This is the only place in the DMV I go for hardwood lumber and Baltic Ply. Chris has a great selection that is well organized and easy to pick from. I contend he has the clearest and highest quality walnut in the US. Stop reading reviews and head on over!

I visited this place today. I had a wonderful experience. The owner, and his right hand man, were both extremely attentive to my needs. Their inventory and their prices are very competitive. I doubt you can find a better place to meet your hardwood lumber needs. It was only a 54 minute drive from the Tyson’s Corner area (corner of Rt 7 and Rt 495), well worth the extra distance.

I’ve been to most if not all of the lumber yards in northern Virginia, and several in Maryland. In my opinion, CP Johnson carries the best quality stock for the best prices in the entire area. It’s well worth the trip, even it if you have to drive a few extra miles to get there. It has become my default go-to store for rough lumber. Chris and Robert are knowledgeable and friendly and always make time to talk with me (and I’m just a small-time hobbyist woodworker). The main stock is incredible, and if you’re just looking for some smaller pieces or deals, the bargain bin can’t be beat.

I travel from DC every few months to CP Johnson and won’t go anywhere else for domestic hardwood. Excellent lumber at the best price you can find. Chris is friendly and helpful, and it is clear that he cares about running a quality business.

Great place to buy hardwood. Excellent prices, extensive inventory and great quality wood. Staff is very helpful and friendly.

Super clean and organised. Very friendly and knowledgeable staff.

Chris has really updated his warehouse and inventory since my last visit, to include a nice selection of exotic woods. Plenty of domestic hardwoods as well. Fantastic selection and quality – prices are fair. Boards on the racks are all good quality, and “seconds” are put in the bargain bin and are priced on-board (as opposed to by the board foot). Warehouse is kept clean and neat. Highly recommended for the home based as well as professional woodworkers.

First thing…the indoor yard is clean, well organized, and the quality of the lumber is absolutely fantastic. They have a huge selection of standard hardwoods as well as exotics and in varying, lengths, widths, and thickness. Chris was extremely kind, professional, and most importantly helpful. This is my new source for lumber. Go check them out, you won’t be disappointed. Best prices I’ve seen in this area.

I’ve never written a review before, but C.P. Johnson is too fantastic a place not to recommend.

Chris was beyond helpful, he showed me around and went out of his way to answer all of my questions. Not only was his selection the best and highest quality I’ve seen anywhere, the prices are incredible.

I will definitely be back on a regular basis.
