THE STORY

1970s - Seed Planted

John Medlinger established Superior Hardwoods and Millwork of Montana in the late 1970s. His love for wood began in the upper peninsula of Michigan about 2-3 miles from Lake Superior. That is where John cut and logged hardwoods off of family property and had it sawed into lumber and then shipped to Montana.

1977 - Business begins to Take Root & Grow

In 1977 Superior Hardwoods and Millwork of Montana was founded and became the first wholesale hardwood lumber company to serve the Treasure State. The business continued to grow and develop into a destination for wood enthusiasts. Millwork services were later added to fully complement the existing business and opened up many custom cutting options for our loyal cutomers.

1990 - Superior Hardwoods Thrives

In 1990 John expanded his interests in wood to include antique and reclaimed material. He is truly a pioneer in the reclaimed movement, sparking interest and appreciation for turn-of-the-century building material that formerly had gone unnoticed and often was destroyed. With John’s vision the beams and lumber harvested from these beautiful structures live on. Now Superior Hardwoods and Millwork of Montana is home to 11 acres of this distinct and unique reclaimed materials.

I would like to express my support for John at Superior Hardwoods and Millwork. As an architect for over 20 years that relies on the quality and the unique resource of recycled wood, I have found Superior Hardwoods to be an exceptional vendor. Recycled wood requires an expertise in handling and distribution. Superior Hardwoods has consistently provided us the resources to complete many high end custom homes.
