Stop checking three websites to find one lumber price. TruAries Sourcing compares dimensional lumber, plywood, OSB, and pressure-treated wood across 20+ suppliers instantly — so you can bid faster and win more jobs.
Dimensional lumber — 2×4s, 2×6s, 2×8s and beyond — is the most frequently purchased material on any job site. Prices fluctuate with commodity markets, so comparing suppliers before you buy saves real money. On TruAries Sourcing you can search across Home Depot, Lowe's, 84 Lumber, Menards, and regional suppliers in seconds.
Common lumber types: Structural framing lumber (SPF, Douglas Fir), pressure-treated lumber for exterior and ground contact, plywood and OSB subfloor sheathing, LVL beams and engineered wood, and cedar or redwood for decks and fencing.
Typical price ranges: 2×4×8 studs run $3–$7 depending on grade and market conditions. 4×8 OSB sheathing typically runs $15–$35 per sheet. Pressure-treated 2×6×16 often lands between $18–$30. Prices swing with mill output and housing demand — always compare before ordering.
Buying tips for contractors: Buy in unit quantities (bundles of 80 or 294 per bundle) to unlock contractor pricing. Ask about mill-direct or LBM distributor accounts for high-volume jobs. Check moisture content — kiln-dried lumber warps less on the job site. For structural applications, verify grading stamps (No. 1, No. 2, Stud grade).
