Western Red Cedar Independent studies prove that when it comes to environmental performance, natural wood is superior to synthetic products in every way. While other building materials generate greenhouse gasses, western red cedar actually removes greenhouse gasses from the atmosphere. And unlike brick, cement, and composites, Real Cedar is renewable and biodegradable. All cedar forests are strictly managed to ensure that cedar remains one of the most sustainable building products available. In fact, well less than 1% of available Cedar is logged in a given year, and we have more cedar trees today than in history. When you choose cedar, you're choosing to be green.

WANTED:

Hard working carpenters that are passionate about their craft.

Most of our contractors are affiliated with our existing dealer network, but we are always looking for additional contractors. Our hard skill requirements are pretty standard - have at least two years experience in the field, own all the necessary equipment, be adept at estimating and quoting, and exhibit a degree of precision work that the most discerning customer would expect. But the soft skills that we demand are very critical - excellent customer service, operate and update an active social media account, shoot high-quality photographs of completed projects, and have a micro-network of reliable tradesmen, including painters, electrical, and HVAC. If you think you have the skills to join our network, let's talk.
