At Cummings Lumber Company, our foundation is built on two things: top-tier quality and a deeply rooted family legacy. Today, we are incredibly proud to celebrate a major milestone for the man who keeps that tradition moving forward. Our President, Scott Cummings, is officially marking 33 years of dedication to the company!

As the founder’s great-grandson, Scott took the helm as President in 2014. For more than three decades, his vision has ensured that our four-generation commitment to providing customers with unmatched service and premier lumber products remains stronger than ever.

Resilience, Community, and Good BBQ

This month also brings us to the two-year anniversary of the 2024 mill fire. To honor how far the company has come since that challenging time, and to show his appreciation for the hard work of his team, Scott recently treated all employees to a spectacular, catered BBQ lunch. It was a wonderful opportunity for the Cummings Lumber family to gather, connect, and look toward a bright future.

A Heartfelt Thank You From the Employees

An organization is only as strong as its leadership, and on behalf of all the employees at Cummings Lumber, we want to extend our deepest gratitude to Scott.

Thank you, Scott, for your steadfast guidance, your generosity, and your unique ability to lead us through both the good times and the bad. Your dedication not only preserves our family history but inspires all of us to keep delivering the quality our customers rely on.

Here is to 33 years of excellence, and many more to come!

Please join us in recognizing Brandon Bass-Batten for reaching his 1-year milestone with the Barefoot Flooring team!

Prior to joining us, Brandon spent 4 years working at the Cummings Lumber Company sawmill, bringing valuable industry experience to our operation. We appreciate the time and effort he puts in each day on the floor.

Thank you for your year of service, Brandon!

Big congratulations to Pauline Brown on celebrating 1 year back with us! Combined with her previous year of employment, Pauline has given 2 years of dedicated service to the Barefoot Flooring plant.

Our solid hardwood flooring wouldn’t be the same without her hard work and commitment. Thank you, Pauline, for being such a vital part of our team!

As the final weekend of May arrives, it’s easy to get caught up in the excitement of a long weekend. For many, it marks the unofficial start of summer, a time for backyard barbecues, family gatherings, and enjoying the warmer weather.

But at Cummings Lumber, Barefoot Flooring, and Barefoot Pellet Company, we believe it is deeply important to look beyond the festivities and focus on the true purpose of this sacred holiday.

Memorial Day is not just a day off; it is a day of solemn remembrance. It is a time dedicated to honoring the brave men and women of our armed forces who made the ultimate sacrifice in service to our country. Every freedom we enjoy today—from the safety of our communities to the ability to gather freely with our loved ones—was paid for by their selflessness and courage.

Our hearts, thoughts, and deepest gratitude are with the Gold Star families who carry the heavy legacy of their loved ones’ sacrifice every single day. We owe them a debt of honor that can never truly be repaid, but can be humbly acknowledged through our remembrance.

Holiday Notice: We Will Be Closed

To allow our employees the time to properly observe this day of reflection and spend meaningful time with their families, all of our facilities will be closed on Monday, May 25th, 2026.

We will resume regular business hours on Tuesday, May 26th.

How We Can Observe Together

As we enjoy the freedoms of this weekend, we invite our community, customers, and partners to join us in taking a moment of silence to remember the fallen. Whether you visit a local memorial, fly the American flag, or simply pause to reflect, let us ensure that the legacies of our nation’s heroes are never forgotten.

On behalf of everyone at Cummings Lumber, Barefoot Flooring, and Barefoot Pellet Company, we wish you and your family a safe, peaceful, and deeply meaningful Memorial Day.

At Barefoot Flooring, delivering premium hardwood to our customers requires a dedicated team working behind the scenes. Today, we are proud to celebrate a great milestone: Nate Hall’s one-year anniversary as our Warehouse Coordinator!
