I would not recomend this place no refunds any sales are final, if owner is in a good mood he will buy back the item at 50% of what you pay for. Sales persons are rude and make feel like they are making you a favor. I wont buy even a single nail from them in the future, rather go to ACE if not HD.

Affordable prices you can find doors windows trims etc. Obviously you may not find all what you looking for but if you find it is the best deal for your money. I recommend it

The staff is friendly, knowledgeable, and helpful. They even helped custom cut some plywood, something that big brand stores do not do and smaller stores charge a lot for. I would recommend this place to anyone in need of lumber or any construction needs.

We arrived at 735 am to be one of the first in line. all materials we purchased were approximately 50% less than home Depot prices. We purchased 5 gallons of super paint for approximately $240 and same paint would've costed 400 or more dollars at home Depot. This was 5 gallons of super paint and this type of paint wasn't available at home Depot.

This places charges the same price as home Depot. The only difference is home Depot is better because you can return or exchange your items
