Do you need to find a portable sawmill service near you?
Knowing where lumber sawyers exist locally opens the door to all kinds of DIY projects. For example, storm-damaged trees can be turned into useable lumber instead of heading to a chipper or landfill. But you can take advantage of milling lumber at local sawmills only if you know where to find them. There are online resources to help you find a sawmill near you. Some sawmills will cut lumber from logs that you bring to them, but others own portable sawmill equipment that can be brought to your site. Search by state or Zip code using the sawmill locators below and you will be on your way
to turning raw wood into quality-cut lumber for DIY projects without the need to purchase any equipment yourself.
