“I have shopped with Ace, in Gorham anyways, since I was nothing. For the years I have, there's always someone there working I know - which makes for a warm environment. Their stock is decent, the atmosphere calm. I tell you my favourite thing about this one, is it doesn't drown me in obnoxiously loud tunes like some stores do. The staff is friendly, the floors are clean. I don't suppose I could ask for any more.”

“Had a pallet of pellets delivered earlier this week. Being very pregnant, it took me a moment to waddle my way over to the garage to greet the delivery driver. Not only did this wonderful man go above and beyond to put the pellets in the garage, but he asked if we could pray together for the safe and speedy delivery for both myself and my son. His kindness moved me to tears, and is yet another reason we will continue to use Steep Falls Building Supply for everything we need.”

“I always like going to this Rockler store. Staff are very friendly, helpful, and knowledgeable, and they carry some nice items and supplies. The item I was after happened to be out of stock today, but it can be ordered easily enough. Based on what I have overheard, this is a good place for both experienced woodworkers and novices. Staff are very respectful and almost always able to assist. Definitely recommended.”

“Really nice owner and long-term employees. I've been shopping here for about seventeen years now. Recently I bought a $700 lawn mower from them, had it delivered, and it was defective. They switched it out for me by coming back to my house without any hassles. They even said to let them know if I have any issues with the replacement. Try that at Lowes, haha!”

“I wanted to recognize Matthew at Harbor Freight for providing truly exceptional customer service. He absolutely exceeded my expectations from the moment I walked in. His product knowledge was outstanding, and he was able to find exactly what I needed in what felt like seconds. Not only was he incredibly knowledgeable about the products and their proper applications, but he was also friendly, professional, and genuinely eager to help. It’s rare to come across someone who combines expertise with such excellent customer service. Employees like Matthew make a lasting impression and are a huge asset to your company. In my opinion, he would make an outstanding store manager, and he certainly deserves recognition, a promotion, or a raise for the level of service he provides. Thank you, Matthew, for making my shopping experience such a positive one!”

“I bought tomato plants from Lowe's this spring, eight of which were Bonnie plants labeled Beefsteak. I grow them every year and love that they are so large. More bang for your buck! Except that these turned out to be NOT Beefsteaks. They are small tomatoes and shaped like Oxhearts, something Bonnie doesn't even grow?! I did contact Bonnie with photos and they had no idea what they were. Another one of the alleged Beefsteak plants never really grew and will produce only about five tomatoes! What a bummer! I contacted Lowe's 800 number and they forwarded my info to my local store and was contacted by a nice lady here in Scarborough. She apologized, refunded my purchase price and sent a $20 gift card, too! She did say that they come labeled so it wasn't something that they would have done at the store.It's a weird thing to happen, but this IS 2020, so that's what they are. 2020 tomatoes. In any case I appreciate the way Lowe's handled it! The other tomato plants are correct and producing lots of fruit. Ironically I had purchased the tomato plants from Lowe's instead of Broadway Gardens since did they not have any Beefsteaks this year.”

“Having Hammond Lumber supply my building materials for 3 structures during the past few years has been an excersize in frustration. A new home and two garages were included in this build. On the positive side, the sales representatives are professional and responsive to issues and mistakes that occur. Unfortunately, these mistakes cost money when contractors can't work efficiently due to missing material. I wasted countless hours driving to get items that should have been delivered with my materials. Another major disappointment was my experience with Boise Cascade who designed and provided my roof trusses. They completely failed to follow the designs they were provided. It changed the entire look on the garage. I paid in excess of 9K for trusses that were not in compliance with my drawing. Shouldn't the homeowner get to approve the final designs before they get released to be built. Apparently not! When their error was brought to their attention, they offered a $150 dollar credit. What a joke. Never again with Boise Cascade. Hammond should be embarrassed to have them as a supplier of roof trusses. Another concern was the condition of the material at the time of delivery. It was haphazardly loaded and secured with safety staps. Boxes were opened, torn and loose material was simply thrown on top. Several products were damaged and unusable. A picture is worth a thousand words. Despite my desire to reject these deliveries, I can't afford to send crews home because Hammond personnel can't do their job. Regretably, pride in your work is not a standard Hammond Lumber attempts to achieve. In summary, do I believe that mistakes happen, ... sure. Will I consider using Hammond in the future, ..... surely not.”

“I went to the Lowes in Scarborough and the employees were unhelpful and borderline rude. I decided to go and see if the Brighton location was any better, and thank goodness I did. Where Scarborough wouldn't help me place a $3k order for a fence, Matt at the Brighton Ave location was friendly, helpful, and even pulled some strings to get the supplies delivered a day earlier than expected. I'll drive further to go to this location from now on. Kudos to Matt!!”
