Here is why I recommend 84 Lumber: the employees, at least the ones I dealt with, know how to build. They know what you need for a project. And they aren't going to try to make you overpay. I went in with $600 of material for my project. I left paying $370 after talking it through with the employee. Now, I haven't started the work, and it is possible what he recommend won't do the job, but I know enough already not to be concerned about it. Some material might be more expensive than Home Crapo or Crowe's but I never enjoy being there, you can never find an employee who can help with knowledge, and last time one of those places sold me a riding mower alleging it could handle my land. False. Now I spent $9k on a real one. See what happens when businesses hire smart, educated, knowledgeable employees? I hope they pay well and benefit these workeds read more
