Top Showrooms: Hammond Lumber Company

Hammond Lumber Company maintains its new and expanded showroom in Portland, Maine – the state’s largest and fastest-growing city.

But Hammond Lumber Company’s showroom and design presence is not limited to Portland. Each of the dealer’s 22 locations in Maine and New Hampshire hosts a showroom.

In 2023, the Portland store underwent an expansion, enhancing its capacity to better cater to our customer’s needs in a large market. The expansion included increased sales floor space, additional employee workspaces, a new showroom display area, and additional customer meeting spaces. 

“There was a need for a larger footprint to accommodate growing operations,” Sadie Hammond, director of organizational development, at Hammond Lumber Company, told HBSDealer.

The Portland store is led by a dedicated team of 60 employees, including 18 account managers, 3 kitchen & bath designers, and 3 drafting designers. Overall, the Belgrade, Maine-based company has 930 employees.

Hammond Lumber Company is a full-line lumber and building materials dealer with a pro-customer focus, serving residential, commercial, and multi-family building needs. 

The company is a window and door specialty dealer featuring Marvin and Andersen. Across its locations, Hammond Lumber Company also hosts Marvin design galleries and Anderson Circle of  Excellence showrooms. Additionally, the prodealer is an Andersen Diamond dealer.  

The Portland showroom features an array of product displays, including windows and doors, decking and railing, siding, kitchen and bath, and more. AZEK and Trex are the dealer’s largest decking brands.  

Behind the dealer’s recent Portland expansion was the goal of creating a sophisticated showroom environment, appealing to professional builders, homeowners, and architects.

“Visiting Hammond Lumber Company's showroom offers the benefit of exploring high quality, up-to-date products and designs in a visually appealing environment,” Sadie Hammond notes. “Customers can explore various options for their home improvement projects and receive assistance and guidance from our knowledgeable staff.”

Hammond Lumber Company offers design services through its Kitchen, Bath & Flooring  Design Centers. This includes drafting and estimating services through its “Home Planning Center” featuring thousands of stock drawings for customers to choose from. 

“We also offer custom drawings, free of charge with the purchase of materials,” Sadie Hammond says. “Engineered wood product design is included and offered through our drafting and estimating services.”

Founded in 1953 and an LMC dealer since 1983, Hammond Lumber Company remains family-owned and operated and is now in its fourth generation. Hammond Lumber Company is also the second-largest family-owned business in Maine, behind L.L. Bean. 

The prodealer has been recognized as one of the “Best Places to Work in Maine” for three consecutive years and is 2023 “Best Companies to Work For in New Hampshire” honoree.
