Today, we relive our history, values and memories as we celebrate Father\u2019s Day.<\/p>\n<p>In the early 1950s, Ray VandenHouten Sr. spent his time operating a chicken hatchery. When his chickens succumbed to disease, he and his brother-in-law, Mel Petinoit, used the empty buildings to start Van\u2019s Lumber. Shortly after that Ray VandenHouten Jr. purchased the business. Now, Ray Jr., and his sons Eric, Craig, Kurt and Chris, continue to own and operate from the same property in Dyckesville where Ray Sr. raised chickens. \u201cMost businesses today are now big corporate companies,\u201d says Ray Jr. \u201cWe\u2019re a locally owned company with years of experience\u2014you just don\u2019t see that anymore.\u201d<\/p>\n<p>Ray Jr.\u2019s principles guide the company. \u201cWhen we build a home, we sell the \u201cwhole package\u201d and put careful thought into the products we offer. Our expert crew focuses on framing, siding, finishing and roofing, and have built strong relationships with others in the community. The subcontractors we use\u2014such as Macco&#8217;s, CertainTeed and Trex\u2014have similar core values and expertise as we do, providing quality and excellent work,\u201d says Craig VandenHouten, current president of Van\u2019s.<\/p>\n<p>We\u2019re not just an ordinary lumberyard. Owned and operated by two generations of the VandenHouten family, we are proud to have brought Van\u2019s to where it is today and what we stand for in the construction industry.<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"<p>With over 65 years of experience in custom residential and light commercial construction\u2014and exceptional customer service\u2014we\u2019re proud to continue the tradition of craftsmanship that sets us apart from other builders.
