However the restaurant owners were on vacation leaving me with a 15 minute waiting time before Curtis lumber opened at 7am. Curtis lumber has been in existence for over 100 years and is headquartered in Ballston Spa near where I live. They have over 23 locations in upstate NY. They carriy a selection of plywood, treated lumber, dimension lumber, hardwood and engineered lumber. To make things simpler its just a lowes or home depot that is locally owned and smaller in size. Buy and shop local.

What a disgrace to call this a family run and family oriented business. It is nothing of the kind…read more Jay-K was a legit family run and oriented business. I understand the purpose of a business is to make a profit but to do so at the expense of the community and the employees is not. I would recommend Lincoln Davies, Ilion Lumber or many other of the small family owned and operated suppliers in the area every day over Curtis Lumber which is simply concerned with the dollars at the end of the day rather than the wellness of the community or the future of its staff. I have been very successful in my career and have had the opportunity to shop at many Curtis locations. I shopped at them only because they had bought up the local stores and in some cases shut them down and there simply was no alternative within a decent range. I just paid the price and went on with things. Almost always, the employees (salespeople and yard workers) were top notch but boy oh boy did I hear many complaints about the management. Both from said employees and other customers. It seemed like policies were designed to alienate and annoy the customers, the people who keep a store open. Yes they offer a military discount but to make it so that EVERY TIME I SHOP, I must go through a ten question interrogation, pull out ID's, ...spend an extra 5 minutes in line to do so and annoy anyone in line behind me (which actually there rarely is) to get a 10 percent discount which might just might bring the item(s) cost in line with the competitors prices seams ridiculous. Put me on file until I am dead and when my name pops up...give me the discount or simply do not offer it at all. Everything they do seems to annoy me as a customer. One time I was told an item was in stock and when I stopped in to pick up said item. I was told "in stock" meant that one of the Curtis locations had at least one of the item in inventory. That could have been Ballston Spa or even Vermont. I guess the management at Curtis does not consider that a lie and maybe technically it isn't but to mislead a customer in that way is just another example of hot to disenfranchise a customer. Please people take care of the businesses that take care of you. Curtis Lumber I assure you is NOT one of them.

This store brings back such great memories of the Agway of my youth. For lawn and garden this is…read morethe place to go. The beautiful display of plants outside is just the start of how well the store displays are set and how clean it is. I found myself wanting to buy another set of clippers just because "they were calling my name". I don't need them of course but I wanted to buy everything. I now have some gift ideas as well. So many chimes, bird feeders and pet toys to choose from. They have a huge selection of bird food including a bin of mixed food that you can scoop to buy by the pound. There is always friendly staff around to ask questions and they seem to know just when to ask if you need help. They even invited to be browse as long as I want. They didn't know just what they were saying because I might never leave. I kept it brief this time but I will be going back again and again.

It's a chain, but it's definitely not as "big boxy" as - well, you know who. Some of the things I like about this store include it selection of plants, bulbs and seeds (and there's more in their small garden center), the tools, the bulk bins for animal and bird foods, a good supply of tools, and some seasonal items. I've rarely had any problems here, and the staff have always been able to answer any questions I've had. Their barn/warehouse on the side has quite the supply of various bagged materials too.

However, today was first time I used their Curbside Pickup option. I placed an order online and paid for it. Next day I drove up, and called store to let them know I wanted curbside pick up. I was told to drive around back. A staff member was out in two minutes with my order. I was asked where I wanted him to put the order. I signed a paper acknowledging I received items. Then I was given my receipt and thanked for my business. Start to finish once I arrived at store was less than 6 minutes. Efficient process. I drove off to continue running errands.

Since we just painted our bedroom we wanted something wIth a little bling. It was difficult to find what we were looking for. We stopped in on a Saturday and the pacce was not crowded.

David was able to help us find the same lamp but mounted directly to the ceiling. We decided to purchase the lamp. They do have a couponing the Clipper Magazine. We did not have the coupon but David said he would apply it to our purchase. I was assuming that we would need to order the lamp and it would be in the store to pick up in a few weeks. THEY HAD IT INN STOCK. We walked out with the lamp. Very happy customers. We also asked them about a reading lamp. They did not have what we were looking for but they offered to keep an eye out for what we needed. Great service. Friendly and knowledgeable staff.

We are grateful to the whole team at Burch Supply as a defect in one of the cabinets could have derailed the whole project.
