About
Our Heritage
For over 75 years, Wilson Lumber Company has partnered with residential and commercial builders who value reliability, focused guidance, and long-term relationships.
It's more than building materials.
At Wilson Lumber, we help protect schedules.
In an industry where delays, miscommunication, and shifting markets can derail momentum, our role is simple: provide what you need, when you need it, and communicate clearly every step of the way.
Built on Principles That Don’t Change
Wilson Lumber was founded on a straightforward belief:
Always do the right thing.
That means:
- Treat others the way you want to be treated.
- Get the facts before making decisions.
- Take responsibility for outcomes.
- Challenge ourselves to grow.
Markets change.
Products evolve.
But principles endure.
And those principles guide how we serve builders every day.
More Than a Lumberyard
From framing lumber and engineered wood to windows, doors, and millwork, we provide complete material solutions for builders who need dependable supply and consistent execution.
Our teams work closely with customers to:
- Review plans
- Coordinate delivery schedules
- Manage lead times
- Identify potential risks early
- Ensure materials arrive on time and in full
Because your reputation depends on your schedule... and we take that seriously.
Our Proven Process
We don’t leave execution to chance.
Engage
We review every order carefully, confirm specifications, and ensure alignment before materials are placed.
Provide
We schedule, receive, build, and triple-check quality control before staging for delivery.
Moment of Truth
We load accurately, verify documentation, and deliver with precision.
Review
We follow up, support fill-in needs, and remain available long after the drop.
It’s a disciplined process designed to reduce friction and eliminate surprises.
A Partner for Builders Who Value Partnership
We work best with builders who:
- Care about schedule integrity
- Value communication
- Are focused on long-term growth
- Want a proactive supply partner
Whether residential or commercial, our goal is the same - to help you confidently move projects forward.
Our Commitment
Our guarantee is simple:
On time and in full in everything we do.
That’s not a slogan.
It's a daily standard.

Our Mission

People often make remarks about the boldness of our mission statement at Wilson Lumber. With no apologies our hope is that our mission statement would drive everything we do. It does however, merit some explanation. At some point in our lives and in our business we must ask the question “Why are we here?” For any business there is an obvious answer. “To make money of course!” Well, that is true and certainly is a reasonable goal. But we aim for more.
To build a successful company includes making a profit, growth, adding to our employment and so on. We budget, forecast and set monetary and operational goals to help us to build a successful business. We wouldn’t be here long if we didn’t. Giving back to our community is also a part of success and we regularly do so.
That upholds Christlike principles adds meaning and purpose. We strive to do all of the above while maintaining our integrity. We do what we say we’re going to do, when we say we’re going to do it. We conduct ourselves in love, that is, “do to others what you would have them do to you”. Jesus Christ himself said that in Matthew 7:12. You do not have to be a Christian to work at Wilson Lumber; you only need to agree with Matthew 7:12. You certainly do not need to be a Christian to buy from or sell to us, but we encourage you to hold us accountable to upholding Christlike principles.
And inspires people to grow. What a challenge! The old saying goes “you’re either growing or you’re dying”. Well, we’ll take growth. What kind of growth? Our philosophy is that personal growth is generally a good thing. So it may be that the kind of growth we inspire makes an employee a better salesman or driver or whatever, but it may be growth that makes someone a better husband or wife. It may be that we have an employee who always wanted to go to dental school and we help them in this somehow. Inspiring people to be their best is something we value and an opportunity we welcome.

People Over Profits: A Building Materials Success Story
“People over profits” is a phrase we hear more and more from many areas of business. But when you really put your money behind your team and your values, it can be a huge point of differentiation and a great way to drive long-last relationships.
Suppliers Are People Too
It’s easy to think, especially in the last 24 months, that a supplier is someone who calls you just to tell you how much your price is going up or which products you ordered are not coming.
