  We purchased a variety of materials from here for our house build: lumber, OSB, exterior doors, Hardie board siding, and roof trusses. The salesmen we spoke to were all cordial and patient as they helped us with quotes and orders. Their prices are very fair. The lumber and OSB were of excellent quality. Our doors came undamaged and were exactly as we ordered them. My issue with this location stems from a SEVERE lack of communication. The trusses we ordered were larger than what we’d asked for. Apparently they had taken the dimensions from our original quote rather than the final order my husband had put in. We were also over quoted for our siding by $1000 worth of material. We were given a quote that stated we needed $5000 worth of boards., and we only used $4000 worth of material. By the time we realized this we were well past the return date. Bruh... We were compensated for the trusses, and not compensated for the siding. Also, we would randomly be missing items in our shipments and would have to wait and remind them with multiple calls for those items to finally arrive. Overall, this place was a headache to deal with. Would not recommend buying anything other than lumber and raw materials.

  Ordered siding first I must say the staff was helpful .anyway I ordered siding they said 6 weeks tops after 9 weeks it still didn't arrive I ask all the time where the siding was and they couldn't tell me ...wha t kind of logistics program are they running? So I called another company on Thursday and that company delivered the same siding the next day on Friday! As I stated I don't blame the staff but as for going to 84 lumber again that is never gonna happen also the company that delivered all my siding materials the next day was also 1,000.00 dollars cheaper good luck 84 but you will never see me again

  I'm building a deck. Need a lot of lumber, and a lot of joist hangers, thought I'd order from 84 instead of Lowe's because they're smaller company. Basically the same prices, same delivery charge. I did my homework, gave part numbers for all the Simpson joist hangers I wanted, though I did specify "or equal", they sent me Simpson but not the triple zinc I ordered, so they're not "equal", they're "lesser"! I'm not stupid here, I ordered what I wanted. And they didn't send me everything I ordered, but didn't bother to tell me what they didn't send, so that's not very helpful. They also sold me (3) 12 mm nuts instead of the half inch I ordered for the carriage bolts, sloppy error there that I had to go to Lowe's to fix. But mostly, the lumber sucks. Lots of big knots. Lots of boards cut from the log edge with rounds on both edges, so they're effectively useless. And I don't know if it's true for all pressure-treated lumber these days, but none of the boards are actually correct dimensions, ranging 7.125 to 7.375 on a 2x8. How the hell am I supposed to work with this junk? Each piece requires unique mounting of the cheap joist hangers, what a pain! I'm looking at probably 10% loss on 12 foot 2x8's, how depressing is this? I am feeling done with 84 lumber.
