I think you have to get in line at the sales desk before you can talk to anyone. You cannot pick your wood out, but inspect the wood once it's delivered because that is the time you can return wood that is defective or otherwise a mistake. The guy at the exit gate was super friendly and just talking to him brightens up your day.

I had a Nut fall off my 4 Wheel Drive!!!…read more So I had to find a replacement!!! So I Checked my Yelp Application and Bay Bolt Popped Up. So I Rolled to Bay Bolt and I parked in their parking lot. I then Rolled In and waited patiently at the Front Counter!!! A Fastener Specialist came and asked if I had been helped? I explained that I needed a Replacement nut, washer and lock washer!!! He went out to my Vehicle and sized the Bolt and went and retrieved the nuts, washer and lock washer !!! We went out to my Vehicle to try the items out and they seem to be working fine!!! So I settled up and Rolled Out!!! Service was Friendly and Efficient!!! This is a Huge Warehouse loaded with Nuts and Bolts!!! Probably a Million type of Fastener's also !!!! If they don't have the Nuts and Bolts you want or the Fasteners!!! I don't know who would??? Lol This is a Baller On A Budget Approved Establishment!!!!

I'm working on a refurbishing/restoring project on my grandfather's rusty 1971 Winchester Model 120 and Bay Bolts had exactly what I needed. "Vintage" Winchester 120 bolts cost around $60-$80 online, which is absolutely insane. I got 4 of the same bolts for only $10 at Bay Bolts.

She retired, now her son and daughter are behind the counter. They're not nearly as competent as she was. Recently, I sent one of my artisans in with a sketch for a door eyebrow. The son got it wrong and consequently, the piece was fabricated incorrectly. He blamed it on my artisan, and refused to have it fabricated correctly without charging for the piece all over again. Bottom line, be really careful. He's made of Teflon. He'll charge you for his mistakes.

I totally recommend YH Sheet Metal. We asked them to fabricate a rectangular hot air duct with both…read morea 90 degree elbow and a 3 inch offset. The result was a perfect fit! The work was excellent and everyone at YH was very pleasant. They created the piece quickly and delivered on time. To top it off, the piece was so complicated that it wasn't possible to draw it by hand. A computer image was necessary. Unfortunately this image left off the flanges that we needed. When I picked up the piece, the flanges were missing. YH apologized and within a day had added the flanges. The service deserved more than 5 stars.

Folks here are detailed, professional and knowledgeable. They will get shit done…read more Very happy with the tiles and countertop I got here. Customer service was nice and even though the contractor who installed for us said a total of 4 sentences to us only, he was a pro and did a fantastic job. They are definitely a no-nonsense business. Get your shit together before you pull up to their store. Know what you want and make good and quick decisions. Would recommend and come back soon again!

Fast forward to 2024 - the hinge plate on one of the cabinet doors broke, probably because it had come loose and I tightened it too much. One quick call to Rick and we went to his showroom - he gave us replacements for the broken plate (which holds the hinge in place) as well as a spare, and threw in a selection of screws tailored for the hinge in question. He would not take payment, and all the while provided a running commentary on the care and use of our hinges. Top marks to this long-time professional.
