S & S Gregory's Sawmill is a sawmill in Wilton, Connecticut, that works mostly in reclaimed wood. It has been in Wilton since 1856, and it serves the Western Connecticut Planning Region. The mill makes fireplace mantels, solid and boxed reclaimed beams, barn siding and interior paneling, and antique wood flooring. It also sells firewood and mulch. The reclaimed wood comes from barns and historic structures across the Northeast, and the business describes its approach as "Every board tells a story." The Vasale family took over the mill in 2025, and the business is run as a father-and-son team. Visits are by appointment. Quotes are requested through an online form, and the mill confirms each order. It suits a landowner restoring an old house or building something new, one who wants reclaimed beams, mantels or siding, or who needs firewood or mulch.

Crosswinds Farm & Sawmill is a sawmill in Oxford, Connecticut. This isn't someone who buys standing timber or comes out to log your land. It's a mill: you bring logs, or wood you've already had cut, and they saw it to the size you want. They work in Ash, Cedar, Hickory, Oak, Pine, Tulip, and sometimes Black Walnut and Cherry, depending on what's in stock at the time. The mill cuts beams up to 26 feet by 6 inches by 6 inches, along with blocking, fencing, flooring, mantels, siding, trailer decking, and sawdust and slab wood as by-products. All the lumber comes out rough cut, not planed, so if you want a true 2x4 rather than a store-bought approximation, this is the kind of place that gives you that. As they put it, "And, of course, we can mill whatever you can supply." There's no set price list. Every order is custom cut to your specifications, so you call ahead to talk through what you need and what it will cost. Bringing your own wood costs less than buying from their stock. The mill is open by appointment only, so you call or text first before showing up at 180 Moose Hill Road. This fits a landowner who already has logs down, or trees being cleared, and wants them turned into usable rough lumber rather than sold as standing timber.

Ridel Portable Sawmill is a portable sawmill service based in East Hartland, Connecticut, run by Corey Ridel and his team. They bring the mill to you and turn your logs into usable lumber "right at their own property," so there's no hauling logs off your land. They cut oak, pine, maple, ash, and cherry, using a Wood-Mizer LT50WIDE hydraulic portable sawmill that handles logs up to 41 inches wide and 21 feet long. Beyond milling, their work covers rough sawn lumber, rough cut siding and rafters, wood flooring, custom pre-built sheds and run-ins, trailer decking and side boards, and sawmill bandsaw blade sharpening. If you don't have your own logs, they can also supply lumber from their own stock. Their service area covers Connecticut, including the Northwest Hills Planning Region, plus parts of Massachusetts, Rhode Island, and other nearby New England areas. To mill on-site, they ask for about 50 feet of clear, level space for the truck and mill. Pricing is worked out after they talk through your project, with "no hidden costs" once a quote is given. This suits a landowner who wants the trees on their own property turned into boards, siding, or flooring on-site, rather than sold off as standing timber.

Lakeside Milling is a portable sawmill business based in Shelton, Connecticut. It's not a timber buyer or a logger that comes in to cut standing trees for you. Instead, it brings the mill to your property and turns logs you already have, from trees taken down or knocked over by a storm, into lumber, beams, mantles, or slabs right where they lie. They "come to you with a portable sawmill made in America capable of milling a tree 35" wide and 20' long." Along with the mill they bring a skid steer to move and stack the logs, plus the chainsaws, stacking material, and stickering needed to get the job done on site. Work covers cross cut cookies, beams, mantles, square or live edge slabs, and stacking. They've been milling around Connecticut since 2014. There's no stated minimum size for a job, no species named, and no sign they buy standing timber or run timber sales. This is a service for turning logs into usable wood, not a place to sell stumpage. This fits a landowner who already has logs on the ground, from a storm, a clearing job, or a few cut trees, and wants them milled into lumber or slabs on their own property rather than sold off as standing timber.

Moore's Sawmill Inc runs a working sawmill and lumber yard at 171 Mountain Ave in Bloomfield, Connecticut, about ten miles northwest of Hartford. It's a family operation that traces back to the 1870s, when the family started a local sawmill to meet the growing need for building lumber, and it's still run by a Moore today. The mill handles custom sawing, custom cutting, milling, kiln-drying, flooring, and lumber sales, and it names white oak among the species it works with. Work is built around turning logs into finished material to order rather than walking standing timber and making a buying offer, so if you're hoping someone will come look at trees on your land and talk through a timber sale, this isn't that kind of stop. It serves the Capitol Planning Region. The mill itself, built in 1977 with the current electric sawmill running since 1979, has capacity of over 500,000 board feet a year, and a dehumidification kiln added in 1996 dries roughly 75,000 board feet of mixed species annually. On its own pages the mill invites people to "Come See What We Saw," and it describes its work as "precise custom cutting to meet your specifications." There's history here too: five generations of the Moore family have worked as sawyers or woodworkers on the same Bloomfield land. This fits a landowner, builder, or craftsman who already has logs, lumber, or a project in mind and wants a local mill to saw, dry, or mill it, rather than someone looking for help selling standing timber off acreage.

E.R. Hinman & Sons Saw Mill is a sawmill in Burlington, Connecticut, running since 1830. It takes on forest land management, logging and timber harvesting, standing timber purchases, lumber inventory, planing, and specialty millwork. It has a state-certified forester on staff. If you call them about standing timber, the forester starts by discussing your goals with you, then walks the property and puts together recommendations on how to meet them. From there it moves into a Timber Sale Agreement for buying the merchantable wood, and once that's signed, local, municipal, and state agencies with jurisdiction are notified before harvesting starts. They work species including red oak, white oak, hard maple, soft maple, birch, ash, poplar, cherry, black walnut, hickory, pine, and hemlock. On the ground, they describe their approach as "state-of-the-art harvesting methods and equipment" aimed at "low impact harvesting operations." They serve the Northwest Hills Planning Region. Beyond the woods work, this is also a full operating mill with a showroom at 77 Milford Street, handling lumber inventory, planing, and custom millwork for wholesale and retail customers, plus a timber framing division. This fits a landowner in the Northwest Hills who wants one outfit that can walk the land, write up the timber sale, log it, and also has a mill and forester on staff rather than hiring separate people for each piece.

The Ledyard Up-Down Sawmill is a water-powered sawmill at 172 Iron St. (Route 214) in Ledyard, Connecticut. It is "a rare surviving example of a technology that was once commonplace," a sash-type sawmill restored to working order in the 1970s. Volunteers run it, and the public can watch it saw logs. Demonstrations run on Saturday afternoons from 1 to 4 pm in April and May and in October and November. Volunteers saw logs on the historic sash sawmill each Saturday afternoon, and there is no admission charge. The mill sits in Sawmill Park, which is open to the public every day of the year and has a mill pond, wood bridges over Lee Brook, and picnic tables. Visitors can also see a blacksmith shop, a circular sawmill, a shingle machine, ice harvesting tools, and a gristmill. The town of Ledyard owns the sawmill and the park. The mill does not offer timber buying, logging, or forest management to landowners. This suits a landowner who wants to see how water-powered sawing worked, or who enjoys old mill history, but not one who needs a buyer for standing timber or a logger for a tract.

N & H Woodmilling LLC is a sawmill at 6 Cross St in East Berlin, Connecticut, open by appointment only. It got its start in 2020 in Berlin, Connecticut, as a small hobby mill and grew from there into a full-service operation. They work with logs and slabs from native New England species, and they've handled pieces like a "European Elm Island" and a "40\" diameter Weeping Willow burl." Services include sawmill work with a 48 inch width capacity, CNC flattening and planing up to 6 by 12 feet, kiln drying, and slab finishing. Slabs are air dried for at least a year before kiln drying, which also brings them to 160 degrees to kill off any bugs. If you already have your own logs or slabs, they'll do custom sawmilling, kiln drying, and CNC flattening on them. If you don't, they also sell their own milled live edge slabs direct. There's no stated tract size minimum, so even a single log or a small batch of timber seems workable here, going by the kind of jobs they show on their site. This one suits a landowner who has a tree or two worth saving rather than a whole stand to sell, someone who wants that wood turned into lumber or a slab instead of just cleared and hauled away.

Scotland Hardwoods is a sawmill in Scotland, Connecticut that also logs timber and offers forestry consulting. It serves the Northeastern Connecticut Planning Region. They handle the whole job themselves. As they put it, "At Scotland Hardwoods we oversee the entire logging process," from cutting and skidding to loading and hauling the timber to their own sawmill. They log and mill Northern Red Oak, White Oak, Hard Maple, Soft Maple, Birch, Ash, and Poplar. For wet or sensitive ground, they use portable bridges during skidding to lessen the impact. If you want a long-term plan for your woods, they offer consultation and forestry services and long-term management plans. If you just want to sell your timber once, they can do that too, "harvesting your timber on a one-cut basis." Their foresters are State Certified Foresters, trained and certified in sustainable forest stewardship. This fits a landowner in Northeastern Connecticut who wants one outfit to run the logging job start to finish and take the logs straight to their own mill, whether that's a one-time harvest or a longer management plan.

Tallon Lumber Inc is a sawmill in Canaan, Connecticut. They manufacture lumber and dry it in their own kiln, then turn it into flooring, stakes, pallet and crate lumber, and chock blocks. They also run a green recycling operation, taking in brush and logs to make mulch, shavings, and wood chips, and they carry Pella windows and doors. Their trees are "selectively harvested to ensure timber for future generations," and once the logs reach the mill they handle the whole process themselves, from sawing through kiln drying to the finished board. They've been family-owned and operated for more than 40 years, working out of 2 Tallon Drive in Canaan. There's a showroom on site with samples of wood floors if you want to see finished products before you decide anything. They serve the Northwest Hills Planning Region. This is a mill and manufacturing operation more than a standing-timber buyer, so if you're a landowner with acres of trees still in the ground, this is a place to ask about where your logs could end up once they're cut, not necessarily who will come mark and buy them. If you've got brush or logs to clear, they'll take those too and turn them into mulch or chips. This fits a landowner who wants to see where their wood actually becomes something, flooring, stakes, mulch, rather than one looking for a forester to walk their woods and set up a harvest.

Center Hill Lumber is a sawmill in Barkhamsted, Connecticut, on Boettner Road. They cut and air dry their own lumber, working only with "native hardwood & softwood that we saw & air dry." If you have logs or trees down and want them custom sawn, or you want tree length firewood, this is the kind of place to call. Their inventory runs rough and planed, tongue and groove, V joint, ship lapped, and square edge boards, from 4 inches to 28 inches wide and a half inch to 6 inches thick. The business has been running since the early 1950s, and Peter took it over from his father in 1997. The main barn burned down in 2001 and they rebuilt and reorganized after that. They serve the Northwest Hills Planning Region, in Litchfield County. There's no sales counter banter here, just a phone number. Peter asks that you "call & talk to Peter in the evening to discuss your needs, ask questions or to schedule an appointment." That's the whole process: a conversation, not a form. This fits a landowner who already has logs cut or standing timber taken down and wants custom sawing or firewood, rather than someone looking for help marking and selling standing timber.

Terrific Timbers LLC is a portable sawmill service out of Mystic, Connecticut. Instead of you hauling logs to a mill, the mill comes to you. As they put it, "I bring a sawmill and saw your logs into your lumber at your property." You handle getting the logs ready and dealing with the lumber afterward; they saw it into boards, beams, or natural edge slabs, and leave you with the boards, scraps, and sawdust. They work with home, land and estate owners, woodworkers, hobbyists, municipalities, nonprofits, contractors, farmers, timber framers, architects, developers, and other sawmills. Both large and small jobs are welcome, so there's no stated minimum to worry about. They serve Connecticut locations only, and have been serving Connecticut since 2007. They're insured and belong to the Wood-Mizer Million Board Foot Club and Pro-Sawyer Network. Sawing runs Monday through Saturday, year-round, though they may reschedule if it's too hot or raining. This suits a Connecticut landowner who already has logs down and just wants them turned into usable lumber on site, without trucking anything anywhere.

Reclamation Lumber LLC is a sawmill and millwork business in New Haven, Connecticut, working out of a 20,000 square foot former trolley garage on Grand Avenue. They do not cut your standing woodland timber. Instead they take down barns, factories, mills and warehouses, board by board, and mill what comes out of them into antique flooring, old-growth structural beams, barn board, box beams, mantels, counters and custom millwork. Species they work with include antique white oak, white pine, heart pine and chestnut, along with Nicaraguan river wood and Caribbean heart pine. If you have a standing barn, an old timber frame, or salvaged stock sitting on your land, that is what they buy: "We buy standing barns, timber frames and salvaged stock." Material is sorted before it is milled: "Every piece is metal-detected, de-nailed and graded by species, thickness and character before it goes anywhere near a blade." Their salvage work reaches across New England, and they're counted in the South Central Connecticut Planning Region. This fits a landowner with an old barn or timber frame to sell, not one looking to log standing trees in the woods. From reclamationlumber.com, read 10 October 2026.

Jawor Lumber, Inc is a mill in Wallingford, Connecticut, in New Haven county. It's a family owned business, founded in 1990, working mainly in millwork and prefinishing rather than buying standing timber. What they do is custom millwork to architectural specifications, plus interior and exterior priming and prefinishing, profile sanding, wire brushing, and refinishing of moldings, flooring, paneling and siding. They've also added prefinishing of wood flooring. Their own words describe the work as "superior quality millwork & prefinishing." They serve manufacturers, wholesalers and retailers rather than taking in raw logs from a landowner's woodlot. They're listed as serving the South Central Connecticut Planning Region. No species, credentials, minimum tract size, or timber-sale process are stated. This fits a landowner who already has lumber or has had logs milled elsewhere and now needs that wood primed, prefinished, sanded or run into custom moldings and flooring, not someone looking for a buyer to harvest standing timber off their acreage.

Trunkworks Portable Sawmill, LLC is a family-owned sawmill business out of Waterford, Connecticut. They bring a portable sawmill right to your property and turn your logs into rough cut lumber on the spot, so you don't have to haul anything anywhere. The work covers three things: portable sawmilling, selling rough cut lumber they have on hand, and storm cleanup, where they come mill and remove a fallen tree that's become a mess in your yard. They are clear about one limit: "We are not arborists or a landscaping service and will not take down standing trees, downed trees only." So this is for logs already on the ground, whether from a storm or a tree you just cut, not for felling work. They say they are fully insured. They service all Connecticut counties, and are based in New London County. If you've got a log or two from a tree that came down, or you're picturing a backyard project like a rustic table and need rough cut boards, this is the kind of outfit to call. They offer a "free, no obligation consultation" if you want to talk it through first. This fits a small landowner with a downed tree or two, not someone planning a standing timber sale or looking for a forester to mark and sell timber across many acres.

Pine in the Ash Milling is a sawmill based in Ashford, Connecticut. They mill locally sourced logs into lumber, working mainly in Ash, Oak, and Pine. Their work includes custom orders, rough sawn boards, and live edge slabs. The process starts with a free estimate to go over what you're looking for, then they work with you to finalize a custom order. They are "fully licensed" under CT2811924 and note "20+ Years of Milling Experience." Orders can be picked up at their yard, or delivered within 50 miles for a small additional charge, with free delivery for local residents. They'll also load any order free of charge, with 24 hours notice. Payment is by cash or check. They serve the Northeastern Connecticut Planning Region, and are found under Tolland County in the register. No acreage or tract size is mentioned anywhere in their materials, so there's no stated minimum to go by here. This looks like a fit for a landowner who already has logs down or trees ready to come off their own land, and wants them turned into usable boards or slabs nearby, rather than someone looking for a timber buyer or a logging crew to harvest standing trees.
