WELC has all the lumber needs for older homes. I have used them for porch flooring tongue and groove and stock. I highly recommend them.

Home depot recommended I come here to replace a few pieces of hardwood floor from my century home. They sold me a small amount and were super helpful answering some questions I had about my wood doors as well.

Just stopped in there today. They were very helpful and had a higher quality of lumber than Home Depot or Lowe's. They also charge a lot less. Plus they helped me load the 10 - 6x8s into the back of my truck. Great place, I will send people here and be there again!
