ABOUT US

At Dain’s Lumber we offer nearly every lumber and building material product available including doors, windows, siding, mouldings, composite, vinyl and wood decking, drywall, roofing supplies and even a complete contractor hardware store that offers power and hand tools. We offer fast and efficient deliveries to homes and job-sites throughout Westchester, Putnam and surrounding counties and portions of Connecticut.

We’ve also continued to expand our services in Peekskill . We’ve added two showrooms to our retail and outdoor area so customers can see products off the shelf and in their elements. And, most recently, we added our very own sawmill. Now, we can take locally sourced, reclaimed wood and create beautiful slabs, mantels and one-of-a-kind pieces for our customers.

OUR STORY

Located in Peekskill, New York, right along the Hudson River, Dain’s Lumber is one of the country’s oldest retail lumberyards, established in 1848. And it’s been continually owned and operated by our family ever since, without ever closing our doors for business.

Our great-great-grandfather, Nathaniel Dain, started this lumber company because he saw an opportunity — an opportunity to make a stable living for his family and an opportunity to help his community. He committed himself to providing the highest quality lumber available along with unlimited advice and expertise. He built this company on the pillars of unparalleled quality and personal service. That’s what made his company take off, stand out, and continue to grow throughout the years.

In the first decades of the lumber business, things were a little different. Deliveries to construction sites were done by horse, wagon, and even by river in the company-owned schooner “Annie.” Of course, a lot has changed since then. Through all of the economic struggles during the Civil War, the Great Depression, and even the most recent Recession, our commitment to providing our customers with the best building materials, no matter what it takes, has stayed the same.

Today, James Dain is the sixth-generation Dain to head up the business. James operates Dain's Lumber with the help of his wife, Megan Lyons-Dain. And every day, we will continue to open the lumberyard with the same mission in mind that Nathaniel Dain started over 170 years ago.
