Stumbled upon them when looking for specialty wood for a project a few years ago and was impressed…read moreby the great selection, knowledgeable staff and fair prices. Have a current project and needed high quality wood to match a front door we had custom made - another great experience and once again impressed by their passionate staff who love what they do and geek out about all things lumber. There was an honest mistake in ringing up one of the pieces - I called when I saw the mistake at home, and they immediately took care of the refund over the phone. All around great place with great people.

Two years ago I bought a face cord of wood for delivery and it was lovely. This winter I tried to…read morebuy wood and they didn't show up the day they said they would. We rescheduled to 12/3. They showed up 45 min past the window they said they would (close to when I had to pick up my son from school) and the man was very rude. (I don't expect to be yelled at by a man shouting "what do I do?" I was very confused by his question and thought he couldn't see the gate.). The snow was what confused him apparently. He said he wouldn't deliver and needed two guys and that office would call me to reschedule. It has been 10 days. No word from them. I am not comfortable using them anymore.

If you like HGTV and the ideas they have on their remodeling shows, you will love Heller Lumber…read more Not because it's got rows and rows of glitzy remodeling ideas, but rather because after you get your ideas from surfing through Houzz and Pinterest, this is the place that will sell you the exact materials you need to do those things. My wife and I wanted to replace our rustic fireplace mantle with a smooth cedar 4x10. That's a type and size of wood that Big Box stores don't carry, nor will they even bother ordering one. (Big Box stores are all about moving quantity, not quality.) So we called Heller. I've known about Heller from my days of working in construction when I needed to order specialty doors and wood trim. I've always enjoyed working with them because they are knowledgeable, friendly and the only 'attitude' they have is one of helpfulness. Maybe that's what comes when a family runs a business and cares about maintaining a great reputation. So if you are in the market for any high-quality wood products for your home, inside or out, make Heller your first stop. Their prices are competitive, their customer service is unmatched and you'll get exactly what you need to make your home look exactly the way you want.
