These guys aren't always the cheapest, nor do they stock everything that Lowe's or Home Depot does. But I don't want them to. I want them to keep being the service-oriented, old fashioned type of building supply store that they are. The guys at the desk remember people's names, they know where you are building, they know what stuff you typically need. They call when a balance is due on your account, not because they want you to pay but because they don't want to have to charge you interest when it gets past the 10th of the month. Got a few extra minutes? They'll chat a little bit. In a hurry? They'll get you in and out right away. Yeah, I like Christmas Lumber Company.
Pros: Quality materials, Friendly and knowledgeable staff
Cons: Traffic at the yard
