Customizing your house gives you a true feeling of ownership, and seeing your own flair put into the place you live is satisfaction like no other. Once you decide to make the addition, you want to make sure your new structure is sturdy, stable, and strong.

Using cheap, low-quality materials is a risk not worth taking, as your project could get ruined quickly and require costly repairs or even an entire replacement. Shur-Way Building Centers carries top-of-the-line materials and will help you make your design come to life!
Services
Shur-Way has a large selection of different types of wood decking either on hand or easily accessible. Cedar Decking - Western Red Cedar has been the 'Standard' for wood decking for as long as it has been being harvested out of the Pacific NW and Canada. Cedar is known for its beautiful color, nice fragrance, and ability to withstand the NW elements.
From very Low Cost to Super Premium when it comes to fencing, Shur-Way has you covered. Stop by either of our stores and we'll be happy to show you a variety of options and give you whatever advice you need to start installing your own fence. If you'd rather have a contractor put your fence in for you, then we'd be happy to provide you with options for people we think are doing great work in your area. We have many options in board width and height as well as grade so it is best to call or stop in to see our current best options for your situation.
Picking out just the right type of siding for your Pacific Northwest Home can be a challenge, but we at Shur-Way are here to assist as best as we can. Shur-Way offers many traditional wood siding options in Western Red Cedar, panelized options such as T-1-11, engineered siding such as LP's SmartSide, and Fiber Cement composites such as James Hardie.
Part of what makes Shur-Way unique as a lumber yard is the large selection of "Shop" and "Mill Grade" plywood that we carry in addition to our normal "On-Grade" plywood selections. You will find our "On-Grade" selections of Exterior Plywood to be consistently at the lowest prices around.

Classic hardware store like my dad took me to when I was a kid. Love it! They're super helpful.

Wish I could give zero stars! They are way overpriced, and they don't even have good customer service! I can understand small mom and pop shops charging a little more than big box stores but when that's the case you also get that good mom and pop service. This place is NOT the case. You'd get more help at Home Depot. Definitely would not recommend.

They are my go-to supplier for quality plywood which I used for the espresso carts I manufacture, url EspressoOutfitters.com. Give them a visit before dropping by the big box stores for your needs. Their prices are good and it's all quality.

Had some clean lumber, reusable. Tried a recycler and found out, they wanted $$ to drop off. Getting people coming and going. So, went to Shur-Way building center. They had a box out front for free wood. Better for me, better for the environment. Thanks Shur-Way, you're helping the community!

Had to get an extremely thick piece of wood cut into small chunks. Payne did an excellent job at helping me and being patient. Really helped me get an important project done!

I am a contractor and I've been going there for years. They have a different mix of materials I can always count on them having.

I will always shop here for all my wood products. I was collecting free scrap wood and struggling, Cody ran to help me and I wasn't buying anything. I can only image the care they give their customers. Thank you Cody!

Very GOOD Customer service & reasonable price compare Home depot. Especially the knowledgeable's staff (Marty). Thanks to him to explained & arranged everything you need on your project. This is something Home depot staffs lacking of. Home depot is a "Grab & Go" store just like 7-11. The staffs there are not knowledgeable & the price is slightly higher because of its HUGE Marketing.

But if you have Shurway delivery, then it's a bit points off. Because they "WON'T" call you if your order either is running late or rescheduled. You could ended up waiting for them all day for No Show. Call them if you don't see your ordered if 2 hours past you window scheduled.

These folks are a must when planing a project. They are supper friendly, helpful, they have most any type of lumber and prices and competitive.

Very helpful. Great prices on plywood and hardwood. I've built all my kitchen cabinets in knotty alder from Shur-Way.

Dan is amazing! We came in not knowing exactly what we needed nor what we were doing. He took the time to listen to our idea & walk us thru the process. Never once felt rushed or that we were bothering him with all of our questions. Completely different experience than at a Home Depot! Highly recommend. Don't shop anywhere else for lumber. Extra perk, you can walk around the whole yard & see all the wood first hand.

This is carpenter heaven. And the staff are angels. All basic indoor and outdoor lumber with everything needed for fences, hard, and roof repairs and for inside projects, you can pick up all nice plywood and furniture aloe cabinet hardware.

Super helpful and kind staff. Good quality wood for a great deal. Shopped around town and decided to go with Shur-Way and we couldn't be happier. They also made ordering with them a breeze. I would highly recommend them and use them again.

Bad customer service, bought 2 sheets of plywood and paid for them to be cut into quarters. The employee selected the sheets and cut them. While loading into the car we noticed a huge chunk (2.5 x 2.5 inch) gouged out of one of the sheets. When I pointed it out and asked for a new sheet, the guy said " sometimes there are small blemishes" and refused to replace it. We had no chance to inspect the sheet before he cut it so not at all our fault. Won't be back.

Shur-Way = No-Way I am building a fence and have gone to (2) Shur-Way locations. At the first location in Vancouver, I purchased roughly $600 worth of "Premium" Cedar pickets. I was told to go across the street and someone would be out there to load me up. After 30 minutes nobody came. I called the store and in the end the guy who sold me the pickets the first place.

The product that I received I am very disappointed in for several reasons: 1. More than (10) split/cracked pickets. 2. Shrinkage at some locations on my fence I have anywhere from 1/4" - 1/2" gaps after being installed. 3. More than (10) just plain crap pickets. Now to the Portland location. Purchased about the same amount of pickets. Had the same thing happen when being loaded except this time (2) customers that came in after me got loaded first. WTF!

Then finally the guy who sold me the pickets came out to help. He explained that the other customers purchased less than I did so he had them loaded first. They were not even busy. I also ordered (3) 8' premium cedar 2x4 and (1) them had the hole side that was absolutely a crappie grey color and appears to be rotten. Bottom line on this place: 1. Horrible customer service 2. Low quality 3. Overpriced I do not recommend and will spread the word to never go there. Shur-Way = No-Way

Great service and great prices on PT and cedar. The guys there are very friendly and helpful. If you need to build a deck or a fence, forget Home Depot; you get better quality wood, good service, and competitive prices here.

Depending on which employee comes to help you, this place can either be the best place to purchase wood or the worst. First time I went, the employees were incredibly helpful. Nice, knowledgeable, all that good stuff Afterwards, I came to return a few pounds of nails that I won't use again and were really only useful on the project that I had finished, and the next set of employees were rude.

While I had gone to look for nails that I was going actually use again, they proceeded to complain about the return and discuss under their breath that it was the dumbest thing they'd ever seen. They apparently did this in front of my girlfriend so I can only guess they didn't witness me walking in with her. Long story short, I'll go there again, but I'll certainly go there with a different mindset if those two gentleman are there.

Really easy to order a pallet of cedar for garden projects, great pricing. A small snafu with delivery was handled quickly and professionally. Will use again!

Just visited this establishment and I will never return. I asked for green board and was told that they had no idea what I was talking about. I asked several more questions and asked if they had the ability to cut sheet rock for me and I was told no. The guy at the counter was actually pretty rude about it. I would not recommend this place at all. Ace Hardware or Home Depot have you covered!

Just went to Shurcut on N Portland and got an awesome deal on plywood and 2x2s. Never ever buying wood at a big box store again. We got 4 sheets of siding for what one piece of OSB would've been and the 2x2s were half the price. George was our guy and he was fantastic, he even helped us load the van up with a smile.

Great place. Superb staff. Excellent customer service. I had read reviews about Shur Way, so after being disappointed at another wood shop, I tried Shur Way. HIGHLY RECOMMENDED! I needed pine wood for art projects. Brent, one of the team, went out of his way to help. He took the time to cut the pieces to the size I needed and was completely awesome. The price was so right. The service was stellar.

Excellent friendly small town like service! Close to home. Everything we needed without having to go to a giant box store. Support your local small business. Shop here, you'll be glad you did.

This is a small building materials store to be sure. But the level of knowledge and service compared to Home Depot is indescribable. And if you are judicious, their pricing is equal to the big box store. If you are looking for a building materials store that resembles a more community service oriented approach from a bygone day, this is your store.

Good people. Well informed on product. They want to help you in any way they can in your project needs and you don't have to spend an hour searching for someone only to end up asking the window coverings person about a lumber question because HD under staffs their store. Great job, Thanks!

Nice place, lot of lumber choices. They have most things for building. Nothing like an ACE hardware, strictly a building center. Hints the name.

I had a small project and these guys were really helpful. They have a great selection of wood to choose from. Everything from plies to beautiful cuts of local wood. It was nice not to drive 40 minutes in traffic to complete my project, as I live close by.

George helped us and with his help we were finally able to figure out the supplies needed for our fence project. We live in the area and have always driven by but never stopped in until today. Their prices were better than Rick's and Superior Fence but they got our business because of service. I will definitely return here in the future.

After a recommendation to go here from our contractor, we were pleasantly surprised at the level of professionalism, accuracy, and helpfulness of everyone we came in contact with. They were nice enough to make more cuts than they should have on the 15 sheets of plywood. On the second trip back, we had them wrap 10 sticks of 16' moulding in the back of the truck and they were so expedient.

Best of all, call me old fashioned, but I love that every worker addresses you as Sir. It is a little thing that goes a long way. Well done Shur-way! You have earned my business for life!

If you have any outdoor projects that involve a lot of building with wood Shur-Way is a great place to get your supplies. We located Shur-Way on one of our Sunday drives and made a mental note to visit when they were open and pick up some cedar so we could get started on building our garden boxes. We picked up cedar boards for around a 1.50 and under per foot.

For under $30 we bought enough cedar to make 1 large garden bed and 2 garden boxes. Shur-Way Building Centers is a Local Family Owned and Opperated Home Improvement Store. Dave our salesmen was very helpful and patient. Our lumber was out in the yard so that was helpful just to load up the truck. Once we were inside the actual store I was amazed at all the material there was for other projects.

Being inside Shur-Way made me want a new fence, a new deck, definitely new siding and new hardwood floor. Maybe one day I can have all those new things and Shur-Way would be the place to support. They have great prices.
