84 International Division - Tools of the Trade

In the mid-1950's, Joe Hardy, Sr. opened his first 84 Lumber lumberyard, selling to home builders in the tri-state region of Ohio, West Virginia, and Pennsylvania. Within a few years, Joe began to grow the company, expanding beyond that tri-state area and opening new stores all across America, while continuing to follow the "no frills" approach that had led the young company to success.

Joe teamed with his daughter Maggie, who became President in 1993. Together, Joe and Maggie have developed strategic plans, focusing on serving the professional builder. In 2005, 84 Lumber Company stretched across the United States, with nearly 400 stores nationwide, from California to Florida to Massachusetts, and sales in excess of $2 billion.

Joe and Maggie soon realized that the building industry had needs to be met outside the continental United States. Builders and developers from other countries have come to find American building products and construction methods to be time-saving, energy-efficient, and cost-effective.
