Sherwood Lumber Corp

What Sherwood Lumber Corp does

Sherwood Lumber Corp is a privately-held, family-owned North American distributor of specialty and commodity lumber, panels, and exterior building materials, founded in 1954 by Bernard Goodman and headquartered at 225 Broadhollow Rd., Melville, NY. The company is now in its third generation of Goodman family leadership, with Andrew Goodman serving as CEO and Michael, Joshua, and Aytan Goodman in executive roles as of 2025. Sherwood distributes more than 40,000 SKUs sourced from over 300 vendors worldwide to more than 2,000 customers, including over 1,800 lumber yards, building material distributors, manufacturers, and industrial accounts across the United States and Canada, through a coast-to-coast network of distribution centers and reload operations in five US regions, supported by more than 60 million board feet of on-ground inventory and 48-hour Quick Ship delivery.

The company's core technical and service capabilities are built around three proprietary offerings: the Lumber Numbers market intelligence subscription, which dissects the lumber market by species, grade, dimension, and length and produces Relative Price Charts for traders, hedgers, and sawmills; the PET Saw (Precision End Trim Saw) custom lumber trimming service operating at 100,000 BF per day capacity with 1/32-inch precision and a 2-day turnaround; and the Guaranteed Forward Pricing risk management program, which enables customers to lock in fixed prices for up to one year in advance (minimum 100,000 bdft). Distribution is reinforced by FSC chain-of-custody certification for sustainable products and an exclusive or core distribution footprint for branded exterior building lines including LP SmartSide, Everlast, MoistureShield, RDI Railing, TYPAR, Aeratis, Kleer, Adorn, ZipUp, Americana, and FX LumberGuard.

Sherwood's go-to-market combines direct enterprise field sales, executed by more than 50 sales professionals with over 1,000 years of combined industry experience, with channel distribution through strategically placed yards and reload facilities that enable same-day delivery, partial-truckload stop-offs, and sub-30-minute inquiry response. The revenue model is predominantly one-time product sales across commodity and specialty lines, supplemented by the Lumber Numbers subscription ($1,195/year or $125/month) and multi-year Forward Pricing contracts. Marketing channels include the Lumber Chat blog, the Stocked and Delivered podcast, email newsletters, social media (Facebook, Twitter/X, LinkedIn, Instagram, YouTube), and customer events such as the annual Palmer Open House. Revenue is not publicly disclosed, and no institutional funding rounds, acquisitions, or public-market activity are evidenced in the data.
