As a third generation lumberman, Hilde moved to New Hampshire shortly after graduating from forestry school in 1985 and went to work for one of the largest specialty lumber wholesalers in the Northeast.

Hands down the best experience of shopping I ever had. The price and quality of this beautiful douglas fir was unbelievable, not to mention the superior customer service, experience and deep knowledge of material. Mark is warm, friendly and knows his stuff better than anyone I have seen so far. I definitely found my favorite place to shop. I have no association with Mark, Just absolutely impressed with quality of service and material I received. I wish there were more people like him, would make the world a better place.

Bought yellow cedar shingles this morning-Mark was very helpful even if we did insist on getting a pretty large load onto our old truck! Great service.

I can't say enough wonderful things about this local business. I bought cedar decking for our farmer's porch and it was beautiful and great quality! The owner was so helpful! We are going to redo our floors next and most definitely we will be getting the flooring there too!

Worked with Mark/Uncle Hilde's to purchase cedar shakes to side a new summer cottage near Lake Winnipisaukee, and ended up with a very high quality product at very good price, plus all kinds of helpful advice on products selection, installation and also help with loading/unloading and delivery. Would definitely come here first for flooring/siding wood products needs.

Mark is easy to do business with- great advice, great products, and great pricing! Up front about what I would need to pick up and transport, helpful advice and hints for installation, and thorough follow-through. I know who to call for supplies for our next project! Thanks again Mark!

Mark is a true professional, and offers contractor quality goods at a bargain price. I bought both decking and shingles from him, and could not be more satisfied with the quality. He is also a gentleman and patient in giving advice. Good old fashioned value and service!

These guys rock! I needed some composite trim to replace some rotted boards on the exterior of my home; my builder got a great product at a great price! My next project will be to replace the composite railing on my deck as it's splitting. Had I gone to Uncle Hilde's to get my decking material in the first place, I wouldn't have to deal with this unexpected expense.

I won't make that mistake again. Professional and knowledgeable staff, you can always trust that you'll get a high quality product at the lowest price at Uncle Hilde's. Shop Local!

As my Eagle Scout project, I built a large garden fence at a local elementary school. I visited Uncle Hilde's to get lumber for the fence rails, which they sold to me at a significant discount. The people here are very helpful and knowledgeable, and they sell quality wood! I'd recommend Uncle Hilde's to anyone looking to buy lumber - especially prospective Eagle Scouts looking for a great deal on materials for their projects!

When we were building our store in Center Harbor, NH, I needed all types of lumber and flooring. Mark suggested Ponderosa pine bead board for the ceiling in the store and under the front porch. I also purchased Heart Pine flooring in 8, 10 and 12 inch widths. It all came out just the way I wanted. The guys at Uncle Hilde's really know their wood and the prices are hard to beat. I have a deck project coming up and I know where I will be getting the material. Thank you Uncle Hilde's.

I searched high and low for a product that was carried in stock by Uncle Hilde's Lumber Outlet. My initial email inquiry was promptly followed up with a phone call from a helpful salesperson who couldn't have been nicer. I drove 60 miles to Tilton and was very pleased to receive outstanding customer service along with my hard-to-find item sold at a surprisingly reasonable price. I highly recommend Uncle Hilde's in Tilton!

This business deserves 1000 stars, all of them Sirius (the brightest star in the sky). We drove all the way from Essex Junction, VT to purchase Azek decking because we could never afford to buy it at the big box stores. Great communication via email, and the wonderful staff help load and tie down our purchase in the trailer. We were not charged extra for cutting the boards to fit into the trailer.

In addition, we were able to buy the supplies we needed to install our deck. Great one stop shopping! I wish all my purchases for such projects could be conducted in this exceptional fashion. It is my sincerest wish that this company expand into Vermont. In the mean time, we will be letting other people know of this incredible gem in Tilton, NH, and if we have any further need for any type lumber projects, this is the first place we will go. Many blessing to Uncle Hilde's Lumber Outlet and it staff. May God grant your many prosperous years.
