Why Sherwood Lumber
When it comes to lumber distributors, there is no shortage of options around the country, from the massive conglomerates to the smaller independent operations.
So why do our customers choose to do business with Sherwood Lumber over the competition? Well, we asked them. Quite simply, it's the fact that we've been there for them when they needed us. Whether it's on price, quality of product or delivery, we've made a point to be there for our customers time and time again. And if our sixty years in the industry have taught us anything, it's to understand and value those customers who have made that choice and do everything in our power to help them feel they made the right decision. Check out what our clients are saying.
The reasons to do business with Sherwood Lumber are simple:
INVENTORY & DISTRIBUTION We have invested where few others have. With over 60 million board feet on the ground, we're able to supply our customers with the product they need, when they need it. And in today's turbulent climate, that's more valuable to our clients than ever before. + more
Our wide-ranging distribution centers dependably serve our customers coast to coast, supplying more than 1800 lumber yards and manufacturers with building materials from environmentally managed products.
Distribution Center Sales: Our "Quick Ship" program is committed to deliver product to you within 48 hours. With strategic locations in key markets Sherwood Lumber is there also to provide the necessary flexibility to assist in the long term management of your inventory needs.
