Today, Dain’s offers virtually every building product available on three acres of and in the 30,000 square foot warehouse and 5,000 square foot showroom and 2,000 square foot deck showplace. A more recent addition to the facility is a sawmill and millwork division. 

Presently, Jeffrey Dain, great-great grandson of founder Nathaniel, operates Dain’s along with the dedicated staff which possesses over 75 years of combined experience. Dain’s continues to serve the needs of homeowners and contractors as it has done since the 1800s by carrying quality products, providing exceptional service and offering expert advice.
