  • Quality Products. With the majority of our grade 1 lumber and resources being sent oversees for higher profits, the local quality standards in material grading has also been reduced over the last decade to increase domestic operation profitability. A lot of Distributors and Suppliers are also bringing in 'cheaper' & Inferior products from other countries that the newer generation of inexperienced builders has only been accustomed too. You will be glad to hear that Due West Carpentry & Renovations uses mostly 'Export' Grade materials from a network of proven distributors throught out the lower mainland that still adheres to similiar quality standards with a minimial cost differential.
