Established in 1911, The Miller Lumber Company has been serving Central Oregon's builders and homeowners for over a century. Each location features a complete lumber yard, fully stocked hardware store, and job-site delivery service.
Services
The dusty horse-drawn lumber wagons that 70 years ago hauled planks to erect Bend's historic Pine Tavern have now become a convoy of flatbeds delivering wood for entire subdivisions. A family business spanning three generations and four locations, Miller Lumber has been proudly serving Central Oregon for almost a century - nearly as long as Bend itself has existed.
In 1954, Miller Lumber sent this float down the Deschutes River through Drake Park for the long-since retired Bend Water Pageant. The Miller Lumber Company took out an ad in the paper to offer their congratulations and to announce the 1936 opening of Bend's famous Pine Tavern restaurant. In 1960, The Miller Lumber Company moved from their Wall St. location to a cutting-edge new building on Division.
Miller Lumber stocks a variety of environmentally friendly building materials. In addition, since 2005 Miller Lumber has been an approved chain of custody supplier of FSC certified lumber and plywood. Contact your sales rep for sourcing availability. Always working toward better internal sustainability, Miller Lumber recently re-lit the Bend headquarters with energy efficient LED bulbs, as part of Oregon's Energy Trust program. The yards have intensified efforts of separating and keeping out of the landfill many tons of wood and metal recyclable materials.
The Canadian Wood Council (the national association representing Canadian manufacturers of wood products) has a mission to maintain and expand markets for Canadian wood products by working with building codes and standards and by developing and communicating technical information to architects, engineers, and builders.

Miller Lumber is a true multigenerational family owned business. They've been serving Central Oregon for over 100 years. I appreciate their experienced staff and easy access and parking. The support they've shown the community over the years is something you would never see from a company that's not locally owned.

Just went in to the Bend location to buy more material, about $3000 worth in the past couple weeks and return a $24 bundle of shake I didn't need, with a receipt. The guy said that it looked smaller then the other bundles and wouldnt return it. I don't need your shake or the $24, but it would be nice not be called a dishonest liar when you are honest and giving you more business. Pathetic.
Hope you feel good about that big decision you made today at work, you might even have saved the company. I wonder what business values have been passed down from the generations they talk about at Miller Lumber Co? Glad there is a a choice in town. See you over at Parr Lumber

I'm an experienced home remodeler and DIYer. I've gone into Miller many times as it's very close to my home. When I go to a local store, I expect better lumber than I'll find at the big box stores and some friendly knowledgeable service. Miller offers neither, the lumber is better at the big box stores. The last fence boards I bought there were very warped, and they were picked for and handed to me.
One board had a hockey stick curve in it. The staff seems unhappy, and more keen at having a laugh at the people who shop there than helping. I much prefer Parr Lumber, or the big box stores.

Needed to buy nails for a house we were framing by the college, thought I'd save time and buy them at Miller. They wanted $53 for a box that costs $31 at the nail supply shops. Similar experience when trying to pick up a saw blade and router bit. Counter person was indignant when I asked why their prices were so much higher. It's ok, I just won't ever shop there again and will recommend to my contractor and superintendent friends they DON'T shop Miller.

This is a real lumber yard with all kinds of construction related items inside. If you haven't been to a lumber yard you go inside before you go into the yard, check for any rules if it's your first time. This is also the only place around Bend that you can find the Occidental leather tool bags and they had a great selection today. I've both two sets of bags from here.
They don't like returns, and thank fully all I've had was an exchange and even that was difficult. Don't bother price comparisons here they are more expensive, but if you ask a question they will either know the answer or tell you they don't know and I always take their suggestions because they know. My only complaint is when things slowed down awhile back they let the inventory drop so low that I thought they were planning to close.
Right now it's full. FYI, don't expect the same service when you go to different Miller lumbers, I've used this one enough to be known and I get treated well, I went to the Madras one and I was ignored, even worse they helped other ppl who arrived after I did. So if you don't know construction this place can be a little intimating.
