Do you deliver to New York City?

Absolutely! Midtown Lumber hand-delivers custom-cut lumber and materials throughout NYC and the surrounding area.

We work with museums, galleries, artists, designers, production teams, contractors, and homeowners, providing dependable delivery and personal service from start to finish.

Simply request delivery when you submit your custom cutting quote, and we'll include delivery pricing and timing.

How quickly can I receive my order?

We know timing matters! Lead times depend on material availability, the quantity of pieces, and the complexity of your project.

Our team works hard to provide fast turnaround without compromising accuracy or quality. We'll provide an estimated lead time with your quote and keep you informed throughout the process.

Do you ship custom-cut lumber nationwide?

Yes! In addition to our NYC delivery service, we carefully package and ship custom-cut lumber throughout the United States.

Please include your shipping ZIP code when submitting your quote so we can provide shipping options and pricing.

Do I have to purchase full sheets of material, or can I order only the pieces I need?

You can order custom-cut pieces to fit your project! Depending on the material, you may not need to purchase an entire sheet.

Certain specialty materials are sold by the full sheet only.

Send us your cut list through our Custom Cutting page, and we'll help you find the most practical and cost-effective option.

How accurate is your custom cutting?

Precision is our specialty! Our experienced team cuts lumber to within 1/16 of an inch, providing consistent, accurate results for projects of all sizes.
