As always John and his family run a wonderful shop. My husband and I have been into the warehouse for several different projects over the last few years. This day was rough my daughter had meltdown on the way and NOTHING was making her happy. As we walked in John greeted us from the project shop where he was eating lunch with his daughter. He welcomes us in and spends several minutes cheering her up, offers water, shows us pictures of his beautiful grandchildren. This is the best and most fair shop I have ever been to. Its also great to listen to project advice. Id also rather spend money on a quality sourced piece of wood from a family that truly cares. Thank you John, you made Holleys day.

This place is awesome. Good prices on lumber and a ton of selection. I found some live-edge black walnut that I just absolutely love. The owner was very friendly and helpful, and even cut it into the sizes I need.

Great place to find building material treasures. Lots of pergo style flooring as well as tile, doors, bannisters, spindles and other various building supplies. They also have a reasonable selection of slab and reclaimed wood to browse.

Love this place!! New items all the time. Check here first when starting any home improvement project. Beyond reasonable prices, but you buy it, you haul it.

I drove there two hours because they told me that they have right size door, once I arrive turns out that they dont have it so I wouldnt trust what they saying. Wasted whole day because they couldnt check before saying something.

I went here for the first time today, and it was fantastic! They had really great selection, even though they were in the process of moving. The customer service was the best part! They went out of their way to show me inventory that hadnt been moved yet, and they even cut the wood I bought for me. 10/10 will come back anytime I have a house project!

I absolutely love this place... all the material to choose from... and the amazing staff. I have visited them not only to make purchases, but to get bonus tutelage and helpful direction on my DIY projects. Because of the distance ( I live 40 minutes away), I often text message them to get an idea of material and pricing prior to making the trip. They have sent me pictures and assisted me up and beyond. Now I am doing work for friends and family and they are the first people I look to go to.

Its one of those places that you never know what you will find... So if you have a home improvement or any kind of building or crafty kind of thing (even tree slabs) you should check back often. I have gotten some roofing, lumber, and even a couple of pieces of older style hardwood flooring cheap. I will probably be checking back for some doors and some kitchen cabinets & a sink.

Looks like it has promise but they sold an item I was interested in without notifying me. Didnt expect them to hold it for me but asked for a heads up so I wouldnt have wasted 3 hours driving time. Killed the day, not a happy camper.

Great place for anything you need for home projects. We purchased 80 linear feet of 3/4” wood quarter round. At a big box store you would be lucky to walk out with that amount for under $45.00. We paid less than $25.00.

Review №38

Its pretty disorganized, and prices arent really listed with or even nearby any materials, but nonetheless, this is a great place to find materials such as wood, flooring, and doors. The staff is helpful (although always occupied with customers) and ultimately, pricing is pretty straightforward on wood and much cheaper than someplace like Home Depot or Lowes.

Refused to wait on my husband and me-would answer one question then walk away and say he was coming back and never did. Wanted to buy 400 sq of flooring but he apparently did not want our money. Seriously pissed- drove from vermilion-guess someone else will get our money 😠
