QUOTES
- “We are trying to minimize any filler or repairs that need to be made. So we're using a little bit better quality lumber.”
- “People think the architectural is the highest you can get, and really, from a grade standpoint, it is. But there are opportunities, and we're helping create those to create a premium glue lamp that can go into a traditionally built home or small commercial building, or any building for that matter.”
