Amazing customer service…read more Gualala Building Supply is my new go-to whenever I have a home-repair question. I've called and visited in-person a number of times to ask about supplies and what time of year to undertake various projects. As a new homeowner, I am realizing that home ownership entails constant upkeep projects! Most recently, I needed firebricks to line my wood burning stove. When they did not have enough in store, Gualala Building Supply promptly ordered more and called me directly when they arrived. I appreciate their employees making themselves available for recommendations, as well as their follow through on orders!

Good helpful people. Great to have a building supply place here. They've got most of what I need.read more

We are in the middle of a build of a bbq shack trying to use repurposed and reclaimed wood. When…read moreour reclaimed lumber fell thru for the ceiling at the last minute, we had no choice but to scramble on a Saturday morning for 14ft boards. We called several places in Marin, Sonoma and mendo county. Barnes lumber not only had one of the best prices, but they were able to mill our wood that day! They stayed open so we could drive up from Santa Rosa after work to pick up our order! Super friendly, wonderful couple that run the mill. Fast forward 2 weeks and we find that we accidentally cut a board wrong and found ourselves short a board. Once again Barnes Lumber to the rescue! They custom cut our last 14ft piece, 10 3/4 just what we need to finish the job! Super pleasant. We talked to them at 9 am and order was ready by noon.

Homeowners just be discerning when it comes to working with these folks for your window shades and…read morecoverings. Less than 3 years ago our home was furnished with 10 Hunter Douglass shades from these folks. We're pretty delicate and gentle on our home and take a great deal of pride in keeping everything in tip top shape. One of the shades opened up on itself (it failed) probably due to poor glue or not enough glue where the shade is held together. Reached out to these folks to see what they can do. It's under warranty but for two weeks I got dragged around by someone telling me they're going to see if Hunter Douglass would do us a solid and fix the blind just to find out that neither they or Hunter Douglass are willing to stand behind what I know was multiple thousands of dollars of work in our home. They have every excuse under the sun and the bottom line is: these guys will pass the buck and they won't stand behind their work. Think long and hard before you sink big money like that into a project with these guys. Eventually we will need to replace our window dressings and I def wont be calling them. Super disappointing.

I've never bought lumber before my purchase last week. I wasn't even sure what to call the pieces…read moreof wood I wanted, so I asked about fence posts, but thankfully the employee helping me figured out I just wanted some 6' fence slats. I had actually brought a piece of the fence with me, since the top had a dog-earred cut to it that I was hoping to match. Frank was really nice and patient and explained the choices of wood they had, and what was best for my needs. And then he walked me over and helped me find some galvanized nails that would work for my project as well. I'm planning to replace some pieces in a really old fence that has some pieces rotting away at the bottom and others that are completely broken in half. I'll probably need to go back in and get a couple of top and bottom rails, but I'm much less intimidated to return now. After I purchased my 10 boards, Frank showed me where to go (across the street) to pick up my cut lumber. I had actually just come from the DIY car wash right next door to the lumber yard, and never even realized they were part of the same store. The young man working over there was nice about taking the piece of wood I had in my car and cutting the new pieces to the same angles. And the additional charge for this was really nominal. Their prices were great all around. And the wood was really nice quality. It'll be such a great upgrade; once I learn how to replace the pieces that need to come out and install the new beauties!
