Harold C. Anderson Lumber – A quality, local lumber yard & mill, providing the building supplies that built our homes since 1908.

Meet Anderson Lumber.

A full-service, old-fashioned, family-owned lumberyard & millwork firm that takes pride in the products and services they offer, since 1908. 

Conveniently located on 49th St. in Gulfport, Anderson Lumber has been providing quality building materials and unmatched customer service to the St. Petersburg community for decades. If you are planning some home improvements, a remodel or building a brand new home or structure, they have generations of experience and knowledge to share. If it comes from a tree, you can confidently find what you need to complete your projects, whether you are trying to build a new staircase, boat dock, coffee table, door or even a deck for your trailer. 

For weekend home improvements, do-it-yourselfers, building contractors, builders, carpenters and more, they carry all of the hard to find exotic woods, reclaimed wood, moldings, trim and much more.

They can make your custom vision come true and will help you every step of the way. Update your home with the millwork lumber experts of St. Petersburg and let them customize a counter top, molding, doors, windows and more. They can even put a live edge on century-old oak harvested from the Ford & Edison estates or repurposed in 2015 from the historic Belleview Biltmore Hotel.

Anderson Lumber of St Petersburg carries a full line of lumber and wood products for everyone from the do-it-yourselfer to the building professional. Their lumber comes in a wide range of sizes, including those hard to find. They take pride in the lumber they stock and their unmatched customer service. I found that out recently when I was restoring some rotted wood in soffits and fascia. I could not find 8 inch wide tongue-n-groove cedar anywhere. Anderson had a few pieces on the shelf up to 16 ft. long. They were almost apologetic about prices, which I thought were reasonable.

They invite all St. Petersburg, Gulfport and Pinellas homeowners, architects, designers and contractors to check out their site, or stop in to their lumber mill in beautiful Gulfport to see what an incredible supply of REAL WOOD there is in the neighborhood.

Anderson Lumber stocks 26 varieties of natural domestic woods, plus special plywood that is ready to stand up the demands of our tropical marine climate. You’ll have their help in finding just the right quality and type of wood you need to stand up to the duties and requirements that it needs to. Marine lumber is special plywood designed for use on floors, railings, and walls and can withstand wet conditions. Marine Plywood is in stock for • Gunnels • Floors  • Deck Railings  • Walls • A.B. Fir Marine Plywood • Marinetech, Teak &  Teak/Holly Plywood and can be cut to fit.

Visit or call to find what you need for your next project.  Just north of the Pinellas Trail on 49th St. between 5th and 7th Ave S., for over 100 years.
