History
In 1925 Overisel Feed and Lumber Co. was founded by John Voorhorst in Overisel, Michigan, which is a small community about four miles south-west of Holland. Elvin Slenk started working for Overisel Feed and Lumber Co. as a bookkeeper and sales/designer in 1953. Five years later Gord Zuverink joined him in sales and design. That same year the original owner retired. In 1960, Elvin Slenk and Gord Zuverink took the bold step of purchasing the lumberyard part of the business and changed the name to Overisel Lumber Company. Five years later Elvin and Gord moved the company from Overisel to Holland on 32nd Street. Elvin bought out his partner, Gord, in 1980 to become sole owner of Overisel Lumber Company. In 1992, Elvin retired from Overisel Lumber Company but remains part owner. His two sons, Tim and Greg, took the reigns. We moved the store in Holland from the original office and built a new, more spacious store in 1995. We now have 3 locations and a kitchen and bath center.
