Cyr Lumber & Home Center

What Cyr Lumber & Home Center does

Cyr Lumber & Home Center, Inc. (legal entity Cyr Lumber Co., Inc.) is a privately held, family-owned independent home center founded in September 1984 by Ron and Rachel Cyr in Windham, New Hampshire. The company operates three retail locations — a flagship 16,000 sq. ft. store in Windham plus stores in Tilton and Warner — together with three Kitchen & Bath Design Center showrooms in Windham, Salem, and Manchester, NH, serving customers across New Hampshire, eastern Massachusetts, and southern Maine. Its product surface spans more than 20,000 SKUs across lumber (kiln-dried, pressure-treated, LVLs, I-joists, plywood, OSB, AdvanTech), decking and railing (Trex, TimberTech, Azek), millwork (Andersen windows and doors), flooring, roofing and siding (GAF, IKO, James Hardie), hardware, and paint and stain (Benjamin Moore, Cabot) under the Countryside Paint sub-brand.

Revenue is generated through five streams: one-time sales of lumber and building materials, hardware and tool sales, professional installation services for windows, doors, flooring, decking, and related categories (with a 2-year workmanship warranty), equipment and dumpster rentals, and design services including kitchen and bath design, deck design, lumber take-offs, and 3-D architectural rendering. Go-to-market is omnichannel retail: physical storefronts with counter sales, a contractor sales team and credit program, job-site delivery, a contractor online portal at myaccount.cyrlumber.com, and community-driven word-of-mouth referrals. The company maintains an ACE Hardware affiliation that delivers buying power across more than 10,000 stores, and holds memberships in regional and national trade associations including SNHHBRA, NRHA, NKBA, and NERHA.

The business is bootstrapped and remains under family ownership (Kevin Cyr as President; Nevin Cyr GM of Tilton; Kevin McKay GM of Warner) with no disclosed venture, private-equity, or institutional backing. Revenue is not publicly disclosed; no AI/ML capabilities, proprietary technology platforms, patents, certifications, or M&A activity are reported. Operating model is operationally mature, founder-controlled, and geographically concentrated within a single New England regional market.

Scale indicators5 records

Recent moves1 record

Expansion highlights4 records

Broad incumbents

• Lowe's Companies: National big-box home improvement retailer with overlapping product mix in lumber, building materials, hardware, millwork, and installed sales. Direct competitor to Cyr's full-service home center offering, but operates at vastly greater scale across all 50 U.S. states.
• The Home Depot: Largest U.S. home improvement retailer and the primary big-box competitor explicitly referenced in Cyr's own customer testimonials. Competes directly across the same core categories — lumber, building materials, hardware, paint, flooring, millwork, and contractor services.
• Menard Inc. Privately-held, family-owned big-box home improvement chain based in the Midwest. Notably analogous to Cyr in family-controlled private ownership structure and broad building-materials focus, though operating at materially larger scale across dozens of states.
• Do it Best Corp. Hardware retailer cooperative analogous to True Value and ACE Hardware. Similar affiliation/cooperative structure that gives independent retailers collective buying power — the same structural model Cyr benefits from through its ACE affiliation.
• ABC Supply Co. Largest U.S. wholesale distributor of roofing, siding, and select building products with deep contractor relationships. Comparable building-materials distribution model and contractor go-to-market motion to Cyr's installation and contractor services.
• True Value Company: Hardware retailer cooperative serving independent local hardware stores. Highly comparable affiliation/cooperative model to Cyr's ACE Hardware partnership, with similar product breadth in tools, paint, plumbing, electrical, and building supplies.

Direct peers

• Aubuchon Hardware: Family-owned New England hardware chain with ~150 stores across the same Northeast geography Cyr serves. Closest regional comparable in footprint, customer mix (contractors + homeowners), and small-format store strategy.
• Ring's End: Family-owned regional lumber and building materials retailer operating across Connecticut, New York, and surrounding New England. Closest comparable in family ownership, multi-departmental home-center model, design and installation services, and contractor-plus-DIY customer mix.
• 84 Lumber Company: Privately-held building materials retailer focused on lumber, engineered wood, trusses, and contractor supply. Comparable contractor-focused business model and product mix to Cyr's structural materials business.
• Benson Lumber & Hardware: Local New Hampshire-based lumber and hardware retailer explicitly named in Cyr's own customer testimonials as a direct competitor. Closest geography-and-format peer — independent regional home center competing for the same NH contractor and DIY customer base.
