McCabe Lumber Company

What McCabe Lumber Company does

McCabe Lumber Company (legal name Robert McCabe Company, Inc.) is a privately held, single-location building-materials dealer headquartered at 118 Northeast Drive in Loveland, Ohio, serving the Cincinnati metropolitan area. The company sells lumber, decking, railing, doors, windows, structural components, panels, siding, trim, millwork, and hardware, and claims the largest Western Red Cedar inventory in the Tri-State region. It operates an integrated supply model combining a retail showroom, warehouse, in-house roof-and-floor truss manufacturing plant, and a custom millwork shop, allowing it to serve as both a distributor of branded products and a fabricator of project-specific components.

The business runs an omnichannel fulfillment model — showroom sales, delivery fleet, express pickup, and outside sales-rep coverage — and has layered a digital ordering layer on top via the Epicor-based McCabe Portal for account-based purchasing. It distributes premium brands including Trex, TimberTech/AZEK, Andersen, James Hardie, Deckorators, and Fortress, and has expanded outdoor-living SKUs (privacy screens, pergolas) and added OC Lumber to broaden share of wallet on builder projects. The customer base is split between professional builders/contractors (primary, served through outside sales and the portal) and homeowners (walk-in and showroom).

Revenue mechanics are conventional distribution economics: margin on materials, plus fabrication margin on trusses and custom millwork, plus delivery and pickup fees. The firm is privately held, Ohio-incorporated, with a disclosed headcount of 11–50 employees, and has not announced funding rounds, acquisitions, or leadership transitions in the available material. Growth direction is not well-evidenced; the principal observable signals are SKU additions and a digital channel build-out rather than geographic or M&A expansion.
