Company, which used Western Red Cedar to manufacture wooden hot tub barrels and sauna rooms. From the very beginning, the Selectwood mission was to provide local contractors with high-grade Red Cedar, Redwood, and Douglas Fir. It was a promising idea, but it required several years of dedication, resourcefulness, and determination for the company to evolve into what it is today, a trusted and reputable supplier of fine, specialty lumber and high quality products for the best homes in New England.<\/p>\n<p>In 1995, we moved our operation from an old brick warehouse on the Lamprey River in Newmarket, New Hampshire to a new, modern facility in Portsmouth where we continue to grow and thrive at 275 Constitution Avenue, a very short ride off Interstate 95.<\/p>\n<p>Eldredge Lumber and Hardware, a third generation, family-owned and operated building supplies company based in York, Maine, acquired Selectwood in 2020. The acquisition represented a shared philosophical reckoning for both businesses: a commitment to sustainable products, a tradition of expert advice and customer service, and a genuine appreciation for the communities served. Throughout our website you will discover numerous examples of how Eldredge Lumber \/ Selectwood has grown in the most positive of ways including: product diversification, experienced outside contractor sales and support, an expanded, well-stocked, warehouse serviced by a dedicated, customer-first crew, an in-house custom woodshop, and a staff of seasoned millwork professionals who the best builders, contractors, and architects in Northern New England trust to see their jobs through from start to finish.<\/p>\n<p>We take great pride in what we do, and will always strive to provide you with the most accurate information available on the products you buy for the homes you build or own. We invite you to visit our showroom and warehouse, Monday through Friday, 7am \u2013 5pm.
