Four Steps
From Request to Quote
Send a Request
Fill in the quote form with what you need (or what you want to sell): product, species if you know it, dimensions, quantity, grade, and your ZIP code. The more detail, the better the quote.
We Pass It On
New York Lumber sends your request to partner suppliers in our network who may be able to help with that material and location.
A Partner Supplier Follows Up
A partner supplier contacts you to confirm details, answer questions, and prepare a quote covering material, any milling, and pickup or delivery.
You Decide
Compare the quote with your plans and budget. There is no obligation to buy. If you go ahead, you deal directly with the partner supplier on price, terms, delivery and returns.

What to Include
| Detail | Why it helps |
|---|---|
| Product type | Dimensional lumber, beams, flooring, paneling, or milled stock. |
| Species | A preferred species and acceptable alternatives, or "not sure". |
| Dimensions | Thickness, width and length, and whether they are nominal or actual. |
| Quantity | Board feet, square feet, or piece count. The board foot calculator can help. |
| Grade or look | How much character you want: clean, moderate, or rustic. |
| Milling | Any surfacing, resawing or profiles such as tongue-and-groove or shiplap. |
| Location & timing | Your ZIP code and when you need the material, so suppliers can check pickup or delivery. |
Good to Know
Pricing, Grades and Availability
Pricing is by quote. Reclaimed wood prices depend on species, grade, dimensions, quantity, milling and delivery, and they change with supply. Partner suppliers set their own prices.
Grades vary by supplier. Reclaimed grades usually describe character (nail holes, checking, patina) and soundness. Ask the supplier to describe the grade, and request samples for visible applications. See the grading guide.
Availability changes. Reclaimed stock depends on what has been salvaged recently. Listing acceptable alternatives (another species, width or grade) makes it more likely a partner supplier can help.
Selling wood? Describe the species if known, sizes, approximate quantity, condition (nails, paint, rot) and where it is. A partner supplier may follow up with an offer or pickup options.
