Kelleher

What Kelleher does

Kelleher Corporation is a wholesale distributor of wood moulding, lumber, siding, primed boards, and doors, founded in 1970 by Don Kelleher in San Rafael, California, and now operating as 'Kelleher – A Woodgrain Company' following its 2025 acquisition by Woodgrain. The company distributes over 1,400 moulding SKUs across species including Pine, Douglas Fir, MDF, Oak, Poplar, Alder, and Redwood, sourced from multiple mills worldwide, and markets proprietary Advantage PLUS treated siding with a 30-year warranty. Its door offering combines stocked wood doors from Rogue Valley Door with decorative glass from ODL Glass, and its exterior product line includes NewTechWood composite decking.

Kelleher's business model is exclusively wholesale-to-trade: it sells to home centers, lumber yards, and developers through a dealer network and never directly to the general public. The company operates six physical facilities across Northern California (San Rafael HQ, Novato, Sonoma Door Division, Sacramento), Southern California (Ontario), and Hawaii (Kapolei), with regional sales contacts covering Northern California, Southern California, Sacramento, and Hawaii markets. Its stated service territory is California, Nevada, and Hawaii. Pricing is quote-based and negotiated through authorized dealers rather than publicly listed, with no direct e-commerce consumer channel.

Revenue mechanics rely on bulk hardware sales of building products to B2B channel partners, with no disclosed pricing tiers, contract terms, or revenue figures. The company does not operate a mobile app or public API, and no AI, machine-learning, or advanced digital platform capabilities are referenced in available materials. As a Woodgrain subsidiary since early 2025, Kelleher's strategic direction is now set within the broader context of Woodgrain's national millwork and building products platform spanning the US and Chile.

Others

• W.R. Grace / Specified Lumber (regional millwork distributors): Specified Lumber Inc and similar regional millwork distributors operate smaller-scale moulding and specialty lumber distribution businesses serving local home centers and lumber yards, comparable to Kelleher's niche in wood moulding distribution though typically at smaller scale.

Broad incumbents

• Weyerhaeuser: Weyerhaeuser is one of the largest US timberland owners and manufacturers of wood products including lumber, panels, and engineered wood. It is an upstream supplier to wholesale distributors like Kelleher and competes in adjacent building products distribution channels.
• Boise Cascade: Boise Cascade is a major US manufacturer and distributor of engineered wood products, plywood, and lumber, with a building materials distribution arm serving retail dealers and home centers. Comparable to Kelleher as a wood products supplier to the same dealer channel, though it operates at significantly larger scale and also manufactures.
• ABC Supply Co. ABC Supply is the largest wholesale distributor of roofing, siding, windows, and exterior building products in North America. While its primary focus is roofing/siding rather than moulding, it overlaps with Kelleher's siding, primed board, and exterior building products categories and serves similar dealer/pro contractor customers.
