Custom Millwork
Our custom millwork services transform raw materials into precision-crafted components. Using advanced CNC routing technology and traditional techniques, we create bespoke mouldings, trim, box mantels, and beams tailored to specific architectural requirements. This service caters to both modern construction projects and historical restoration work, ensuring dimensional accuracy and material compatibility while maintaining the natural beauty of wood.
Reclaimed Wood
Sourcing and processing wood from deconstructed buildings and industrial sites, our reclaimed wood program preserves historical materials while promoting environmental responsibility. Each piece retains unique patina and character, ideal for decorative applications requiring distinctive aesthetics. We offer various species and finishes, supporting LEED certification goals through documented chain-of-custody and sustainable sourcing practices.
Exotic Lumber
We provide a curated selection of rare hardwoods from global sources, including certified sustainable options. This inventory supports specialty projects requiring unique grain patterns, density characteristics, or coloration. Our exotic lumber undergoes strict quality control to meet dimensional stability standards, with technical specifications available for architectural applications needing specific performance attributes in furniture making and high-end millwork.
In-Stock Mouldings
Maintaining the region's largest moulding inventory with over 10,000 items, we offer immediate solutions for common and specialty profiles. This extensive selection covers traditional architectural styles and contemporary designs, available in multiple wood species and composite materials. Our inventory management system ensures consistent availability of popular profiles while allowing customization through in-house production capabilities for unique requirements.

As a certified FSC chain-of-custody supplier, we guarantee responsible sourcing practices for environmentally conscious projects.

Amazing woods! I completed my first of many to come projects made with Sears Trostel wood. They were very helpful and the wood is very high quality.
