WINDSOR PLYWOOD

We specialize in hard-to-source interior and exterior home finishing products including flooring, doors, mouldings and especially wood products.

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 of our customers. We are proud to have been in business 50 years with stores across Canada and in the Pacific Northwest region of the United States. Our Airdrie location is independently owned and operated.

Our Shop provides a full range of interior and exterior pre-hung door units, as well as custom machining and cutting of door slabs. The Shop also builds and finishes mantles, cabinets and butcher block counter tops. We try to service most reasonable requests that are asked of our Shop from our customers. The Carpenter is responsible for the construction & finishing of projects, ordering, replenishment, shop cleaning & safety, transfers, and inventory control. The Shop Carpenter is driven to produce high quality results that create positive impressions for customers using the services of the Shop.
