Hardwood lumber, plywood and mouldings for St. Louis County
Saint Charles Hardwoods is just across the Missouri River in St. Peters, within about half an hour of most of west, mid and north county. Stocked hardwood, sheet goods and trim, and a mill of our own for the profiles nobody stocks.
What St. Louis County jobs call for
St. Louis County's houses span a century, and the work that comes out of them does too.
Older homes in the inner suburbs
Kirkwood, Webster Groves, University City and Clayton have streets of houses from the early 1900s through the 1940s, with trim profiles and widths that home centers don't carry. When a remodel or an addition needs to match, our mill can run the profile from a sample. Start with Custom Work or the custom mouldings request.
Mid-century houses in north and south county
Ranches and split-levels from the 1950s to the 1970s often get new kitchens, built-ins and updated trim. That means hardwood plywood and Baltic birch for cabinets, hardwood mouldings or primed mouldings for new casing and baseboard, and stair parts when the stairs are opened up.
Newer homes in west county
In Chesterfield, Wildwood and Ballwin the work is more often finishing and upgrading: coffered ceilings, wainscot, mantels and taller trim.
And across the county, woodworkers and small shops come for the hardwood lumber and exotic lumber racks.
Before you make the trip
Send your list ahead as a quote and we'll confirm what's available before you drive over. If you'd like the order delivered, ask when you send your quote and tell us where the job is.
Full plywood sheets and long boards need a truck or trailer. Baltic birch half sheets (2'6" x 5') fit in many SUVs.
Questions from St. Louis County customers
How far is Saint Charles Hardwoods from Chesterfield?
About 13 miles, or 25 minutes outside rush hour: I-64 west across the river, then Route 94 and Mid Rivers Mall Drive north. You might see us listed as St. Charles Hardwoods; it's the same store in St. Peters.
Can I send my list ahead and pick it up?
Yes. Add what you need to your quote and send it. We reply within 1–2 business days to confirm what's available and the price, so the trip across the river is worth it.
Can you match molding from an older house in Kirkwood or Webster Groves?
Usually, yes. Bring a short offcut of the original, or a clear end-on photo with a ruler in the shot. We check it against our knife profiles at the mill in Bowling Green, Missouri, and can grind a new knife if nothing matches. See Our Mill.
Do you work with contractors?
Yes. Builders, contractors, woodworkers and homeowners all buy from us. Send a full materials list or trim package and we'll quote it together.
