Gilbertsville – Small town quality, service and family values are still alive and flourishing in this age of ‘bigger is better’ as is evident by the continuing prosperity of A.D. Moyer Lumber’s Gilbertsville, Pottstown, and Douglassville locations.
Founded in Gilbertsville in 1939 by the late Amandus D. Moyer, A.D. Moyer Lumber built it’s success and reputation on having top quality products in stock when they are needed and by employing and training experts in the building materials industry. In fact, the average tenure served by the current staff is 17 years each. Customers dealing here can expect to get their questions answered correctly and get the right products for their project the first time.
According to company officials, more than 90% of their business is done with the professional builder, remodeler, and developer. Sitting outside of any of their stores for a short period of time one will witness their fleet of delivery trucks departing fully loaded with building materials to supply the tri-county area and beyond only to return for another run.
A.D. Moyer’s experienced sales team is not just confined to the store counters, as some would believe. Many of their business deals are struck on the job site or over lunch by their experienced team of road salesmen. Many of their largest customers, in fact, never step foot inside of A.D. Moyer’s brick faced building supply centers. The road sales team works closely with the inside sales staff, management, and estimating staff logging hundreds of miles each week to make certain that each customer’s needs are satisfied.
A.D. Moyer’s focus on the professional builder also gives the do-it-yourselfer who deals there a distinct advantage. In order to be a leader in the demanding professional builder trade year after year, the quality of product and service must always be top notch. Weekend warriors doing their own projects can prosper from this wealth of knowledge and quality of product as well as free delivery from one of the few remaining companies to offer the service. Deck, garage, and kitchen design are just a few of the many services that are offered to assist those constructing their own projects. Those not comfortable installing some of the items purchased can also call on A.D. Moyer’s installation team to complete the task.
One of the most popular projects among do-it-yourselfers is building a deck. A.D. Moyer is one of the largest decking suppliers in the area stocking premium Madison pressure treated decking and railing, western red cedar decking and railing, four colors of Trex composite decking and railing, CorrectDeck composite decking, Timbertech composite decking, and Endurance vinyl railing among others. Several other varieties of decking and railing are available in only days from their suppliers.
Having an experienced staff on hand and access to dozens of wholesale suppliers also makes specialties one of A.D. Moyer’s specialties. Thousands of special order and custom items are only a phone call away for a staff that is experienced in helping you choose the right item for your application. Many specialty items are also manufactured in A.D. Moyer’s custom millwork shop housed at the Gilbertsville location.
Another service that has grown in popularity in recent years is the company’s website. Built and hosted by Boyertown’s Media Fusion Technologies, admoyer.com boasts Gigs of information handsomely organized and readily available 24 hours a day. Builders who do most of their estimating at night and on weekends when the stores are closed find this information particularly useful. Others can also find loads of information about products, services, and employment as well as one of the most extensive online builder-referral lists available for the area.
A.D. Moyer currently employs more than 90 part-time and full-time staff members and continues to be a generous contributor to area benefits, charities and scholastic endeavors.
