Cloverdale, Calif.—The true test of
quality is not what can be produced in
special circumstances for special customers.
Quality shows in consistency,
when every customer is special. It is a
100 percent commitment, 100 percent of
the time. At All-Coast Forest Products
Inc., a lumber wholesale distributor that
is headquartered here, those words are
not only said, but lived day in and day
out.
“You have to always strive to understand
what you can do for customers to
help them improve their business,” said
Kent Bond, president of All-Coast. “We
strive to do that and to find those
answers, so we can shape our business
to help our customers. The key is to
understand what will help our customers
make their businesses more successful.”
The company handles a multitude of
products, including: Softwood lumber,
timbers, siding, trim and fascia products,
decking and railing products, treated
products, interior paneling, trim and finish
products, hardwood lumber, solid
sawn framing and engineered framing
products, specialty and industrial products
and unlimited standard and custom
milling patterns. Main species offered by
the company include Douglas Fir, Inland
Pine, and Western SPF, Redwood,
Western Red Cedar and Alaskan Yellow
Cedar.
