Over a century of time-honored, quality service

Graves Lumber Co. has successfully grown for over a century and is proud of its close-knit team of professionals. Graves is known throughout the building industry for their expertise in rough lumber, windows, cabinetry and trim. They are a comprehensive "One-Stop Shop" for builders, with a customer service team that is unsurpassed. Delivery is "98% on time" to Northeast Ohio and beyond.

Graves Lumber Co., formerly known as Buy-Rite Lumber Company, is a subsidiary of Brown-Graves Company. Brown-Graves Company incorporated as Goehring Manufacturing in 1899, a subsidiary of Pittsburgh Plate Glass Company. In 1914 the Chairman of this company, Captain Brown, merged with Harvey L. Graves to form Brown-Graves Company. The company is now owned entirely by the Graves family.

"It's the people that make the real difference at Graves Lumber Co.", said Keith Graves, President and CEO. Longevity is the norm with our expert sales representatives. Over 90% of our sales force has been serving customers for fifteen years or longer. Graves' customers value the fact that they are given the right information and the right products the first time.

Graves Lumber Co. has continued to grow into areas that their builders need. For this reason they began their Construction Services Division of the company. This division offers installed framing & window and door installation services for customers who prefer one price for materials and labor for their projects. Builders like the fact that they can get turn-key quotes from a company that has stood behind their work for many years, and will continue to do so. With Graves' team of qualified supervision, builders know the job gets done right.

Roughly ten years ago the company opened their Kitchen and Bath Design Showroom, which is now called CabinetCraft. This offers builders the ability to send their customer to a showroom where they can choose upgrades for their new homes. They also have a Window and Door Showroom which offers the full line of Andersen windows and Therma-Tru exterior door products. Both of these showrooms are open to the public by appointment.
