If you’re tired of digging through warped, high‑moisture boards at the big‑box stores, head straight to Builders FirstSource. Yes, they’re geared toward contractors and the yard is usually hopping but the staff still makes time for DIY folks like me.
Ask for guidance.
Walk in, confess you’re not 100 % sure what you need, and they’ll coach you through species, grades, and dimensions without a hint of impatience. Every project question I lobbed their way was met with a helpful suggestion (and sometimes a money‑saving alternative I hadn’t considered).
Quality lumber.
Their stock comes in dry, straight, and ready to work, no “squeeze out the moisture and hope for the best.” It’s a game‑changer if you want things to stay put after installation.
Deep inventory + quick turnarounds.
Most of the time they have exactly what I’m after. When they don’t, they can usually bring it in within a day or two, so long as I plan ahead.
Pro tips for first‑timers:
Know your rough list or measurements. Even a sketch helps the counter crew zero in fast.
Ask questions early. They’re busy, but happy to steer you toward the right product.
Schedule your pickup to offset when contractors are loading up. In my experience avoid first thing in the morning and the last hour before close. Those seem to be when material is getting loaded for the days job. Not always the case but mid day seems to be better.
Bottom line: plan your project, lean on their expertise, and you’ll leave with straight, dry lumber and confidence that you bought the right stuff the first time.

Need some special trim for our building. They were able to find it and ordered for us. The product came in just a few days. Awesome customer service.

Placed an order on Tuesday. Jeff told me it would be in the next day around noon and I'd get a call. No call. I call at 4 and no one can find anything. I have to call again the next day and Jeff says he did not place the order on Tuesday, but did today so now I have to wait yet another day. So two days late. Mistakes happen, I get it. No biggie. But why couldn't they order it when I called yesterday? It was clearly not ordered. That much was obvious. Their only solution was to wait for Jeff to get back to work the next day instead of just going ahead and ordering it, resulting in yet another day of waiting. What a mess of an operation.

The salesmen inside were very professional and very helpful. The guys out back in the lumber yard, except for one young guy, were a total waste of time. They couldn’t have cared less if we got the help we needed.

Walked in...2 employees saw me. I couldn't find what I was looking for and left. Never offered any assistance. Not impressed with customer service but looks like nice assortment of items.
