Home Lumber of New Haven, Incorporated

Home Lumber has been a labor of love for the Korte family. The business was originally founded in 1957 as Harlan Lumber by A.D. Delagrange. The company moved from Harlan to New Haven in the early 1960s and became Home Lumber of New Haven Inc. In 1962, John A. Korte became the managing partner, joining Carl Lung and silent owners A.D. Delagrange and Delbert Delagrange. Over time, A.D. and Carl sold their interests. In the mid-80's, John David Korte and Alan Korte became minority owners and took an active role in managing the company. In 1994, Delbert passed away, leaving John A. Korte, and his sons John David and Alan as owners. Today, Home Lumber is owned and operated by Chad Korte and brothers, Eric and Brent Korte.
