We absolutely have to give a huge shout out to Mike at Coe Lumber at West Broadway, Vancouver. Came…read morein Thursday Jan 19th 2023. My friend and I just needed some melamine for a quick kitchen shelving project and between us we managed to figure out a way of getting all the pieces required out of a single board. Mike quickly set about measuring and cutting. We couldn't have done it without his kind, helpful, encouraging attitude and approach to even this simple little endeavour. It appears no project is too big or too Small ! Thanks again, Mike. ;)

This was actually the first hardware store where I encountered this as all the chains, even smaller ones, let you browse. They definitely take the pandemic seriously as on top of the no browsing, they have a very fancy system with a light signal telling you when you can come inside where staff will ask you what you want ring you up and then have someone bring your purchase out to your car. It's a pretty effixient efficient system. They also carry sand topping mix, which is sold out pretty much everywhere else in Vancouver. Prices are competitive, not cheap but not expensive. As an independent business, they have a convenient location in kitsilano that is a good alternative to big box stores. The parking lot is small, but does the job.

Apparently very hard to find but we did spot a larger tile at the store that would be perfect but too big. Out of the kindness of his heart Bill, the sales manager not only cut the tile but gave it to us at no charge. Who does such kind acts?

For years I've been looking for a reason to shop at Greenworks. From the time I first saw the…read moreproprietor, Alastair, on stage at Epic! to the kitchen reno of a friend, done with materials from Greenworks, I knew I had started a store love affair. Then one fateful rainy afternoon, Peter S and I were walking by. And it just so happened we'd just come from a neighbour's apartment that was being renovated. Needless to say, we had flooring on the brain. If you are into home finishings and fixtures like tiles, flooring and paints AND are someone who is also committed to sourcing environmentally sustainable items, this store is right up your alley. The staff is knowledgeable -- not just about the item, but also about its environmental footprint. They host workshops -- although according to their website -- their last one was held in July. The shopping experience itself is no pressure, quiet, and relaxed. We could take our time roaming and when we were ready, they sent us home with 2 bamboo flooring samples. Do I want to make sustainable choices for my apartment? You bet. I just need to save an additional sum to do so! Worth it? To me, yup.

In the midst of kitchen reno decision making, my man and I came here to get some sustainable…read morerenovation advice. We received some great advice, helpful service, and found some awesome tile options for the backsplash. I had been hoping to have a look at the Fireclay Tiles in person and they stock these here. Absolutely beautiful and made of recycled materials. Another wonderful bit of advice was regarding our counter top. We had our hearts set on a brand where there is a factory in Canada, but being that there is also a factory in Korea, it was hard to know which colour options came from which plant. We were able to find out from Diana that the colour we had chosen is made in Canada, which was great news. Other stores had not been able to provide this information, or told us incorrectly the material was made in China, or it was all made in Canada. They carry a lot of bulk and refillable cleaning supplies that are all green and earth-friendly. And should you need a chicken coop, they have those, too!
