Your Trusted Source for Quality Lumber & Building Materials
Since 1925, Valente Lumber has been a family-owned and operated lumber business rooted in tradition and craftsmanship. Founded by Italian immigrant Antonio Valente in Taborton, New York, our company began with humble tools and a vision to provide quality lumber to local industries. Over four generations, we've evolved from manual logging with horses and axes to utilizing modern equipment while maintaining our commitment to excellence. Today, we serve contractors, wholesalers, and artisans with a diverse range of hardwood and softwood products, including custom millwork and specialty items. Our millshop produces flooring, trim, and molding tailored to meet unique project requirements. With nearly a century of experience, we combine historical expertise with contemporary solutions to support both commercial and individual customers.Our dedication to quality remains unchanged, even as the industry has shifted from hockey stick production to modern construction and furniture-making. We pride ourselves on offering personalized service, leveraging generational knowledge to guide clients through material selection and project planning. Sustainability and resourcefulness drive our operations, from kiln-dried lumber to repurposed barn board applications. As fourth-generation family members continue daily operations, we uphold the values established by our founders while adapting to evolving market needs.

Services
Kiln Drying Service
Our kiln drying service prepares slabs, mantles, and custom projects to precise moisture specifications. Using controlled temperature and humidity, we reduce wood moisture content to prevent warping and cracking. This essential process ensures dimensional stability for furniture, flooring, and architectural elements while maintaining the wood's natural integrity.
Custom Bar Tops
We craft custom bar tops from 2-4 inch thick slabs, available in widths up to 3 feet and lengths reaching 14 feet. Our fabrication includes joining multiple slabs for commercial applications and adding specialized features like cup rail recesses. Each piece combines natural wood beauty with functional durability for residential and commercial spaces.
Barn Board Supply
Our barn board collection features weathered wood with unique patinas and textures. Available in various sizes and shades, these reclaimed materials work for wall paneling, furniture projects, and decorative accents. We offer both raw and ship-lapped options to suit traditional and contemporary design applications while preserving historical character.
Firewood Sales
We provide sustainably sourced hardwood firewood in multiple configurations. Options include kiln-dried and air-dried cords, half-cords, and quarter-cords. Our seasoned firewood ensures efficient burning for residential heating needs. We also offer firewood delivery services with pricing based on order size and distance.
Mill Shop Projects
Our mill shop produces custom flooring, trim, and molding to exact specifications. Capable of creating both traditional and specialty profiles, we serve residential and commercial clients needing precise wood components.
