What began in 1925 with R.F. Cook’s passion for lumber and buildings has grown into a fourth-generation family business celebrating a monumental 100 years of service in Attica. Founded in the years following World War I, Attica Lumber has remained rooted in the same principles through generations, navigating economic shifts and industry changes while staying true to its core values of quality and community.

The company’s longevity is a testament to its ability to adapt while maintaining a steadfast commitment to its customers. From its early days supplying materials for local homes and farms, Attica Lumber has evolved, expanding its product lines and services to meet the changing needs of builders and homeowners alike. Yet, at its heart, it remains a family-run enterprise where personalized service and deep local knowledge are paramount.

Current leadership attributes the century milestone to loyal employees, dedicated customers, and the foundational vision set a hundred years ago. The celebration is not just about a business surviving; it’s about a local institution thriving and embedding itself into the fabric of the community’s history. As Attica Lumber looks to the future, it carries forward a legacy of trust, quality materials, and the simple, enduring value of a handshake deal.
