About Us: Our History

For over 60 years, Valley Fir has been a trusted name in premium lumber, millwork, and custom woodworking solutions in the Columbus, Georgia area. Our journey began when George Wilder Mitchell, Sr. recognized the need for high-quality lumber and established our company in Hurtsboro, Alabama. Within a year, we relocated to Columbus to meet the growing demand.

The family tradition of excellence continued when George W. Mitchell Jr. took over leadership, followed by George W. Mitchell III (Tripp) in 1992. Today, Tripp and his sister, Jeanie Mitchell McDonald, continue to uphold Valley Fir’s reputation for quality, expertise, and superior customer service.

About Us: Our History

In 2003, we expanded our capabilities with the launch of a full-service millwork shop, equipped with two moulders and advanced woodworking machinery. This allows us to produce custom moulding profiles, high-end shutters, and specialty wood products for builders, contractors, and homeowners.

A major milestone came in 2018, when we moved into a state-of-the-art facility featuring a drive-thru lumberyard and a modern retail showroom

About Us: Our History

This expansion allowed us to enhance the customer experience by providing a more efficient, convenient, and comprehensive selection of materials. Our new location now offers not only premium lumber and millwork but also tools, hardware, and other essential building supplies—giving homebuilders, DIYers, and contractors everything they need, all in one place.

At Valley Fir, we don’t just sell wood—we provide solutions. Whether you need specialty lumber, custom-cut millwork, or expert project guidance, we’re here to help.
