Dykes Lumber Company

In the quiet stretches off Tonnelle, Dykes Lumber Company shows what a no-frills yard still does best. Beneath the elevated trains and stacked pallets out front, the wood aisle runs deep enough for any deck project. From pressure-treated foundations and fire-retardant plywood to dimensional framing lumber and exterior siding, the racks are swapped as neighborhood builds expand.

Special orders for hardwood flooring and stair treads arrive every other week, letting homeowners match existing trim without tracking every remnant in stock. A separate section carries OSB sheathing and ZIP system panels for quick sheathing jobs, while the fasteners aisle keeps nails, screws, and staples lined up by gauge and thread count. Always keep the saw blades and router bits in one end aisle before hauling to the trucks.

Between deliveries you can reach the yard line at (201) 867-0391 for quick stock checks once you’re rolling through the yard’s wide lanes. Builders pulling in after hours typically take the side gate marked Cash/Credit so the front counter stays clear for walk-up needs.

Grab the map before you leave: directions drop you at 6001 Tonnelle Ave in North Bergen exactly where the sawdust blends with the train hum.
