Chatham Milling Company
About Chatham Milling Company
Chatham Milling Company is a sawmill business based in Pittsboro, North Carolina. They run a portable bandsaw mill and put it plainly: "We can mill at our yard or in yours." So if you've got logs down, or timber you're clearing off your own land, they'll come to you or you can bring the logs to them. They work in oak, hickory, pine, maple, pecan, poplar, and sycamore. Besides the milling itself, they also do custom carpentry and project management, where they line up contractors, get bids, and keep an eye on the work for you. The owner, Cory Edwards, brings years in residential construction and project management, and the business notes OSHA 30 hour Safety in Construction training. Their milling service covers a 25-mile radius around Pittsboro in Chatham County and a 25-mile radius around Ellerbe in Richmond County, with projects outside that considered too. Carpentry and project management are offered within 25 miles of Pittsboro. Overall they describe serving Chatham, Lee, Moore, and Richmond counties and the areas around them. Pricing is laid out plainly: mobilization and setup is $350, and milling runs $85 an hour from the first log on the mill to the last board off. They don't currently offer kiln-drying, though they can handle getting your lumber to and from a kiln. This fits a landowner who already has logs on the ground, or who's clearing land and wants that timber turned into usable lumber rather than sold standing, and who might also want help managing the building project that comes after.
