Our Stores specialize in hard-to-source interior and exterior home finishing products including flooring, doors, mouldings and specialty wood products. Our business model is also very different as most of our locations are family affairs - independently locally owned and operated - not top-down like most franchise groups. We carry high quality, responsibly sourced products and are committed to providing outstanding value and personalized, one-on-one service to all our stores. We are proud to have been in business 50 years with over 60 stores across Canada and into the Pacific Northwest of the United States.
