Services
Treated Lumber
Our pressure-treated lumber undergoes advanced preservation processes to resist decay, insects, and environmental damage. Using micronized copper azole and alkaline copper quaternary treatments, we produce durable materials for decks, fences, and structural applications. Products meet AWPA standards and carry limited warranties for residential and agricultural use, with retention levels from .06 to .31 based on application requirements.
Marine Pilings
We supply saltwater-resistant timber for marine infrastructure, including docks, piers, and bulkheads. Our UC4B-rated Southern Yellow Pine pilings and durable Greenheart hardwood options withstand harsh coastal conditions. Available in various dimensions and treatment levels, these materials meet federal highway specifications for fresh and saltwater environments.
Guardrail Systems
Our pre-milled guardrail posts comply with state and federal highway safety standards. We offer mortised and chamfered components for quick installation, along with custom milling options for commercial projects. The product line includes rails, posts, and hardware engineered for impact resistance and long-term durability in transportation infrastructure.
Vinyl Fencing
We distribute premium vinyl fencing products with aluminum reinforcement for enhanced strength. Our offerings include privacy, semi-privacy, and picket styles in multiple color options. Features include UV-resistant formulations, impact modifiers, and lifetime transferable warranties, making them ideal for residential and commercial perimeter solutions.
Wood Preservation
Our treatment processes extend wood longevity through waterborne preservatives that protect against decay fungi and termites. Using Koppers and MicroPro technologies, we apply micronized copper formulations that maintain material integrity while minimizing environmental impact. Treated products maintain compliance with building codes and offer corrosion performance similar to untreated wood.
