A.D. Moyer Lumber, Inc. is an independent building materials supplier located at 1200 E Philadelphia Ave in Gilbertsville, Pennsylvania. The company operates as a full-service lumberyard, combining an indoor retail store with an outdoor yard and covered storage for dimensional lumber, sheet goods and bulk building products. It serves a mix of residential customers, remodelers, general contractors and trade professionals working throughout western Montgomery County and the surrounding portions of Berks and Chester counties.
Unlike national home improvement chains, which organize inventory around self-service shopping, A.D. Moyer follows the traditional lumberyard model: customers place orders at a sales counter, staff pull or price the material, and yard personnel handle loading. The business has operated in the Gilbertsville area for many years as a family-run enterprise, and much of its trade comes from repeat contractor accounts and homeowners in the Boyertown, Gilbertsville, Bally, Pottstown and Douglassville communities.
Lumber and Structural Materials
Framing and structural products form the core of the inventory. Typical stock includes:
- Kiln-dried dimensional framing lumber in common widths and lengths
- Pressure-treated lumber for ground contact, decks, sill plates and outdoor framing
- Plywood, OSB and specialty sheet goods, including subflooring and sheathing panels
- Engineered lumber such as LVL beams and headers, available by order for span-specific applications
- Cedar, pine and select hardwood boards for finish carpentry, shelving and shop projects
- Furring strips, lattice, stakes, trim boards and other small-dimension material
Because the yard serves working builders, stock is generally graded and stored with an eye toward usable, straight material rather than volume turnover. Staff will typically walk customers into the yard to select individual boards for visible applications such as trim, cabinetry or furniture projects.
Millwork, Windows and Doors
Millwork is a significant part of the business. The store carries interior and exterior doors, moulding and trim profiles, stair parts, columns and related finish products, with special-order capability for sizes, species and configurations not held in stock. Window and door ordering is handled at the counter, where salespeople configure units by size, frame material, glass package and grille pattern, then produce a written quote and place the factory order. Replacement windows, new-construction units, patio doors and entry door systems are all part of the product mix, and delivery is commonly included on ordered goods.
Garage doors represent another established line. The company sells residential garage doors and openers and provides service work, including spring replacement, hardware repair and adjustment. Having both the sales and service side under one roof means that homeowners who purchase a door through the store can return to the same source for parts and maintenance years later.
Decking, Siding and Exterior Products
The store maintains a decking department that includes pressure-treated lumber, composite and PVC systems such as Trex, along with railing components, fasteners, hidden clip systems, post caps and framing hardware. Sample displays in the showroom allow customers to compare board colors and railing styles before committing to an order. Staff routinely assist with material takeoffs for deck projects, converting a sketch or set of dimensions into a board-by-board list.
Other exterior categories carried or available by order include roofing materials, house wrap, vinyl and composite siding, soffit and fascia, gutters, insulation, and concrete and masonry supplies. Seasonal items rotate through the store as well, covering yard and garden needs, ice melt, and other weather-driven merchandise.
Hardware, Fasteners and Finishing Supplies
The retail area functions much like a hardware store, stocking nails, screws, bolts, structural connectors, adhesives, caulk, tools, tarps, ladders, safety equipment, cleaning products and paint and stain along with related applicators and sundries. This makes the location practical for small errands — a box of deck screws, a replacement hinge, a gallon of solid-color stain — as well as large material orders. A discount area, commonly known among regular customers as the bargain bin, holds short lengths, overstock and closeout items at reduced prices, and odds and ends are occasionally set outside free for the taking.

Location and Access
The Gilbertsville store sits along East Philadelphia Avenue, part of Pennsylvania Route 73, a main east–west corridor through New Hanover Township that connects Boyertown to the west with Sumneytown and the Route 663 and Route 100 corridors to the east. The location places the yard within a short drive of Pottstown, Bally, Barto, Sassamansville and the northern reaches of the Perkiomen Valley. The property includes on-site parking with a wheelchair accessible entrance and accessible parking, and the layout accommodates pickup trucks, trailers and contractor vehicles pulling directly into the yard for loading.
The main phone line is +1 610-367-2036, and additional product information, hours and account details are published on the company website at admoyer.com. Hours follow a typical building supply schedule, opening early on weekdays for contractor traffic and running shortened hours on Saturday; customers planning a weekend trip are advised to confirm closing time in advance.
Who Uses the Yard
Customer traffic falls into three broad groups. Professional builders and remodelers use the yard for framing packages, millwork orders and delivered jobsite material. Homeowners undertaking defined projects — a deck replacement, a set of replacement windows, a basement finish — use the counter staff for estimating and ordering. A third group consists of hobbyists, woodworkers and small-business owners who come for specific board species, dimensions or hardware that general retailers do not stock. The store's willingness to source unusual items and to sell in small quantities makes it useful for these specialized requests.
Practical Notes for First-Time Customers
- Bring project dimensions, a sketch or existing measurements when ordering windows, doors or decking; quotes are generated at the counter and accuracy speeds the process.
- Delivery is often available on larger orders, which can be more practical than transporting long lumber by personal vehicle.
- Special-order millwork and windows carry manufacturer lead times, so ordering well ahead of a construction schedule is advisable.
- Contractors working regularly in the area may benefit from establishing an account for quoting and billing.
