Since 1958, Bernard Building Center has been building trusting relationships with builders, homeowners, and the community. Customer service, quality products, the largest inventory in N.E. Michigan, top national brands, and reliability are the foundation that we have built our company on. In 1958, my parents opened a small window shop called Bernard Woodworking.They were the only two employees, with me and my sister Debbie running underfoot. Soon, both the business and our family expanded, and we began the journey that led to the Lumberyard and Home Center that we are today.

Walked in around 9am. No other customers were there. Walked around making it obvious I needed assistance while watching employees talking casually with each other. Stood around waiting for someone for 25 minutes! No one bothered. Employees walked by me as if I was invisible. I was looking for assistance in flooring and hardware. Ended up driving to the city to get what I needed and arranged delivery. Shopping locally is always my priority but will never again walk in here.

I needed 3 modern base mouldings. The 16' long mouldings would not fit in my vehicle. They were just too long. It was the end of the day and I needed them for the next day. Delivery would have taken till after the weekend. Ricky stepped up and delivered them after his shift ended! I can't thank Ricky and Bernards enough!

Had a customer request a smooth surface vinyl siding, after multiple days of calling literally all over the state. called Benards, they took the time to actually look for what I needed, got a call back within an hour saying they found what I was looking for! These guys will get my business for now on! Thanks again

This is my favorite hardware ever. We have a vacation home nearby and discovered them when we were renovating. Now we come here for stuff for our house and just transport it. It is so worth transporting it because they have stuff in stock that other places need to special order. Always friendly and helpful. Just we had one near our regular home.

Purchased cottage full of windows in 2004. One cracked. no big deal. or so we thought. Tim told us to bring in pics (especially of identifying sticker) to proceed to order replacement. Co has since been sold. new co wants nothing to do w/ it, old co only honors warranty issues. As Tim said it's "not my fault the co was sold" and in the mean time were SOL. All business goes to Memards now. more knowledgeable staff, greater selection, lower prices and no BS.

We have been shopping at Bernard's for years. The personnel have always been professional, pleasant and helpful. They almost always have in stock items I need. At times, I have found their prices to be a bit higher then big chain stores but they are convenient to my location and it's not worth the drive to another store. I

If I could give this place a lower star rating I would. Absolutely horrible customer service. The man who "helped" us was incredibly rude and patronizing. I also would have complained about the dog crap on the floor, but seeing it there on my way out made me feel a little bit better. It was right where it needed to be, in a nice pile on the Bernard's Building Center floor.
