Frank E. Wilson Lumber Company, Inc. is a full-service commercial lumber dealer located in Elkins, West Virginia – the heart of the Appalachians. Nestled in West Virginia’s magnificent hardwood belt on the edge of the beautiful Monongahela National Forest, our region’s optimal altitude and moisture is famous for producing some of the finest hardwoods in the world.
Key to the quality of our hardwoods is the quality of our kiln drying process. Before loading our dry kilns, we take extraordinary care in piling and alignment. Then, we control and monitor all aspects of the drying process to ensure the dried stock meets your specifications.
Choose rough-sawn or ready-surfaced lumber to meet your needs. We can surface two sides of the lumber to the thickness you want. Surfacing before shipment is a great way to save money by reducing freight costs and waste. This also means greater efficiency – you get stock ready for cutting upon arrival.
At Frank E. Wilson Lumber Company, Inc., not only do we provide quality hardwood lumber, but we also provide exceptional customer service. Our customers appreciate it – and we’ve been working with some for more than five decades.

Many things have changed around Wilson Lumber over the six generations we’ve been in business – faster shipping, continuously improving quality, a broader range of lumber, and more. But one thing never changes: we do what it takes to please our customers.
For years, we’ve used this advertising line:
“You expect more from Frank E. Wilson Lumber Company. And you get it.”
It’s still true.
“My hardest sale has always been the first one – Once a customer tries our lumber, I never have trouble making the second sale.”
– Jim Wilson
“My father, Jim Wilson, has said that quite a few times over the years. And, I suspect my grandfather Frank and his father said it, as well.
Today, as we have for six generations, we put the customer first. At Frank E. Wilson Lumber Company, we believe in building strong, long-lasting relationships. You can always depend on us for good, old-fashioned value. And you can look to us for new ways to deliver even greater value.”
