In a powerful show of gratitude this May, 84 Lumber is doubling its in-store discount for military veterans, active-duty service members, and first responders to 20 percent off merchandise for the month of May at all locations across the country. The expanded offer, part of the company’s broader Operation Appreciation program, is one of several ways the nation’s largest privately held building materials supplier is recognizing those who serve during Military Appreciation Month. “This year marks the 10th anniversary of Operation Appreciation, and we’re incredibly proud of how this initiative has grown into a meaningful expression of our gratitude for those who serve,” said Amy Smiley, vice president of marketing at 84 Lumber. “From expanded discounts and national partnerships to spotlighting veteran-owned businesses and supporting our own veteran associates, we remain committed to honoring the sacrifices of service members and their families — not just during Military Appreciation Month, but all year long.” The 20 percent discount, which doubles the company’s usual offer, reflects 84 Lumber’s continued commitment to supporting those in uniform through career opportunities, national partnerships, and community recognition.

In honor of Women in Construction (WIC) Week, March 2-8, 2025, 84 Lumber proudly recognizes the contributions of women in the construction industry. As a nationwide leader in the building materials sector, 84 Lumber remains committed to empowering women and fostering opportunities for them to thrive in the industry. 84 Lumber is also a certified national women's business enterprise owned by Maggie Hardy. This year, 84 Lumber is highlighting the stories of three remarkable women who have built successful careers across the many corners of the construction industry: Wendy Odom, Jessica Ryan, and Malori Raison. A dynamic saleswoman, business owner, and creative customer service manager, they each highlight the array of roles available to women in the industry. Their experiences shed light on the challenges, opportunities, and rewards of being a woman in a traditionally male-dominated field.
In a male-dominated industry where the term “blue-collar” often suggests hard hats and heavy machinery, Candace Klein is rewriting the script. As president of Klein Contracting Corporation, one of the few certified woman-owned commercial roofing companies in the United States, Klein isn’t just climbing the ladder—she’s bulldozing barriers and reshaping the future of construction. Through a combination of grit, vision, innovative thinking, and strong partners like 84 Lumber, Klein has carved out a space in the male-dominated world of roofing, all while leading one of the Southeast’s most respected firms.
