Our Headquarters in the Heart of Hampton Roads
Norfolk Lumber operates from 124 Murray Rd in Virginia Beach, Virginia — a 10,000-square-foot lumber yard situated in the industrial corridor near the Chesapeake Bay waterfront. This is where we receive, grade, process, and store the reclaimed lumber that ends up in homes, restaurants, offices, and public buildings across the Mid-Atlantic. As a Virginia Beach business, we are deeply invested in the growth and character of this coastal city.
Virginia Beach is the most populous city in Virginia and one of the fastest-growing metro areas on the East Coast. With a coastline stretching from the Chesapeake Bay to the Atlantic Ocean, the city has a unique mix of beach resort architecture, military housing near Naval Air Station Oceana, suburban developments in Kempsville and Great Neck, and historic neighborhoods in the Pungo and Sandbridge areas. Each of these contexts creates different demand for lumber — and reclaimed wood fits all of them.
Walk-In Yard & Same-Day Pickup
Because our yard is right here in Virginia Beach, local customers enjoy advantages that no one else in our service area can match. You can drive over to 124 Murray Rd during business hours (Monday through Friday, 7 AM to 5 PM; Saturday, 8 AM to 2 PM), walk the stacks, hand-select your boards, and load them into your truck the same day. There is no shipping delay and no delivery fee when you pick up in person.
For contractors working on projects at the Oceanfront, in Town Center, or along Shore Drive, our location is less than 20 minutes from most job sites. Need material delivered instead? Local delivery within Virginia Beach typically arrives the same day or next business day, depending on the size of the load and our truck schedule.
Neighborhoods & Projects We Serve
Virginia Beach is not one place — it is dozens of distinct communities, each with its own building character. In the resort area along Atlantic Avenue, reclaimed wood shows up as accent walls in boutique hotels and restaurant fit-outs along the boardwalk. In Chic's Beach and Bay Colony, homeowners use reclaimed heart pine flooring to bring warmth to waterfront renovations. Out in Pungo, where old farmhouses dot the agricultural reserve, we supply barn-wood siding and hand-hewn beams for authentic restorations.
The ViBe Creative District near 17th Street has become a hub for artisan studios and small businesses, many of which use reclaimed lumber for shelving, counters, and storefront buildouts. Town Center's mixed-use developments have incorporated reclaimed timber into lobby features and common-area design. Even the new construction going up in Nimmo Parkway and Princess Anne Commons often specifies reclaimed accents to differentiate from cookie-cutter builds.
Virginia Beach Quick Facts
Services Available Locally
Virginia Beach customers have access to our full range of services without any of the logistics overhead that comes with distance. Beyond buying reclaimed lumber off the rack, you can commission custom milling and pick up finished material within days. If you have a demolition or renovation project, our demolition and salvage crew can be on your Virginia Beach site quickly, often within 24 to 48 hours of scheduling.
We also offer on-site consultation for Virginia Beach homeowners and builders who want expert guidance on species selection, grading, and installation best practices. Whether you are restoring a 1920s bungalow in Old Beach or building a new deck in Red Mill, we can visit your site and help you plan materials.
Sustainability in Virginia Beach
Virginia Beach has set ambitious goals around environmental resilience, driven in part by its vulnerability to sea-level rise and coastal flooding. The city's comprehensive plan emphasizes green building practices, stormwater management, and reducing construction waste. Reclaimed lumber aligns directly with those goals: every board we salvage is one that does not end up in the Hampton Roads Sanitary District landfill, and every reclaimed beam we sell is one less old-growth tree harvested.
Local builders pursuing LEED or National Green Building Standard certification can earn credits by specifying reclaimed materials. We provide documentation of species, source, and chain of custody to support those applications. Virginia Beach's growing network of green builders — many of whom we count as repeat customers — is proof that sustainability and quality craftsmanship go hand in hand.
