About Us
In 2026, Cozart Lumber & Supply proudly celebrates 80 years of serving builders, homeowners, and contractors across our region.
This milestone is not just about the years — it’s about the people. Generations of customers have walked through our doors, and generations of employees have helped build the reputation Cozart carries today. We are deeply grateful to the customers who have trusted us for decades, and to the past and present employees whose hard work made 80 years possible.
Cozart Lumber & Supply works with remodelers, homeowners, and do-it-yourselfers, along with contractors, and not just those in Rowan County. The company boasts a 40-plus mile service radius from its Rockwell-based location. Customers from Lake Norman to Albemarle purchase their building supplies from Cozart.
The business offers engineered joist and LVL designs, floor and roof truss designs, windows, lumber, millwork, plywood, bricks, blocks, mortar mix, concrete, drywall, piping, vinyl siding and porch railing, insulation, paneling, hardwood flooring and roofing.
Job site delivery is available in Rowan, Cabarrus, Stanly, Mecklenburg and other surrounding counties. After each order is pulled, it is double-checked by the delivery driver to ensure accuracy. The delivery fleet includes pickup trucks, enclosed vans, dump trucks, boom trucks and flatbed trucks that can haul a forklift to the job site.
Since1946, Cozart has remained locally owned and family operated, built on relationships, trust, and doing things the right way. While many lumber yards have come and gone, Cozart has stayed true to the same principles that started it all: take care of customers, take care of employees, and do the job Right the First Time.
Cozart is a "Building on Service" dealer. As part of Lumbermen's Merchandising Corporation, the largest forest products and building materials buying group in the United States, Cozart has direct access to unlimited products from the top suppliers in the industry, with billions of dollars in buying power. This means access to the best products, at the best prices, backed by the best service for customers.
Cozart Lumber is located on about 10 acres on Link Street, just behind Rockwell Elementary School. The company's buildings occupy more square footage than anyone has measured in quite some time.
"We just try to stick to basic, old principles" of serving customers and employees, Steve Whicker says. "We try to treat people the way we'd want to be treated."
From hand-written tickets in the 1940s to engineered designs and jobsite deliveries today, Cozart continues to combine old-school service with modern capability — serving a 40+ mile radius from Rockwell with the same care and attention that built our name.
