Fort Worth, TX-based Teague Lumber Company announced in October the company is marking 80 years in business.

“This year, a beloved pillar of the community marks an incredible milestone: Teague Lumber Company is celebrating 80 years of service. From humble beginnings to becoming a cornerstone of construction and home improvement, Teague Lumber Company has not only supplied building materials, but also provided valuable resources, expert advice, and unwavering community support. This anniversary is not just a celebration of the past, but a recognition of the strong foundation the company has built for the future.

A Humble Beginning: 1944
Teague Lumber Company’s journey began in 1944, a time when the world was recovering from the aftermath of World War II. The original founder, R.J. Teague, saw an opportunity to support the growing community with high-quality lumber and building supplies. In those early days, the company was small, operating out of a modest storefront and serving local builders who were tasked with reconstructing homes, schools, and infrastructure. It quickly became known for its reliable products, personalized service, and commitment to the craft.

A Commitment to Quality and Service
One of the key ingredients to Teague Lumber Company’s enduring success has always been its dedication to quality. Whether it was sourcing the best lumber, stocking top-notch tools, or offering guidance on home improvement projects, the company’s focus on craftsmanship and expertise have been driving force behind its success.

Over the years, Teague Lumber Company has seen the rise of new building materials and technologies. The company adapted to these changes, staying on the cutting edge of industry trends, while still maintaining its roots in traditional craftsmanship. That ability to evolve while keeping the personal touch that made the company successful has been a major factor in its longevity.

Perhaps the biggest asset Teague Lumber Company has always had is its people. Many employees have worked there for decades, some for entire careers. Their expertise, dedication, and customer-first attitude have helped make the business a trusted name for both professional builders and DIY homeowners alike. Many customers return not just for the quality products, but for the invaluable advice they receive from seasoned professionals who genuinely care about helping them succeed.

Expanding into the Community
Teague Lumber Company has also played a significant role in supporting the local community. Over the years, the company has sponsored numerous charitable events, community improvement projects, and local schools. From providing materials for public park renovations to sponsoring youth sports leagues, the Lumberyard has been a firm believer in giving back to the community that supported its success.

It has also nurtured a close-knit relationship with local contractors and builders, offering them the tools and materials needed to complete their projects and thrive in their own businesses. The relationships that have been built over the years have created a network of trust that goes beyond just transactions — it’s about building something together.

Looking Ahead: 80 More Years?
As Teague Lumber Company celebrates its 80th anniversary, the company is not resting on its laurels. Leadership is focused on the next 80 years, working to expand its product offerings, build new relationships, and continue fostering a culture of craftsmanship and service. While the industry and community continue to evolve, Teague Lumber Company’s mission remains the same: to provide quality products, expert advice, and a personal touch that customers have come to expect.

As Teague Lumber Company celebrates this incredible milestone, it is clear that the company is more than just a business — it is a part of the community’s history and a trusted partner in building its future. Here’s to the next 80 years of growth, innovation, and continued excellence.”
