Moore Lumber & Hardware

What Moore Lumber & Hardware does

Moore Lumber & Hardware is a family-owned, Colorado-based retailer of lumber, building materials, hardware, tools, paint, and complementary home improvement products, operating seven retail locations across the Front Range and mountain corridor (Bailey, Bennett, Castle Rock x2, Conifer, Evergreen, Pine) and a delivery fleet of nearly 30 trucks. Founded in 1947 by William Moore Sr. and now in its third generation of family leadership (Bill Moore, President; Erin Moore, Vice President), the company serves two principal customer segments: professional contractors and remodelers — supported by a dedicated PRO account program with contractor pricing, inside sales, credit services, blueprint take-offs, custom truss design, and jobsite delivery — and homeowners and DIYers, served through in-store consultations, project kits, and weekend workshops. The company became an Ace Hardware affiliate in 1997, extending its product assortment and e-commerce reach via AceHardware.com, and is an authorized dealer for premium brands including Benjamin Moore, STIHL, Trex, TimberTech, Dekorators, Fiberon, Marvin, Andersen, and Windsor.

The core operating model combines traditional brick-and-mortar retail with specialized contractor services that function as the company's primary economic engine. Revenue is generated predominantly through in-store and delivery-based hardware/lumber sales, supplemented by transactional fees on jobsite delivery and special orders, recurring PRO account billing, and professional services such as screen repair, glass cutting, key cutting, small engine repair, and color matching. Notable technical components include a digital spectrophotometer enabling a 100% color-match guarantee across 3,500+ Benjamin Moore colors, precision end-cutting and custom truss design capabilities, and WUI fire-rated product expertise for Colorado's mountain communities. Moore was recognized as a Top 150 HBSDealer nationally in 2023 and acquired Douglas Lumber in Castle Rock in 2015.

The go-to-market is dual-track: enterprise field sales targeting contractors through outside representatives, PRO account managers, and dedicated inside sales support, and direct-to-consumer retail through seven physical stores augmented by AceHardware.com online ordering with same-day and next-day delivery. Marketing relies on local SEO, the MoorePros.com contractor resource hub, community involvement, and word-of-mouth referrals built over 78+ years of family ownership. The company is privately held with no institutional investors, no public funding rounds, and no disclosed revenue; subsidiary operations include Moore at The Meadows (a dedicated paint destination) and the retained Douglas Lumber brand.
