NOT YOUR AVERAGE LUMBERYARD

Bearcat Lumber focuses on customers first

Whether it's for a contractor building a house or commercial property or a homeowner completing a project, Bearcat Lumber has what its customers need, the know-how to get the proper materials and the guidance to get the job done right.

Customers can rest assured when they go to Bearcat Lumber that they are getting top-notch products from the people who know the business the best.

“We offer everything you need to build your house except electrical and plumbing,” Bearcat Lumber owner John Nelson said. “We have everything from the roof to the foundation covered and we have a lot of years of experience.

“We won’t advise you if we don’t feel comfortable with it. But we can usually advise you on a large variety of products, how to install something, what to look for and what brands to stay away from. We won’t sell anything that we wouldn’t put in our own houses.”

From Bearcat Lumber’s personal service inside the store, at the lumberyard and all the way to delivery, the customer will receive service and knowledge that one just can’t get from the big box stores.

“That’s our key,” Nelson said. “We’re going to be close in price and we’re going to bring it to your door at no charge and we know what we’re selling.

Everyone here knows what they’re doing and cares about our products.”

One of the exciting features at the business is a custom-designed showroom where customers don’t just envision the finished product, but actually see it.

The display room is a visionary plan Nelson came up with that allows customers to see how shingles, siding and stone look together in a way that shows exactly what the finished product will look like. Blocks of shingles and siding are movable, allowing customers to put together their favorite combination. This mixand-match showroom lets customers know exactly what they are getting.

Bearcat Lumber also has an outdoor display for decking and railing

combinations that features 60 choices of composite decking and multiple railing systems.

And coming soon, Bearcat Lumber is adding a new window building and a large storage building to hold more inventory and sold projects.

In business since May of 2002, Bearcat Lumber is a total package lumberyard that allows customers to know they are in the right place, whatever the project.

“We’re not your average smalltown lumberyard,” Nelson said.

Bearcat Lumber is located at 1929 E. First St. in Maryville and is open from 7:30 a.m. to 5 p.m., Monday through Friday.
