Today, we’re celebrating a truly remarkable milestone: Scott Cummings is marking his 32nd year with Cummings Lumber Company! As the founder’s great-grandson, Scott has continued a proud family tradition of excellence, taking the helm as President in 2014.

Under Scott’s leadership, the company has continued to thrive, upholding the undying commitment to provide customers with Cummings Lumber quality service and a quality product – a tradition that has spanned four generations.

Scott’s dedication was never more evident than in June 2024, when our mill faced a devastating fire. Through that incredibly challenging time, Scott’s unwavering direction and leadership were instrumental in guiding us through. We, the employees, want to express our deepest gratitude to Scott for getting us through that difficult period and leading the charge in rebuilding.

You can see the incredible journey of recovery, from the fire itself to the remarkable progress over the past year, in this video:

Thank you, Scott, for your incredible dedication, leadership, and for continuing the legacy of quality that defines Cummings Lumber Company!

Just a friendly reminder that we will be closed on Friday, July 4th, in observance of Independence Day.

We wish everyone a safe and happy 4th of July filled with celebration and good times. 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.

We’ll be back in the office, bright and early on Monday, July 7th.
