MILL TO ORDER
Buffalo Lumber specializes in Milled to Order Pre-Finished - Primed, Painted, or Stained - Cedar Siding, Redwood Siding and Knotty Pine Paneling shipped direct from the mill located closest to You.
We do Not stock inventory. We create each project individually. When you factor in setting up the mill, packaging for transit and shipping we become a good value to you at about the $2500 mark. If that is not in the budget we are not a good fit for your project.
WHY QUOTE IN SQFT?
The lumber industry is constantly changing and sizes of finished products are changing so we quote everything (except Trim and Lumber) in terms of SQUARE FEET. That is a 12 inch by 12 inch area on the wall to be covered when the siding is put together. This eliminates the need to convert lineal footage to square footage in a world where the size is not constant.
OUR GOAL
We are experts trained in wood grade, performance and finish applications. We listen to your project goals, help you find the wood that is best suited to achieve them and then make sure you get what you expected and what you paid for!

TESTIMONIALS
"After talking to several lumberyards in our area we were no no closer to knowing and understanding anything about the siding we planed on buying then before. We decided then to call Buffalo Lumber and wished we had done so right away. From the very first phone call to the final delivery the experience was nothing less then amazing and very professional. Within less than a day we had all our questions answered and a quote on the table. Between signing the contract and the delivery we were kept updated every step of the way. We even got tips on to how to care for and install the wood. The quality we received was excellent with very little and only minor damage. It was a truly great experience !!"

"We have been using Buffalo Lumber for a few years as our custom cedar supplier. Their customer service is excellent. All the samples were shipped fast. They are very through in every step of the process. Every piece wood in the order had its own profile and specific details. Every phase of the shipping was well coordinated. They follow up after the every delivery was completed with a phone call and email. It has been a pleasure working with Chris and the Buffalo Lumber team and look forward to future orders."

Purchased: 1500 SQFT 1x8 DUTCH LAP CEDAR-WRC SIDING STK (BL Grade Equivalent MILL SELECT), KD, StainEXT, RESAWN, Rough Use.
”From my first inquiry to follow-up after my order, everyone that I worked with at Buffalo Lumber was helpful, knowledgeable, and keenly interested in the success of our project. Ordering building materials from several states and many miles away, they covered every detail. The wood we purchased is beautiful and looks amazing in our three-season porch. We couldn't be happier with our choice to purchase from Buffalo Lumber.”

Purchased: 700 SQFT 1x8 T&G PONDEROSA PINE BLUE STK PANELING (BL Grade Equivalent MILL SELECT), KD, UV CLEAR FINISH
”We have had a great experience dealing with Buffalo Lumber while building a new home. After much searching and comparisons, the initial discussion with Jason at Buffalo Lumber helped make the decision to use them in providing the material for the outside of our new home. After that the rest of the team stayed in constant contact with us and always stayed on schedule, which was a big help in coordinating the rest of the home project. The material that we received was excellent quality and makes for a beautiful exterior to our home. I would highly recommend them to anyone who wants to get quality materials for their project.

"We incorporated products supplied by Buffalo Lumber into a 7 unit row home in the Cherry Creek neighborhood of Denver Colorado. Buffalo lumber supplied pre-finished ship-lap for the exterior as well as unfinished ship-lap for interior dropped soffits. Both turned out amazing. The products showed up to the site with out issue, with little to no damage to the shipments. Buffalo Lumber's team were extremely helpful in getting the order placed and continued to follow up after the shipment left their facility to ensure there were no issues. I would recommend their product to anyone in the market for these types of products. Especially considering the finished look of the pre finished vs finished in the field."

”From the initial inquiry (1.5 yrs ago) to now, installing the Dutch Lap Cedar Siding now, Buffalo Lumber exemplifies customer success in every way. I was skeptical of ordering an important part of our dream house via a company in TN as we are based in central CA. The sales professional was open about the process and the milling location and the 2800 sq ft was delivered perfectly. Will be providing pictures to them to use as appreciation as well as to help other customers visualize end results. I plan to order internal wood products now to complete our vision. Highly recommend this company and their services and products are stellar.”

”Buffalo Lumber was focused on providing me the best possible customer experience from first contact through delivery of the final product with a very knowledgeable and helpful staff - even for us do-it-your-selfers. First contact with the Buffalo Lumber Specialist who answered all of my questions regarding siding choices, availability, time, cost, and delivery options, to Buffalo's Customer Relations Manager with information on wood products, its proper storage, use, grades, and installation - right down to the type of nails to use - and the Buffalo Order Manager, unbelievably, (what company does this these days?) who follows and updates the customer weekly on the lumber milling, painting, and delivery. I was never left in the dark. The product itself exceeded my expectations. I purchased nearly 2000 feet of cedar siding, primed and painted to my color specification. It arrived packaged exceptionally well with NO damage. Buffalo Lumber's website was packed with information on lumber choices, cost, and installation to read before placing that first call. Buffalo Lumber provided a quality solution for my home renovation with superior customer service.”

"My first dealings with Buffalo Lumber was about five years ago when we were building a new lake house.
My wife wanted Western Red Cedar for the interior and in searching the web I came across their website and saw some gorgeous homes built with redwood and decided I wanted one too! After getting some samples stained with different types of stain we settled on a bill of materials to cover the entire inside of a 2,800 square foot home with cedar and the outside 100% in redwood. On a leap of faith I ordered an entire semi-truck load of lumber and had it delivered to my business for storage. The bundles were wrapped to protect from the elements and as we needed the wood we carried it out to the job site. Out of approximately 42,000 pounds of lumber we had about three boards that were damaged but still usable in pieces. I cannot say enough about the exceptional quality we received from Chris Buffalo.
My son has since bought from Buffalo Lumber with the same experience and I recently decided to replace a 20 year old deck at our main residence and ordered a load of 2" x 6" redwood mixed sap and heartwood with a clear sealer applied. My contractor was blown away by the quality of the wood. No damaged what so ever and the boards were straight as an arrow and laid down with no tugging or straightening. I recommend Buffalo Lumber to anyone needing quality wood products."

”I have only good things to say about my customer experience with Buffalo Lumber. I contacted them via internet looking for 1,250 SF clear, stained and finished car siding for the vaulted ceiling in my home. Chris contacted me directly, listened to understand my vision, and matched me up with solution to meet my expectations and budget. The quality of the product was phenomenal. What impressed me the most is the service - from the helpful instructions on proper handling, storage, and care to fastening recommendations. Both Chris and his team have since followed up with me on numerous occasions. Fair pricing, unmatched quality and service.”

A 15 minute consultation with Buffalo Lumber could save you EIGHTY THOUSAND DOLLARS
It is TRUE. We saved one of our customers $80,000 over what "other experts" were telling them by understanding the priorities of the decision maker.
Our expertise lies in communication. We know people and we know wood. We can show you the various options available to you and give accurate ideas of cost associated with those options.
Our job is not to convince you to buy wood from us. Our job is to determine your wood priorities and prescribe a successful method to achieve them.
We point out the pitfalls associated with each option you consider and allow you to make an EDUCATED DECISION.
100% commitment to the long term success of your project means- We are not always the best price option up front. Buffalo Lumber specializes in doing it the "right" way not the cheapest way. Long term success often costs more up front.
We are not less expensive if your local lumber yard has the wood in stock. We become a good deal for things the local guys have to "order in".
We are not a bidding machine. We understand that everyone shops for the best lumber value. Our position on charging for quotes is that we are not charging for quotes at all- we are charging for the "due diligence" to do the job right.
Every Buffalo Lumber project is evaluated and carefully examined for potential problems and long term success. If you get a Buffalo Lumber quote it means your chances of success are very high because we won't even quote you if you are not serious about the performance and care of the wood.
