As the Lower Mainland's only dedicated plywood lumber yard – and one that recently doubled in size – you know Smith Plywoods in Maple Ridge is a busy place.
Bustling with contractors and home hobbyists alike, the family-owned business has been the region's go-to destination for its wide array of plywood and all the accompanying stains, adhesives, accessories and more since 1952, not to mention all the expert advice to go with it. As one shopper said, "Great place, nice folks. You will find products here you simply can't get anywhere else."
And that's why the first step for many is smithplywods.com – its comprehensive look at the many plywood possibilities offers inspiration and helps narrow down some of the many options before heading to the store.
Online, you'll find it easy to navigate between the various plywood varieties – everything from construction-grade plywood and concrete-forming plywood to sanded fir, spruce and Mahogany.
Browse MDO and HDO – medium- or high-density overlaid plywood, good for outdoor projects – and Ranchwall siding plywood for sheds. Maybe you want to get your business noticed? Check out the exterior sign board.
You'll also find marine-grade plywood and exotics, pre-finished hardwood, particle board and dunnage, and oversized hardwood plywood perfect for trailers or other large-scale projects.
Interior projects among your goals for 2025? Find sub-flooring materials for hardwood floors, lightweight plywood for RVs, MDF for millwork projects and 5x5 Baltic Birch for drawer construction.
Of course, what good is plywood, without all the necessities to finish your project? Once in store, you'll also find a large selection of fasteners, screws by the pound, all types of contract adhesives, drawer glides and hinges, tools and so much more.
And Smith's customers say it best: “Amazing professional service – and affordable. I dealt with three employees with my very small order for a patch job I was doing; they were all very professional and helpful. I would highly recommend these guys for any small or large project.”
