Yoder Building Supplies

What Yoder Building Supplies does

Yoder Building Supplies, Inc. is a family-owned building materials retailer headquartered in Hibbing, Minnesota, serving the Iron Range region of Northern Minnesota. The company operates two physical lumber yard locations — Hibbing (1111 7th Ave E) and Cohasset (26445 Industrial Blvd.) — supplemented by a dedicated Interior Solutions design center at the Hibbing site. Its core business is the supply of lumber, roofing, siding, decking, insulation, windows, doors, and related construction products, sold to three primary customer segments: professional contractors (the primary segment), DIY homeowners, and woodworkers. Free job-site delivery within a 100-mile radius of store locations is a key service differentiator, covering 40+ communities across the region.

The company extends beyond commodity materials supply by offering custom home drafting and design services and a professional interior design practice with 3D modeling capabilities for kitchen and bathroom projects. Product assortment spans premium national brands — Owens Corning (insulation), Trex and Azek (decking), CertainTeed (roofing/siding), Marvin and Pella (windows/doors), Cambria and Corian (countertops), DuraSupreme (cabinetry), Mohawk (flooring), and Kohler/Moen/Delta (sinks/faucets) — with installation coordinated through partners such as St. Germain's.

The business model is direct-to-consumer retail with three revenue streams: one-time building materials sales, one-time interior finishing product sales, and professional design services. Pricing is quote-based and not publicly disclosed. The company is privately held by the Yoder family, employs 11–50 people, has operated in the contracting and building supply business on the Iron Range for over 25 years, and has no external investors, parent company, or institutional ownership on record.
