The only thing about this place i liked was the price. I walked in and was treated like I was interuping the two guys at the counter telling each other storys, then I bought some 4x4s for just over 14 dollars a piece and thought to myself, wow thats pretty cheap, then went outside and waited almost a half hour for someone to take my ticket and direct me. I then follow a guy to the bundle of 4x4s and they looked like they where rained on and cooked off in the sun over and over for a year ( no wonder they where so cheap). This place is a nasty unorganized mess at best.

I am a contractor and depend on these guys often. They continue to take care of me and my orders on a daily basis. They do tons of volume and still work hard to keep up with all these people wanting things yesterday. They are always trying to keep high volume items in stock so we can continue to work and limit stock shortages. If materials are getting scarce they always give a fair warning so I can pass that on to my customer. Thanks guys.
