About William A. Day Jr. & Sons Logging & Firewood
William A. Day Jr. & Sons Logging & Firewood is a firewood supplier serving Porter, Maine and the surrounding region. The company specializes in mixed hardwoods sourced from local logging operations, offering delivery directly to residential customers.
Hardwoods are the standard choice for Maine heating because they burn longer and produce significantly more heat than softwoods. Oak delivers 24–28 million BTU per cord, while hickory reaches 27–30 million BTU per cord—critical metrics if you're relying on firewood for supplemental or primary heat. The key to maximizing that heat output is moisture content: wood should be seasoned to around 20% moisture or lower before burning. Wet or green wood wastes energy on evaporation and creates excessive creosote buildup in chimneys, a serious fire hazard.
The company offers firewood delivery, which eliminates the logistics of sourcing, transporting, and unloading cords yourself. A full cord measures 128 cubic feet (4 ft high × 8 ft long × 4 ft deep); many customers start with a half-cord or quarter-cord to test burn quality and measure consumption before committing to larger orders. Typical pricing for seasoned hardwood in the Porter area ranges from $250–$350 per cord, depending on wood species mix and delivery distance.
With a 4.4-star rating across 28 reviews, the business has established a track record serving the local community. For firewood delivery to Porter or nearby areas, contact William A. Day Jr. & Sons at (207) 625-8181 to discuss your heating needs, delivery windows, and current wood availability.

"Perfect...delivered on exactly the scheduled day, in the right spot, and they covered it with a tarp for us. The wood gets SIX stars.....dry, dry, dry, tumbled and insect free, burns fantastic!"
"Used them for years, no issues. Good cuts, minimal scraps. Great service. Writing this review because on my latest delivery I asked for a very specific location for the drop - showed up to find the cord in the exact spot, just a hair from the walkway. Perfection."
"Ordered wood a few weeks ago, when I called to ask when they'd be delivering it on delivery day, Tomorrow, Jan 3rd, they sent someone right out with the best seasoned wood, we've ever burned in this fireplace . No more green wood for us!! Thank you Dave's wood!! Great price, great customer service!!"
"Jay Forester, Day Logging’s project manager, strung me along all summer and fall. Would not return my phone calls for weeks. Then at the last minute, told us that Day Logging was not interested and leaving the area, ( they had some moose hunting to do) leaving us high and dry. Jay tried to blame us for not getting back him, then said it was equipment issues, after telling my wife he would pull all the permits required. then, told me it was too late to pull permits! Just total B.S. and excuses. Jay is not only not very professional but has no respect for other peoples time. I would highly recommend looking elsewhere for any tree removal you may be looking to have done. At least they didn’t run over my dog."
"Very happy with everything they did . From the Forester to the woodcrew. I will have them back again"
