Services
Custom Milling
We create specialized wood profiles including tongue-and-groove patterns, log cabin logs, and beaded ceiling materials. Our capabilities extend to precision timber framing components and custom scrolling work. With advanced milling equipment, we produce exact specifications for architectural and structural applications requiring non-standard profiles.
Pressure Treating
Our treatment processes protect timber against decay in various environments. We apply ACQ solutions at .25 retention for above-ground use and CCA treatments up to 2.5 retention for saltwater exposure. This includes specialized formulations for foundation pilings, seawalls, and marine fender systems requiring maximum durability in harsh conditions.
Piling Supply
We supply marine-grade pilings in diameters from 6T to 60B and lengths up to 75 feet. Our inventory includes options for freshwater, saltwater, and soil contact applications. Each piling meets specific load-bearing requirements while maintaining dimensional stability in challenging environments through proper treatment selection.
DOT Certified Manufacturing
As an FDOT-certified facility, we produce guardrails and fender systems meeting state transportation specifications. Our quality control processes ensure compliance with engineering standards for roadside safety systems and bridge protection components requiring precise fabrication tolerances.
Timber Fabrication
Our fabrication services include beveling, drilling, and precision end trimming for structural components. We handle complex modifications like scrolling and cut-to-length operations for architectural elements while maintaining structural integrity in load-bearing applications.
