Thursday, September 17th, 2015

If you’re building something—whether it’s a new house or that tree house in your back yard that your kids won’t stop asking about—you want it built to last!  With a history of over 125 years, you can be sure that Mackey Lumber Company is a dependable member of the Valdosta community.
 
“We’ve been able to stand the test of time.  Being able to change as our business and area has changed has been important,” said owner Lee Mackey.
 
The Valdosta-based lumber company primarily serves professional builders and re-modelers, and that has driven the success of their business.
 
“They expect a high level of service in sales and delivery that we have been able to provide,” said Mackey.
 
Mackey Lumber Company has not only been around in some shape or form for over 125 years, but they can also boast of a membership with the Chamber that dates back to 1985.
 
“The Chamber is one of the forces that helps this area grow.  To me, the Chamber’s main influence is networking people with common goals,” said Mackey.
