There are so many samples to look at in person at the store. Oscar will guide you to quality materials within your budget.

I've been shopping at Menards for many years and love their 11percent off sales. Needed to pick up…read moreone item the other day and was able to get in out quickly. They had plenty of open cashier's. Stores are clean, and seem to have almost everything under the sun for a home improvement store.

Not having been back to a Menards in a very long time, I found the prices still to be the lowest…read moreamong the major home improvement centers (i.e. Home Depot, Lowes), but the service this time was really good. Frankly, this surprised me. Menards was a very important name early in my adulthood where free moments were occupied doing various things related to home improvement, and every weekend meant at least one trip to Menards. You accepted the observation that service and quality was better at other places, but the prices couldn't be beat and you had to weigh how long the product had to last. And for things that needed to be changed out (batteries, light bulbs), buying it at Menards was a no-brainer. Also, I worked in Wisconsin, and many co-workers would tell unpleasant stories about friends who worked at HQ and the main DC in Eau Claire. So this is the view that I lived with. This time my BIL wanted to go to Menards initially, so that's where we started. I ended up going back by myself multiple times because of my experience (and will probably go back again while in Chicago). There were multiple times when I couldn't find what I was looking for (I had time so didn't mind wandering a bit), or had to do something different (purchase toilets that would be later picked up by our contractor)...and each time, when I asked someone in that giant warehouse, they would direct me to the right place, call someone over to help, or walk me to the place that had it if I had gotten lucky and asked the right department. Every person was pleasant and didn't appear to be in a hurry (which greatly helps a customer not feel bad about interrupting). Some things don't change though...this week, they have their 11% rebate on everything sale...20 years ago, I remember coordinating getting the right rebate form, sending the right receipt with it, actually mailing it in, and then forgetting about it, until a postcard came later with a credit to spend at Menards. They are notorious for this...the other box retailers have made rebates more automatic and digital, Menards continues to use postal mail, mainly so a larger percentage of people just drop out...plus it is a store credit, so it encourages to shop more in the future. And of course, because they are so big, they have the opportunity to purchase things not related to home improvement in bulk at certain times, and pass the savings on to their customer. They have groceries (not great prices), but you will also find baked goods, and frozen shrimp for really low prices. You just can't depend on it always being available.

If you like HGTV and the ideas they have on their remodeling shows, you will love Heller Lumber…read more Not because it's got rows and rows of glitzy remodeling ideas, but rather because after you get your ideas from surfing through Houzz and Pinterest, this is the place that will sell you the exact materials you need to do those things. My wife and I wanted to replace our rustic fireplace mantle with a smooth cedar 4x10. That's a type and size of wood that Big Box stores don't carry, nor will they even bother ordering one. (Big Box stores are all about moving quantity, not quality.) So we called Heller. I've known about Heller from my days of working in construction when I needed to order specialty doors and wood trim. I've always enjoyed working with them because they are knowledgeable, friendly and the only 'attitude' they have is one of helpfulness. Maybe that's what comes when a family runs a business and cares about maintaining a great reputation. So if you are in the market for any high-quality wood products for your home, inside or out, make Heller your first stop. Their prices are competitive, their customer service is unmatched and you'll get exactly what you need to make your home look exactly the way you want.

Good knowledgeable people, good material and an exemplary culture of caring. Too bad I can't do 6 or 7 stars. THANK YOU Heller Lumber!

I ordered this fan, and they promised it would arrive the next day, but the product did not arrive…read more I returned the next day, and again, got the same response. I really needed that fan, but they didn't even call me to inform whether it would arrive or not. They just said I would receive an email when it arrives. I noticed I didn't receive any message, went back to them, and She showed no interest in ensuring that my product would arrive quickly. Now they told me to keep waiting for the product. Essentially, she has no interest to help me get the product faster no interest in assisting me to expedite the product's delivery. The communication is horrible when I read all the reviews I thought they are joking but not this is true. The communication is horrible.
