Meet Mark Prince, manager and grandson to the founder of Calvert City Lumber. Mark’s grandfather, J.B. “Boots” Conn started Calvert City Lumber Co. in 1951 and still going strong in 2019.
During its 68 years in business, Calvert City Lumber has weathered a few storms. Changes in customer buying habits, fluctuations in the national building market, and economic downturns impacted the way this retail building supply store and manufacturer of roof trusses does business.
The family owned and operated company sticks to its guns when it comes to offering personalized customer service and support. “Customers can come in and sit down with our estimating department instead of standing across the counter from someone who has no experience in the industry,” Prince said.
With a staff of 17 employees, Calvert City Lumber is a full line supplier of building materials including: Lumber, windows, doors, moldings, kitchen cabinets, paint, sheet goods and hardware. In addition, the company has a roof truss division manufacturing and selling trusses for homes, pole buildings, and commercial buildings.
Over the years, Calvert City Lumber expanded and evolved to meet the needs of their customers. In the 1960’s and 70’s they contracted and built many of the homes in Calvert City and surrounding areas of New Kuttawa and Eddyville.
Calvert City Lumber Company remains active in its community, serving the industrial plants, local contractors and residents. They are members of Calvert Area Development Association, Kentucky Lake Chamber of Commerce, AGC of Western Kentucky, and the Home Builders Association of Western Kentucky.
Mark started working at Calvert City Lumber Company when he was 14. His grandfather taught him the meaning of hard work and he still demonstrates those skills today.
Calvert City is lucky to have Calvert City Lumber Company. Thank you for your business! #smallbusinessrocks #familyownedandoperated #calvertcityky #lumber #windows #proud
