Back when I started penning these here reviews, I never imagined a freaking global pandemic would…read moreimpact my experience at a business. But here we are. Two Covid-related issues shaped my impression of RAKS: * Overpriced, inflation-gauged plywood, definitely not their fault. * Literally no masking whatsoever, throughout the office, in mid-December 2021, at the height of the Delta variant and a state-wide mandate. I mean, they coulda at least attempted to post a sign on the door, or something. After you place your order you'll drive into the lumber yard and a forklift will arrive to load you up. The place felt very Unionized, a vibe I appreciate, so if you're a Union shop, RAKS, good on ya. I'm a sucker for supporting local alternatives to big box home improvement stores, but in this particular case, the big box right up the street -- Lowe's -- did a far more exemplary job of complying with a global health crisis than this particular alternative.

Stay away from this business. They will not deliver on the day which they tell you. The sales…read morepeople are have zero knowledge of the products they sell. I asked for some material which needed to be exterior grade, what they sent was NOT exterior grade, they don't seem to know how to pull up a material data sheet from the manufacturer and read it! The attitude from the personnel in yard is appalling especially the guy in the little "guard shack". You are all FIRED!

Great job and fast service! 2 days. I will be using them for future projects in my art business.read more

I've been a working fabricator for 30 years. My experience with NM Metals LLC at first was good but…read morenow I cannot in good conscience recommend this company at all. They lack the ability to make cuts to a specified size. I ordered 90 pieces of 16 gauge 3/4" square tubing at 52" that they charge me over $250 for. There was no consistency in the cuts. That varied 1/2", some less than 52" and some more that 52". Additionally they sold me a thicker material than I wanted. They lack customer service and made no effort to correct my order. They hung up on me. Now I have to recut every piece of metal. I've lost time and money. I will never use them again.

The material we purchased is beautiful. High quality. The recommendations we received on our first…read morevisit were great and the owner was very helpful. The reason for only 4 stars is this: When we went to pick up the materials, she couldn't find our paperwork and our order was not ready. The owner was scrambling to get it all together claiming she had no idea we were coming that morning. There was wood that still needed cutting, so this delayed our project. It would have settled bettered with us had she owned the mistake. Things happen. Instead, she made us feel that it was our fault. Thankfully, we had an invoice with the pick up date and details. They could not find their copy.

We just finished a big project with Groff. Very pleased, as I was debating the 4 or 5 stars - I…read morewent with 5. And the reasons are the main factors we like for "contractors", licensed, insured, timely with all interactions and promises, communicative through the whole process. I attached photos but Tom's advice, experience and constant attention are very appreciated. His crew of Orlando, Zach and Robert were polite, constantly measuring and checking on quality. Really transformed our new back patio and torn down and replace the front porch which had a leak going back years. Tom brought in quality contractors for work Groff doesn't do themselves. Julian for demo, stucco and cement. I could tell Tom and Groff's reputation during inspections and coordinating with others really paid off. This is our 2nd big Groff project at two different homes in ~ 20 years and although we shopped this around, Groff clearly was the right choice!

All of our windows and doors arrived on time and Rebecca was very reachable and responsive to our needs. We chose the Anderson 100 series because they look good and fit our budget.

This is, by far, the best window and door showroom we've been to in Albuquerque. Not to mention,…read morethe customer service is top notch. They are super knowledgeable and very helpful. They don't just try to sell you the most expensive products, but they give you honest advice from first hand experience. We are going to be building our house and windows have been a long process because I want to make sure we get the right products for our forever home. For some reason, with all of the research I've been doing, Pinon Windows and Doors never popped up on my radar to check out. Luckily, I was looking for a particular sliding door and their business came up on Anderson's website as a place that sells the door. Thank goodness!!! Definitely check them out if you're in the market for Windows or doors.

I'm very happy with my durable and very affordable Andersen 100 series. I'd recommend Western Building Supply, and especially contacting Linda, without hesitation.
