Matthew & Fields Lumber Company

What Matthew & Fields Lumber Company does

Matthews & Fields Lumber Company is a family-owned lumber and building materials retailer serving the greater Rochester, NY area since 1896. The company operates two physical locations — a flagship yard at 120 Stonewood Avenue in Rochester/Greece and a second yard with a truss fabrication plant at 1230 Lehigh Station Road in Henrietta — supported by a staff of 51–100 employees across inside sales, outside sales, dispatch, and yard operations. Its product portfolio spans lumber (Hem-Fir framing, kiln-dried pressure-treated pine, Weyerhaeuser, Trus Joist, Huber Engineered Woods), windows (Andersen 100/200/400 Series, Silverline, Masterview, VELUX skylights), doors (Masonite, Therma-Tru, JELD-WEN, TruStile, Plastpro), custom-built stairs, decking (TimberTech, Trex, Culpeper), moulding (METRIE, Alexandria, AZEK, Resin Art), and hardware (Schlage, EMTEK, Kwikset, DON-JO).

The company's core technical capability is in-house custom fabrication: trusses designed and built at the Henrietta plant since 1960 (using gang-nail plates since 1962, producing ~20,000 units per year with a truss engineer of 34+ years' experience), custom stairs built to New York State code in pine, oak, poplar, hem-fir, or maple, and a door shop capable of building custom frames and machining door slabs to fit existing frames. The company is an Andersen Circle of Excellence Dealer and operates a showroom displaying Andersen product lines.

Commercially, Matthews & Fields runs a hybrid go-to-market combining inside sales (phone/email/counter orders), outside sales representatives conducting on-site job-site consultations and measurements, free delivery for orders over $200 within the greater Rochester area, and a 'Find Me A Contractor' referral service. Revenue is generated one-time through lumber and building materials sales, custom fabrication services, delivery, and an overstock/bargain channel. The customer base is split between contractors/builders (primary segment) and homeowners (secondary segment), with named accounts including Hamilton Stern Construction, Gerber Homes, Monroe Industries, and individual residential customers. The company is currently managed by the third generation of the Fields family (John, Scott, and Doug Fields), with no external investors, parent company, or disclosed revenue figures.
