    I've visited here at least a dozen times, both as a homeowner buying lumber and materials for my…read moreown small projects, and as an employee of a local plumbing company that has an account here, and have had no problems or complaints. Yes, their lumber costs more than the big box stores, but it's definitely better quality; besides, I like supporting a local business over a corporate giant. Their service is also light years better than Home Depot or Lowe's; the inside sales people at the service counter are professional in their demeanor and knowledge. I like their system for purchasing lumber and building materials. You go inside the store first; tell someone at the service counter what you need; and pay for the material. Then, you drive your truck inside the lumber warehouse, where you can either load the lumber yourself, or have an employee load it for you. It's much better than struggling to navigate a cart full of lumber through a big box store. The store itself has a decent selection of fasteners; a fair selection of tools; and only limited selections of specialty items such as electrical and plumbing. It's not trying to be a big box store, or a hardware store. But, as far as general building supplies, it's pretty much got everything covered. They recently started selling appliances also.

    They've gone downhill quite a bit. Having been a regular customer over the years multiple times for…read morelarger projects I went back to them again to get prices. The following week I went with cash in hand to pay for the materials for the project. Purely miraculously coincidentally they claim prices went up by $350 in one week. I get this lame excuse from the counterperson saying well lumber prices change weekly. The problem is lumber's down anywhere from 3 to 5% in the past month. So what they did was quote me a price a week earlier for in stock the same as they had in stock when I arrived and they raised the price $350. I asked to speak to a manager no manager comes out I ask for a phone call no manager calls. This is bait and switch lumber prices did not increase they decided to just arbitrarily and randomly raise prices and not honor what was quoted. I've spent over $40,000 over the years at Coventry lumber. Because they would not honor their prices I will never go back to them again.

    In my humble opinion, this is THE best plumbing supply company in Rhode Island! They are the…read moreepitome of professionalism, and the yardstick I compare other plumbing supply companies to (and many fall way short in comparison). I like Webb because it has a different setup than most plumbing suppliers. Instead of keeping their merchandise in the back of a warehouse, Webb keeps the commonly sold merchandise on shelves, where you can grab a cart or basket and pick out what you need - kind of like shopping at a supermarket. It's basically self-service, and once you get to know the store's layout, you can get in and out of there very quickly. The way I see it, it's easier and faster to just grab what you want, rather than describe it to a counterman, although all of the service counter employees at Webb are on the ball and know their stuff anyway. The store is very organized. If I don't know where to find a certain item on their vast array of shelves, I just ask someone. Larger items are kept in the warehouse, and most pipe is kept in the yard. In addition to plumbing supplies, they also have an extensive selection of parts and supplies for hot water, steam and forced hot air heating systems, as well as oil burners. While the supply section of the store caters mainly to trade professionals, they have a large plumbing fixture showroom that would be of interest to homeowners. They sell American Standard and Toto toilets, both of which are excellent brands. I always receive excellent service, both in person and over the phone. The supply countermen are very polite and professional, and even have a good sense of humor. Their inside salespeople have helped me track down hard-to-locate repair parts many times. Webb is in a very convenient, central location, just off I-95 in Warwick.
