Usually, my company deals with Kevin or Rick. but, EVERYONE we've dealt with has been fantastic! My highest compliments to the yard crew and those who handle deliveries! I am proud to recommend Pukall Lumber to my clients even if we aren't contracted for a job for the client to get their materials. They are always professional and knowledgeable. First class all the way.

I recently dealt with Nick and Kevin on some T&G pine materials. They were very knowledgeable, I had prompt delivery and the product was excellent. I have used their products numerous times and will continue to do so. Jay W

We needed a Larson storm door replaced. We stopped in at Pukall's to look at their door display on Tuesday and it was professionally installed by Thursday. They emailed us a bill for the door and installation (very reasonable) and we mailed them a check. The process couldn't have been easier.

Report
Very busy lumbar yard. Has common nails/ fasteners to get the job done it's not a hardware store. This is a traditional lumber yard. They mill the wood on site and local wood is always a good thing.
