Curtis Lumber acquires JAY-K Independent Lumber Corp. in New Hartford, NY

Curtis Lumber is excited to announce the acquisition of JAY-K Independent Lumber Corp., located at 8448 Seneca Turnpike in New Hartford, New York.

JAY-K has served its local community for 87 years through three generations. Being family- owned and operated, providing quality products and professional services, makes them a great fit to join the Curtis Lumber team. Curtis Lumber and JAY-K have had a friendly and mutually respectful relationship for years, which will aid in a smooth and successful transition for employees and customers alike.

Kylie Holland, Executive V.P for Curtis Lumber states: “Our Curtis team is looking forward to expanding our business with Jay-K’s well-established foundation. Both companies share similar values with a focus on the employee experience, customer experience, and our commitment to our communities, so we are confident that this acquisition will be very successful.”

The demand for energy efficiency, performance, and resilience has never been higher in the home remodeling and building materials industry.

The inclusion of JAY-K into the Curtis Lumber footprint also allows the Company to make a

strategic consolidation with one of its existing, nearby locations. Curtis’s Waterville, NY location, located just 15 miles south of what will be the New Hartford store, will be closing amidst the acquisition.

“This is a strategic decision to consolidate two stores located in close proximity. This will allow us the opportunity to be more efficient with our inventory, fleet, and our staffing,” says Holland. All employees at the Waterville location will have the opportunity to join the New Hartford store or another Curtis Lumber location if they wish.

The transaction is expected to close on or about February 28th, 2025 with the New Hartford location opening for business as Curtis Lumber the following Monday. The Waterville location is expected to close on April 1, 2025.
