What sets them apart is their commitment to delivering the highest quality product, sourced and processed in ways aligned with their values around sustainability. Here are a few in the Northeast we are directly partnered with and/or can personally recommend. As always, you can take advantage of our reclaimed lumber locator as well.

As a follow up to that experience we had a chance to chat with ICFF about why building a unique product matters, the importance of a reliable supply chain and the pandemic altering notion of home. We’ll officially be featured at this year’s ICFF in NYC in November 2021, but below is the interview published in full we did with them from last year.

Among the things he recommends are not being afraid to ask questions, and following your instinct when it comes to what to buy. We learned a lot from having this conversation, and think you might too.
