Serving Michigan For Over 100 Years

MANS Lumber & Home is a family business that has proudly served the Metro Detroit and surrounding areas since 1900 with a focus on affordability, honesty, expertise, and an unparalleled product selection.

A history of outstanding Service

Since 1900, the Mans family has served the lumber and building material needs of the Metro Detroit and Ann Arbor communities. Nicholas August Mans began selling coal and peat in the Downriver community of Trenton, Michigan. His business quickly expanded throughout Southeast Michigan, eventually including four lumberyards, two kitchen and bath design showrooms, floor coverings, kitchen flooring, a finished carpentry and millwork shop and an installed products division.
