Carter Lumber Opens New Location in South Carolina

Carter Lumber has announced the opening of a new full-service lumberyard in Columbia, SC, marking another step in the company’s steady expansion and continued investment in growing southern markets. Located at 1325 Veterans Road, this new facility enables Carter Lumber to provide a comprehensive range of products and services to professional home builders in the greater Columbia metropolitan area. 

The Columbia location will serve as an extension of the company’s Charlotte and Triad, NC markets, operating under the same management team headed by Market Vice President Brandon Kujawski. 

“Carter Lumber has serviced builders in Columbia for years from our Charlotte Market, but this new location will allow us to finally provide the complete package, from products to service, for those builders and many more,” Kujawski said. “We strive to provide the best service in this industry, and we’re excited to prove that to home builders in Columbia.” 

Gareth Rumley, a Columbia native and graduate of the University of South Carolina, has recently joined the company as the general manager of the new lumberyard. Gareth and the management team are currently interviewing for operations and sales positions to build an industry-leading team for the market. 

The Columbia Carter Lumber will be full-service, stocking a complete range of lumber and millwork products, as well as windows, interior and exterior doors, engineered wood products, cement siding, structural hardware, and much more. To round out critical services for builders, the company will offer full estimating and design solutions for roof and floor trusses, wall panels, engineered wood floor systems, and cabinetry. With included on-site management, the Columbia location will also offer turnkey installation services for framing, windows, cement siding, cabinets, doors, and interior trim.
