Please do not come here and support this business. The owner is indecent and clownish to say the least. Spoke to him over the phone this "businessman" was yelling and trying to defend himself of taking my fathers money, I'm sorry but there's nothing that makes that right you sell broken wood you try to scam people out of money and put signs that nothing is returnable or refundable because YOU know what you sell is garbage do better Scott.

Went to purchase a 4x14 Douglas fir beam(header) yesterday & the first beam they presented was totally warped. The owner(?) told us he would move supplies away from their stock in the back & for us to return this morning for the PAID beam. Go there this morning and they keep bringing out warped beams. We know they have new stock but are unwilling to cut the bundle! HORRIBLE CUSTOMER SERVICE!!! Left without the product that was promised to us yesterday. Do not purchase from this business is my suggestion.

The receptionist is really rude. She didn't have the decency to even say BYE or anything of that nature. She just hung up in my face. I wouldn't buy from a company who can't even put out good customer service. I'll make sure I tell the people in the community since I do work in media. No thank you.

Prices here are comparable to big home improvement stores with the plus being there's no waiting in lines, people actually know the merchandise, and they offer next day, when possible, same day delivery. I also like not having to stack lumber on a silly cart only needing to unload it onto my truck and their lumber isnt warped or split. I'd never shop any place else for lumber unless Fosters didn't carry what I needed.

First time at location.. Great place...very impressed with selection. 100 times better than box stores! Great lumber at a great price. Office staff was a little rude, cold, but guys on the yard more than made up for it...yard crew was very helpful and was more than happy to cut lumber to my specs. Helped load and made sure all my questions were answered! Thanks again!

This place seems to have everything you could need or want. I checked a few different shops and Foster's was the only spot that carried the lumber i needed.
