Pike Lumber - Testimonials

Dr. Howard and I would like to thank you for the ease and even pleasure of doing a cutting with all your crew and representatives. I realize, of course, that our timber contract (here on our clinic property on State Road 114) was a very tiny one and may not serve your memory at all. However, it is important to me that you understand our appreciation of professionalism and courtesy extended by J. H. Northrop, all your telephone people in the office, and especially your cutting and loading crew.

I spent the first 41 years of my life in south Louisiana, where soft pine is a huge timber crop. We were accustomed to clear cutting of pine forests. It was truly revolting and sickening and deserved the lingual endearment of "Land Rape!" Your company did no such thing in the least! What a pleasant surprise! On top of the care given to preserve the land and give it a true land management cut, all your personnel were kind and courteous. KUDOS!

Thanks ever so much and we will highly recommend your organization to any and all in the future to come. Dr. Bill N. Howard & Tammy Bone, Akron Animal Clinic

The Boys & Girls Club of Wayne County has been working with Kirk Jones of the Pike Lumber Company for over five years. Our relationship began through a referral from another landowner who had a positive experience with him. Our organization owns a 168-acre camp. Approximately 100 acres of the camp are timber stand, including some valuable hardwood. Working with Kirk, we were able to create a long-term management plan that included timber stand improvement, selected harvests, and improvement for camping purposes. Also, Kirk provided to our youth members the educational aspects of timber stand management. Kirk has been patient and productive in working with our board members, staff, and adjacent land owners. Kirk's attitude with us has always been one that promotes a long term relationship that is productive for all parties involved. He has erased all concerns we had regarding working within the timber industry. He has proven to be a good steward of our resources. We have been extremely pleased with our relationship with Kirk Jones as a representative of Pike Lumber Company.

Based on what I have seen, I would like to say this is the cleanest job of timbering I have ever seen. I will be happy to recommend you to other timber owners.

Not only did Paul Branch purchase timber from my family in 1993 and 1999, he was instrumental in helping me to purchase an 80 acre tract of land which has provided a great deal of recreation, plus some income.

When this place came up for sale, Paul walked through it with me and provided a rough estimate of the timber value. I used this information to determine the fair market value of the property. I have known Erick for as long as he has been with your company. He and Paul make a great team.

Paul Branch and Erick Nickerson treat my 50 year old family woods as if it were their own.

I chose Pike Lumber Company to manage my 35 acres of woodland primarily because the company has a reputation for woodland preservation and ecology. A Pike forester provided a detailed inventory of my trees and a plan for harvest that maintains the forest in optimum growing condition.

He is a degreed forester, knowledgeable and enthusiastic about Pike Lumber's approach.
Pike provides several management options to fit any landowner's goals. The primary harvest was timely and carried out just as he had described with a post cutting re-measurement and value calculation of all cut timber.
It's nice to know that I can profit from my forest ownership and still maintain a thriving, beautiful woods.

I was very pleased with the service and the prices we received for our timber from Pike Lumber Company.

Paul Myers did a very professional job of pricing and overseeing the job. I might add, we were pleasantly surprised with a larger check than estimated. I would recommend Paul Myers and Pike Lumber Company for anyone wishing to sell their timber.

Our experience with Pike Lumber was nothing less than exceptional. Every member of their organization from foresters to harvesters to the horse-drawn skidding crew to the log truck operators were friendly, professional, and courteous.

We appreciated their obvious concern for the welfare of our woods and property. We highly recommend the honesty and integrity of Pike Lumber Company.
