Home Builders Center is a friendly neighborhood hardware store and lumber yard described as a gem and a diamond in the city. While the exterior may be a bit rough around the edges, it is a surprisingly full and handy old-school store. The staff is consistently noted as great, super helpful, knowledgeable, responsive, and wonderfully patient, often going above and beyond with genius solutions. Customers are impressed by the amazing and impressive selection, comparing the store to a Mary Poppins bag that holds everything from plumbing fittings, screws, and fasteners to plywood, a full paint center, and random project items like magnets. It boasts an impressive lumber inventory in the back and offers services like custom lumber cutting and key cutting. The store is praised for its competitive and affordable prices, as well as its convenient early hours, which save a long drive to big-box retailers. The parking can be a little dangerous during peak commute times, but the overall experience is highly valued, with customers planning to continue giving the business their support.
