History
Hammond Lumber Company is one of the largest independent building material suppliers in New England. For over half-a-century, the Hammond name has meant quality forest products from the Belgrade area, in Central Maine.
1953
Our founder, Clifton "Skip" Hammond begins a diesel-powered sawmill operation in Belgrade. Later this year, Skip buys out his partner for $50, hires two employees and Hammond Lumber Company is on its way!
1967
All of Hammond Lumber Company's retail stores can trace their beginnings to 1967, when Skip's son, Donald, started our retail division. The first store, and still our home base, was in Belgrade. Today, we have operations throughout the state of Maine.
1975
A new mill is built and our second retail store opens in Skowhegan.
1987
One of our pride and joys is our Maine Pine Log Homes division. It dates to 1987, when we first began manufacturing these extraordinary living spaces.
1996
Skip Hammond steps down and hands over the reins of leadership to his son, Donald. A third generation is involved, too: Donald's son, Mike, is now Vice President.
2003
We celebrate our 50th anniversary!
2006
We remodel the Belgrade and Bangor stores to add new showrooms, administrative and warehouse space.
2007
We earn our FSC chain of custody certification, allowing us to sell certified wood products.
2008
Our eighth location opens in Portland, Maine, with experienced sales professionals and a drive through warehouse.
2010
Downeast Building Supply in Brunswick, Maine, is purchased from the Morrell family. The acquisition brings certified kitchen designers and a sales team whose home is the Southern Mid-Coast region of Maine.
