TRINITY LUMBER & BUILDING SUPPLY, INC.

Weaverville, CA

Trinity Lumber & Building Supply originally began in 1955 with the purchase of Hanlon Lumber, a Weaverville planing mill adjacent to a concrete batch plant and a sand & gravel business, also part of the company.

Owners Hal Goodyear and Bob Marshall operated the business successfully for the next 12 years, taking advantage of expansion in the Weaverville area along with the added boost to the local economy from the construction of Trinity Dam and accompanying infrastructure. Marshall retired from the company in 1969.

The historic mining community of Weaverville, dating from the early 1850s, has had its economic ups and downs over the years, with the Trinity Dam construction adding to the logging, sawmills and tourism of the area. Today, wood products and tourism remain the mainstays of the area.

In 1982, Gene Goodyear purchased the business.

The first remodeling of the store and lumberyard was done in the 1980s, with a four-level 3,500 foot store to complement the lumberyard. Modernization, and addition of products and services needed in a small community made Trinity Lumber a critical part of the area. In 1996 the business became part of the Do It Best cooperative.

By 2009, additional improvements were added to the lumberyard, old buildings replaced and the hardware store was remodeled once again, a project completed in 2012.

Merritt Goodyear, the third generation of the family in the company, became owner of the business, after having a long training experience beginning at about the age of nine when he helped in the store and even operated forklifts, and later worked as a truck driver when he was old enough to obtain the necessary license.

Today, Trinity Lumber & Building Supply remains an important and essential business, conveniently located in downtown Weaverville.
