Home Improvements in Dunkirk, NY

“Because of a personal mission I've been on of late, I found myself stumbling into ADD Lumber located over on Brigham Road in Dunkirk. Since I've never really been in the market for lumber, I never stepped foot into this store-in fact, I'm ashamed to say that I was a bit surprised to see there was a store to walk into and not just a lumber yard. I wish I had looked a little better a few weeks back when phase one of my project has me staggering into Home Depot four times in one day out of stubbornness.Anyhow, though I wasn't able to find what I was looking for (an item called egg crate and/or pegboard made of something that won't dissolve if it were to get wet or damp) I did locate a few items that actually helped me to see things in a different light-without having to order any of the materials and then wait for them to arrive.It all worked out for the best and now I can add ADD lumber to one of the places I can check out the next time I get to feeling creative and the local Walmart just isn't diverse enough to help me build all I can build, lol.And the gentleman behind the country was pretty nice too considering it was after 5 pm (closing) when I gave in and asked him if he had what I had been wandering through the entire store looking for. Unfortunately, he couldn't help me but that doesn't reflect on the business one bit for me. I could've been asking for a little person with a 20lb sapphire embedded in their forehead. The salesperson wouldn't have that to sell either but it would be how he told me he couldn't help me with my request that would really be the important part of a review.ADD Lumber gets my seal of approval and if the owners are reading this, please note that I really will take a little person with a 20lb sapphire in their forehead should one become available for sale. Who wouldn't?”

“I have loved Tractor Supply since before it was Tractor Supply, in fact most of the time I still call it Central Tractor. This store was no exception. The store was very well stocked, with an organized layout. Staff here were super helpful and friendly and prices were very competitive.”

“I could wander the aisles of this store for days on end if they would let me. The variety of products in any Home Depot is as humongous as my curiosity. And while many customers would find the Home Depot environment overwhelming because of its size and the difficulty in finding the appropriate help when you need it but I find these things to be a challenge and something I need to conquer if I am to ever complete my project.
My few experiences with employees on the floor were very helpful especially in helping me find certain things. I did notice however that most of these employees would take me to where a specific item is or should be located and basically move along. But when conducting searches of my own, I often find three or four different places that display both similar and the same as the item the salesperson took me to. And every once in a while, I will find something amongst these items that are even better than the original which are being displays in this place only. Therefore, most of the floor people that assist customers (on their own or because the customer asked them for help) would be of more use to the customer if they would just take the extra step and escort a customer to more than just one location.
From a price standpoint, I would have to say Home Depot falls right in the middle. Like all stores, they have their high prices as well as their low prices. No surprise there.
There's no doubt in my mind that if shopping for an item that you know should be something found in a Home Depot, then rest assured, you will find it. It is the other side of the coin that keeps me going back: the skill Home Depot has when it comes to supplying it's customers with things that you may not expect to find in a Home Depot. Or finding one of these unusual items at a price completely unbelievable.
Lastly, my biggest star goes to whoever is in charge of supplying and maintaining the carts for those that have difficulty covering the entire site on our two legs. Stores such as Walmart could learn a thing or two from Home Depot in this particular area because I've yet to get into a car over there that it wasn't dead in 10 minutes. If I'm lucky to even get a cart at all! It certainly doesn't do my knee any better to see youngsters using the cards in Walmart, sitting on them as they play in the arcade area or just racing around the store and parking lot on them. Home Depot not only has enough carts to go around, they keep them charged and in decent running order.”
