Best quality of lumber, ply sheets stored correctly to prevent warping. They charge for saw cuts and rips, but I'd rather pay for a good job, than wait all day at HD or Lows. The Best staff, hand down! Thanks.

I was slated to finally get my new front door after almost a year. I made it here at 7:15 Wednesday during what was said to be a blizzard. (It was not) anyways, although they didn't have the exact thing I needed, they figured out how to get what I needed. Nick, thank you. To your warehouse guy that went back and found stuff to make it work- thank you. I was stressed walking in. Probably visibly by the look on my face.
They were super great at helping me and I wouldn't hesitate to come back in here for literally any of my needs. Super friendly, great group of guys, and girls. Btw my door wasn't installed Bc the installer was too scared to bring his box truck out.

I've been coming in a number of times. Every time it seems the service gets worse and worse. Today when I went in I was carrying a wood sample with me. Before I finished walking through the front door one of the reps tells me 'oh we don't have anything like that.' Needless to say I left and found another lumber company to help me.

I was trying to finish up my Trex deck project yesterday when I realized I needed one more floor board. I knew John's Lumber sold Trex so I called the Shelby store. "Mark" took my call and quickly checked on stock at their store. He said I had to go to their main store at 15 and Gratiot and they only had 20' lengths (I only needed 5'). But, then, he said they might have had some in the "returns" at their store in Shelby that don't show in the inventory.
He had to physically check and said he would call me back in 5 minutes. He DID! And they DID have a 12' board and he had already pulled it an put it in Will-Call for me! I thanked him and hung up. I turned to my girlfriend and said, "Am I on another planet? Who gives customer service like THAT these days?" I drove to the store to get it and I took my battery circular saw to cut it in 2 pieces to fit in the car better. The sales guy said that they would do that for me, no problem. I can't imagine going ANYWHERE else for materials now. What a great place. Friendly, helpful people.
