People were knowledgeable, friendly, and willing to help. I was amazed at the selection and abundance of stock to choose from.

Scott the store manager for this location is very rude and unprofessional. I called for a simple question and he was condescending and completely unhelpful. I do not recommend this location read more

Everyone is extremely helpful and the store has maintained a small town feel all the employees seem to have knowledge of the entire store and if they are not sure they find someone else to help read more

Good lumber yard, some prices are fair and on par with the big box stores, while others leave you scratching your head as to why it's double that of Big Orange Store. Still a convenient lumberyard, in area lacking in lumberyards. read more

Better $ on lumber, staff ALL very polite and knowledgeable. Highly recommend. Stay away from Lowe's, they don't seem to know anything about customer service. Shop Calaveras ! read more

The inside is way bigger than it looks. They had the cutest whimsical decor, some rustic, some more modern. The larger wooden pieces are VERY well priced, low hundreds for well made new/vintage pieces. The outdoor garden is also surprisingly extensive! Had everything from rare/exotic houseplants to huge common native outdoor plants. Could definitely spend hours in here, happily. Staff is helpful and friendly but not overly invasive which is always nice read more

See all

Beware, when buying lumber, they will quickly load up their warped, cracked, damaged wood first. You will have to stop them and say "I don't want the warped knotted wood". I bought some redwood deck railing 2x2, they wrapped the pickets together 6 boards at a time. None of their store wrapped wood had tags stapled on the end of the boards identifying it, who knows what it was. At least 50% of the pickets were all white redwood, not even red. Some 3' pickets had a 1/2" bow to them. Very very disappointing, pay more for gas to travel and buy lumber elsewhere. shame on you for taking advantage of your non contractor majority. read more

Very helpful sales associates with strong knowledge of their department's wares. The store is large and has a wide variety of household and hardware needs. read more

Pretty disappointed and disgusted with our last trip to this hardware store. No employees roaming the floor had their masks on properly or were even wearing one at all. I had to ask several employees to back up or not to come near me. Another employee, who we did not ask for help, decided to walk over to us with her mask dangling off one ear. We asked her to put her mask on before she approached us. She became irritated and incredibly rude and belligerent. She even tried to talk us out of purchasing the products we specifically came to the store to buy because it meant she would need to order more and didn't want to, which she told us flat out. If you want to be an idiot and contract the Corona Virus because you're too selfish to put a piece of fabric over your nose and mouth, that's fine; it's your choice to get sick and die, but don't act surprised when other people don't feel that way and don't want you near them. We may choose to shop here again after the pandemic, but for now, I'm not giving them my business until they get their act together and take the pandemic seriously. read more

Great store. Nice, helpful people. Getting help with a billing problem is another thing entirely. Six calls to the accounts department over a one month period went unreturned. Bring back Cathy! read more

Stellar customer service everytime we've been here. The store is well stocked and has a great variety of Lumber,hardware and household items as well as a great nursery that offers frost and deer proof plants that we were looking for. I guarantee you won't be in here long before a employee greets you and offers assistance ... Wish my local ACE was this good! read more

Great hardware store in a small town that has just about everything you could ever want. Very friendly staff. read more

I love this place!! So many adorable gardening g and decorating items and well stocked with the parts we need for our tools! The service is exceptional!! read more

Calaveras Lumber - Great Place!! - Hardware Stores Near Me - Angels Camp, California

This review is mostly for the gardening supplies section although from my cursory glance the rest of the store seems to be up to any challenge whether you're a weekend-warrior handyman or a full fledged contractor. Like most men, I could easily fall down the rabbit hole dreaming up ways to spend my money here...and I wouldn't be upset! I found myself searching the various hardware/gardening stores looking for some very specific pots, soil, and fertilizers for a bonsai project I've embarked on. After spending many hours driving around I stopped in here and was blown away by the excellent presentation and selection of everything I could need. The folks at the register and floor staff we're very nice and helpful as well! A hearty 5-Stars for this great store! read more

Thank you Tim in the lumber department!! I had nice size order delivered to Forest Meadows. Thanks you for your patience after I made a few changes to the order. Great ace Hardware and Great Lumber Yard. read more

I've been undergoing a major remodel for the last two years, and have done my best to use Calaveras lumber since they are locally owned but, in the last six months or so their customer service has gone down the toilet. The final straw happened with an order for handrails. We placed a special order and had nothing but problems. We started attempting to get the order placed on August 8. It is now October 10 and we will have to return everything and start from scratch because Calaveras lumber screwed up our order so badly that it was going to be thousands more dollars to complete it properly. They did not offer to eat the cost, even though we know they have a 100% markup on the items and still would've made about $2000 on our order. Everybody makes mistakes but, it's how those mistakes are handled that I make the choice to frequent the business after or not. Lowes had an equally large mistake and fixed it and offered us an immediate 25% discount on our entire order. Calaveras lumber employees kept saying it wasn't their fault and putting us off and being incredibly rude. If you're just picking up some thing from the hardware store, this is fine but, if you are placing any special order, I would definitely go somewhere else. read more

Love our local independent Ace Hardware store. The always have what I need and if the don't they will order it for me if it is available. Staff is there to help in hardware, garden etc. SHOP LOCAL! read more

I am always helped as soon as I come in. Everyone is friendly and knowledgeable. When I ask for suggestions, the products are just what I needed and work! read more

Calaveras Lumber is one of my favorite stores in our whole community, they have something for everyone. The staff is knowledgeable and always ready to help. I feel like I have personal shoppers every time I go into the store. We are so lucky to have such an amazing business within our community. Thank you Calaveras Lumber and your whole staff for all the great products for me and my household. Sissy Hedrick read more

The employees were ALL friendly and helpful. I felt like we had our personal assistant when we walked in. We were looking for marshmallow forks and since it's not normally camping season November they were not on the obvious isle but the man went and found them for us. My only regret was I didn't get his name so I could acknowledge him here. read more

This is our go-to hardware and garden supply for the farm we are renovating. We frequently utilize the garden center and contractors desk. However this review is specifically because of our visit today. We stopped in to get some charcoal right at closing at one of the employees ran through the store to make sure we got the free item that was part of the current special they were having. We were completely unaware of this deal, but were so grateful for his consideration! Thank you again!! read more

Jeff! I came in and as per usual the staff was incredibly helpful. This time, I locked my keys in the car. Jeff did not hesitate when I asked him to follow me to my car and check it out. Turns out he was a mechanic and what a place for it to happen! The hardware store. He left and came back with a rod he was able to bend into place for us to flip the lock on the inside of my door. Jeff and the staff saved our day. He even helped us with some recommendations on bolts and washers after that (our original purpose for going). The entire staff was helpful during the ordeal, and didn't judge me afterwards. Thanks ace! read more

Employees aren't required to wear masks and neither are customers. I've spent a ton of money here in the last 15 years. Not requiring masks is a sign of disrespect. They have no idea who has Covid and who doesn't and they don't care. If you as a customer care, then don't shop anywhere that your not treated with respect. I will never set foot in Calaveras Lumber again, ever. And apparent Craig doesn't care. read more

This place has a little bit of everything, a very wide selection. I was camping in the area and needed a part for my trailer. They had it, and a whole lot more. Additionally the staff, much like the old school hardware stores (before big box stores) were knowledgeable and helpful. read more

You won't be in the store 5 minutes before someone is going to offer to help you. That someone will be knowledgeable, friendly, and helpful. I don't know how they do it, there often seems to be more people working there than there are shopping there. I do most of my work a few miles from the store, there's not many days that I'm not there at least once. There are very few mornings there's not at least one 40 ft truck unloading building materials. They move a LOT of material through that store. Their delivery service is great. The hardware section isn't large, but carries the most common merchandise. The tool department is very well stocked. The garden department? I inquired about some specific flowers. A wonderfully nice lady checked to make sure that they were included in their weekly order, and called me when they came in. If there's a line at the cash registers, someone calls a backup cashier immediately. Popcorn and coffee are free; these are nice people who understand the concept of customer service, something that's not that common these days. read more

This place has a serious selection of hardware needed in a more rural environment. I loved this place and staff are all super friendly, knowledgeable, and helpful. my go-to when in Angels Camp. read more

I say DITTO to Cindy L's review. We've used them a number of times for a business in the area and they're just dandy. Some of the clerks are young and so somewhat lacking in experience, but so polite and friendly that you don't really mind. Lucky to have them there, really, where there aren't a lot of businesses of that caliber. read more

I can't believe no one has written a review here! This is a great store! They have a great garden center, kitchen section, and seasonal items along with the usual hardware/home improvement inventory. I love the hardware section, I always find what I need. I haven't shopped their lumber yet, so I can't speak to that. The cashiers are always friendly and the people in hardware know their inventory. read more

The most helpful staff...ever! We were in a bind for a 12' 6x6 pressure treated piece of lumber. Nobody had it. Denise in the lumber department was forward thinking enough to say, "We have a 16' that we could cut down for you." Amen! Denise and Calaveras Lumber really saved the day as I ran in 10 minutes to closing. Thank you! read more

Family owned, helpful friendly staff, beautiful nursery and an entire lumber yard as well as home decor and gifts. Not to mention the spectacular Christmas dept they feature each year. read more

I stopped in because i was told they had a great nursery. The did have a good selection of bedding plants but I would not say they were a 'nursery". They had a few shrubs and trees but nothing that would constitute a landscape nursery. I am sure they get a lot of business from Greenhorn Creek, but if customers really want a fine selection of trees and shrubs they should drive the extra 15 minutes up Hwy 4 to Murphys Nursery. read more

Ten thumbs up. This place is phenomenal. We have a home in San Jose and live in Los Angeles and most hardware stores have associates that aren't knowledgeable and usually grumpy. But the folks at Calaveras Lumber in Angels Camp are amazing. Even their customers have helped me out with small construction questions I've had around the house we recently purchased in Angels Camp. Look forward to purchasing our new deck materials from these guys and using one of their local contractors. read more

The rudest cashier I have ever encountered works here. Went to buy an 89 cent I bolt needed two washers to go with it but oh my I didn't have the five digit number for my 9 cent washers. Was told by cashier if it wasn't in her "lookup" I would have to go get her the number. I said not today and left the store. won't go back for this reason and I sent an email 5 days ago and no response so guess it's ok they treat customers this way. read more
