There is always 3 or 4 employees walking the aisles. They don't point you to where an item is, they walk you to it and make sure it is what you need. They are knowledgeable in their recommendations. Their prices are a bit higher than the big box stores, but their employee to customer interaction is worth spending those extra few bucks.

I had such a great experience thanks to Isaiah! From the moment I walked in, He greeted me with a…read morewarm smile and a positive attitude. He was incredibly helpful, patient, and knowledgeable, answering all my questions and making sure I found exactly what I needed. The day I went in my husband couldn't go with me so I was completely lost in what I needed so he was kind enough to go through all the different options I had. It's not every day you come across someone who genuinely cares about the customer experience, but it's clear that Isaiah takes pride in his work. I really appreciated the extra effort and friendly service. I hope his management team sees this so credit is served where it's due.

I usually shop at a big-name box store, and the experience typically goes like this: my friend and…read moreI dig through heavy lumber trying to find decent boards, while employees walk past without offering help. On Friday, we were looking for 2" x 10", 16' Douglas fir. The boards were stacked just high enough to be awkward, and they were heavy and damp. The two of us must have looked slightly ridiculous wrestling them down -- yet several employees passed by and never asked if we needed help. We were also told T&G plywood was in stock. After waiting 20-30 minutes while someone "went to look," we eventually tracked down a manager who confirmed they were actually out. We spent nearly an hour there and had planned to place about a $1,000 order. The next day, we decided to try Big Creek Lumber right off Hwy 1 - very easy to get to - and what a difference. We were in the lumber yard less than five minutes when someone driving a forklift stopped, turned it off, and asked if we needed help. He walked us directly to the 2x10x16' Douglas fir. When we noticed it was damp, he immediately showed us where the kiln-dried lumber was inside the warehouse. When we still didn't find exactly what we needed, he personally walked us into the sales office, introduced us to one of the agents, and explained what we were looking for. The level of helpfulness was honestly surprising, in the best way. After finishing in the yard, we went inside for hardware. Even in the store, multiple people checked in to see if we needed assistance. At one point, even another customer offered help! The lumber yard is huge, the staff is attentive, and the entire experience was efficient and pleasant. We'll absolutely be back.
