Service and pricing are good. However the location and how they load your materials makes it difficult when using a trailer. We also don't like that you cannot pick out your own wood boards. We normally go to the transit road location but they did not have enough of metal roof panels we needed in stock and we were told they would not transfer them from the Seneca st location to transit rd.

I worked here for about 4 to 6 months and the staff was great and plus I would get a great workout everyday helping to load people's vehicles up! With inflation lenco has low prices compared to other lumber yards. Highly recommend them!

Worked with Matt at Seneca St to order decking and railings. He provided great customer service and was responsive with any questions regarding delivery or the products. Lenco Lumber is the best in the area when it comes to ordering building supplies.

Mostly buy my lumber there as they tend to have better lumber than the big box stores. They are always helpful finding items and loading them into your car.
