Earning Royal Praise Since 1978

Proud to Serve CALGARY and its surroundings

I’m in Cochrane and I make the drive whenever I can to get lumber here. Prices are fair, quality is the best in town and the staff are very helpful. It always seems to be busy but yet the staff take the time needed to get you what you need. Thanks!

Great service. Best access for large trucks and trailers, awesome products, huge selection, it’s a no brainer.

Mario Falconi

We are pleased to have worked with Lumber King for 30 years. We find the materials sold to be consistently superior to any other lumber yard and they offer a good selection of rough and finish materials in stock and well organized.

Fred Barham

Barham Contracting Ltd.

Excellent customer service and very friendly staff. As women shopping for wood, we have not been taken seriously by other shops in Calgary but the staff at Lumber King are always friendly and very helpful!

Amazing service every time I go. I’m not much of a handyman so they took the time to help me draw up blueprints for my fence and created a list of all the pieces I’d need. There’s always someone in the yard to help load your wood and ensure you’re getting top quality. Already recommended to a few other friends.

Joel Elford

Homeowner

The owner helped me calculate and plan out my sauna. He even suggested better and more affordable ways for me to build. Prices are cheaper than the big hardware stores and quality seems higher as well. I’m glad to have a place like this just down the street.

It began with a fence built in 1975 for the family dog. Neighbours wanted the same lumber for their own properties and Fred Pysh, sensing an opportunity, said he could sell it to them. He borrowed a truck, sold wood from the driveway and his father-in-law soon began calling Fred ‘The Lumber King’ as a wisecrack. For ten years Fred led a double life as Statistics Professor at the University of Calgary and as an entrepreneur. In 1986, Fred forfeited his tenured position for a life in work boots and Lumber King quickly became an integral part of Calgary’s housing and construction industry.

Today, Lumber King is in the hands of Fred’s son, Dan, and is an accredited member of the Better Business Bureau. Dan received his B.A. from the University of Victoria in 2001, planning to work as an economist. But Dan soon sensed that his annual summer job had more to offer in the teachings of economics. Take it from Dan: lumber sales are a harbinger for the nation’s economy.
