Serving Virginia and North Carolina since 1954, Max Kendall Lumber and Tin has built a reputation for delivering top-quality materials, unmatched service, and the best prices in the region.
What began as a small sawmill more than 60 years ago has grown into one of the area’s largest and most trusted building supply companies. From day one, we have specialized in rough-cut lumber—products that are increasingly rare in today’s market. We also carry a full line of dressed lumber, treated lumber, and treated posts, making us a long-standing supplier for local homeowners, contractors, and farmers.
Over the decades, we have provided hundreds of pole barns to farms across Virginia and North Carolina, helping keep operations protected, dry, and running smoothly. Our customers have supported us for generations, and we take great pride in continuing to support them in return.
In the 1970s, as metal roofing grew in popularity with local farmers, we expanded our product line—and it quickly became one of our strongest. With the rise of painted metal roofing for both agricultural and residential use, our focus on quality and service only grew stronger.
In 2010, we made one of our biggest advancements by building a complete metal roofing manufacturing plant at our Axton, Virginia location. With the ability to roll-form our own metal roofing and produce custom trim, we reduced turnaround times from the industry standard of 1–2 weeks to next-day service—a level of efficiency our competitors still can’t match.
Every sheet of roofing that leaves our plant is 100% American-made and manufactured using the highest-quality paint systems on the market, backed by a 40-year warranty. We also maintain one of the largest inventories of metal roofing and accessories in the United States, ensuring our products—and every matching screw, coil, and trim piece—are ready when our customers need them.
Our commitment to quality and service has fueled continuous growth:
When we shifted from resale to manufacturing in 2010, we reduced our costs by 30% and passed those savings directly to our customers. Today, we remain committed to offering the best price—and we will meet or beat any competitor’s price on metal roofing.
