NHLA employs a full-time staff of highly trained hardwood lumber inspectors in the U.S. and Canada. These inspectors work exclusively for NHLA to help evaluate, educate and train employees in inspection rules to improve their grading competency. National inspectors may also inspect lumber prior to shipment to protect the shipper against complaints, or inspect lumber at its destination to monitor incoming quality for a buyer. They also serve as impartial experts to settle disputes between buyer and seller. Scroll down for a complete list of services, costs and benefits.
