North American Hardwood Lumber

Becoming one of the largest midwest manufacturers of North American hardwoods doesn’t just happen – it takes a commitment to quality, service and sustainability. At Kretz Lumber Company, we are committed to providing you the highest quality selection of American hardwoods, and doing so with unsurpassed value.

For over 80 years, we have carefully harvested our hardwood from the slow growth Great Lakes region, providing unsurpassed quality and sustainability to you, our customer. We grade every log that passes through our facility twice – once when it arrives and again before shipping – to ensure it meets your precise specifications. Currently operating 14 dry kilns, with a capacity in excess of 13 million board feet annually, our experienced team follows time-tested procedures to produce high quality lumber – free of stain, sticker-shadow, and other drying defects.
