Being a general contractor, I routinely am having these guys cut me orders of baseboard and such. Every single time they get it done quickly and correctly. The only time we have ever had an issue it turned out to be the sample that I brought was the problem. Even then they took care of me. I cannot recommend them enough.

Nice folks with a great selection of wood. No sheet goods though, which is what I need as I am building kitchen cabinets. Will be back when I start building furniture and other fine projects.
