Continuing a Legacy of Integrity

Since 2021, Latvala Lumber has continued to grow while honoring its family-founded roots. Our sister company, Paramount Granite Company in St. Michael, fabricates and installs custom stone countertops. In 2024, Paramount opened the Paramount Design Center—a full-service showroom where customers can explore materials and design options in one place, making the building process more connected and straightforward.

Our history

Supplying quality you can build on

Latvala Lumber was founded in 1980 by the Latvala family on Minnesota’s Iron Range. Built on hard work and strong family values, the business quickly earned a reputation for quality materials and honest service — principles that remain at the heart of everything we do today.
