I had a wonderful experience. The staff were friendly and welcoming. They listened to my situation and were very helpful suggesting materials that would suit my needs. The gentleman who delivered the materials was friendly and unloaded everything and set the items in the location I asked. The service was prompt, organized and professional. I would definitely use them again!

We rented a scissor lift and when it arrived at the jobsite we asked that the driver wait while we used it for 15 min. The driver that delivered it loaded it back on truck and we were charged 198.00 x2, for delivery & pickup. The delivery truck did not leave the site. Called a couple times to question, no return call. When we finally spoke with Corey regarding the 2 charges he told us he would not do anything about it. They do not seem to care that we were a regular customer.
