My name is Sten Iversen, and I recently remodeled our 1908 Downtown Helena home. As part of the remodel I vaulted a ceiling and installed beautiful fir tongue and groove which I bought from Marks Lumber. The yard guys were very helpful in making sure I got choice lumber and any discolored or warped boards were set aside. Our vaulted ceiling is now a showcase feature in our home and it is built from Marks Lumber.

I’ve always been appreciative of having a convenient source for all kinds of specialty “rustic” cut lumber for my log homes, and have been really satisfied with the waney-edge molding and planks, the half-log materials, the rough-sawn fir flooring, and all the various tongue and groove milled lumber Marks Lumber has supplied.
Dave Cogley, Wildwood Log Homes
At Marks Lumber, we purchased all of our flooring (2500 square feet Tongue and Groove fir), all of our trim (1×4 and 1×6 Douglas Fir), our barn siding (1×8 ShipLap Pine), and rough-cut 1×6 and 1×8 fir for the trim, stalls and doors.
All of these products look terrific, and are the types of lumber you can’t get anywhere else.
The owners and staff are great to work with, and the different types of local lumber are neat. It is fun to see all of the possibilities.
Home building is a joy when you have cordial and professional material providers like Marks Lumber, especially when you can buy locally.

Wow – we got ideas on how to board and chink our house. Quality rough-cut materials – always ready.
Steve Allen
We have used a lot of large beams and posts (special order). They were ready when promised and excellent material!
1″x 6″ Tongue and Groove pine is very good, and the service and all the help is great. Keep up the good work and quality!
