About Us

Burnett & Sons is a company specializing in architectural millwork and custom lumber projects. Our milling company manufactures a variety of standard and custom patterns for moldings and siding. We also supply miscellaneous building products, including wood and composite columns, Fypon® shutters and gable vents. We even offer custom Corian® and Formica® countertops. We’ve had a trusted name for 150 years. We use our decades of experience and our familiarity with the many products we carry to make sure you get perfect results. We can work with any budget you have in mind. Being a part of a transition into a new century is an adventure and is a rare find in the business world. We are proud to be one of the few local businesses that has experienced this twice since our inception.

Quality Is Our Priority:
High-quality millwork and cabinetry has been a tradition at Burnett & Sons since 1869 when Philitus Burnett and his son, Henry, established the business here in Sacramento. We are the second-oldest business in this area and it is quite likely that we are the oldest millwork company in the state still under the same ownership. Since its inception, Burnett & Sons has maintained an interest in special craftsmanship, unique construction, and solutions for production problems. Through the maintenance of an active training and apprenticeship program, we are able to continue the traditions of the craft. In an era of mass production, Burnett & Sons has refused to waiver from the principles of individual and custom production, which are very rare these days. Though we’ve upgraded our equipment and adopted modern, computerized machinery, our company’s product and reputation remain surprisingly unchanged.
