Company Background

Founded in 2005 by Sidney Gendron, Sawmill Sid provides a portable sawmill service that repurposes wood, recycles wood products and leaves less of a carbon footprint. Our company delivers on-site portable sawmilling and is known for making value added recommendations from the tree stump right to the canopy branches. We have been quite successful in milling logs out of barn beams, after natural disasters, on Native Reserves, re-cycling hydro poles, and for reclaiming timbers that were cut down for commercial and residential development. Sawmill Sid currently serves a diverse population of customers in the Ontario Market. We were featured in a case study regarding uses of ash trees by the City of Toronto, where Sawmill Sid milled the lumber and then it was used to make a chair. Commissioned by the City of Toronto to mill up “The Maple Leaf Forever Tree”.
