Professional Assistance, flexible and knowledgeable. I've bought lumber, and had custom millwork done and they've always been top notch.

I had a great experience working with Brunsell Lumber & Millwork in Spring 2021 on a kitchen renovation. I worked with Crystal through the process from start to finish. Crystal provided knowledgeable insight on decisions we were considering and was an integral part in helping to create usable and gorgeous custom cabinetry. She responded quickly to emails and phone calls and resolved problems in a timely manner. I also appreciated the quality of products we had available to choose from. We purchased cabinets, countertops, and a sink from Brunsell. Photos of before and after.

Walked in for advice on a small project. Had planned to buy a small amount of lumber and stain. Was completely ignored for 10 mins when finally one of the service people who was chatting to someone gestured me to someone on the phone who ignored me too. I left and won't be back.

I had a great experience at Brunsell. I am a beginner woodworker and I was pretty intimidated go to a lumber yard for the first time because I had NO IDEA what I was talking about. All I knew was that I wanted to buy some wood. I was a bit worried I wouldn't be given the time of day because I wasn't buying a contractor's load of wood. But boy was I wrong! I got greeted right as I pulled up, he gave me instructions on what to do, and when I ready to make my purchase, the salesman helped me move heavy boards so I could get the exact one I wanted.

He then cut them to the size I needed, and I was on my way! I really appreciated the prices were clearly posted as well, so I didn't accidentally buy anything that was over my budget. Their selection was pretty good too including walnut, sapele, Brazilian cherry, and more! Thanks Brunsell!
