Should I use a sawmill service? 2 Large Pine Trees

Like a lot of people, I lost 2 large pine trees yesterday. They are probably 70+ years old and straight as can be. Is is worthwhile to get a sawmill to come cut lumber out of this?
I am building a house in the next 6-12 months, so primarily I was curious if it was practical at all to use some of this wood for floors or something like that.
If not, I got my chainsaw ready to roll.
Lafayette area. Thanks!

What's your plan to dry it out?

Most of the time, it's not worth the effort for sawmills to handle one or two trees.
Perhaps if there is a wide swath of trees downed, someone may take them.
A lot still don't want them, because homeowners will hang bird feeders,etc on trees that can tear up the cutters at the sawmills

How wide are they? Also, once sawed up, you need a place to store the lumber.
Here is a link to people that do on site sawing.
