“Quality is at the core of our brand promise
and we are proud of the reputation we have
in the industry.”
Since 1904, when George Gutchess founded the first
sawmill on a small farm in upstate New York, Gutchess
Lumber has been a leading manufacturer of premium
northern hardwood lumber used in such applications
as furniture, flooring, cabinetry, doors, and architectural
millwork. We have since prided ourselves on our
company’s commitment to quality in all that we do.
Quality is at the core of our brand promise and we are
proud of the reputation we have in the industry.
Our central location in the very heart of the premium
growth area for northern hardwoods has been instrumental
to our success, as has been unwavering focus on our goal
to produce the finest quality hardwood lumber available.
Over 400 dedicated Gutchess Lumber employees—participants in an employee stock ownership plan--drive this
goal every day; among our employees are children and
grandchildren of employees who began careers here
many decades ago.
Today we are a global provider of Hard Maple, Red Oak,
White Ash, Black Cherry, Red Maple, White Oak, Poplar,
Black Walnut, Hickory, and Basswood. Our company
offers Forest Stewardship Council (FSC) certified lumber
in a number of species. We have seven locations operating
in the New York and Pennsylvania areas with over five
million feet of kiln drying capacity and three sawmills
producing more than 80 million feet annually.
We have stood behind our product for more than one
hundred years and we are steadfast in our commitment
to continue to do so. We welcome the opportunity to put
our experience and expertise to work for you. Thank you
for considering Gutchess Lumber for your hardwood
lumber needs. For more information,
visit gutchess .com or call
(607) 753-3393.
At Gutchess Lumber we practice a system of crop rotation
which enables the harvesting of woodlots over sustainable
15 year cycles. Our company has practiced sustainable
forestry consistently and long before this phrase was
first coined. Today more hardwood forest exists in
New York State than existed at the time my great-great
grandfather founded the company.
Best regards,
Matthew Gutchess

I must take this opportunity to
commend Gutchess Lumber on the
quality people you have on staff.
The crew did a superb job every step of
the way. Working with people like you
have at Gutchess makes my job
quite enjoyable.

PRIZED SELECTION

SUPERB SERVICE
Our 400+ employee owners are key to our
success and our steadfast commitment

SUPERIOR QUALITY
Our focus is on producing the highest quality
hardwood lumber from the northern region
of the United States.
100+ YEARS OF EXPERTISE
We have stood behind our product for
more than a century, and are committed
to continue to do so.

We have several vendors that hit
some or most of the requirements that
we look for, but I don’t believe anyone
covers all of them like Gutchess. Service,
tally, pricing, value, and dependability
are hard to get to work in a rhythm.
Gutchess is doing it well.
