What We Do
At Brazilian Wood Depot, we do more than just supply lumber — we design solutions. Our approach starts with understanding the installation conditions and the variables that affect hardwood performance: airflow, spacing, climate, fastening, framing, and finish.
From there, we help customers design decking and siding systems that optimize performance while working within budget. This requires not only listening to project goals but also applying our unmatched knowledge of the performance characteristics of hardwoods themselves—backed by one of the longest and most proven track records in the industry.
🔧 How we help:
- Assessing project conditions and tailoring solutions for long-term performance
- Providing expert system design guidance (from framing to finishing)
- Offering clear, step-by-step Installation Guides 🔗
- Delivering nationwide with the industry’s only damage-free guarantee 🔗
- Using the Decking Wizard 🔗 to generate personalized reports with species and fastener recommendations
- Explaining fastener performance by species with the Scoring Hardwoods – Video 🔗
