Welcome to The Paramount Design Center, an innovative venture born from the esteemed lineage of Latvala Lumber and Paramount Granite Company.

Established in 1980 on the Iron Range by the Latvala Family

Latvala Lumber quickly distinguished itself by providing superior lumber and building materials alongside unwavering customer support. Over the years, our commitment to excellence propelled us to become the leading lumberyard in the region, a legacy we proudly uphold today.

In 2011, recognizing the opportunity for expansion, Latvala Lumber acquired a lumberyard in Grand Rapids, MN, further solidifying our position as a cornerstone of quality and service. Under new ownership in 2021, our dedication to treating everyone as we would like to be treated continues to be the driving force behind our success.
