Services
Kruse Lumber was founded in 1915 by Henry Johannes (H.J.) Kruse and was originally called Kruse Lumber and Coal. H.J. worked for a lumberyard in Preston, IA from 1906 to early 1915 when he left to take care of his sick wife, Evalena (Eva). While walking from the train station to their boarding house Eva commented, "I would not mind living in a place like this."
Kruse Lumber has been locally owned and involved with our community for over 100 years. Check out our History page for some interesting pictures and stories from our early days in Rochester, MN. We are very proud of our gorgeous showroom. Please visit Our Showroom page or the eShowroom for a gallery of pictures.
In 2013 a group of lumbermen from around the country visited our showroom with the intent to give us constructive criticism and suggestions on how to improve it. They were "blown away" by the size and beauty of it. There were no negative comments-not one. Needless to say, we were very proud and remain proud of this service we are able to offer our customers.
From locks to lumber, Kruse has what you're looking for in building materials. We cater to your building essentials while providing professional-grade products and services to builders, developers and contractors as well as homeowners throughout Rochester, MN and surrounding areas. Our unsurpassed product quality, personal attention and courteous service have made us the demonstrated choice in our community.
We know that adding new windows is a great investment in any home. Windows can account for 20% to 25% of the total heat loss and 45% or more of the building's designed cooling load in a typical house. With windows, you have eight or more basic frame types, six or seven glass options, and different warm-edge technologies, not to mention argon and krypton gas fills.

2x4x8s - $4.00 Quote 10/1/21
Looking to do a fence build was trying to do honest price comparison between the local suppliers and I'm nocking a star off for not listing prices online. We live in 2021 its not hard to at least list ballpark prices for common items (2x4x8s).

We love these guys. They supplied quite a bit with our home build in 2009 and we used them now 2021 for some updates on trim work. Clear communication and fast work. Wonderful employees and service. Thanks so much! You are appreciated.

Kruse helped build our house 30 years ago providing quality materials and draftsmen. Today, when I had a question about one of our windows, they are still providing excellent advice and quality products. They have the reputation of being the best lumber company in the area.

Kruse Lumber has quality building materials and lumber. Their friendly staff makes you feel welcomed when you walk in the door. Being family owned and operated in Rochester for over 100 years makes it a more personal experience than some other national chains. I highly recommend Kruse Lumber for any building or renovations.
