Came back next day, no greeting...same guy, explained we were there the day before. Go back there(he points to the very back of store), see if they even have anything that small. Finally, the guy that helped me in the back said hi (wow!) he found what I needed and was great. Take it back in, met by a woman who never said a word, but was stuffing her mouth with a bagel and chewing as she handed me the receipt. Charming and warm motley crew.

This is what every business in America should look like. Family owned, staffed by long term,…read morehonestly paid neighborhood people who know their product lines. There's not much more to say. Normally prices are lower than what you pay for the Chinese junk in Home Depot and almost certainly the quality is better. Delivery is no problem and the guys who bring the stuff are sincerely nice people who will bend over backwards to help. Centre Millwork got its start maybe 80 years ago back in what was the industrial part of town. Mr. Roth, a local builder set up shop building kitchen cabinets. If you're a longtime Long Beach owner, you've seen his "Holiday Cabinets". After relocation by a corrupt urban renewal project. Centre got a new start at the foot of the Long Beach Bridge. For lumber and building materials, I simply wouldn't consider anywhere else. They have a great kitchen cabinet area where you'll pay significantly less for top quality stuff. Check out Centre Millwork. They're one of the nicest businesses in town and certainly among the fairest to their employees.

(I can't remember their names right now, so I'll leave them out for now) The first time I stopped in, I spoke with someone about Fypon molding. He spent a pretty long time with me and gave me a very detailed quote and several weeks later we ordered them. Since two pieces were very long, we had them delivered. Very satisfied. Eventually we ordered many cabinet handles, shutters, house numbers, crown molding , colonial window trim, Sheetrock, plywood and Azek beadboard molding. Much of that was also delivered. Still very satisfied. Here, I feel like if I ask a question, and the guy I'm asking isn't 100% sure, he's not going to BS me, he'll ask someone else. That's great service. Overall, their prices are pretty decent, too. I highly recommend them. And I hope I remember their names so I can go back and edit this.

I bought an exhaust fan for my new wood fired oven from Volko. They were extremely knowledgable…read moreand helpful in taking time to discuss my installation and suggest the best option for my situation. Later, when I thought I either overheated and ruined the fan motor or the fan motor was defective they walked me through the options for testing the motor and started the warranty process just in case the motor was defective. Because the fan is on a high roof and difficult to get to I went ahead and bought a new start capacitor and a new motor to only send the repair person up there once.. As it turned out, the motor was fine. The fan was turning very slowly because a paper towel got sucked up the flue and was dragging on the fan slowing the motor way down. YAY, I did not need the new motor. Volco was great. I was allowed to ship back the expensive motor for a refund and received the refund very promptly. Capacitors, of course, are never refundable. The fan works great and keeps my covered and mostly enclosed patio smoke free. I will never deal with any other company for high temperature exhaust fans and fan parts. THANKS VOLKO!!!!
