Whether it's lumber, plumbing supplies, electrical, or even a pellet grill, Girdner Lumber always gives me 1-on-1 assistance and great prices. They seem to always have what I need, and if I don't know what I need, they do! You won't find a nicer group of people, yet their selection and prices easily rival that of bigger stores!
