Lumber Liquidators (NYSE: LL) began in 1993 when Tom Sullivan, a building contractor, began purchasing excess wood that other companies didn't need and reselling it from the back of a trucking yard in Stoughton, Massachusetts. The company found its niche market in hardwood flooring. The first store opened on January 5, 1996 in West Roxbury, Massachusetts selling 150 sq ft of flooring the first day. Eight months later, a second store opened in Hartford, Connecticut and from there the increase continued.
The company moved headquarters from Boston to Colonial Heights, Virginia in 1999. By 2004 the company was bursting at the seams and moved headquarters to its current location, a 306,000 sq ft production center in Toano, Virginia. Over the past 20 years the company has grown steadily, with stores in 46 states and over 1000 employees. Lumber Liquidators has hundreds of locations in the US and Canada and continues to expand throughout North America.
Lumber Liquidators prides itself on having one of the largest inventories of prefinished and unfinished hardwood floors in the industry. There are flooring experts in every store ready to help, and free samples are available. Lumber Liquidators carries solid and engineered hardwood, laminate flooring, bamboo flooring, cork flooring, vinyl flooring, wood-look tile flooring, butcher blocks, moldings, accessories and tools.
Lumber Liquidators negotiates directly with the mills, eliminating the middleman and passing the savings on to the customers. The environmentally conscientious company only purchases from suppliers who practice sustainable harvesting, which allows forests to heal and re-grow faster. Everything Lumber Liquidators sells (unless specified otherwise) is first-quality, graded to industry specifications, and available in standard flooring lengths.

Mission:
We are leaders in providing artisan-quality bamboo homes and innovative durable building products made from the most rapidly renewable resource on the planet.
About us:
Bamboo Living Homes are the first and only code certified permit-able bamboo structures in the world. Since 1995, we have proudly designed and permitted more than 350 bamboo homes in the Hawaiian Islands and other beautiful locations in the world.
History:
During a walk through the bamboo forest on Maui in 1994, our founder Jeffree Trudeau experienced an epiphany. He understood that it was time to make his vision of “a better way to build” a reality. Shortly after his resolve, he met Co-founder, Architect David Sands, and together they began to co-create the first certified and permitted bamboo homes in the Western World. The first prototype, built in 1996, was a bamboo cottage designed for Kutira Decosterd, at Kahua O’Mali’o Maui Bamboo Farm Retreat. The cottage, or "Bamboo Temple", is still used as guest accommodations today.
Bamboo Living Homes are an imaginative and bold solution to the tremendous impact caused by conventional building practices. Every bamboo home that goes into production saves about 10 acres of forest from being cut down. To date, there are more than 350 homes in the Hawaiian Islands and other locations in the world.
The enduring quality and structural integrity of bamboo is a testament to the combined skills and genius of Jeffree and David. Bamboo Living Homes are still the only international building code certified, permit-able bamboo structures in the world.
We invite you to join the growing family of bamboo homeowners and be a part of a truly grassroots movement.
