After the big box store called and canceled my lumber order (because they said they only used a…read moresemi truck for deliveries and they couldn't drive it in my neighborhood) I called Shuel's Lumber. Not only did they say they could deliver to my neighborhood they also delivered same day for $69 less than the big box store. On top of that....the lumber for my deck cost me $345 less!!! Shuel's has my business from now on. Buy LOCAL!

I went to the store and they wouldn't refund or exchange it without a receipt. I paid cash and lost the receipt.

I've been wanting to check out this place for quite a while. Unfortunately, I happen to work the…read moresame hours that Helliesen is open - but I finally got off early and decided to check it out. I'm disappointed that they . I'm building some raised garden beds and decided to check out my options. Upon walking in, I was greeted by the amazing smell of popcorn! They've got a little machine with some delicious popcorn to snack on! Major plus for this guy - I love that stuff. Anywho - back to the lumber - my options were Douglas fir-larch, pressure treated lumber, and cedar. The douglas fir-larch is around $0.65 / LF. Pressure treated was about $1.65/LF, and cedar was around $3.30/LF. Based on the fact that I would have to seal the regular wood, I decided to go with 12' pressure treated. I'm a fan of local business, but prices have to be competitive. In this case, prices for a 2x8x12' was about 15% higher than at one of the big box retailers. In general, that seems like an approximate premium that you may pay here over the home improvement juggernauts. I was assuming that Hellisen only sold lumber, but they have quite a few other items. You can find a lot of wordworking tools and fasteners, as well as basic construction materials - but, mostly things that are wood related. If you like supporting local business and don't mind a small premium, Helliesen is a great option for lumber in Yakima. If they were open on saturdays, I'd buy a lot more lumber from here!

I've been a customer for a decade, I can't think of a single time I left disappointed because I didn't find what I was looking for. It's quite the opposite, as I've experience a self battle over choosing a socket because there are too many options! The same socket could be in 5 different sets. The staff here are super helpful and friendly. They are always at the register and on the floor crushing up and down the isle to help when it's needed. The best part is that when you're at the register, they are one of a few businesses that take Covid seriously. Masks, gloves, sanitizer, and APPLE PAY!!
