Ok if you didn't look here first; it's budget based. They didn't have the toilet seat I wanted, but I looked here first. If you want service, check here prior to anything else.

They have the best products, the most knowledgeable employees with quick and friendly service; don't waist your time with big box stores where finding help is as hard as finding the right product.

I needed a specific size of lumber for the repair I was working on at the time. They cut the lumber to size for free! They were also the lowest price in town for that lumber.big box stores were 40% higher. I always price my jobs. Even the tools I needed were 20% less than the big box stores. I highly recommend this team who will work for your business and get what you need. I was a newer customer but sold on their many years of knowledge, customer service, and competitive prices.

Their computers went down as I was at the checkout counter. The employee that was helping me said to me "don't worry, I'll just do it the old fashioned way" then he reached into a drawer and pulled out a receipt book and wrote my order by hand. I was out of there in less than 5 minutes.
