Every lumber project starts with choosing the right material for the job. Whether you're building an outdoor living space, finishing interior walls, or framing a timber structure, Timberline carries the species and profiles to get it done right.
We specialize in high-quality hardwoods, tropical species, and domestic softwoods from our mill partners. Below you'll find our project categories—each one covers the species we stock, the profiles available, and the applications best suited for the material.
Decking
Ipe, Cumaru, and Garapa tropical hardwood decking. Naturally rot-resistant, incredibly dense, and built to last 40+ years without chemical treatment. Available in pre-grooved and square-edge profiles.
Siding & Trim
Board & batten, nickel gap, shiplap, tongue-and-groove V-joint, rustic log profiles, and hardwood rain screen cladding. Real wood siding from cedar, cypress, pine, and tropical hardwoods.
Ceilings & Paneling
V-joint, nickel gap, shiplap, and bead board profiles for interior accent walls, ceilings, and wainscoting. Available in pine, cedar, poplar, and specialty hardwoods.
Interior Flooring
Yellow Pine, Red Oak, and White Oak strip flooring in various widths. Unfinished and ready for site-applied stain and seal. Custom species available by request.
Timbers & Structural
Douglas Fir, Western Red Cedar, Cypress, and Ipe timbers for posts, beams, pergolas, and heavy timber framing. Standard and custom sizes up to 24 feet.
Custom Millwork
Any pattern, any species, any dimension. We mill custom profiles to your exact specifications with a one-time setup fee. Ideal for historic restoration, unique architectural details, and proprietary designs.
Why Real Wood?
Composite and synthetic decking may promise low maintenance, but the documented history of composite product failures tells a very different story:
- Structural Sagging: Composite decking possesses virtually no independent structural rigidity. It requires intense substructure support spanning at least three joists to prevent visible sagging and warping during high summer heat. Ipe, by contrast, has a bending strength that surpasses concrete.
- Internal Molding & Rot: Early and mid-generation composites used wood sawdust or recycled food packaging as binding fillers. When exposed to weather, moisture becomes encapsulated within the plastic matrix, leading to severe internal molding and rotting that is invisible until catastrophic failure.
- Thermal Bleeding: Manufacturers inject dyes to colorize the plastic, but these dyes become unstable in extreme heat. The pigment bleeds to the surface, stains bare feet, and tracks into living rooms.
- Catastrophic Breakage: If the binding fibers within the composite matrix are not perfectly mixed during extrusion, boards develop invisible weak points that can snap under normal human weight.
Tropical hardwood species like Ipe carry a Class A fire rating (ASTM E84) — the same classification as steel and concrete — and naturally resist rot, insects, and UV degradation without chemical treatments. The higher initial investment in real hardwood is a necessary investment in safety, longevity, and structural integrity.
For interior applications, real wood paneling and flooring add warmth and character that no laminate or vinyl plank can replicate. Wood is a renewable resource, and when sourced responsibly it stores carbon for the lifetime of the structure.
Delivery & Logistics
We deliver premium lumber on specialized flatbeds with time-intensive loading protocols. Our delivery fee structure is transparent:
- Transit Billing: Delivery fees are billed at $75 per hour, encompassing the full round-trip transit from the warehouse to the job site and back. A site one hour away requires a two-hour round trip, resulting in a minimum $150 delivery charge.
- Hand-Unloading: If a delivery location lacks an on-site forklift or machinery, the customer must provide able-bodied labor to hand-unload the material. Extended unloading times due to a lack of customer-provided labor will result in additional hourly demurrage charges.
- Scheduling: Delivery windows are scheduled based on route availability. Contact us for scheduling and logistics coordination.
