Our operations

Tanner Lumber Co. LLC was founded in Elkins, WV, in May 1984 by Jim and Helen Tanner, pictured at right.  The company began as a wholesale hardwood lumber company and has expanded to two distribution yards in West Virginia and Pennsylvania. The first purchase was in 1988 when Tanner Lumber purchased the Herman Lumber Co. which included a distribution yard in Portage, PA. We grew to open a second facility in Elkins, WV, in 1998.

Tanner Lumber has incorporated both tractor-trailers and straight trucks that operate out of each of the yards. This assures a level of customer service that today's market dictates.
