An American dream come true…
The journey of Lumber Lovin’ began when my beautiful wife commissioned me to build a gate to prevent our puppy from chasing our cat (and vice versa). They both had zero chill to say the least. I had a bunch of extra lumber from gutting and refinishing my step-daughter’s bedroom, so I decided to put my woodworking skills to the test… And I am beyond glad that I did!
As a child and into my young adult years, I absolutely loved building and designing. I also had a strong entrepreneurial spirit. I tried several different business ventures in an attempt to break free from my 9-5 , which I loathed! I was thankful that I had a job that paid the bills, but I was not happy with my dead end career path to say the least.
Though I personally didn’t think the pet gate I made for our home was the most aesthetically pleasing, my wife’s reaction to it sparked a bit of confidence, especially when she said I should try to sell them. I decided to take some amateur photos of our gate and post it for sale on Etsy. That’s when things went crazy! Orders and inquiries starting pouring in! I began practicing different techniques and trying out new designs that customers would pitch to me. All of a sudden I had a product line totally inspired by customer requests. I decided to take on a more aggressive order as I saw my skill set evolving. Barn doors! The review left by that specific customer was incredibly inspiring, so I began to offer sliding barn doors as well.
After 3 years of blood sweat and literal tears, I decided to quit my full time job and have since opened a retail storefront in Feasterville, Pa! My perpetually supportive and hard working wife now works with me part time (part time NICU nurse as well!) and I also brought my incredibly talented brother-in-law, Chris Smith, onboard as full time fabricator and designer. This is my American dream and I am humbled and blessed beyond measure to be living it with my family by my side.
Here at Lumber Lovin, we produce quality products using locally sourced materials with the utmost attention to detail. We refuse to cut corners. Moreover we strive to give the best customer service possible because customer service shouldn’t be a department, it should be the entire company.
