Framing Lumber | Plywood | Pressure Treated | SidingFraming Lumber
Douglas Fir or "Doug Fir" is the preferred framing lumber in northwest Connecticut because of its strength, dimensional stability and its cutting and nailing properties. We strive to stock high quality lumber and to do this, we communicate our needs to our suppliers and maintain a strong relationship with them. Our main suppliers are Weyerhaeuser and Sherwood Lumber.
For more information about the properties and harvesting of this great wood, check out the Western Wood Products Association page on Douglas Fir.

Quality Siding
Our cedar bevel siding, known in New England as "clapboard" is all clear vertical grain "CVG." Vertical grain is superior to flat grain in that it is less likely to split, curl or warp and it holds paint better. We stock CVG clapboards in ½ x 6, ½ x 8 and ¾ x 10. We also stock pre-primed CVG clapboards in ½ x 6. For tips on installing cedar siding, see the Western Red Cedar Lumber Association web site.
