Dear Emily, I'm not…read moresure if my husband, Ron let you know all the trouble we had trying to find someone who could help us find our handles for our Anderson French Doors. I could never reach anyone directly at Anderson Windows & Doors but tried 3 of their listed dealers but no one was able to help me. We even went to Fircrest Doors and the guy there not only took forever to follow back up with us but ordered the wrong one. He insisted it would work but the holes were not even close to being lined up. You are amazing as you not only always returned my emails but ordered the exact one we needed! Ron said you were so sharp with your knowledge and so helpful!! Thank you so much! Lynn Hamilton

The deliveries of stone went very smoothly, and the stones themselves are really terrific (see photo). Building a wall with these is admittedly a lot of work -- they are 65lb each, so we were pretty tired -- but they are worth it in the end. The stones are definitely a step above what you will find in big box stores. There are helpful videos on YT and on the Mutual Materials website about how to install a proper foundation for your wall with 4-6" of crushed rock compacted and leveled underneath, as well as a good drain system behind it (otherwise even a short wall will buckle and sink due to inadequate compaction underneath and hydrostatic pressure and freeze/thaw cycles pushing it up and out).

We purchased a product that did not perform as indicated. It was sold at Mutual Materials but not a product produced be them. Mutual Materials contacted the company, Apac Precast, who elected to replace their inferior product for free but would not finance the removal and instillation of the new product. Andy MacFarland and Ryan Hugg of Mutual Materials stepped up and financed the reinstall of the new product saying they sold the product and would stand behind it even if the producer did not. They said it was the right thing to do. How many businesses do that, especially now being challenged by Covid 19 pandemic and loss of revenues. I encourage you to patronize this business for all of your buliding supply needs. You can count on them!!
