As a Western Canadian cedar wood supplier, our brand symbolizes consistency. We strive daily to minimize variation from order to order, aiming for zero discrepancies. Our ongoing objective is to deliver products that enable customers to establish consistent programs with clients, maintain favorable cash flows, and eliminate guesswork when purchasing high-end Western red cedar products.
To communicate this brand message, we’ve adopted the slogan: On time. On grade. On budget. It’s Covered.
Our knowledge of the product mix and price levels of Western red cedar demanded in those markets is second to none. Our business is complex and we employ only sales people who fully understand the products we sell and the markets we service.
We always ensure there is at least one salesperson in the office Monday to Friday from 7am to 5pm to be available for you. We work all holidays that are not shared by both Canada and the US; so we’re here Canada day and the fourth of July!
At Powerwood, we’re a Zero Bullshit Zone. We don’t fake it to close a transaction. We build covenantal relationships rooted in honesty, trust, and real human connection.
When the workspace is clean, we can focus on safety and productivity. This is as true of a planer line as it is of an office or electronic filing system. If we keep things where they belong, our stress is lower, we make less mistakes and as a result, we are more productive and go home happier and healthier in body
and mind.
At Progress demands action, and sometimes the only way forward is to make the cut. By balancing diligence with decisiveness, we create an environment where smart risks are encouraged, mistakes become learning opportunities, and innovation thrives.
Specs guide us, but the grain tells the truth. At Powerwood, we don’t just process wood — we look at it, respect it, and bring out its best. We treat our numbers and our people the same way: results are only the headline. If outcomes fall short, we look deeper for the cause. If they exceed expectations,
we seek the full story — in the data, in the wood, and in each other.
At Powerwood, we show up without armor. Vulnerability builds trust, and trust makes us stronger. We encourage honesty over ego: it’s okay to say “I don’t know,” to share bad news early, or to admit when things don’t go as planned. Wins are celebrated together, not hoarded, because every success comes from the team, not just one person. By shedding our shells, we create a culture of openness, resilience,
and shared growth.
We give the tree a second life — Honoring the forest it came from by creating products that enhance the spaces they enter. Every tree we work with was extraordinary when standing. It sheltered wildlife, anchored the forest,
and gave life to the ecosystem around it. At Powerwood, we believe its second life should be just as meaningful. That’s why we craft products that don’t just use wood, but honor it — revealing its character, beauty, and strength. Our goal is for the spaces our products enter to be enhanced as much as the forests.
We aim for the customer’s standard, not the industry standard.
Our team is made up of knowledgeable individuals, all with lumber backgrounds. Most have spent time in operations and quality control and all have their grading tickets.
Along with knowing the products, our sales people know their markets. For years we have been active in
