Lumber One

Lumber One is built to serve you. Founded in 1962 by Terry Schmid, the company started as a small lumber yard in Avon, Minnesota. Over the years, Terry grew the business through his unwavering commitment to honesty, integrity, and dedication. In 1967, Lumber One expanded its operations by purchasing the Cold Spring Lumber Yard. Twenty years later, the business rebranded as Lumber One, marking a significant milestone in its journey. Today, under the leadership of Terry's children, Barb and Ted, Lumber One is renowned as one of the premier custom home builders in Minnesota.
