About Us
Our History
At Custom Milling, we are a small, family-run business that provides quality lumber and construction to the people of Vancouver. All of our wood products are quality-controlled and graded; when combined with our fine craftsmanship, our team has the means to meet the needs of any custom request and exceed industry standards. But first, how did we get started in this business?
It all started with company president, Richard Taves. Throughout his life, Richard has been passionate about falling trees and cutting lumber. After dedicating over 20 years to learn the world of woodworking, his hobby quickly grew into the company we are today.
Throughout our years in business, Custom Milling has developed strong relationships with suppliers, contractors, mills, and lumber distributors throughout Canada. Not only has this improved our quality of work, but it has also allowed us to offer high-grade materials and unmatched workmanship to our clients. Learning the standards of this industry and striving to offer even better has kept our company on the cutting-edge. With our team’s high levels of expertise, experience, and passion for the lumber industry, we guarantee that our clients receive nothing but the best.
Run out of the West Coast, our home-based business offers custom-cut cedar lumber and state-of-the-art residential and commercial installation. No matter how large or complex the project may be, our team has the skill and commitment needed to give clients the peace of mind they deserve. When people rely on Custom Milling, they are relying on a company who loves what they do. The results? Long-lasting and reliable craftsmanship that’s practical, beautiful, and native to the West Coast.
