If you enjoy being treated with disrespect this is the place for you! Enjoy being talked to with anger? Or watching the employees treat each other with the same arrogant jerkiness that they'll turn on you? Then go to Hayward Lumber! The lady at the front desk should be fired. We will be going elsewhere for the rest of our home remolding needs and in the future I plan to make it part of the deal with our contractor to never use them. Why support a business who thinks it's acceptable to treat customers this way.

Every time i go to this establishment there is one employee who quotes me at least 50% more on the price. I even leave and call and get someone else and the price is 50% less.either they have multiple prices depending on the type of buyer or the guy can't read. I am through with hayward lumber.

They charged me $64 a sheet for 1/2" osb plywood which should be cheap roofing plywood. I originally went to ace but they were sold out of 1/2" and their 3/4" osb was $32/ea. So I went next door to hayward. Their prices aren't marked and you only find out only when you ring out. $233 for 2 pieces of 1/2" plywood and 5 2x4s. (I called them to ask maybe there was some mistake. They said they raised their prices due to covid.
But they are double the cost of surrounding stores) Then when I sent my worker back to return the materials. They told me that even though we paid in cash they will only issue me a check for my $178 return. Any returns over $50 they only return checks. And they can either send it in the mail or let me pick it up in their office. And if I pick it up, it won't be ready until the next day!. and now I have to wait a day to get the check and go out of my way to deposit it(plus a few days for bank processing) just to get returned the cash I spent on the spot.

I wanted to give a local business a chance rather than going to Home Depot. I wanted to build a bookcase. The guy at Hayward told me this was the wrong place for that kind of lumber. They just have Douglas Fir. And not in sizes suitable for bookcases. He said I would have to look downtown for hardwood. Seems a bit odd for a place with "Lumber" in their name to only sell one kind of wood? And it turned out that Channel City Hardware a few blocks away in Goleta does indeed sell a variety of lumber suitable for bookcases. Maybe this place treats you OK if you are a major construction company. But they clearly are not interested in locals who are trying to do their own projects.

I absolutely love this place! It's a contractors paradise for materials! My father used to shop at Hayward's way back in the day, and nothing's changed. Great people, great service & great products.

This place is slowly becoming my favorite go-to spot even if I have 2 drive from miles away I'll do that instead of going to Home Depot because their customer service here is fantastic Home Depot sucks

I only went there out of convenience but the rude man hiding behind his computer and telling his workers to wait on somebody else as I'm standing there waiting for some time. And saying he doesn't know what I am or addressing like I'm ugly. A truly piece of. I feel sorry for his employees that have to be put up with that. I haven't been there in 30 years and I'll never ever go back again to be treated like that very disrespectful hardware store lumber yard. I hate to give the one star
