Services
Since our humble beginning in 1930, Scherer Bros. Lumber Co. has grown to offer a great deal more to customers than our founders ever dreamed. We're proud we have become the leading source of building products, services, and industry knowledge for builders in the Twin Cities Area. Scherer Bros. Lumber Co. began during the Great Depression, with logs brought up from the bottom of the Mississippi.
From our early start on the Mississippi River to our current locations across the Twin Cities Area, the hallmark of the Scherer Bros. history is our dedication to quality and service. Even during the struggle of the Great Depression, through World War II, and despite massive changes in the industry, the Scherer family never lost their innovative spirit-a spirit that keeps Scherer Bros. continually growing year after year.
Greetings all: Governor Walz just announced a Shelter-in-Place order effective 11:59pm on Friday for the State of Minnesota. Consistent with other states decrees, construction is deemed a necessary part of the infrastructure and therefore exempt from this order. This means that we are still fully operational as long as our customers have a need for our products and services.
Are you searching for challenge, camaraderie, and opportunity for advancement? Working at Scherer Bros. is more than just a job. It's a culture of excellence, craftsmanship, teamwork, and fun. We're known for providing innovative products and top-notch service-a legacy that wouldn't be possible without investing in the right team.
Our master craftsmen can produce exclusive trim and moulding just for you, in any architectural style. We have enough knives in our library to create well over 4,000 different profiles, and full size samples of each to make choosing the right trim easier. If we don't have what you are looking for, we can custom grind a new knife for your project.

On smaller accounts, lumber pricing is not competitive with big box home improvement retailers. The sales model is sketchy, too. We got an initial quote for framing lumber in late April 2021, when lumber pricing was near the top. We didn't order until mid-July, when pricing was significantly lower. Despite a verbal request, sales kept the April pricing on the order.

Otherwise, sales staff is a mixed bag. Helpful for building and talking through complex orders but difficult to reach and error-prone. One easily avoidable error on a window order set our project back by about 10 days -- and would

I was looking for a specialized product that they ended up not being able to source. But they worked through it with me, consulted colleagues for options, and did what they could to try and help. Great customer service I thought.

I had two old windows rebuilt. The service was fast, done within two days. I needed to repair the window frame on site as well. The employee was extremely helpful with helpful ideas with how I should make the repair and I was able to complete the repair. Very happy.

I needed a window lock for a Marvin window - they sell Marvin windows. The people at the counter are clueless / idiots. Told me to go somewhere else (Alto). So I went to Alto - they told me that they can't get Marvin parts - it was just a way to get rid of me, nicely.

Later, on the Internet, I found a Marvin parts list, with the mechanical drawings, and part numbers.
