Estimating
Our estimating department works hard to find ways for ceilings to fit your budget. We can help you deliver on spec, on time, and on budget. Our turn-around time for most quotes is 2 working days. Here’s what we need:
- Detailed project name
- Shipping location (city and state)
- 9Wood product SKU
- Species
- Estimated ship date

Project Management
Our project managers excel at navigating the intricacies involved in a successful wood ceiling project. We have surrounded them with support systems and personnel to make sure we can offer you the best customer service in our industry.
Each Project Manager is assisted by a dedicated Project Coordinator. These highly organized communicators are the first point of contact for our customers. They’ll ensure a timely and accurate flow of information throughout your project.
9Wood’s finish department excels at achieving the look you’re after. Our standard clear finish brings out the natural beauty of wood.
But, we can also match colors. We can stain wood members. We can imitate a species as a value-engineering strategy. We’ll help meet your technical and aesthetic requirements.
