It's very rare to find a company with the large product line they have who will also serve anyone who walks in the door, no matter the size of the order. They have moved hundreds of board feet of wood to help me find a board I'm looking for. Great people, great product.

If you need lumber your going to be hard pressed to find a better supplier. They have mountains of lumber in stock.

Yoder Lumber has extremely knowledgeable and helpful staff, an impressive variety of hardwoods to choose from, a gigantic climate-controlled warehouse stacked floor to ceiling with product, trimming and surfacing options once you've made a selection, and better pricing than you'll find anywhere, in addition to having monthly specials on certain woods - despite being a 1.5 hour drive from home, it was well worth the trip, and became my one and only stop for lumber after my first visit. I can't recommend this business highly enough.
