Exterior Experience Now Supplying Wholesale Cedar

Exterior Experience Sawmill Now Supplying Wholesale Western Missouri Cedar to the St. Louis Region

ST. LOUIS, MO (STLPress.News) – Exterior Experience, a well-known fence and deck contractor based in the St. Louis area, has taken its expertise and entrepreneurial spirit to the next level with the expansion of its sawmill division. The company is now offering Western Missouri Cedar lumber to contractors, suppliers, and distributors across St. Louis and surrounding regions—on a wholesale basis.

This exciting development is reshaping the way local builders and retailers access high-quality cedar wood. With increasing demand for long-lasting, locally sourced materials, Exterior Experience has stepped in to fill a critical gap in the supply chain by producing and distributing cedar lumber from its own Missouri-based sawmill.


Cedar with a Story: A Contractor’s Path to Lumber Production

Unlike traditional sawmill operations that start with timber and work outward to sales, Exterior Experience began as a fence and deck installation company. After years of frustration with unreliable wood supplies and poor material quality, the company took matters into its own hands—literally. They invested in and built a sawmill to process Western Missouri Cedar specifically for their contracting projects.

That decision has since evolved into a new revenue stream and regional resource for builders across Missouri and Illinois. Today, the company not only uses this premium cedar in its own fence and deck builds but also provides it to the broader construction and landscaping industries through wholesale partnerships.


What Makes Western Missouri Cedar Stand Out?

Western Missouri Cedar—sometimes referred to as Eastern Red Cedar—is one of the Midwest’s most desirable woods for outdoor projects. Its reputation continues to grow thanks to its impressive list of benefits:

  • 🪵 Exceptional Durability: Naturally rot-resistant and capable of withstanding harsh Midwest weather.

  • 🌲 Aromatic and Pest-Resistant: Cedar’s natural oils repel insects and fungi, extending its lifespan.

  • 🎨 Beautiful Grain & Color: Rich reds and warm browns give outdoor projects a stunning, rustic look.

  • ⚒️ Easy to Work With: Its lightweight structure and consistent grain make it ideal for cutting, fastening, and finishing.

By sourcing timber locally and milling it in-house, Exterior Experience offers a level of quality control and product consistency that is rarely seen in mass-market lumber operations.
