I found Sterritt Lumber after wasting far too much time at Home Depot, and was surprised I had…read moredriven by here dozens of times and never realized they had all of this great lumber! Driving by the front door made me think it was just a nice little office, but if you drive around the back it is full of everything you need. Compared to what most people probably come here for, my need was pretty small: three pieces of plywood each ranging from 4 to 6'. I dragged in an existing piece so I could explain what I was trying to do, and Bryan (almost positive that was his name) took me out back to suggest a few things. Because my toolbox at home is limited to a few screwdrivers, hammer and small hand saw he cut the three boards for me and they were the perfect sizes. I'm fascinated by places that are full of things I don't know anything about, so while he did the cutting I checked out all of the various types/sizes of wood and enjoyed how nice the place smelled. Forget Home Depot and just drive a few blocks over here!

I've purchased crown moldings and door casings here, and the quality is always top-notch. What really sets them apart, though, is the customer service. I worked with Bob, who was a lifesaver. He helped me select the perfect profile for my project and expertly calculated exactly how much material I needed. To top it off, he had an associate cut the long pieces so they would fit safely in my car, while carefully ensuring the lengths I actually needed for the installation remained intact. Truly an excellent experience from start to finish--I will definitely be back for my next project!

I haven't hooked it up yet but will do so soon. Thus far, I find the location convenient, ample parking, and efficient servicing with reasonable pricing for CO2 refills.

We are building a NEW build/house. I contacted my builder GC bc when I saw these, I was…read moreAPPALLED!!? EVERY.SINGLE. Brand new windows look like my child took a saw and hacked them. They are jaggered, asymmetrical, shotty looking windows. Not only do they look like shit but they are so jagged that it could hurt or cut someone/my kids lifting or banging into it. I'm now also concerned because of all the negative recent reviews, I'm actually questioning on how well they will work; and if they work anything like they look, I want my money back! I'm not sure why they are even "angled" and not a straight vinyl lift. In all the houses we've owned we never had brand new windows aesthetically look so awful. Since it's the bottom you can't even hide them. My GC/Builder said Harvey would replace, well the "last pic" is the "replacement"???!! I wasn't there, but they "replaced" or was told, one but it literally looks like they took a "buffer/sander" rather than have the angles look either symmetrical and smooth and even which it is not. I am writing on here to see if anyone has had this problem or is this a bad batch or is this literally the quality & cut of the interior sash. Also, looks like I'm not the only one as found this on the web... I would GREATLY appreciate someone from quality control management to contact me.

The seals fail and then there is discoloration between the panes. While the windows have been replaced free of charge, the process has been ongoing for almost 3 years.

I agree with others, go with Pella, Marvin, Andersen, etc.

He seems to be very proud of the high quality product lines they carry. Nice small (or large) business in the area highly recommend for anyone doing renovation work around the house.
