I've been doing business with Diamond M Lumber since about 1980 as a homeowner, not as a…read morecontractor. I have always found them to be responsive to my needs. Their ginormous yard and store have about anything you could possibly want, consistent with an old fashioned country lumber yard. You can help yourself inside the store or they will provide assistance in finding what you need on the huge sales floor. The place is cluttered but they have about anything you possibly need from outsized lumber to real oak trimming, to multiple sizes and grades of plywood and treated plywood. They have many obscure items that a big box store wouldn't carry. Also, they offer bulk purchases of all manner of nails, screws and washers, right out of the boxes, as in days of old. If you are purchasing anything more than a few pieces or quantities of something, the owner will give you an adjusted price in many cases. A contractor I hired for a home addition relied on Diamond M for building supplies, especially since he needed some very outsized micro-lam beams to carry out my architectural plans. The downside of the business is that they are lacking an inventory control system and they use penciled pricing books to cost out an order, due to the lack of any computers at the counter. One employee told me jokingly that if he finds that something is out of stock, they tell the management and they will order a truckload of it! When I was in my prime, and doing a lot of work on my home and property, they came to know me. Whenever I walked in they would acknowledge me. Only once was the owner a bit snippy with me when I asked him a question while he was behind the counter but I didn't realize he was in the middle of some pricing estimates. So if you need something common and simple in small quantities, or if you need a huge barn beam and monster sized bolts to secure it, they will probably have it, or get it for you.
