The company was founded 90 years ago, but our history goes back 10 generations. Hauling virgin pine logs from Petersham via horse & chain to Gloucester to be used as ship masts for sailing ships was how we got started. Now, for the last 20 years, run by Tom Mann, we focus on reclaimed lumber & granite, and also dabble in specialty lumber from the west coast and the occasional good deal on surplus building materials.

When you stop in, there will be lots of eye candy all over the yard: giant millstones, giant timbers, historic stone artifacts, and lots of choices for your next home project.

This is my favorite pic! Grandma Alice on the left, and Thomas S. Mann Jr. on the right. I think the building behind the truck still bears that same paint, and don't you just love the hand stacked pine getting air dried. Our address can be confusing to some GPS apps. Make sure you reach us and don't end up in the sticks of an adjacent town.

Reclaimed Red Cedar Report

We can custom saw Reclaimed Western Red Cedar up to 12x12x20' long. These are dry beams, so you'll see drying checks, plenty of knots, and the occasional bolt hole. Great for Pergolas and other outdoor structures. Send us your cut list, and we'll quote up.

Flooring Report

Let us saw up a batch from reclaimed Heart Pine, or bring in a batch of new Appalachian hardwood. How about long length, locally milled Ambrosia Maple? Wide plank Rift & Quartered White Oak, we can do it.

Surplus Report

Just one of our niche's, we find good deals. When a mill calls looking to offload some inventory, we usually can't resist. You never know what'll will be in this category: surplus asphalt shingles, porcelain tile, cement siding, short batches of lumber. You normally see these in 16' bundles elsewhere, we buy these first quality, Primed Finger Jointed bevel siding from the same mill, when they get "cut backs."

I love this place. This is as old school as old school can get. I talked to multiple here and they all had answers for me. Super helpful! We rummaged a bit picked out what we needed an headed in to pay. They were able to deliver same day! The delivery driver helped us unload was super awesome. I so glad I found their advertisement on craigslist.

Tom has great finds here! It is a designers dream. He is very easy to work with and tries very hard to accommodate even the smallest of jobs. There are so many great finds! You gotta check him out for yourself.

Mann Lumber is an old school lumber yard run by old school lumbermen. I make one large order per year and a few small ones and have always been happy with the quality and service they offer. Tom, Troy, and the crew have always taken good care of me.

Awful customer service. Won't return calls or emails. Lies to you about your order - Says he's almost done one day and that he hasn't even started the next day. Complaints filed with the Massachusetts Attorney General and BBB. Avoid at all costs.
