Tackling any outdoor home project comes with a multitude of questions. Which kind of lumber should be used? What dimensions are needed? How do I get the material to my house or job site? How much will it cost? Fortunately, having a lumber yard specialist gives you the tools and guidance you need to create the space of your dreams. Whether it’s sprucing up your deck, fixing fence posts, or another type of DIY project, here’s how your local lumber yard can help.
Makes Projects Come to Life with Customization
Creating a cozy outdoor space requires customization to fit your home’s current design. Though the framework may be standard, the details are what makes the difference. From choosing wood types and colors, complementary stains, and decorative touches, it’s nice to have the option of a personalized touch.
At J&W Lumber, we offer custom milling to ensure you have the materials you need to make the look all your own. Our lumber yard specialists are happy to discuss the pros and cons of different materials and outline what can and can’t be done with specific projects.
DIY can be overwhelming, especially if it’s your first outdoor project. We can help you decide whether to move forward with a professional or forge ahead by yourself. There are several options that may simplify many of the most popular outdoor projects, such as kits for patio covers and garden boxes. We’ll equip you with what you need to get started.
Assists with Material Selection for the Perfect Match
With all the various materials available, it’s convenient to see options side by side. Your local lumber yard showcases its materials both in the racks and on displays for design inspiration. A specialist will first discuss the plans for your project, which will determine the next steps. Knowing what you’ve envisioned is important when choosing and budgeting for materials. It’ll guide which lumber types, sizes, and dimensions are needed and if any custom orders are necessary to complete the look.
Some homeowners are ready for a complete renovation, while others want a smaller refresh to make it feel like new. Whether the project calls for specialty milling, finding the right siding sample, or updating a deck with a fresh coat of stain, we’ll help you create the perfect match.
Connects Contractors with the Community
Many times homeowners seek contractor referrals when it comes to handling bigger or more complex outdoor projects. Your lumber yard specialists can help make these connections within your community. They also make the ordering process as easy as possible for contractors as they work within the parameters of set timelines and budgets.
Lumber yard specialists also bring awareness and education about new products. Every year there are new trends in home decor with updated product lines to consider. At J&W Lumber, we host vendor demos for local contractors to showcase the most current products. With the casual, in-store setting, anyone is welcome to stop by for donuts, coffee, and an introduction to what’s new.
There’s a personalized experience a local lumber yard offers that national brands simply can’t replicate. Our specialists are ready to answer any questions you have about your next outdoor home project and ensure you have everything you need to begin. Stop by your local J&W Lumber store today.
