More than On-Site Milling. Expert Advice, Lot Clearing & More
When you hire Chris to mill your lumber, he gives you correct information to share with your tree guy and other professionals so that you get the right log lengths to meet your needs, including your builder’s materials list. If you plan to make flooring or other materials that require post-milling process work such as kiln drying or surfacing, Chris will explain what needs to happen at each stage and provide you with contact information for the appropriate service providers.

How Our On-Site Milling Process Works
Initial Consultation
Contact us to discuss what type of trees you have and how you would like to use them.
If Needed, We Schedule a Site Visit
Depending on the scope of the work needed, Chris may need to visit your job site for an in-person consultation to determine the equipment needed, length the job will take, and other factors. The cost for an on-site consultation is $180 which will be deducted from your first invoice if you choose to hire us.
We Provide A Written Estimate
After the initial consultation, you will receive an email detailing the job specifics and the estimated cost. We will follow up two days after the estimate is sent to see if you have any questions or need more time to make a decision.
You Pay a Deposit to Secure Your Place in our Job Queue
Because our services are in such demand and is dependant on weather conditions, we usually stay booked three-four weeks out. To prevent cancellations, we take a initial deposit to add you to our job que. Once you accept the estimate, we will email you an invoice. Once paid, your place on our schedule has been secured.
Chris Custom Mills on Your Site
Chris brings the mill to your site and mills your lumber according to your specified dimensions. It is stickered (separated using narrow wood strips) and stacked for optimal air flow and dry time. Chris will instruct you on how to preserve your lumber so that it does not develop mold before you intend to use it.
Final Processing
If you plan to use your lumber for flooring or other materials that require kiln drying, planing, surfacing or tongue and grooving, Chris will give you further instructions on that process as well as contact information for facilities that offer those services. For an additional cost, we also provide material hauling services and can transport your lumber from your site to the dry kiln and the finished materials back to your job site after processing.

Save Hours Researching and Avoid Costly Mistakes. Invest in an On-Site or Virtual Site Consultation.
By investing in an on-site or virtual site consultation, you save hours researching what type of trees you have or what they can be used for. You remove the confusion and frustration from trying to find out how long your lumber needs to dry or what step to take next so you have the materials you need when you need them. You avoid the expense of keeping trees that yield little to no useable lumber or -worse – lose money by paying a tree company to haul off your most valuable logs (which they profit from by selling to a sawmill).
