Eldredge Lumber & Hardware

What Eldredge Lumber & Hardware does

Eldredge Lumber & Hardware is a multi-generational, family-owned regional building materials and home improvement retailer founded in 1937 in York, Maine, and currently operated by third-generation owner Scott Eldredge. The company operates four retail locations across southern Maine and New Hampshire (York, Portland, Sanford, and Portsmouth), supported by a dedicated outside sales team of 20+ representatives who meet contractors at job sites for ordering, quoting, free estimates, and material takeoffs. Eldredge maintains free delivery service to job sites across Maine, New Hampshire, Massachusetts, and Vermont, functioning as a regional full-service contractor supply partner as well as a retail destination for homeowners.

The product portfolio spans lumber and engineered building materials, windows and doors (Marvin, Andersen, Mathews Brothers), kitchen, bath, and flooring (Atlantic Design Center featuring Sub-Zero, Wolf, Asko, and Best appliances), paint and decorating (Benjamin Moore), hardware and housewares (Makita, DeWalt, Milwaukee, Festool), 100% organic gardening (staffed by 12 AOLCP-certified professionals), roll-off dumpster rental, and self-storage under the Ace brand. The company also operates specialty sub-brands including Eldredge Selectwood (a drive-thru sustainable lumber warehouse in Portsmouth, NH), Marvin Design Gallery, Port Window & Door, and Eldredge Bros. Fly Shop.

The business model combines direct-to-consumer retail across showroom-equipped stores with enterprise field sales targeting contractors through dedicated contractor sales centers and outside sales representatives. Revenue is generated through one-time product sales, professional design and installation services (kitchen/bath), and complementary recurring streams such as self-storage rentals and dumpster rentals. The company employs 120+ people, has no external investors or private equity involvement, and has grown entirely through organic reinvestment and incremental expansion of its physical footprint and related operating subsidiaries.
