“I decided to make a DIY little library/pantry so of course, I needed wood. I figured I'd rather go somewhere local versus supporting a big box store. After reading other reviews, I decided to check out Brookdale. I walked in with a drawing and a cut sheet and Brad was so nice! He helped me figure out how to utilize 1 piece of plywood & minimize cuts. He mapped it out and then helped me grab all the other necessary items I needed. I pulled around back and Miguel (I hope I'm remembering his name right - If not, I am so so sorry!) Was there to help cut my plywood for me. He continuously confirmed the dimensions Brad and I drew up to ensure everything was right since he was likely cutting much smaller pieces than he's used to and then he loaded it all into my car for me. If you're like me and doing a DIY project & don'tknow where to start, I can't recommend coming here enough! They'll even do smaller rough cuts if you ask for $1/cut which I find to be super reasonable. Thanks Brookdale Lumber and team!”

“What a cool place to lose oneself in, browsing for vintage furniture or beautiful lumber, or antique plumbing or hardware. If you like old things, you should have a look. I've been to every location except Aberdeen now. I found a gorgeous mahogany veneered bedframe and I'll be going back to their lumber yard for a slab of black walnut I intend to finish and install as a live edge mantelpiece for my fireplace. Definitely recommend visiting!”

“Came to the base to do some installations, only to find out kits had mismilled screws 3000 plus. Being new to area I went to Fastenal out of name recognition no luck. Could not tell me where to go. So stopped at a O'Reilly's they told me about Tacoma screw Went to the Olympia location Jared found what I needed but that location only had 200 but found another 800 at the Tacoma location so grabbed those as well and they had the rest of the order two days late. Before I could write this review I had another bunch of kits missing specifically nuts and screws They again saved the day it me enough to get thru the day with more coming in tomorrow. Jared, Brady and especially David !! He really when above and beyond to meet our needs, to find what I needed and get it to me and follow thru with all communications and status updates. And Sarah help out today big time Thanks again, I'm sure I'll be back before this is all over”

“Williams has saved my bacon at least four separate times now. They’ve made me custom clutch hydraulic, turbo oil-feed, and sensor lines, and the work is always outstanding. Today they built me a 3,250 PSI-rated oil line when I only need around 200 PSI, so if NASA needs a turbo feed line for the next moon mission, these guys have it covered. Super knowledgeable, fair, and clearly decades of experience behind the counter. Highly recommend.”

“I want to TY Leeza for always being so pleasant!!!!!!! She knows how to multitask while assisting clients on the floor & being very helpful at the registers. She flows seamlessly & can manage the entire store. She turned this angry customer (me) into a happy one on a busy truck day last week. It's unfortunate that the sup. older man w/ white hair & a lady w/ white & black hair w/ glasses (whose names IDK ) & associates could learn how to approach ppl & patience frm her… just saying… They are often angry; what's up with that?!??.. the sun is out”

“Last week we had 400 retainer wall blocks delivered to our home in Tacoma. The driver showed up with 2 pallets of bricks on a flat bed truck. He unloaded them by hand and put them next to the job site in our back yard. I believe the young man's name was Dave. This was an incredible effort on his part. We're both in our 70's. Do have to have transported all that brick by ourselves would have been.literally back breaking. Thanks SOOO much.”

“Our contractor purchased all of the materials for a patio deck from Gray. After a couple months we had issues with the composite deck boards and Gray Lumber worked with the manufacturer to set up replacements. Gray Lumber was able to negotiate a better replacement package that included coverage for labor costs. We would not have been able to negotiate a similar agreement. Thanks Gray Lumber!”
