Pioneer Millworks

The storied-character of reclaimed wood, the sleekness of sustainably harvested fresh-sawn, or an environmentally-conscious engineered variety—we have over 80 options to fit your project’s palette. With over 30 years of experience crafting flooring, paneling, siding, and custom woodworking from our mills in New York & Oregon, our goal is to get you quality reclaimed and sustainable wood products with the shortest lead times in the industry. Truly custom or one of our standard products—call us and let’s get started creating your vision. We do well when we do good: Based on a simple belief that people, planet, and profit work together to ensure a better future, Pioneer Millworks operates on the triple bottom line. We strive to keep our carbon footprint small; our roofs house 100kW solar arrays and our wood scraps keep us warm. One percent of our reclaimed teak sales are donated to conservation causes on the island of Borneo. Our American Prairie sales support domestic barn and historic preservation. Our products are FSC-certified, LEED point eligible, and in many cases diverted from landfills. Your purchases are what make this crazy ride possible, thank you!
