Carter Lumber expands in the Carolinas
Carter Lumber opened a new full-service lumberyard in Columbia, South Carolina.
The move is described by the Kent, Ohio-based prodealer as another step in a steady expansion story, and an investment in growing southern markets.
The Columbia location — located at 1325 Veterans Road —will serve as an extension of our Charlotte and Triad North Carolina markets, operating under the same management team headed by Market Vice President, Brandon Kujawski.
Brandon Kujawski on the new location, “Carter Lumber has serviced builders in Columbia for years from our Charlotte Market, but this new location will allow us to finally provide the complete package, from products to service, for those builders and many more. We strive to provide the best service in this industry, and we’re excited to prove that to home builders in Columbia.”
Gareth Rumley, a Columbia native and graduate of the University of South Carolina, has recently joined the company as the General Manager of the new lumberyard. Gareth and the management team are currently interviewing for operations and sales positions to build an industry-leading team for the market.
The Columbia Carter Lumber will be full-service, stocking a complete range of lumber and millwork products, as well as windows, interior and exterior doors, engineered wood products, cement siding, structural hardware, and much more. To round out critical services for builders, we will offer full estimating and design solutions for roof and floor trusses, wall panels, engineered wood floor systems, and cabinetry. With included on-site management, the Columbia location will also offer turnkey installation services for framing, windows, cement siding, cabinets, doors, and interior trim.
Carter Lumber operates more than 170 location in 13 states. It operates four branded divisions: Carter Lumber, Holmes Lumber Company, Kight Home Center and Kempsville Building Materials.
