Exterior Experience Sawmill Expands Wholesale Cedar Lumber Offering to St Louis and Surrounding Markets
ST. LOUIS, MO (StLouisFenceDeck) – Exterior Experience, a locally respected fence and deck contractor known for quality craftsmanship and integrity, is expanding its footprint in the wood products industry by offering Western Missouri Cedar on a wholesale basis. Contractors, builders, suppliers, and distributors across the St. Louis region and surrounding areas can now benefit from premium cedar lumber directly sourced and processed through the company’s in-house sawmill operation.
This strategic expansion serves as both a natural evolution of the company’s vertically integrated business model and a solution to the growing regional demand for quality cedar lumber for fencing, decking, and exterior construction projects.
From Contractor to Supplier: The Story Behind the Sawmill
Exterior Experience didn’t set out to become a wholesale cedar supplier. In fact, the sawmill was born out of necessity. As demand surged for premium-grade fencing and decking projects across Missouri and Southern Illinois, the company encountered repeated delays and inconsistencies in cedar lumber supply from traditional distributors. These material challenges not only affected project timelines but risked compromising quality—something the team at Exterior Experience wasn’t willing to accept.
Rather than settle for less, the company made a bold move: they launched their own sawmill, specializing in cutting Western Missouri Cedar, a species prized for its durability, natural insect resistance, and stunning appearance. By controlling the sourcing and processing, Exterior Experience ensured a steady, high-quality supply of cedar to fuel its contractor division—and now, they’re ready to share this resource with the wider construction community.
Why Western Missouri Cedar?
Western Missouri Cedar, also referred to as Eastern Red Cedar in some regions, is quickly becoming a top choice for builders, architects, and property owners across the Midwest. Here’s why:
- Durability: Cedar is naturally rot-resistant, making it ideal for outdoor applications like fences, decks, pergolas, and siding.
- Aesthetic Appeal: With its rich hues ranging from reddish-browns to deep amber, cedar creates a warm, natural look that enhances any landscape.
- Workability: Cedar is relatively lightweight and easy to cut, making it a contractor’s favorite for efficiency and precision.
- Pest Resistance: Naturally occurring oils in cedar make it resistant to termites and other wood-boring insects.
By sourcing this wood from Western Missouri forests, Exterior Experience supports local forestry economies while ensuring a sustainable, regional lumber supply that’s perfectly adapted to the Midwest climate.
