Our story
Started with a saw. Built on a reputation.
Coldstream Lumber has operated out of the same location in Coldstream, BC for over 75 years. It began as a sawmill and planing operation — turning local timber into usable lumber — and over the decades it grew into a full-service lumber mill producing both custom orders and proprietary products.
Today that means wood access mats and steel-and-wood rig mats for industry, heat-treated export pallets and custom crating for shippers, furring strips and a public retail yard for builders and homeowners, and custom millwork for anyone with a spec in hand. The machines have changed. The address, and the standards, have not.
"There is no substitute for hard work. There is no such thing as an overnight success."
The long version, short
