Hands down the best place in Canton for building materials. They have some really unique items at great prices and it's for a good cause! I love what this store is doing to contribute to the community! Check them out if you are updating or renovating your home! The staff is always so friendly and happy to answer questions or even help look for an item to complete your project. I have saved SO MUCH money on my house renovations. Thank you Stock Pile!

Wonderful store. Have to replace our bathroom sink and came here to find a temporary fix. We found the vanity sink and faucet for $50.00. What a great price. They helped load it and it looks great. The plumbing connected was new, so installation went really fast.
