Will echo what others have said on here - I no longer waste my time at big box stores after discovering the quality and selection at Siwek. They always have exactly what I am looking for and the staff are extremely helpful and knowledgeable to answer any questions.

Don't waste your time at a big box. This place is the best. Very high quality lumber, huge selection of trim. They will do custom work for you too if you need it. Very fair prices!

Always good. Always helpful. Just like a small town lumber yard. If you need good lumber, doors or windows. Avoid the big box stores. Go see Tom or any of his minions

Siwek lumber has an excellent inventory of wood species to choose from for trim work, moldings, cabinetry, and they can cut knives for custom molding. Always my first choice.

Love at first sight. As a woodworker it was great to find a personalized lumber yard that carries all the wood I would ever want for the tables, chairs and cutting boards I build. No more ordering online and getting what I get. I get to choose the lumber I want before I buy it. Thanks Siwek Lumber.

Extremely wide selection and very good customer service. I'll be coming here from now on for my hardware needs, etc. Not a big box store. Great to shop local and support great businesses like Siweks!
