Awesome home town, full service lumberyard. I have used their kitchen design center.. .kudos to Nancy. All of her designs I have seen have been thoughtfully designed. Bob at the main yard has went the extra mile helping me find speciality materials and arranging prompt deliveries. Their paint and stain department also does top notch work. I have had a positive experience with every employee that I have came into contact with. Thanks Coldwater lumber!
