Herbert Lumber:
The Very Best Materials and Customer Service
by Kate Sanchez
Herbert Lumber has been a family-owned and operated business in Portales since 1973, and still today, they continue to strive for customer satisfaction and to bring the very best of quality items to the consumer.
When it comes to home improvements, construction needs, or some specialized treatments on your home, Kenny and Janet Herbert are sure to have what you need for the job. They carry products like construction lumber, plywood, hardwood, western red cedar, drywall, concrete mix, sheetrock, stucco, roofing materials, and insulation. Additionally, they specialize in providing services such as high-end window and door orders. Janet says construction lumber and the specialized door and window orders, as well as roofing materials, are some of the company’s most sought-after items.
In addition to their extensive variety of products for sale, Herbert Lumber offers some outstanding money-saving options for their customers. Today, and everyday since 1973, they have offered free delivery on their items. They also cut lumber at no charge and make straight-like cuts, therefore not charging on a per-cut basis. Along with these great customer perks, the company is unique in being able to order specialty hardwoods like Red Oak, Burch, Poplar, and Aromatic Cedar, just to name a few. This is an especially nice perk for locals because the company has special ordering capabilities and people around the area don’t have to travel several hours to find these items.
Janet shares that their competitive pricing along with excellent customer service and knowledgeable staff makes Herbert Lumber a truly special local company. With a total of eight employees including themselves, the Herberts are proud of their staff who Janet says, “go above and beyond their job.” She shares, for example, that their employees really cater to the handyman who may come in and not be sure of what they’re needing, all the while doing larger tasks like going out on jobs and measuring doors and windows free of charge for customers.

Ken, Janet, and their employees were a great help in building our house. They went out of their way to explain or show us items I (not Jerry so much) didn’t understand.
