Report
Were early in a home renovation, and I was hopeful that this place would be a gold mine. We were hoping to buy new trim for the whole house, new doors, look for other bonuses like cabinets. None of the trim was in stock, doors werent labeled or organized, and we couldnt get anyone to help us. Dont bother visiting

You never really know what they're going to have when you go in. Even though their stock changes sporadically they always have something I'm looking for. The price is however are not much better than home Depot or Lowe's so it is sometimes not worth the trip to drive all the way there.

I'd called all over town looking for something with no luck. Called here, talked to Armando. I mentioned that if they had what I needed, it was going to take me 1+ hour to get there. He was willing to go check for me that they had what I needed. They did! The store was hopping when I got there, so I was glad I'd caught him the day before when he wasn't super busy. While I was there several people helped me navigate to exactly where I needed to get my product (it's huge, I saw many thin that will be useful, and I got turned around). Customer service was terrific, starting with Armando and all the

Purchased 75 boxes of flooring tiles on July 15. Scheduled contractor to pick up & install. Verified pick up time/date with store. Upon arrival, contractor called me to state they sold my order & would not assist in replacing . Totally unprofessional

Hit or miss here. The prices are ok but I've never even gotten as much as a "hello" when I go there. I've never had somebody ask if there's something they can help me find or what brings me in, which would be nice. They have a decent selection of things but alot of stuff without prices ect.
