About this Directory
Portable sawmill services provide New Hampshire residents a unique
opportunity to connect with local forest products. Whether that is
wood harvested from their own land that is being used to build a home,
custom hardwood slabs for a living room table, or softwood lumber for
a chicken coop, there is an intimacy that clients can access that is often
missing from other lumber buying experiences.
This portable sawmill directory provides a listing of known portable
sawmill services in the state of New Hampshire at the time of
publication.
Services, prices, sawing consistency and efficiency, experience and
other attributes vary among portable sawmill service contractors. The
information provided in this publication is largely based on public
information and feedback provided by those who are listed. Listing
in this publication is not an endorsement of any of the individuals or
businesses herein, and it is important for those seeking a contractor to
do due diligence prior to working with any portable sawmill service.
Those seeking contracted services and providers of those services should
have a written agreement identifying the services provided, prices paid,
and other provisions that are important to either or both parties such as
proof of insurance.
In some cases, local code enforcement officials may want assurance that
locally produced lumber meets an appropriate grade for building. The
New Hampshire Native Lumber Law allows mills to certify that lumber
produced is equal to or greater than No. 2 grade (American Softwood
Standard) once the mill has successfully completed the NH Native                        extension.unh.edu
