Sustainable Forest Sourcing
Chain of Custody and Harvest Practices
McGinnis Wood Products prioritizes chain of custody documentation that links forest harvest to final delivery. Working with certified landowners, the company favors selective harvesting and longer rotation cycles to maintain site productivity and biodiversity.
Engineered Wood Solutions
Performance Trusses and Laminated Components
The engineered division designs trusses and laminated components to meet exact load requirements. Advanced software models joint behavior, deflection limits, and local code adjustments before fabrication begins.
Architectural and Specialty Grades
Appearance and Durability for Premium Projects
Architectural panels and specialty millwork highlight natural grain, consistent finishes, and long-term weather resistance. Species selection accounts for wear patterns, exposure, and maintenance expectations.
Operations and Logistics
Regional Distribution and Quality Control
Regional processing hubs shorten lead times and reduce handling damage. Incoming logs are graded, moisture tested, and scheduled to match production capacity, supporting predictable on-time delivery.

- Match species and grades to environmental exposure and performance requirements
- Use engineered trusses and panels where repetitive load cases and coordination simplify installation
- Verify regional code approvals and third-party reports before finalizing product selection
- Plan handling and storage to control moisture content and protect architectural surfaces
FAQ
Reader questions
What species does McGinnis Wood Products recommend for exterior cladding?
Cedar and Redwood are commonly specified for exterior cladding due to their natural rot resistance and dimensional stability. Species selection also considers local code requirements and desired aesthetic.
Can engineered trusses from McGinnis accommodate custom roof designs?
Yes, the engineering team can adjust chord depths, web configurations, and connector patterns to match complex rooflines while maintaining structural performance and code compliance.
How is chain of custody verified for FSC and SFI materials?
Third-party audits, transaction reports, and batch documentation track certified material from forest through milling and shipping, allowing qualified projects to claim certified credits.
What moisture content standards does McGinnis Wood Products maintain for architectural panels?
Panels are dried to target moisture ranges suitable for interior use or exterior applications, with documented mill tests to support specification compliance and on-site installation planning.
