Plumbing section could be better. Find that things are considerably more expensive here. Its the convenience of being local I guess. If it's a big order, consider shopping around. Things that are extremely more expensive there. Staples, cedar shakes roofing and drip edge. Just started going there due to Samples closure but only for must have little things nothing crazy. Big projects I patronize Home Depot. Tool section should be expanded as well. From a place that I knew cut their own timber and milled it, their material is of the lower quality and the most expensive around. Called for shiplap

I am a self employed contractor, and I have never had a lumber company work with me as well as Ward Lumber. These folks are the absolute greatest. Special thanks to Dave, Linda, Derek, Bob, and Corey. You guys are awesome. Keep up the good work.
