We provide matching accessories including floor transitions, reducers, and registers to complete installations.

Our mill produces custom architectural moldings in any wood species with unlimited profile options. We create crown molding, chair rails, fireplace mantels, and specialty trim to exact specifications. Stock profiles include over 200 designs in birch, poplar, and red oak, with capabilities for matching historic molding patterns or creating unique designs.

Called store made crystal clear what I wanted and asked for price, went to store and price was double what was quoted on phone, it's sad when people resort to this tactic

Customer services is professional, personal, friendly and the workers know what they are doing. Bob and Kevin spent lots of lots of time helping me create a mantle I love. I actually had fun working with them and recommend others to go here for their wood working needs.

Worst service EVER. We went into the store a couple of times asking for a quote for butcher block counters and still after 2 weeks no call with pricing as promised. This company has too much business for the capabilities. Search other sources for anything wood. It will be a better use of time.
