Forget the big box retailers--Standard Lumber is the place to go for home improvement projects! We needed to find a sliding 3-door solution for a large closet being built off our basement. It didn't fit standard specs which made it hard to identify what barn door/bypass hardware to get and which size doors would be needed. We did a lot of research at local retailers and online but never found a true solution we liked...at a price that made sense..and with materials actually available. Standard Lumber was recommended and the staff there took time to go over our situation and put forth a few combinations

Had a great experience here after a bad experience with another lumber yard. Lee was a machine, he was sending me quotes and responses to my emails very promptly, despite my numerous questions. We agreed on a fair price and I was able to make the purchase.

Wow! Excellent service and friendly staff, Standard Lumber beat all expectations. Superior, grade A+ quality lumber that is cheaper than many of big box stores. I'm very happy with the product I received along with the professionalism of this place. Highly recommended for contractors and DIYs alike. Will be going back.

We are neighbors of Standard Lumber. Last night it snowed a foot and our plow company lost our lot in the mix. Skip, from Standard Lumber sent over a driver and a plow truck to help us make our lot safe for our customers. When I walked over to pay for them helping us, Skip told me good neighbors are important and do not worry about it. I know I am not technically a customer, however this shows the character of the people that run the business. Thank you Skip, I really appreciate the help!

I was trying to find cedar at a big box store but couldn't get it anywhere. These guys have everything! Super friendly and loaded my car. Buy your lumber here!
