In 1927, Michael H. Lezzer, along with his cousins, Charlie and Lewis Sandri, founded the Lezzer-Sandri Lumber and Farm Equipment Co. The business was located on State Street, Curwensville. In 1949, Lezzer, along with his sons Maurice and Ken, diversified the lumber division of the business naming it Lezzer Lumber Co.
The business’ office and warehouse were located on State Street where they remained until 1971 when a destructive fire forced the business to move to its present site on Schofield Street. After the move in 1971, the company expanded from a traditional lumber company to a home center servicing builders, remodelers, commercial contractors and homeowners.
What started in the small town of Curwensville has grown and evolved throughout its 95+ years of operations to include 11 retail stores, a truss manufacturing facility and three commercial door locations which service not only Pennsylvania but surrounding states.
“We are a family-owned business. Many people appreciate that we are not a box store,” Dave Lezzer said.Lezzer Lumber has been an LMC Dealer since 1973.
