🪵 BUILT ON LEGACY — High Brothers Lumber x Lake Expo x Studio V!
Studio V Hypermedia Entertainment just wrapped up something special — and if you've been following the Lake of the Ozarks business scene, this one is going to hit different. We teamed up with Lake Expo — The Lake's Trusted News Source — to spotlight one of the region's most storied, community-rooted businesses: High Brothers Lumber & Millwork.
This is more than just a business feature. This is a story about family, legacy, and what it means to build something that lasts.
🏗️ Who Is High Brothers Lumber?
Since 1978, High Brothers Lumber has been the Lake of the Ozarks' go-to source for premium quality lumber and building materials. It started as the Plywood Barn, founded by brothers Jim High and Pete High — and from day one, they weren't just selling wood. They were building trust with contractors, homebuilders, and weekend warriors across the entire region.
In 1981, Mike High joined the family operation, and by 1991 the business underwent a full transformation — rebranded as High Brothers Lumber and reborn with a bigger vision. Then in 2000, they opened their current, larger facility, solidifying their place as the Lake's top lumber destination for over four decades.
Mike High ran the business with dedication and integrity until his passing in February 2023. Today, the next generation of High Brothers carries that torch forward — continuing the tradition their family built, board by board.
📰 Lake Expo Brings the Story to Life
Lake Expo isn't just a news site — it's the heartbeat of the Lake of the Ozarks community. As the region's most trusted digital news source, Lake Expo covers everything from local events and boating culture to the businesses that make the Lake area what it is. Their business feature series shines a light on the companies and families shaping the Ozarks economy — and High Brothers Lumber is exactly the kind of story worth telling.
When Lake Expo puts a business in focus, the community listens.
🎬 Studio V Steps In — We Brought the Vision
That's where Studio V Hypermedia Entertainment comes in. Lake Expo brought us on to produce the video component of this feature — because a story this rich deserves more than just words on a page. It deserves visuals. It deserves energy. It deserves production.
At Studio V, we don't just shoot and edit — we translate a brand's identity into something your audience can feel. From the legacy of the High family to the quality of every plank they stock, we captured what makes High Brothers Lumber the institution it is at the Lake of the Ozarks.
This is what a Studio V Hypermedia collaboration looks like: real storytelling, real businesses, real impact.
