Vintage Log & Lumber Inc

What Vintage Log & Lumber Inc does

Vintage Log & Lumber, Inc. is a privately held West Virginia corporation founded in 2004 and headquartered at 578 Glen Ray Rd., Alderson, in Greenbrier County, Southern West Virginia. The company specializes in salvaging, relocating, and reconstructing antique log structures and supplying reclaimed Appalachian lumber. Operating as a small company of craftsmen (1–10 employees), it locates, purchases, dismantles, numbers with metal tags, and moves antique log cabins and timber frame barns (English threshing barns, bank barns, carriage houses, grist mills) to customer sites, then reconstructs them. Local delivery is included in pricing; cross-country delivery is arranged via tractor trailer.

The firm's product set spans antique hand-hewn log cabins (dogtrot, saddlebag, full two-story), timber frame barns, antique lumber and beams (Chestnut, Oak, Poplar, Pine, Beech, Hickory, Maple, Walnut, Cherry, Ash, Locust, Hemlock), Chestnut split rail fencing, salvaged fireplace mantels (1840s antique, hand-hewn chestnut, faux grain), stone chimneys in sandstone or limestone, and a wide range of salvaged building components. Underlying craftsmanship relies on traditional notching and joinery — V-notch, half dovetail, square notch, mortise and tenon — together with metal-detector scanning, denailing, and air-drying of lumber for 60+ years. Custom sawing and resawing services convert antique beams into flooring or dimensional lumber.

Revenue is generated through direct-to-consumer, transaction-based sales. Pricing is largely quote-based; lumber specials list per-board-foot prices (e.g., $1.25–$2.50/BF). All sales are conducted via toll-free phone (877 OLD-LOGS), email ([email protected]), or a website request form that doubles as a mailing-list opt-in for monthly inventory updates. There is no e-commerce checkout. Target buyers are individual property owners restoring or relocating historic log structures, artisans and woodworkers, hospitality operators converting barns into B&Bs/restaurants, and homestead owners seeking period-appropriate split rail fencing.
