Cedar Mill Co.

What Cedar Mill Co. does

Cedar Mill Co., Inc. is a family-owned custom building products manufacturer and installer headquartered in Houston, Texas, operating since 1998 under owner and CEO Steve Blalock. The company designs, fabricates, and installs windows, doors, and shutters for residential and commercial customers, with proprietary lines including custom Western Red Cedar shutters, extruded aluminum-clad and all-wood windows, an in-house B-Steel product line of solid steel doors and windows with Cardinal LowE 366 glazing, and a commercial glass installation capability covering curtain walls, storefronts, fire-rated framing, and specialty glass. Core technical differentiation comes from custom milling to architectural specifications, a steel fabrication and finishing process (sandblasting, zinc coating, catalyzed polyurethane finish with custom color matching), and energy-efficient glazing options including Energy Star certified products.

The business operates a regional Texas-only go-to-market through two showroom-and-installation locations (Houston headquarters at 6608 Brittmoore Rd and Austin-area office in Hutto) supported by direct phone-based sales (Houston: 713-984-2600; Austin: 512-838-1306) and a content-driven website. Revenue is generated primarily through one-time custom product sales bundled with professional installation services, augmented by commercial glass installation work and distribution of third-party manufacturer brands (Gerkin, Jeld-Wen, Southern Shutter, Atlantic Premium Shutters, Neuma Doors, Showcase, Simonton, Kawneer, Atlas, Tubelite, Old Castle, and Ashley Norton architectural hardware). The company positions itself as an innovation- and service-driven regional custom fabricator rather than a volume commodity installer, with over two decades of installation experience handling unconventional window dimensions and challenging custom applications as its primary trade credential.
