About 41 LUMBER: BUILDING YOUR DREAMS, ONE PROJECT AT A TIME.
41 Lumber began when Edward A. Hamar and Albert W. Quandt purchased the Pryor Lumber Company in 1925. Back then, we were the Hamar Quandt Company. Today, the Houghton Super 8 sits on the original site. The company consisted of several large warehouses and a multi-purpose building, with a large bandsaw for resawing timbers for the local mines, and a planer, a profiler, and a shop to manufacture windows and doors.
Today, Team 41 Lumber is led by the third and fourth generations of the Quandt family. Our Team of knowledgeable, skilled, trained professionals are ready to serve you. We have the expertise for your project, from Kitchen and Bath Specialists to our Residential Design Team or our Sales Team, who knows how to build and solve problems with years of experience to back it up. We carry a full line of building materials and lumber for all projects, big and small. We stand by our motto: better products, betters results.
Building your dreams, one project at a time. Let’s get started on your next project today.
