My experience working with Dan at Sweet Lumber has been exceptional. My first order was for a specialty railing for my stairs and balcony. Dan used the photo I sent him and worked with my contractor to customize exactly what I wanted. We have also worked with Dan on supplies for the outside of our house. Dan made a trip to our home so that he could provide the exact material and quantity appropriate for the home.
I was unsure of our decking order and he provided a pressure treated wood that could be stained without waiting 6 months for it to dry and then delivered it the same day! I have been very hands-on during this renovation and this is the only materials vendor that has made my life easier.

Finding this place was like hitting the jackpot, especially if you are a beginner woodworker. The selection and quality of wood was amazing and the staff blew me away! Took me for a tour of their very well-organized lumberyard and dropped all kinds of wisdom on this beginner! And the price was reasonable, maybe even a bargain. Thanks so much, John!

They have a great selection of different types of wood and everything looked to be in fantastic condition. The person that helped us pick out some mahogany was interested in the project we were working on (a table) and looking for the most suitable piece of wood for that use. In addition to lumber they have a small shop with things you'd use for woodworking projects.
Any time I am looking at bowed or mangled pieces of lumber at a big box store I wish I had just gone to L Sweet. I want to go back but their business hours are a bit limited during times I am free and my car is too small to handle most of what I would want to buy. It would be worth it to inquire about delivery - I should do that myself!

What a find! Every so often I need something more than you can find in the typical places we so often to defer to. I researched a number of choices and called L. Sweet and got a very positive response from my phone call. So I made the trip from Somerset, MA to Providence, RI. only about twenty minutes with traffic, and I found myself in an obviously old time lumber yard, (since 1885) with an unbelievable selection of hardwoods.
The surprise was the pristine cleanliness of a business around for so long that cares about the environment they operate out of, and the product and service that was outstanding. I will definitely be back.

L Sweet Lumber Company has more than just lumber. It has a vast library of knowledge amongst seasoned employees who know how to offer innovative solutions and traditional building concepts for your carpentry or DIY projects. I went in there without an expectation, but quite frustrated from large stores with the difficulties of finding what was needed.
Upon arriving here, I was patiently listened to as I had difficulty describing what I needed. The employees were thoughtful and offered a solution that I could get done with my skill level. I was able to buy the goods and finish the job on my own by the end of the workday. This place is good, and they will treat you right, bring your good customer game and be prepared to answer a few questions. If you're a carpenter, stop by this place as well!

Here at Nexus Property Management we often have to rebuild/reconstruct areas of our managed apartments and homes. We used to utilize big box stores for our wood supply but quickly realized the L Sweet Lumber was the best value. The wood selection is vast and the prices are extremely fair. We will continue to patronize L Sweet and are happy to support a company more than 120 years in business. Well done!

I was refered by my contractor and worked with Dan. Bought 400sqft of mahogany decking and stainless screws w finished head on them that they recommended. The decking looks fantastic thanks to their recommendations for stain and exceptional customer service was great. Although the screws didn't work out as I had hoped. they accepted the return with no attitude and asked no questions. For that in itself they deserve 5 stars! I will most certainly be using them again in the near future!
