At Hammond Lumber Company, delivering great service starts with a knowledgeable team. Recently, our sales professionals from across Maine and New Hampshire came together for a company-wide training event focused on product education, system solutions, and real-world jobsite applications.
The goal was simple: ensure our team stays up to date on the building materials, technologies, and best practices that help builders, contractors, and homeowners complete projects with confidence.
Training with Trusted Building Product Partners
Our sales team received hands-on training and product updates from several of our long-standing manufacturing partners, covering key product categories used every day on residential and commercial projects.
Training topics included:
- Engineered wood products and structural systems
- Decking and railing solutions designed for outdoor performance
- Siding, stone, and exterior finish options
- Windows, doors, and house wrap/vapor protection
- Truss manufacturing, framing coordination, and jobsite logistics
By learning directly from manufacturers such as James Hardie, Trex, Mathews Brothers, Benjamin Obdyke, and Atlas Structural Systems, our team gains deeper insight into how products perform—especially in New England’s demanding climate.
Why Ongoing Training Matters
In addition to vendor education, our teams reviewed how Hammond Lumber Company’s internal departments work together to support projects from quote to completion. This collaboration helps ensure:
- Accurate product recommendations
- Clear expectations and smoother ordering
- Efficient coordination between sales, suppliers, and service teams
Ongoing training allows us to better support complex builds, avoid costly mistakes, and deliver a more seamless customer experience.
