Great prices on lumber. I saved several hundred dollars buying from them instead of big lumber stores. Great friendly service. They have tools for most every need.

Don't buy nothing from this place ive bought 3000 worth of building supplies from them here about a week ago and found termite damage in wood call management and they won't do anything about correcting the problem last time they get my money and I'd advise anyone against dealing with them

I really appreciate how the staff take the extra time to help you out. They have a good general knowledge about most things. If you do happen to ask about something they aren't sure about they usually have excellent suggestions to help you find the answers you're looking for.
