Our Values

Longleaf Lumber is built upon an ethos of sustainability and quality. Reducing, reusing, and recycling have always been cornerstone values of our business, and we are constantly achieving savings in energy, reducing waste, and reusing materials. Beyond sourcing only reclaimed and salvaged wood, we recycle manufacturing byproducts such as wood scraps, mill cut-offs, and de-nailing waste, upcycle 100% of our sawdust, heat our mill with our own wood waste, and use recycled shipping and packaging materials.
