Concord Lumber

Everyone here is very nice. They do a lot of work with contractors and «people» who are doing projects. From the paint to the lumber yard, they have helped me figure out a lot of «what I need» in addition to figuring out paint, etc.
It’s not the cheapest place in the world, but not the most expensive either.
Shop Local!!!

Ok… ever walk into a library and feel like you are the loudest one in there? That’s how you feel when entering. There is no music playing, not much talking… just clicking of keyboards and steps from feet. I feel like an illegal immigrant crossing over the Mexican boarder. Talk about walking on glass. Ssshhhhh is the only thought on your mind.
After going here for a couple weeks, I said screw this… I tear it up in there. Im loud, I whistle, I say whats happening… it’s like getting an elderly woman to run, people from Concord are straight up strange… Far from eccentric.
I’m gonna go in there one day with a boom box and just start shuffling across the floor. Maybe I will form a flash mob or something…
Other than that its a basic lumber yard.

I want to like this place, but the last time I was there I was in a hurry and didn’t look closely at the piece of MDF the guy gave me. When I went to use it, I saw that it had 3 dented edges and a big water stain on the bottom. Not cool for a lot more money than the big box guys.

I’ve only stopped in at Concord Lumber a couple of time, and that because I believe in supporting local businesses. One expects the prices to be higher than big-​box lumber & hardware stores, and Concord Lumber is predictably so. The customer service, or lack thereof, is my gripe. Each time I’ve gone in, I’ve been only one of two or three people in the story, and yet the clerks seem way too busy to help. On my last visit, I stood politely at the counter for five minutes watching as one clerk bustled about & then headed into the back while the second one shuffled paper on a desk. Another customer came in and stood beside me, and clerk #2 wandered up and helped him first. I left, since obviously they don’t need my business.
Maybe Concord Lumber has enough contractors to render the little people unnecessary. My advice is go to Rocky’s Hardware for tools & things, or head to Lowes for lumber and construction materials. The money you save will pay for the gas, and the service will be friendlier.
