ABOUT US
FOUR GENERATIONS OF FAMILY OWNERSHIP
Ona Love Bolyard's entrepreneurial spirit sparked in 1937 when he opened Bolyard Lumber & Design by purchasing concrete-formed lumber from the Sears department store construction site in Highland Park, Michigan. Each piece of lumber required meticulous cleaning before Ona could sell it from his home garage. With dedication and hard work, Ona transformed his vision into reality by opening the first Bolyard Lumber storefront in Hazel Park, expanding the offerings to include lumber, paint, hardware, windows, and trim.
In 1946, Ona's son Dale joined the family business, eventually becoming President of Bolyard Lumber & Design. He led the company until 1997, when he passed the leadership to his son, Jake.
Today, Bolyard Lumber & Design is in its fourth generation, with Jake Bolyard, his children, and nephews continuing the family legacy. They operate three storefronts, adhering to the same principles Ona Love Bolyard established over 80 years ago: a commitment to providing customers with the best service, quality, and value in the industry.
