Gates offers so much more than lumber. Here, you have access to experts on all things woodwork.

Services
Work with Gates experts to make the choice that fits your project and budget best. Pick from top-quality stock windows or go with a custom design created just for you in our Design Center right here in Memphis. We can also guide you through more complex projects like choosing storm windows, repairing or replacing damaged windows, or finding the best options for tricky spaces like bathrooms.
Hand-crafted wood elements like mantels, doors, and columns create a custom look that reflects your personal style. And entryways and stairways take on a polished feeling when they're accentuated with one-of-a-kind pieces or custom wood paneling. Choose from a wide variety of domestic and imported hardwood and softwood lumber. It's in stock and ready to go, so your design options are almost endless.
Exterior doors need to protect your home and project quality. Interior doors need to provide privacy and match your design tastes. Maybe you're looking for the latest style, like farmhouse, barn, or craftsman-style doors. Or you're focused on the functional, like metal, security, or storm doors. Whatever your goal, when you work with us, you can choose from a huge variety of door types, designs, and materials that marry form and function.
Adding trim, whether it's crown moulding, chair rail, baseboard, or window trim, gives a space a finished feeling, from floor to ceiling. We can replicate existing patterns and styles for historic homes and buildings or create something brand new just for your project. You can choose from hundreds of existing patterns or have custom trim moulding and millwork made onsite. Your options are limited only by your imagination.

I ordered a pocket door from this establishment in January of 2021 I was told it would take 3 weeks after several calls today I was told by Mr.jacob nabors that my door was complete and ready to be picked up. I drove from forest hill irene and 385 to have just a frame loaded on my truck, when I asked about the slab I was directed into the office where I was told the door didn't come in it would be another3 weeks so I requested a refund then I was told that I would only be refunded 109.00 of 310.00 for a mistake that was made by gates lumber and confirmed by Mr.jacob.

After dealing with a very nasty attitude from Mr.jacob I will not be doing business with gates and I recommend everyone else to check other lumber companies before you use gates

Don't judge a book by its cover - outside this place looked a bit "humble", but they have a beautiful showroom and had trim in stock that others in town did not carry at all. Great fast friendly service!

If their service is as rude and horrible as their driver in the truck with this license plate, 656hI79, I'd say they are not a business I will ever use.

Unfortunately my experience with Gates Lumber has not been positive. Doors and a window were measured and delivered incorrectly. I was also able to find the exact same window at a local home improvement store for $200 less. One set of doors is still leaking and while we were told "we would be taken care of" I have yet to hear back from anyone at Gates Lumber even after numerous e-mails and phone calls.

I hope they make good on their word. Up-date: After numerous e-mails and phone calls we finally did receive the monetary credit owed to us for the incorrect size of doors, which required more work then expected on the initial installation. We were told Gates Lumber will help us in any way if we have any future issues with the doors which were still leaking. They have come out twice to adjust the doors, hopefully the issues have been corrected.
