Prices are very expensive typically 50% higher than any other hardware store in the area. Sometimes they will ring you up prices that are higher than they have listed on the shelves.

When looking to proceed with a truss project and planning to have Thomas Home Center as a possible candidate to do this complicated truss package, I couldn't be more disappointed or seen the lack of customer service. To hear that this company backed out last minute after several correspondence were made to show they were on track with the design, all the way to sending calculations. I would highly not recommend anyone do business or have any confidence in their work or promises.
The manager of the truss department changed his story several times. To far to travel, to complicated, you changed the plans were all his excuse, I was on the phone when you called. i was distracted etc. list goes on. I know ill be taking my business elsewhere.

Tom Rector of Thomas Home Center is a true professional. This is the second time my brother and I have worked with Tom on our property in Eureka. 2012 - My brother and had bitten off more than we could handle in rehabbing our Eureka property. We contacted Tom Rector and he and his crew stepped in to complete the project that we had begun. He was on time and within budgeted estimates. Tom is very efficient and easy to work with.
Now 2021 - We are finally selling the property and a number of issues regarding Fungus, Rot and Pest infestation were uncovered in the termite report produced for our buyer. We contacted Tom to assist us on the project. Even though he is very busy he visited the property and gave us his estimates and his opinion of project size. Ultimately, he suggested the strategy that allowed us to close the sale within the 30 day escrow period without handling all the repairs ourselves. I wholeheartedly recommend Tom without reservation and would work with him again any time.

My wife and I used Thomas Home Center to remodel our kitchen. We were not too organized on what we wanted from the project. Tom Rector, with great patience and good advice, worked with us until we decided on a plan that my wife and I were very happy with. The planning was a positive experience for the both of us. The work was executed with skill and attention to detail. We now have a spacious, well lit, beautiful new kitchen. Thomas Home Center was great about meeting their deadlines and everybody we were in contact with during the project were competent, friendly, and a pleasure to work with.

Purchase about 20' of 2x4 for a project and noticed they we're a little wet when loading. Was in a rush and didn't check them thoroughly. Upon getting home I noticed that they are pretty soaked and the undersides are ridden with mold. Call back early next morning to see if they could exchange just the Moldy pieces for the lumber I intended to purchase and was told "No" I explained the situation again emphasizing that I try not to be a bother at the time and thought I can salvage them at home with a de-hum.
I received the same "No" Like c'mon. You really think when customers ask for lumber they should specify non-wet / moldy pieces? I think even Home Depots corporate policy is more forgiving. Usually supper happy with this place. Last interaction was my first unpleasant time.
