Just a friendly reminder that our offices and facilities will be closed on Friday, July 3rd, in observance of Independence Day. We will be back in the office, bright and early, on Monday, July 6th.

This Fourth of July is incredibly special as our nation celebrates its 250th milestone anniversary. Milestones like this fill us with immense pride. We are deeply grateful to operate right here in the USA, sourcing local timber and manufacturing high-quality, American-made products every single day. Thank you for supporting American workers and local manufacturing!

As we celebrate 250 years of freedom, we also want to extend our deepest gratitude to all who have served and are currently serving in the military. Your dedication and sacrifice ensure the freedoms we celebrate today.

We wish everyone a safe, historic, and happy 4th of July filled with celebration and good times! 🎉✨

At Cummings Lumber Company, our foundation is built on two things: top-tier quality and a deeply rooted family legacy. Today, we are incredibly proud to celebrate a major milestone for the man who keeps that tradition moving forward. Our President, Scott Cummings, is officially marking 33 years of dedication to the company!

As the founder’s great-grandson, Scott took the helm as President in 2014. For more than three decades, his vision has ensured that our four-generation commitment to providing customers with unmatched service and premier lumber products remains stronger than ever.

Resilience, Community, and Good BBQ

This month also brings us to the two-year anniversary of the 2024 mill fire. To honor how far the company has come since that challenging time, and to show his appreciation for the hard work of his team, Scott recently treated all employees to a spectacular, catered BBQ lunch. It was a wonderful opportunity for the Cummings Lumber family to gather, connect, and look toward a bright future.

A Heartfelt Thank You from the Employees

An organization is only as strong as its leadership, and on behalf of all the employees at Cummings Lumber, we want to extend our deepest gratitude to Scott.

Thank you, Scott, for your steadfast guidance, your generosity, and your unique ability to lead us through both the good times and the bad. Your dedication not only preserves our family history but inspires all of us to keep delivering the quality our customers rely on.

Here is to 33 years of excellence, and many more to come!
