Was looking everywhere for a 31x19 bathroom counter top. Home depot, no. Lowes ,no Well special order $399 To much for me for a rental. Loading dock recommended by a friend. Found something that could work for under $50. Maybe lucky , but lots of rehab material here. You maybe also can fid something if interested in using rehab material. I have added the installed product as I think it came out great Recommend

The place is a little smaller than other other construction reuse stores. It was fairly well organized. The staff/ volunteers were professional and friendly. They have a good rotating supply. The only down side is that they are not open during the weekend.

From what I understand the loading dock was formed by contractors. Me being a contractor love to donate and purchase building material from them. I noticed that when I dropped off the window I donated today. That the store was unusually clean and organized. I also noticed that the store displays when you first go in. Look like all brand new items soil, rolls of weed prevention cloth, kitchen faucets still in the box, kitchen sinks and boxes brand new stuff. I was in a hurry today so I didn't get to do my browsing of the whole store. But if the rest of the store looks like the front and the inside that I saw. Wow what a improvement. I've been a member for at least 7 years and that's the best the store has ever looked to me. Five stars to all the employees that are working there now marked improvement.

Updating this review. Great customer service! Management was very responsive and contacted me right away and cleared up this misunderstanding and made it right. I am very grateful that this company not only provides a wonderful stock of building materials and unique items, they also care about their customers. I have purchased many items for DYI projects for my home and yard here. I love this store because it triggers my creativity. I will continue to shop here for great finds, and really appreciate the staff and manager’s customer service. Keep up the good work of providing great items for the community to improve their homes and for great customer service. ——— Previous review... I’ve shopped there several times before with no issues and found good things. But I was just there on Friday and bought 4 acrylic/plastic big puzzle shaped pieces @ $16 each, and when I got to my car, the pieces were a few inches too big and wouldn’t fit in my car. I bought them back into the store, and ask to get something else of same or more value and they wouldn’t do it; they would only Hold for 3 days, and charge me restock fee if not picked up by that time. So a word of caution to shoppers. I was not aware of this policy. I don’t see where they’re losing anything in an exchange. I’m the one losing now because they have my money, over $60 and I have nothing, as I had to leave the items I paid for there and they can sell again. Whereas if they did the exchange they would’ve still had the money and I would’ve got something else I could use. Not customer friendly policy, I feel robbed. So make sure you know the item will fit in your vehicle first, or you will be throwing money away too.
