Portland Lumber Stores

"The local one that I deal with is very responsive, I bought an electrical panel from them and the main breaker was broken, and they were good to exchange the product for us without any hassle."

"We are doing several remodel projects and are frequent customers of . They are always well-staffed and immediately ask if they can help when you walk into the store. For a smaller hardware store, they have a surprisingly good selection of items. I like that I can get in and out of the store relatively quickly."

"Everyone in this friendly neighborhood store really goes the extra mile to be helpful and answer questions. (especially from novices) They take the time to listen and help you locate items on the shelves. It is a great neighborhood resource and I prefer to spend my money locally rather than the bigger chain hardware stores. They are always very welcoming ...more to children in their store too!"

"Took some time to get estimate due to sub-contractors schedule. Estimate was high but selected this firm because I was not able to supervise & observe job in person and wanted to go with a firm that would stand behind the work. Work was slow to start and materials were left at job site for some time - this is a rental house and the tenant called ...more me concerned that materials could walk away since they were just left along side the street. Installation was satisfactory with one exception - the gate latch was installed such that you had to reach over the gate when exiting from the yard; the tenant is short and couldn't get out. Called

and asked to have sub-contractor take care of this - took too long to fix this problem."

"I was in despair. The painters were expected within hours and I never thought there would be a problem matching the paint. 's painting associate was at a loss until he remembered that , also a paint associate, had a good eye for color and called her in. She set right to work, confiding that her skill as ...more a photographer has developed her eye for color. Approaching the task methodically

teased out the formula for the color which allowed me to return for two more gallons when we ran out. I do not know what I would have done if

had not worked her magic but I am very glad I did not have to find out."

"For the last three years I have lived in the area, this store in the Pearl has been an incredible resource. All of the staff are kind and helpful, and have steered me clear of problems well ahead of finding them myself half way through a home project. I highly recommend them for just about any small- to mid-sized home project."

"EXCELLENT. I returned to this store a couple more times for more advice and supplies. They outfitted me with only what I needed to get the job done and I saved a lot of time and money. The job I did looks great and not because of my hard work. The stain/finishes they sell are less toxic that you would find at other places and the people staffing this ...more store come with years of experience. Knowledge is key! Also, I was given a pile of Christmas cookies - I must have looked starved but I ate them all the way home and they were great! Kind thanks to somebody's mommy (sorry that I forgot your name)."

"We were looking for inexpensive solid surface countertop, installation uncomplicated. The bid took about a week, had to remind them several times. We decided this could be a do it ourselves project. Materials alone $2429, they had 2 of the 3 slabs available, we gave them our credit card over the phone. Checked in physically 2 days later about the order, ...more we were told that the 2 slabs still available. We received a call yesterday that the order was not put in and now the slabs are not available and the wait is 6 weeks. We were told that we could buy a more expensive slab that was available, larger and thicker. I was disappointed that they weren't willing to to discount for their error. Happy that I found the same material at the hardware store for roughly the same price which includes delivery."
