Lumber milling
Barr Construction & Restoration takes great pride in milling our own finish lumber, trim, log poles, beams, and other embellishment for our projects.
We often remove trees from properties prior to construction that are in the way of buildings or roads while saving the nicest trees for the future Old Growth Forest. We also purchase logs from small local logging companies and arborists, often obtaining unique old-growth specimens logged due to hazardous growing conditions.
Our lumber mill fits right in with the resource conservation of today’s “green building” while providing a superior exquisite product, specially tailored for each client’s style and home’s design.
