Best Ways to Reach Us

Preferred Contact Methods

The fastest and most reliable way to reach Houston Lumber is by email at info@houston-lumber.com. Email allows us to review your project details carefully, consult our inventory, and provide you with an accurate and thorough response. Most email inquiries receive a reply within one business day, and many are answered the same day they are received.

When you email us, including the following information will help us respond faster and more accurately: the type of lumber you are looking for (species, dimensions, grade), the approximate quantity in board feet, your intended application (framing, fencing, decking, architectural, furniture, etc.), your project location, and your timeline. If you have specific grading requirements or need material that matches a particular aesthetic, please mention that as well — the more detail you provide, the better we can serve you.

You can also use the contact form at the top of this page, which sends your message directly to our team. The form collects the key project details we need to begin working on your request, and it is the best option if you are not sure exactly what information to include — the form fields will guide you.

For customers who prefer face-to-face interaction, we welcome yard visits during business hours. You do not need an appointment to stop by, but we recommend emailing ahead if you have a specific project to discuss so that we can have the right team member available and relevant inventory staged for your review. Walk-ins are always welcome and our yard staff is happy to show you around, answer questions, and help you find the material you need.

Your Visit

What to Expect When You Visit

Whether you are a contractor scouting material for an upcoming project, a designer looking for unique character wood, or a homeowner curious about reclaimed lumber for the first time, we welcome your visit. Here is what to expect when you arrive at our Houston facility.

When you arrive at 121 Esplanade Blvd, head to our office, which is the first building you will see as you enter the property. A team member will greet you, ask about your project and needs, and then accompany you into the yard to look at available inventory. We keep our yard organized by species, dimensions, and grade so that you can easily compare options and find material that suits your project.

You are welcome to handle the lumber, inspect individual boards, and ask as many questions as you like. Our yard team has extensive knowledge of wood species, reclaimed lumber characteristics, and typical applications. They can help you estimate quantities, compare species for your application, and explain the differences between grades. If you are working from plans or specifications, bring them along — we are happy to review them and recommend material that meets your requirements.

If you find material you would like to purchase, we can process the order on-site and arrange for loading or delivery. For large orders or material that requires additional processing (custom dimensions, kiln drying, profiling), we will provide a quote and estimated timeline. We can also hold material for a limited period while you finalize project details.

Please wear closed-toe shoes when visiting the yard — this is an active processing facility and safety is our priority. We will provide a hard hat if you are entering areas beyond the main display yard. Children are welcome but must be accompanied by an adult at all times. Feel free to bring a tape measure, moisture meter, or any other tools you typically use to evaluate lumber — we encourage hands-on inspection.

Common Questions

Frequently Asked Questions About Ordering

We receive many of the same questions from new and returning customers. Here are answers to the five most common questions about placing orders with Houston Lumber.

How do I request a quote?

The best way to request a quote is by email at info@houston-lumber.com. Include the species you are looking for (or let us know if you are flexible), the dimensions (width, thickness, and length), the quantity in board feet, your intended application, and your project location. You can also use the contact form on this page. We respond to most quote requests within one business day. For large or complex projects, we may follow up with questions to ensure we understand your needs before providing a quote.

What is your minimum order size?

We do not enforce a strict minimum order size. We serve customers ranging from homeowners purchasing a few boards for a DIY project to commercial contractors ordering tens of thousands of board feet. However, delivery economics may make very small orders more cost-effective as customer pickups rather than deliveries. For orders under 100 board feet, we generally recommend picking up at our Houston facility to avoid delivery charges that may exceed the material cost.

Do you ship outside the Houston area?

Yes. We deliver throughout Texas, Louisiana, Mississippi, Alabama, and Florida using our own fleet of flatbed trucks. For destinations beyond our standard delivery area, we coordinate with third-party freight carriers to arrange LTL (less than truckload) or FTL (full truckload) shipping anywhere in the continental United States. Shipping costs for long-distance orders are quoted on a per-project basis based on volume, weight, and destination. We are happy to provide a shipping estimate as part of your project quote.

Can I visit the yard to select boards in person?

Absolutely. We welcome customers to visit our yard at 121 Esplanade Blvd in Houston, TX 77060 during business hours. You can walk the yard, handle material, and hand-select individual boards if your project requires specific visual characteristics. This is especially popular with designers and furniture makers who need to match a particular aesthetic. No appointment is needed for a general visit, but if you have a large or specific order to discuss, emailing ahead allows us to stage relevant material and have the right team member available.

What payment methods do you accept?

We accept payment by check, ACH bank transfer, wire transfer, and all major credit cards. For new commercial accounts, we offer net-30 payment terms upon credit approval. Residential customers and first-time commercial orders are typically handled as payment-on-order or payment-on-delivery. For large orders, we may require a deposit at the time of order with the balance due upon delivery. All payment terms are confirmed in writing before we begin processing your order.
