Gilkey Lumber Co Inc is a family owned hardwood lumber mill in Rutherfordton, North Carolina. It buys standing timber from landowners, and it also runs contract logging and gives forestry help. The company was started in 1954 by Jess Parton. It buys timber in Western North Carolina, Upstate South Carolina, and Eastern Tennessee, and has bought standing timber in western North Carolina and upstate South Carolina for over sixty years. Its harvests include clearcut, reforestation, and thinning jobs, plus harvests tied to new housing or business parks. For landowners who sell to it, the company can write a forest management plan and help with replanting. It also helps North Carolina owners apply for use tax valuation, which may reduce property tax while the land stays in forestry.

Harvesting is supervised on site, and payment is either up front or prompt pay as cut. To start, the company offers a "no cost, no obligation assessment" of your timberland, and a representative will set up a site visit.
