Timber Buyers, Loggers & Mills in Jefferson County (1)
This buyer is based in Jefferson County. Being close matters: hauling is one of the biggest costs taken out of your check.
DeNoon Lumber Co, also written DeNoon Lumber, is a timber buyer and sawmill business in Bergholz, Ohio. They buy standing timber and logs, run their own logging crews, and mill the wood themselves, working in Jefferson County. They take on red oak, white oak, cherry, poplar, ash, hard and soft maple, red and grey elm, hickory, and walnut. A sale starts with a free estimate of what your standing timber is worth. They say they "pay all money in advance at contract signing," and property lines are established before any cutting starts. Their crews do selective cutting rather than clearing a stand, and they state their loggers are state certified. They don't give a minimum acreage in acres, but they offer a rule of thumb for whether a stand is worth a look: if you can't reach around a tree and touch your fingers, or if the timber runs 16 inches or more at chest height, it's probably worth getting an estimate. DeNoon has been in this trade a long time, tracing back to "a small family operation 50 years ago" that grew into a hardwood producer shipping product out of Appalachian hardwood country. Beyond buying and logging, they also run a mill, so the same company that marks and harvests your timber can turn it into lumber on the other end. This fits a landowner in Jefferson County, Ohio with a hardwood stand of decent-sized trees, who wants one outfit to handle the buying, the cutting, and the payment terms up front.

How much is my timber worth in Jefferson County?
Nobody can tell you what your timber is worth without walking it. Value depends on the species, the size and grade of the trees, how thickly they stand, the ground conditions and how easily a logger can reach them. Anyone who quotes you a figure without seeing the land is guessing, and a guess in that direction is rarely in your favour.
What stumpage value means →Do I need a forestry consultant to sell timber in Jefferson County?
You do not have to use one. A consulting forester works for you rather than the buyer, marks the timber, runs a sealed-bid sale and typically charges a percentage of the sale. Research from several state extension services has found that timber sold through a consultant often returns enough more to cover the fee, though results vary by tract and by market. The decision usually turns on the size of the sale and whether you have sold timber before.
