Kris and the team at Beatty Lumber are GREAT. We're fixing up an old 1878 house with a lot of custom work, and Kris was super helpful spec'ing everything out and ordering what we needed. He really came through on a tight timeline--we had to pull all the plumbing fixtures in the powder room to install the wainscoting, and he made sure the materials came in early. Responsive, honest, high quality stuff. Highly recommend. read more

Despite its continued success, the company is facing some challenges. I miss Pat's personal touch when I ordered supplies. The last delivery guy did not want to talk and did not ask me any questions about our business or how the wood was going to be used, you know, the little things that make consumers feel good when you order $800 worth of lumber twelve times a year. I got a follow-up call from the manager (for the first time), I'm sure it's to address her impatient millennial sales guy concerns, who, in the end, is not Pat. read more

Is that Beatty Lumber I see in 2 episodes of "Delco Proper" on Comedy Central (the Tommy Pope series exclusively on Comedy Central's website)? Or are they just trying to represent this place? "The lumber yard" is the main focus of the show, so if you are a fan, you will love Beatty Lumber! (more about this later...) As for my shopping experiences here... we relied on Beatty and Delco Supply (a competitor on the other side of Delco) for loads of finish materials (trim, beadboard, etc.) to do a lot of remodeling in our home. Beatty will beat Depot and the other box stores on a lot of pricing, but where they don't beat price, they come up with a better product. If you pay attention to quality you will appreciate that. Beatty is family-run (just like on the show "Delco Proper") and the whole family is in there working. I have dealt with one of the guys my age (son or cousin?), and I believe his dad. I have also dealt with the woman who helps on the showroom floor (the mom?) where they have a lot of kitchen remodeling items. They are always concerned about whether you are being helped or not, which is really nice (totally the opposite of the unhelpful front desk staff at Delco Supply). The front desk people treat women with respect (again, unlike Delco Supply). And they are careful to ask questions about your project to make sure you are getting the right thing you need. They know their inventory backward and forward, and they can really be helpful in offering tips and knowledge you didn't know you needed to know. I really liked that about this place. I take a star off because some of the guys in the sheds can be kind of rough. We got some sheets of beadboard last time and they weren't careful about the edges, which got nicked. I also had to watch what they were giving us because a couple sheets had imperfections on them that they either missed or didn't care about giving me. So you gotta watch that. Beatty Lumber offers the interior remodeling finishes (cabinets, countertops, etc.) that aren't offered at the lumber/hardware-only Delco Supply. All in all this is a solid business with the right attitude to show for all their years of operation. If this place is not inspiration for "Delco Proper" (the show all about all things Delco), it should be. When I think "Delco" and "lumber yard" I think of Beatty. An actual conversation I heard at the counter just before March 17th: Beatty Lumber Employee: "So whaddy ya doin for da holleyday?" Customer: "Prolly goin out fur sum beeurs..." Look, I know Philly has a hard time when people poke fun at the accent (if TV can even get it right), but if you watch "PhillyTawk" YouTube videos about it (by Sean Monahan), you will come to love and embrace it. (You will also laugh so hard you cry.) I try to look at Delco honestly, but appreciatively. And I think that is the spirit of Delco-native, Tommy Pope's, show. Beatty Lumber should be proud if they are the chosen inspiration for it! read more

Beatty Lumber Company - Building Supplies Near Me - Upper Darby, Pennsylvania

These guys totally ripped my mother off. She's a single mom, on a fixed income due to a disability. She bought a 16-pack of Armstrong Ceilings Tiles last weekend and these guys charged her nearly DOUBLE, compared to what Home Depot is currently charging for the same in-stock item (Beatty's Price: $196 vs Home Depot: $93.76)! If you buy from here, make sure you do a price check or you might regret going here after they clean out your wallet. read more

If I could give a zero I would. I went into the store looking for ideas for my bathroom. A fellow around 30 feet away asks if he can help, I say I am just getting ideas, thank you. After looking around for 5 minutes I asked him (still 30 feet away at his desk) if he could help me. His response was "she is only by appointment") still at his desk. I asked who? He said the designer. I said I just wanted to ask a question, don't need a designer. He said he does not know the answer, and SHE is only by appointment. I asked then, you mean there is not a sales person here to help me? Answer....no. Not once did he say would you like to make and appointment, here is HER card, she will be here at a time, sorry for the inconvenience, NOTHING! So, I went to Lowes and got some ideas from one of the PRO team (good). Even during Covid there is still too much competition to put up with this crap. read more

Beautiful new showroom, at least new to me. It has been a while since I needed anything here, but I will definitely be coming back.

called ahead of time because it was a 40 minute drive, spoke to a guy there named Eric (I believe that was his name). Well long story short, i was very polite and he was very bothered and unpleasant to talk to. I asked if they had a few specific products and i was put on hold while he allegedly looked to see if they had it. He had no knowledge of the products I asked about which was no help especially since it is products that they normally sell. He mumbled "oh" which i heard clearly and then said yes, yes we have that product and hung up on me. I drove 40 minutes to this location just to find out that they did not have anything even remotely close to what i called about. One of the guys who works there was really nice and he said this place is going through some changes and things are not what they were in the past. I spoke to a few other people who deal with this place and all say stay away. Prices are up and employee's are all leaving. read more
