SANFORD & HAWLEY INC

Sanford & Hawley is a family-run lumber yard and building-materials supplier that traces back to a February 22, 1884 purchase in Unionville, Connecticut, and says it's still run by the Sanford family — currently Frank, Bob, Ted, and Bobby Sanford. The company operates from four locations across Connecticut and Massachusetts, including this West Springfield store, selling and installing windows, doors, and custom millwork, with field and warranty service. A 2014 newspaper profile of then-president Bob Sanford described the business as a small chain of lumber yards and building-supply shops around Greater Hartford serving mostly contractor customers, run by the fourth generation of Sanfords. A 2018 architecture trade piece credits the company for supplying the doors, windows, and hardware on a Millbrook School construction project, and its owner was quoted in separate 2015 trade-industry coverage. Direct customer feedback on file is thin — just one Google review, from 2022, which called the staff friendly and helpful, praised the stock selection, and described the showroom as clean and organized, while noting some items run a little on the expensive side. This reads like an established regional supplier more than a typical home-services contractor — a solid call for sourcing windows, doors, and millwork with in-house installation, though it's worth asking directly about current pricing before ordering.
