Dropped by this place on a Monday afternoon after doing a google search for lumber yards that carry timbers (very larges piece of wood, bigger than 2" x 8" x 10'). The location very easy to find and the yard seems large (although I didn't go back into it) When I walked in, I walked through the store (fairly small...but to be fair, it is a lumber yard) and then went to the counter. One of the guys that worked there (his name was Mike) came over and we spoke about the home renovation project that I had in mind (using a large piece of timber, cut into 4' pieces, strapped together with iron...to make a rustic looking mantle for a 3 sided fireplace). Mike was patient with us and answered all our questions (difference in types of woods, cuts, etc). I settled on a 12' piece of Douglas Fir that they would cut into 3 pieces measuring 4' each. Mike then asked if we wanted the wood planed, which means it would come smooth with flat tops, etc. As I was going for a rustic look, I opted for a rough cut. The next day, Mike called and explained that they had a piece of timber available that still had some bark on it. He remembered that I was going for a rustic look and thought that it might be an option that I might be interested in. Very impressed that a) he remembered my project; and b) that he thought enough to call to see if its a look I'd want for by fireplace. While it took a little longer to get my timber than I was originally told, it was worth the wait. The pieces provided to me are gorgeous and will be perfect for my project. read more

I went into Hanford Lumber, the Thursday before the Labour Day Weekend. I asked for a piece of wood 4inch X 10 inch by 5 feet. They told me that they had an 8 foot piece that I could get cut to 5 feet. They asked me if I wanted it 'dressed'. I showed them a picture of a sophisticated fireplace that I was having built in my home (not cottage) so I wanted it to be finished. They showed me a rough piece of wood and then showed me the smooth sanded and stained material that had been 'dressed'. I paid $69.52 for the piece of wood and $85 to have it dressed. When I picked it up, they loaded it into my car and when I got home my contractor said that it was terrible. There was one inch broken off a corner, the top was rough patches, and the ends were all chewed up. When I called to complain they said basically "Too bad". We use a chain daw to cut the wood, you'll need to cut it yourself if you want a smooth cut. In other words, the $85 charge did not in any way make it more usable as a nice piece of wood for my mantle. As it is, it is not usable. I was EXTREMELY disappointed in the misrepresentation of "dressed" wood. I would never have bothered with the additional cost. At total cost of $174.61 I feel totally ripped off. I would suggest that everyone find a BETTER product and service provider. Central Fairbank comes to mind. I also got wood from them and they were amazing! read more

History

Established in 1955.

In 1955, Clair Hanford Price founded a lumber company in Toronto called Hanford Lumber. Mr. Price's passion for the lumber industry was rooted in his upbringing in New Brunswick, where his large family played an active role in the lumber business. They opened a yard in Montreal and then expanded in Ontario where they established six other lumber yards in Toronto, Hamilton, Whitby, Scarborough, London and Oshawa. The family also owned a logging mill in Haliburton, Ontario. A few years later, Mr. Price opened a lumber yard at 45 Bethridge Road in Toronto, which he called Hanford Lumber. Most notably, his company supplied timber and lumber for the construction of Toronto's very first subway system on Yonge street. Today, Mr. Price's granddaughter runs the company according to the original vision of her grandfather: supplying timber, lumber, plywood, and other building materials to a diverse customer base across Southern Ontario and beyond.
