Siding

Siding

The right exterior siding sets your home apart. Choose from a variety of wood sidings — some rustic, some refined — and finish with a natural stain to bring out the wood's beauty, or leave it natural.

Paneling

Paneling

All of our paneling is kiln-dried and planed, available in a variety of widths and ready to install with minimal finish work. We can also make custom paneling from any of our kiln-dried stock.

Flooring

All of our flooring is kiln-dried, tongue-and-groove, planed, and back-relieved for stability — ready to install with minimum finish work. Boards are not end-matched, so installers can trim to fit.
