Ritenour Lumber Company - Lumberyard & mill, building - Melcroft, PA

A Look Back in Time

William D. Ritenour and his wife, Ida, founded Ritenour Lumber in 1960. They started with a saw mill then added dry kilns in 1979, and a moulding shop in 1991.

His son, Paul became president in 1993 after 20 years of service. He and his brothers operated the business until May 2002 when Paul purchased the operation.

Paul now concentrates on producing hardwood flooring, tongue-and-groove paneling, casing, baseboard, log siding, stair treads/railing, and custom mouldings. He also provides dry kiln services and sells rough-cut lumber. He added a catalog and showroom in 2003 and offers free sample pieces of his products.

Ritenour Lumber provides products to homeowners, contractors, and local schools.

This is a brief glimpse into the history of our lumberyard and mill. Of course there is much more to the story, just like there is more to your personal story. We understand that each individual has specific needs and desires, and we work hard to see to it that those needs are met. You will never walk away feeling cheated, neglected, or like you needed more than you got, that's the way we do things at Ritenour Lumber Company!
