His father passed away a couple of years ago, and his sons have continued their father's legacy. They are now retiring, and a young entrepreneur bought the store and will expand it to other levels. I got a chance to meet the new owner, a super cool and friendly guy with lots of experience in construction. I am excited to see this local business succeed.

And they know where EVERYTHING is. Old fashion service, courtesy, and attitude is what makes this place. Now the kicker. Lowe's and Home Depot have been out of cedar forever. City Lumber has a huge supply. When they didn't have the length I wanted, they cut a longer board to get me what I wanted. THAT'S UNHEARD OF!!!!! Yes, cedar cost an arm and a leg, but they had it, and I bought it! Thank you, I'll be back!

We had been proactive and already had chosen Corian type. Comparing the quote to an online company... InCounters was $300 cheaper than a the online company and with the online company, I had do the removal and install. So the choose was a no brainer. After meeting with InCounters, we looked at corian sink colors. The Lubbock location does not have sink examples so it's imperative you do you're choices online. We upgraded to undermount larger sinks (2-4 lead time). We signed their contract and wrote the check. The next week, the Lubbock contact came out and measured the counter top with a laser. 5-1/2 weeks later, InCounters Abilene called to setup the install. I had a large mirror professionally moved to eliminate backsplash interference. I also removed the old tile backsplash. Two guys arrived and within an hour the installation was complete. No issues. No problem. We love the new counter. The plumbers completed the faucet install the next day and they remarked how pretty the counter top was as well.

My husband and I go "window-shopping " here quite a bit. This Saturday evening we went for a…read morepurpose, and that was to buy a washer/dryer set. Lowe's employees must have smelled "Need" on us, as this is the first time we have had 4-5 people asking if we needed help with anything within 5 minutes! Impressive! Chris finally helped us with our questions and sold us a Samsung Steam Washer and Dryer within half an hour. As he was entering the information into the computer, he even offered NEXT DAY delivery. A Sunday?! What ? But yes. Lowe's delivers in Sunday now! Wow! So my husband agreed and asked where he was taking us for supper. LOL I think it shocked him because he seemed to stumble over his words. Haha. At the cash registers, Chris came up there to help out, and asked what we decided to do for supper. I told my husband I thought he was hungry. So he told him come on. But when we mentioned going to "the trough", he looked puzzled. (Our name for Golden Corral.). He wasn't impressed though. He did decline supper. Sorry Chris! You missed some pretty good food. All in all, our Lowe's experience was great this visit. We'll be back when it's time for a new refrigerator! Chris, keep your eyes peeled for us! Maybe we'll offer dinner somewhere else next time.

Then decided since I'm here.I'll take the rest of the stuff back and found out that it was two days outside of their ninety day return policy.

Found out from corporate.It's individual thing with each store whether they will return refund or give you a gift card for your return items. Being I desperately needed gas.That's why I was taking everything back.

As their self - proclaimed motto "We've been around longer tha. Elvis Presley", maybe unaware of the fact he is currently unavailable (due having passed on to higher pastures). Matter of fact, they have been in service since 1939, but they do also have a proud website (linked to Facebook and pinterest). So, why the 5 stars? Because Southern Hospitality is proudly worn with a smile and a kind word. You need to put up a shelf? how about replacing a doorknob? Is your fave painting pressing you to put him up on the wall? Look no further, they do have it all!!! This store is one of the few still opened for business in the center of town. Most stores in this area are suffering the suburb-fever. It is not part of a chain, which is another thing i simply ADORE!! And, what about their prices? Pretty nice. So, next time you want great costumers service and reliable info, head on to to Bible Hardware, you won't regret it!
