I called Hartford Lumber to ask if they had something in stock- they did. Two days later I went there to make my purchase and was told that I should have called first to place my order (due to COVID-19) I said that I HAD called but wasn't told about the order ahead process. They were too busy to make an exception for me, despite their poor communication. I'll bring my business elsewhere.

The staff is always incredibly helpful. I tried 84 lumber before I found Hartford Lumber and the difference in quality of service is astounding. No matter the size of the project, skip Lowes/Home Depot and go to Hartford Lumber.

I found Hartford Lumber in my search for a particular product, of which they were the only local vendor. I admittedly was hesitant about traveling into the city to get building materials, but it was a necessity to obtain said product. I found the staff to be extremely helpful and friendly, and they have the best prices around on quality lumber and materials, as well as free delivery on many local routes when purchased in quantity.
I ordered a list of items for a deck last week, and when they arrived, the driver and I realized that there were a couple of items that hadn't been shipped. The driver apologized and said he'd fix it, but I was willing to wait, as I didn't need them for a couple of days. They went out of their way to make sure I received those items before the end of the day, even after my guys had gone home! I commend their efforts and will certainly be using their services for many more jobs in the future.
