Quality Starts with the First Cut
At Ridel Portable Sawmill, we specialize in producing solid hardwood flooring Connecticut homeowners and builders can trust for quality and craftsmanship. Our team handles the first and most important step in the flooring process — cutting your wood into precision-milled boards that form the foundation for beautiful, long-lasting floors.
We work with both customers’ own logs and our own supply of locally milled lumber, giving you complete control over the type of wood used in your flooring. From pine and oak to cherry, ash, and other hardwoods, we’ll mill your material accurately and consistently so it’s ready for finishing and installation.
Custom Flooring Starts with Quality Milling
Every stunning hardwood floor begins with expertly milled boards. Our high-production Wood-Mizer Hydraulic Sawmill allows us to cut lumber to exact dimensions, ensuring clean edges and consistent thickness throughout. This precision matters; when your flooring moves on to the finishing stage, the boards fit together tightly and look seamless once installed.
Because our work focuses on the first step of the flooring process, we take the time to understand your project goals and preferred finish. We’ll also consult with you on where to send the boards next, connecting you with local finishing partners who can kiln-dry, plane, and finish the wood to your desired look.
Unfinished Hardwood Flooring for Custom Projects
If you’re planning to stain, seal, or finish the floors to match your home’s design, our solid unfinished hardwood flooring Connecticut service gives you full creative control. We’ll cut the boards to your specifications and prepare them for finishing, allowing your flooring specialist to complete the process exactly as you envision.
Unfinished hardwood is a popular choice for homeowners and builders who want:
- Full control over stain color and sheen
- The ability to match existing flooring
- Custom plank widths and lengths
- A truly unique, one-of-a-kind result

We mill wood for everything from custom homes and renovations to barns, workshops, and commercial spaces. If your project requires CT hardwood floors that are truly custom, our team will ensure your boards are cut to the exact size and thickness your finisher needs.
Thickness can vary depending on your preference and how the flooring will be used. Standard flooring is typically between ¾” and 1″ thick, but we can adjust dimensions based on your finisher’s specifications.
After milling, flooring boards typically need to be kiln-dried or air-dried before finishing and installation. The drying time depends on the type of wood and humidity levels. We’ll help you understand the next steps and connect you with a local drying or finishing facility if needed.
Locally milled flooring supports Connecticut craftsmanship, reduces transportation costs, and ensures better quality control. Working with Ridel means you’re getting wood flooring CT that’s made with care, precision, and pride — not mass-produced in a factory.
