As the demand for lumber continues to increase worldwide, the process of sourcing had become more and more difficult. The natural beauty of North American hardwoods makes it the most desirable and sought after lumber on earth. As a result, prices increase and continue to rise, and the quality lumber becomes harder and harder to come by. That's where we come in. Did you know that collectively our staff has over 100 years of Lumber and Woodworking experience? That experience is not only our lifeblood but it offers a level of comfort and trust that our customers have come to rely on.
Services
At Colonial Hardwoods, along with our sister company J.C forest, inventories one of, if not the largest, selection of live edge slabs in the Washington D.C. & Mid-Atlantic area. Thanks to our extensive network of sawmill partners, we are able to offer some of the most incredible wood slabs that mother nature has to offer!
Did you know that Colonial Hardwoods can provide you with solid hardwood beams & timbers? That's right, for over 40 years Colonial Hardwoods has been providing Northern & Central VA customers just like you with massive hardwood beams & timbers custom cut to your size and specifications. Our years of experience have allowed us to build an extensive network of sawmills and suppliers that can custom manufacture beams & timbers to meet your project's needs.Sizes up to 12 x 12 are not uncommon and in some cases even larger!
At Colonial Hardwoods, we have long held the belief that Hardwood floors are much more than just a "floor covering". Most floor covering such as carpet, vinyl, and even tile can become damaged & worn over time. Year after year the signs of "wear and tear" become more and more obvious, or your floor covering may just fall out of vogue.

Great source for wood by the board foot & slabs. They're also great to prepare your lumber for a project ($30 min & charge for time) if you don't have a jointer, planer, or tablesaw required to surface & prepare your wood for projects. Even if I had the room in my house to put these tools, it's just easier & cheaper to pay them to do it than buy these machines.

Enjoyed the visit. It's pretty organized for anyone looking for something in particular. There's a main shop and then a side area of the core slabs and lumber. Lots to think about. Their work shop is closed for the public but it's just roped off so you can get a chance to see some massive machines in service. Staff all wanted to help and were okay with you just looking around and not pressuring you into anything. If I'm in the area or have a particular project and need a wood, I'm pretty sure they have it.

This is a nice break from the local big box store, and they carry a lot more wood than Woodcraft. Prices are a little more than the orange or blue guys, but that's to be expected. Their selection of exotics is great, with a bin or two of randoms. The staff was knowledgeable but not condescending to a novice woodworker like myself. I'll be back again for my next project.

Been coming here for three years and absolutely love it! Great selection, unmatched prices and friendly staff. If it wasn't for colonial hardwoods I wouldn't be as into woodworking as I am today. Thank you! They were always great to my daughter when she was with me as well. This is a top notch family run business.

Great selection of hardwoods and live edge slabs, I have never gone here and been disappointed. Pricing seems fair and all the lumber I have used from Colonial has always been high quality. Very friendly and helpful staff who provide a lot of advice and help if you're not an expert, this was particularly helpful when I bought some Bocote, which has very specific requirements for finishing, they saved me from ruining my slab!

New ownership, so disregard older reviews. Staff was very friendly and helpful, selection of domestic and exotic hardwoods was great for my purposes (amateur woodworker), price for the walnut I picked up seemed reasonable. The staff seems eager to promote their business. I'll return, as well as recommend to others.
