    Canadian Craftsmanship  The Industry Standard

    We partner with Mercier because they have pioneered prefinished technology for over 45 years. By managing the entire process under one roof from their own sawmill to the final UV curing they provide a level of consistency we rarely see in the industry. We recommend their Hard Maple and White Oak selections for Michigan homes that require both elegance and extreme durability.
