FAQ
Are you a licensed and insured logging company?
Yes. Chimney Lumber Company operates a fully insured, experienced logging company equipped to handle thinning, select cuts, and full timber clearing. Our team follows industry best practices to ensure safe, responsible harvesting on every property.
What areas do you serve?
We purchase timber throughout North Carolina and surrounding regions, depending on acreage and accessibility. If you’re unsure whether we service your area, just reach out—we’re happy to check for you.
How do I know if my property qualifies for timber harvesting?
Qualification depends on several factors, including acreage, timber species, timber size, and access for equipment. We offer a no-cost evaluation to determine feasibility.
Do you purchase timber from small residential properties?
We typically look for properties with enough acreage for safe and profitable harvesting. Smaller properties may still qualify for thinning or selective cuts depending on layout and timber quality.
What species of timber do you buy?
We purchase pine, oak, poplar, maple, and various mixed hardwoods. Market value can vary by species, size, and condition.
How does payment work?
Payment is made promptly once harvesting is completed. You’ll receive clear, transparent pricing before any work begins—no surprises or hidden fees.
Do I need to prepare anything before your team arrives?
No major prep is required. We simply need access to the property, such as driveways, gates, or entry points, so our team can evaluate and eventually harvest the timber safely.
How long does the evaluation process take?
Most evaluations take place within a few days of your inquiry. After the assessment, we provide pricing and next steps quickly.
Will my land be damaged during timber harvesting?
Some ground disturbance is normal, but our logging team works carefully to minimize impact. We use proper equipment, plan safe access routes, and treat your land with respect.
Can I keep some of the logs or lumber from my property?
Yes, if requested. If you’d like certain logs milled or saved for personal use, just let us know during the evaluation. We can coordinate custom milling at our sawmill as a separate service.
