What to look for in a Dallas lumber store
A good lumber store should help you match species, moisture, and grade to your project. Ask how long material has been drying, whether it was stickered, and if you can check moisture content before you buy.
Quick buying tips
Kiln load policy
We run large kiln loads only (2000 bd/ft minimum). Lumber must air-dry under cover for a few months before kiln scheduling. Wet wood ties up the kiln, raises energy use, and increases checking, so it is accepted only at a premium when schedules allow.
