I'm pleased to announce that New York Lumber has added three new team members to keep pace with our growing business. Each brings specialized skills that will help us serve our customers better.
David Park — Wood Finishing Specialist
David joins us from a custom furniture shop in Red Hook where he spent eight years developing expertise in wood finishing techniques. His specialty is oil-based penetrating finishes, which are our most recommended finish for reclaimed wood applications. David will manage our expanded finishing services, allowing us to deliver pre-finished reclaimed flooring, paneling, and custom pieces.
Having an in-house finishing specialist means faster turnaround times and more consistent quality control for customers who want ready-to-install material.
Maria Torres — Logistics Coordinator
Maria comes to us from the freight industry with over a decade of experience managing deliveries in the New York metro area. She's now overseeing all inbound and outbound logistics for our Long Island City facility — coordinating salvage pickups from demolition sites, managing our delivery fleet, and ensuring that customer orders arrive on time and in good condition.
NYC delivery logistics are complicated, and having a dedicated professional managing the process will reduce delays and improve communication around delivery scheduling.
Kevin Wright — Client Relations Manager
Kevin is an architect by training (he holds a B.Arch from Pratt Institute) who transitioned into the materials supply side of the industry. His architectural background gives him a unique ability to understand and communicate with our design professional clients. Kevin will serve as the primary point of contact for architects, designers, and developers, helping translate design concepts into material specifications.
Why We're Growing
Our business has grown steadily over the past several years, driven by increasing demand for reclaimed and sustainable building materials across the NYC construction market. These new hires allow us to maintain the personal, hands-on service that our customers expect while handling a larger volume of projects.
If you're a new or returning customer, you may notice the improvements. More responsive scheduling, better finishing options, and a deeper bench of expertise to draw from. We're excited about what this expanded team will allow us to do.
