Appearance and profiles

Cypress often ranges from light honey-gold to tan, with a natural character that works well in both traditional and modern spaces. Porch ceilings may be painted, clear-coated, or left natural. Choose from the profile options below, then confirm grade, moisture, and finish with your quote.

Do you stock Cypress in Black Mountain?

Do you have pecky, sinker, or relief-cut Cypress?

Pecky, sinker, and other appearance-driven Cypress can be requested. Tell us the look, profile, and quantity you need, and we will confirm what can be sourced. Custom or relief-cut milling should be discussed with the quote.
