How It Works

A Referral Service for Philadelphia Lumber

Philadelphia Lumber is a referral service. We don't run a lumber yard. We take quote requests from buyers and sellers of reclaimed and new lumber in the Philadelphia area and pass them to partner suppliers in our network.

A partner supplier follows up to confirm what's available, the grade and condition, any processing, and whether pickup or delivery makes sense. Prices, terms and delivery are set by the supplier in their quote.

The quote request is free and carries no obligation.

The Reclaimed Advantage

Why Reclaimed Lumber?

Reclaimed wood brings character and a reuse story that new boards don't have.

Reuse

Reusing a sound beam or board means one less piece of wood that has to be cut, milled and shipped new, and one less piece heading for disposal.

Character

Older timber often comes from slower-grown trees with tight growth rings, and years of use add patina, nail holes and saw marks that many buyers look for.

Variety

Salvaged stock can include species and sizes that are hard to find new, such as heart pine, chestnut and large old timbers. Availability changes with what partners have on hand.

Common Requests

Species People Ask About

These are common reclaimed species in the region. What's available at any time depends on partner suppliers.

American Chestnut
