Company History

Coastal Forest Products is and always has been committed to being "as independent as the dealers we support”.

"Coastal has been committed to partnering with independent lumberyards since 1983..."

In 1983, we started operations in Manchester, NH.  The old mill buildings in the Queen City allowed us a central location to support an independent dealer network throughout New England, Long Island, and Westchester County, NY.  The first several years focused on the distribution of western red cedar, douglas fir, and redwood.

Since our inception, we’ve expanded into many other categories, including; decking, siding, structural trellises, molding, and wood finishing.  Please see our electronic product catalog for a complete product listing.

Throughout our growth, we’ve maintained a commitment to our dealer network.  Each day we strive to further develop our long-term dealer relationships by providing quick answers, quality products, and top-notch services.  In the last few years, we’ve increased our staff over 40% with more sales, customer service, and drivers to better serve our dealers.     

In addition to our dedication towards our dealers, Coastal Forest Products is committed to the environment.  Please check out the green section of our site for full details.
