We've been buying custom lumber from this place for a few years now. They're prices are fair and Paul and his employees treat you with courtesy and respect. This place can make just about anything for your lumber needs. And they sell Firewood too!

Didn't know much about lumber. The owner, Paul, took my wife and I around and showed us all of the wood and was so patient to help us with our selection. Everyone I met was super friendly. And, you can't beat the price! Definitely a long term customer.

I've purchased from them in the past. Headed back again. Quality lumber, friendly service, a fair price. Open Saturday! I drive about 90 minutes to get there. It's worth it.
