About Us
Serving the Building Community Since 1962
Starting out as a small lumber yard in Avon, Minnesota, Lumber One has become a premier builder and supplier for home builders and developers throughout the State of Minnesota. From it modest beginnings, Lumber One prospered under the leadership of Terry Schmid. After purchasing Avon Lumber Yard in 1962, Mr. Schmid expanded the company by purchasing the Cold Spring Lumber Yard in 1967. In 1987, both companies changed their names to what they are today: Lumber One, Avon Inc and Lumber One, Cold Spring Inc.
Now under the leadership of Terry's daughter, Barb Brandes, and son, Ted Schmid, Lumber One is known for their expertise in several areas of construction including: new home construction, general contracting multi-family residential projects, large and small scale remodeling and commercial construction.
