I was waited on quickly, took me to look at some comparison options between what we currently have and what's available. Even helped me identify some local homes that had the roofing we are thinking of. Highly recommend.

Now Ive since gone to other places including the ABC in downtown Portland. ABC Beaverton is like a different company. (I had a very satisfying experience at the Portland store). I asked the woman here about shingles and she very slowly said (as if she was talking to a mentally handicapped, which I'm not btw), " Well there Malarkey, GAF, or Owen Corning. They are all pretty good.". it was like the scene from Dumb and Dumber when Harry asks "what's the soup de jour" and the waitress said "its the soup of the day". I almost said, mmmm that sounds good. I'll have them all. Does she not know that each manufacturer has multiple products? She must have thought I was retarded... she sure acted like it. I still haven't seen the bid via email which she said would be the easiest way to quote my product list. Go to Woodfeathers if location is top priority or go downtown ABC if the brand is your concern. Theres also Roofline in Lake O which were all customer service oriented, pleasant experiences.

    Barbur Rentals - Hunting trophies from back in the day when Portlanders used to do that kind of thing

    Glad these guys are gone, at least from SW PDX. Their sleezy business practices and generalized…read moredishonesty were a blight on the neighborhood. Wasn't always like that; they had been a reputable fixture to the neighborhood for decades, which those who live and work nearby valued. A good, well maintained selection of equipment that the staff was knowledgeable with, together with business practices that empasized service, made them a welcome asset worthy of repeat customers. Then something changed. Gone was the service and maintenance, in came ... something else. Good Riddance.

    When you are renting tools for half a day transportation time is a factor. Most tool rental places…read morewill have similar selections. So go to the nearest. That meets your needs. But this review goes to the root of tools. There is a romanticism, and it is deserved, about tools. One romanticism are tools used by, and inherited from, great (great, great) grandparents. In that era, American tools were made in, well, America. Same for most countries, respectively. Some are my most prized possessions. Forward to Japanese tools, Taiwan tools and Chinese tools. By the way, there are some fine German tools about. And there is a whole galaxy of European stationary power tools. Meanwhile we have consumer values and the clean and new aesthetic. Now, new is all. Shiny. And today is buy brand, not buy to pass on to generations, homes, art, clothes, furniture - and tools. Brand replaces family values. In this context, we are talking tools, rented. You are renting, not passing on, or using extensively. You can go to another big box rental and get a clean branded machine. In rental, the durability and reliability of makers does not matter. If it fails, return for credit! Or you can buy failure-prone tools from China. Think Chicago Tools at Harbor Freight. I have noticed some contractors buy tools intent on destroying them in the warranty period or losing them - a perfect option in that inexpensive tools "business model is disposable". Just build it into the cost structure. But think, every material object-tool takes resources and carbon to make. Why landfill it or destroy after minimal use? Immoral, in my view, to buy it, trash it and landfill it. Another option is to buy used durable and reliable brand tools on the secondary market. Or if you use a tool often, or desire to pass it through generations, buy durable, reliable, quality. But if you need a tool infrequently or once upon a time, rent it! Yes, Barbur tools for rent are, well, well used. But they are not there for ego-stroking new and shiny, they are there to do a job. And yes, this rental place buys a tool and runs it into the ground. But if it works for you in the SW hood, I say go for it. Barbur rental has party supplies, think weddings; and tools. They have many of their items in an online list, but it is always a good idea to tour the yard and the tool room and get their paper list. Hey, you might find something you did not know you needed to rent, or that you might need in the future! I've mainly rented jackhammers and hammer drills with bits. I would suggest that you double check the bit chucks up before you leave. I rented a demolition hammer only to discover the bit had been peened out of usability on the chuck side. If it's your own tool, abuse it, whatever, but don't do that otherwise. And don't do to a rental tool. They did refund my money on that problem. I would say that barbur does not have the shiny, but limited selection, power tools the big box does. They have old, well used tools, to do your job. I know my tools, and know when Barbur is better than other options. You want to get the job done, not get your shiny ego massaged. So suggest know your tools and rent wisely when it is the best option.. Barbur does go down in the Portland Museum of Oddities list. The owner keeps his collection of big game head trophies on the wall. I asked, they don't rent them, but if you were a set decorator for a major film or series, maybe they would! Medium size tool and party rental shop with fine service. Worth engaging if you are in the 'hood, know your tools and check function before renting, Just don't mix tools and parties! Demolition hammers - do not bring to weddings!

The wood is lovely and smooth, requiring little in the way of prep to make it look beautiful. Even if the price per foot is a bit higher, you will make up the savings in prep. I had them do a custom knife to match existing trim on our 30 year old home and it came out beautifully.

This place is a pleasure to work for, I find myself always showing up at least a half hour just so I'm not late but also so I can start working. Most place you work for, there are bosses and people who think they are above you cause they been there longer then you. so when you all them a question, they treat you like they are a bully. Here at Hardwood Industries, they treat you like a Bestie, and answer your questions. they will even show you multiple times till you get it and they don't get mad. they want you to do your job 100% correctly, cause that is the only way we can succeed in this business. I started on the chain, now I'm in recieving. I'd definitely recommend this place to work for. The upper management will say hello and share thier experience with you if you ask. This place is like a family in a way. if you are needing a place to work that is comfortable to work at, come here. Hardwood Industries, where they are your Bestie and not a Bully.

Maria was a good listener and had a very good sense of color and texture. She gave us several choices and made recommendations, which we followed.

When I called to make an appointment, the woman who answered was friendly and helpful but said an appointment wasn't needed and feel free to just come in. I indicated that I would prefer an appointment and she confirmed that wasn't a problem and booked one for later in the week for us. We were treated with a smile when we came in for our appointment and pointed in the direction for the type of material we believed we were interested in. She then told us that the woman who was going to help us would be over very shortly. The designer was over shortly and took a little time to understand and get information on our project and what our vision was. She pulled a few samples and as we talked through the design concepts we changed our vision a bit and she lead us through some ideas. Her next pull on the product hit it out of the ballparks and we landed on the backsplash we ended up ordering. She was great. They took down the information and confirmed they would relay the information to our contractor who would also confirm the amount we would need. We then went back in a few days later to make the payment for the material. Once again we were warmly welcomed and very quickly supported with the payment. I would absolutely recommend CFM for their staff, service level, knowledge and vast variety of products and assistance.
