Redwood Lumber: The Trusted Choice for Craftsmanship, Durability, and Visual Impact

In professional building, delivering lasting quality and standout design is essential. Whether you’re framing an outdoor living space, installing redwood house siding, or selecting structural components, the material you choose reflects directly on your workmanship. Redwood lumber continues to earn the trust of contractors across Northern California for its strength, ease of use, and aesthetic appeal—making it ideal for premium exterior and structural applications.

At Ashby Lumber, we stock a comprehensive selection of California redwood siding, redwood 2×4, and other dimensional grades to meet your exact project requirements.

A Structural Asset That Performs

Redwood is favored in structural construction for its impressive dimensional stability and natural strength. Commonly used in redwood 2×4 framing for pergolas, fences, and decks, its performance in exterior conditions is unmatched. Redwood resists decay, moisture, and insects without the need for chemical treatment—helping your builds withstand the Bay Area climate with confidence.

Its Class B fire rating also makes it a smart option in fire-prone zones, particularly for siding and exposed framing.

Workability that Supports Productivity

From rough framing to finish carpentry, redwood is easy to saw, fasten, and shape. It mills cleanly and holds fasteners well, reducing the need for rework or adjustments on site. Whether you’re crafting redwood siding panels or running trim details along soffits and fascia, its lightweight nature and straight grain speed up installation and improve visual quality.

For contractors managing tight schedules and demanding specifications, redwood ensures both precision and efficiency.

Professionals consistently choose redwood siding for its striking appearance and long-term performance. Available in patterns like shiplap, tongue-and-groove, and bevel, California redwood siding offers design versatility for residential facades, garden structures, and feature walls.

Whether left natural to silver or sealed to preserve its deep, rich color, redwood house siding delivers sophistication that elevates your client’s curb appeal while reinforcing your reputation as a quality builder.

Redwood Lumber Grades for Every Scope

Ashby Lumber carries key redwood grades to align with both function and finish:

  • Clear Heart & Select Clear – Ideal for visible siding, fascia, trim, and architectural features where knot-free precision matters.
  • Construction Heart – High in strength and naturally decay-resistant, perfect for structural decking, redwood 2x4s, and pergola framing.
  • Construction Common – A cost-efficient option for fencing, support framing, and projects where performance outweighs visual detail.

We help match grade to application, ensuring optimal results across your build.
