    To answer the question do you have southern pine floors
    08 Feb

    Delivery Cost

    Customer Bill of Rights

    What does it cost to ship, how much is shipping and depends on how much delivery cost- all part of of every new customer orientation to SYP Direct. Today, these questions are higher up concerns of everyone including us but not to worry SYP Direct is your VP logisitcs service. We do not consider an order a sucess until after installation much less without delivery. While we cannot help with overall inflation but despite higher cost, we are still offer our customers a direct path to the best wood floors which saves them (you) money compared to any local option.

    Remeber you are paying shipping on every product you buy, even in the box store and some of that stuff came from far far away.

    What is the delivery cost, or how much is shipping using our custom pallets?  The delivery cost of hardwood floors depends on a number of variables including length, weight, and markup, these are the shipping portion. At SYP Direct the delivery cost and shipping portion of the order hold as much importance as the quality of the wood. Why, you ask? Because if we sell you the best pine at the best price but it arrives busted up what does it matter, you cannot use it. So, at SYP Direct we build a custom pallet for your order, we understand the importance of protecting your floor.

    Delivery cost and waste factor

    Marketing square foot cost and actual cost are not the same. A price must include delivery, or the place where change of ownership occurs, such as warehouse. Nor does the cost of delivery mean anything without a guarantee of coverage, with a reasonable damage and or waste factor. The price means nothing if you have to re-order or worse, fall short. Part of our A+ rating comes from never being short, not hardly ever but never. A 100% coverage guarantee assumes we (homeowner or buyer) determined a total amount needed, i.e. waste factor, normally 10%.

     

    Truckload, half truck and hotshots all reduced delivery cost

    Other options include truckloads (and truckload pricing) between 10-15,000 square feet. Half trucks, self explanatory, and hotshots which are dedicated over and back. Now, most homeowners do not buy truckloads. However, many have purchased a half truck, sold the excess and got dream floor for free. And of course, retailers who enjoy mixing, for example, shiplap and tongue and groove patterns. These options, along with our VIP service before during and after shipping, we lower delivery cost.

    acclimation is about moisture content

    Maine 2020

    Advertised Cost Unfinished Floors

    The advertised cost of unfinished wood flooring, solid wood, means little without several variables. If I ask a mill about a certain grade of Oak, the first question will be about lengths- without that confirmation you are not getting a clear picture of the product. Advertising today is about creating new grade or term. Even more common, box stores ‘add to’, such as select knotty #2 pine. Waste factors, ease of installation, definition of defects, in other words the fine print can mean the (real) cost of your floor to skyrocket. Cheap does not pay, find out how to finance your dream floor. 

    Custom Pallets

    Less than truckload is the most commonly used mode when shipping floor coverings because it allows you to save money by sharing truck capacity with other shipments. When using LTL, the pitfalls are everywhere; some of them operate like “land pirates”. If one thing goes wrong, you are paying enormous fees. We understand which carriers to use and will always find the best rates. Furthermore, we  do not add 20%, the industry standard.

    Delivery Cost with long boards

    The shipping portion of the delivery cost for 7’ boxes or bundles tends to be lower than 10′ and 12′ boards. To be clear, wood floors refers to ¾ solid, all the way through, real wood. Unfinished hardwood Pallets shipped direct from a mill are long and heavy. The 7’ boxes have after market changes, i.e. prefinished or bevel, meaning the “further from the blade the more you paid.” Shipping long boards is our expertise, we have certain secrets to insure you have enough wood; we tell the truth about delivery cost.

    Remember we are a mill to order manufacturer of unfinished and prefinished Southern Pine, including our speciality Heart Pine. Our lead times are normally about two weeks, with Hardwoods and Imports the lead times vary and that is an understatement. 2 days -2 months has bee the answer since COVID. But things are imporving, as White Oak prices continue to fall. (Jason Howard 9/9/2022)

     

    Our custom pallets protect your freight, while guaranteeing your delivery cost. Furthermore, they make loading and unloading much easier for the carrier. The delivery cost of your floors means nothing as a number. Without the order arriving in tact, neither price or delivery cost are important. We use pine walls and a ceiling (from usable materials)to make our custom pallets”.  Pallet walls help protect your investment from tired forklift drivers, for example.  SYP Direct has 100% coverage and satisfaction guarantee; execution of your delivery carries the same importance as delivery price.  If your floors arrive beat up, what difference does a low price make?  Customers have created some very cool items from our pallets, including bars, doors, barn doors and even a chicken coup.

    Prescott Construction

    Wood Floor Shopping

    Prescott Construction, located in Roanoke, Virginia easily qualify as real wood experts and SYP Direct partners. Southern Yellow Pine Direct has no agreement with Prescott, nor do we profit other than informing other Virginia residents about our partners in the state.  It is simple, we market ourselves as  the homeowner resource and introducing VA to Prescott construction  is part of our model. Sure we are bragging, but we are also validating your search for real wood and hopefully our Southern Pine floors.

    Prescott Philosophy

    It is not what we do, it is the way we do it. “Over the years we’ve managed to build, along with our many projects, a reputation for impeccable craftsmanship and attention to detail. We specialize in residential and commercial construction, new custom homes, and historic renovations and rehabilitation’s. It’s not just the work itself we take pride in, but the way we do it.”

    Prescott Construction uses Real wood

    Real wood kitchens are a perfect example Prescott Construction does business. Most customers are unaware, 90% of builders and professionals in Virginia would have pushed the customer towards an engineered floor, or tile in the kitchen. Why? Higher margins, easier installation and most customers believe that is the best choice for a kitchen. It simply is not true, not for real wood professionals who understand the process and how much value they add by giving you a real wood kitchen.

    Contact Prescott Direct

    Restorations in Virginia

    In Virginia a restoration or renovation can mean taking the property back in time, or in can be a blend of modern updates and the past. From what we have observed Prescott Construction is integral in the design and planning process, acting as consultants. Matt Prescott, told us during our first conversation that “each client gets 100% of our attention, no matter the size or scope of project”. Upon hearing this, we knew we wanted to work with this company, they get it.

    Find an expert when matching an old pine floor

    One of the keys when attempting to match an existing pine floor, the right materials. Sounds simple enough until you realize the amazing things mother nature can do with time. Have you ever seen a hundred-year-old floor below the existing finish? The short answer, they get better looking with age; meaning each time you refinish it, the patina and colors are darker. Therefore, the question how to match an existing pine floor hinges on choosing the correct materials, i.e., grain pattern, grain type, Knots (if so sizes), and the amount (if any) of heart pine.

    Project Homecoming New Orleans

    Project Homecoming is a faith-based community development organization building resilient neighborhoods in the greater New Orleans area.

    Meet Virginia

    Wood Floor Shopping

    For some Virginia installation professionals and VA Builders SYP Direct is secret to be kept from Virginia homeowners. For a variety of reasons some (more than 1 in 2) Virginia builders choose not to share photos of a specific job. However, mentioning their business name as a partner, not a problem when you call us. Since 2014, we have delivered over 200,000 square feet of unfinished pine to homeowners. VA residential deliveries rank in our top 5 every year. And the state boast SYP Direct’s largest number of professional partners. Over the years, we have provide materials for a number historic restorations. Including a train station, a corporate retreat, barndominiums, a wedding chapel, and the coolest wall you have ever seen. So when we call ourselves local, it is because we were there every step of the way with all of these customers.

    Virginia Installation Professionals

    Installation professionals differ from VA Builders within our terminology but they are in many instances one in the same. As you search, we can help but one key to remember, time is money and real wood takes time. Today with manufactures pushing LVT , finding an installer willing to work with your unfinished floors can be tough without our help. We have dozens of installation professionals in Virginia who will use our materials creating your floor. However more than half of them will not share our name or site. Unless,you find us yourself or ask for us by name. The moral of this story, do your own research as this is your investment.

    VA repeat customers

    “We found SYP online and called to get more information, which is what we got, for sure. We had no idea the differences in pine and how much different their floors were than the ones we found locally. After seeing samples side by side, the was no question which floor we were going to buy and we are so glad that we did. We love our Knotty Pine and the amazing colors. Thanks SYP” (Carol V Roanoke VA)

    Pioneer Log and Timber

    Walls and Other

    Pioneer log and timber is a custom log home and lodge builder in Montana; what a perfect place to find out how pine handles cold weather. PLT builds the the most amazing log homes you will ever see, no cookie cutters or kits. At Pioneer they are fond of saying; “while it does not take a long time to make a great log home, it does take a long time to learn how to make a home great.” Headquartered in Montana’s scenic Bitterroot Valley, the management team has over 250 years of combined experience in building log and timber frame structures. “We know all the custom homes we’ve built – we remember them all and they are still important to us.” Jay Pohley, Founder Pioneer Log and Timber

    April 3rd 2020- If you are interested in a log cabin kit or talking with a project manager, give us a quick call or email. It does not matter where you live, it certainly doesn’t have to be Montana, SYP Direct can help you build it.

    Not your Grandfathers Cabin

    Log “cabins” and Log homes have come a long way on the trip from woods to the suburbs. Referring to Pioneer Log and Timber structures as cabins is very misleading. Established 1976, PLT of Mt has been at the forefront of this new demand for luxury rustic log homes. Chateaus or Retreats are probably better terms, but popularity of this “style” has skyrocketed. Scott Rouleau of New York City-based J. Rouleau & Associates does marketing consulting for the log home industry. “The industry is booming, unlike the housing industry,” says Rouleau. “Log home manufacturers are getting many calls from architects. The companies I work with can’t build them fast enough—it’s amazing.”

    One log at a time

    Pioneer Log & Timber, each home crafted in Montana for construction anywhere in North America. And each one is custom. PLT does not sell kits, or plans. They build your home just for you, while keeping budget and timeframe in mind. Pioneer Log & Timber is one of the most selective log home and timber frame builders in North America. We select every log we use one at a time and cut each by hand. The core philosophy is to take care of the environment from which we source our logs.

     

    Montana Lodge builders stresses sustainability

    “Being headquartered in Montana, it’s one of our goals to make the forests sustainable. The same old logging and harvesting techniques aren’t good enough today. Those widespread legacies of environmental damage are proof of that we must do better. Tougher environmental standards exist in American forests than they do in Canada and other places. We’ve always believed in using American timber, with American craftsmen to craft and build the best log and timber homes on the planet. ” (Pioneer Log and Timber website 2019)- SYP Direct comment (March 2020); PLT of MT builds homes that will outlive the owners, plus two generations. How many fake floors or cheap materials will be torn out and replaced during that 150 years?

    PLT not just in Montana

    PLT of Montana has built thousands of log and timber frame structures − including resorts like Big Cedar Lodge near Bronson, MO, and Elk Creek Ranch in Colorado. Along with complete structures PLT created the log timbers for Bass Pro Shops in the United States, and in Canada.

    If you thinking about a log home of any kind, Pioneer Log & Timber is the place to start. They will outline the entire project for you, from finding an architect, to the design, and even finding a local builder who can re-assemble your custom home. For more information about PLT – give them a call 406-961-3273.

    Real wood floors are Green

    Ask most environmentalist about using real wood for  flooring, for example, and you will get a lecture. Unfortunately, the lecture will not offer the big picture. The alternative to real wood, all of it, ends up in landfills. Real wood is reclaimed one day, only to become another floor, a much more expensive floor by the way. So before you buy into “leasing” a floor cover because it is friendly to environment, please do the research or call us because we have already done it.

    Pine Flooring Delivery means shipping nationwide maintaining A+ rating

    The A+ BBB rating is great, but when you understand all that we actually do, including the inherent problem of misinformation, that A+ is truly remarkable. About 2/3 of calls and emails come from folks in parts of the country that do not understand that Southern Yellow Pine is not a species.  We must deprogram some misconceptions, it is part of the process. We offer unlimited questions, answered with no agenda, i.e. all floors have the same margins. The A+ rating we carry with the BBB is because we never overlook any step in the sales process. The delivery part of this transaction is really the key to its success.  Price per square foot does not matter is; its junk, you are short boards, or they arrive busted up.  Our 100% coverage guarantee mandates that we protect the tongue on every board, that is only accomplished with our custom pallets.
