My husband is a woodworker and is always looking for great sources for quality wood, as well as…read moreinspiration pieces. We've been to ReStore, which we love. We also recently discovered Second Chance, which we thought was awesome. So, we were excited when we found out about this place. The amount of wood that they had was amazing! It was a fantastic assortment of different quality kinds of wood, at very reasonable prices! They have a great selection of items that you might need for your home, whether you are remodeling, or just looking to add a few new pieces to your decor. I did not realize until I looked at their website that they have a $10 per year membership fee. However, for the quality of items you get at such amazing prices, it's definitely worth it to support a great non-profit.

Thankfully, The Loading Dock (TLD) in Baltimore, MD, takes financial donations. They do need them,…read morefor the "General Fund," to keep the lights on. Also, they take checks and value privacy;-) Just by looking at their video shorts, I wish that I could make trips there with my children, but "when life gets busy" time flys by. I get a chuckle when I see their staff of 2-4 at a time refer to things I grew up with "as antiques," but I guess they are. Everything is "back in style" every 25+ years, so if it's "Stinkin' Cute" don't be afraid to try it! Their "customer service staff" is delightful and outstanding++ as they have been from the beginning! I could spend hours (as one of their staff members has suggested in a video short), but my family would officially think "I had gone missing". (that's a "joke" in case you've lost your sense of humor these days) As an ex-fed, I'm thankful that I'm a member of the very "inexpensive annual $10 donation of product" team. It breaks my heart when I see people tear up old homes on some, but not all TV Reno shows. The next time my contractor is able to work here, I'm going to recommend that they take all of their "unused but still good materials here". Thankfully, TLD (at 2 N. Kresson St., in Baltimore, MD 21224) sells fantastic products from "what was truly back in the day" at Extra Low Prices. Such a small staff, still running fast. Give them a call, their phone # is 1-410-558-3625. They are open every day but Sunday. They also host great community building events, check out their calendar! Can't say enough good about them. I keep hearing over and over about "new trends and changes" but ~ TLD is a BEST Representation of how Old can consistently be made New again. Thanks to You and the Staff for being "consistent in your values" from the beginning of your time in Baltimore, regardless of who you are and what level of status you have achieved.

Great service and variety of options when it comes to purchasing real wood…read more We couldn't find what we needed to build custom shelving for a client in any of the local hardware stores or lumber yards and found it here.

I walked in, said I wanted to just browse, and was immediately given a 20 minute tour of their huge warehouse space. What you see out front is just the front door. I spent quite a while looking thru everything and then bought the slabs in my picture. All 2+ feet high and 2+ inches thick. All of that for $220 with their weekend sale. I really like that everything they sell is truly reclaimed wood, mostly from fallen trees or areas where trees are being removed and would then be otherwise thrown out or burned. My haul from left to right: - Black Walnut - Ash - 2 White Oak from the same cut so I can somehow book match them - Sycamore (need to read more about this) - And a Red Oak cutoff they threw in for free. This is from the Monocacy Civil War Battlefield. Some trees were being cleared and were ready to be thrown away!!! Really unique. Will definitely be returning!!!

I thank you Today I hired Mr. handyman services to revision of my earlier post. The owner of handyman took care of all repairs associated with the water damage thank you very much yes we are all human and we make mistakes but they owned up to their mistakes and fixed the problem again thank you. install a vanity in my third-floor bathroom. Mr. James Ellenberger was the insulator. This company drilled right through my water pipe and flooded my house. And did not want to take responsibility until I had to get a plumber out here to figure out what the problem was and where the leak came from and sure enough it was confirmed by the licensed plumber that the installer Which works for Mr. handyman drilled right into my waterline flooded my first second and third floor. This company don't want to pay to restore my home or better yet the owner wants to sell his people to restore my home why would I trust them to do anything in my home ever in life. And this company couldn't even have the decency to refund my money for the work done considering they messed everything up again. Not only did I have to pay for them to install the vanity but now I have to pay to have my house dried out in the drywall torn up in my floors replaced because of their neglect

We have had really good experiences with Mr. Handyman in the past. This time things were…read moredifferent. We scheduled for the deck to be power washed then a few weeks later to be stained. The power wash went well and pictures were taken of the completed job to have on file. It was explained to me that the pictures of the deck would assist the next technician to plan for the deck to be stained. When it was time for the deck to be stained, the technician arrived stating the job was not scheduled properly, the previous quote was incorrect and the job couldn't be completed on that day. After requesting time off from work, weeks in advance all I could do was approve the work for the time allotted. That resulted in 1/3 of the job (exterior deck) completed at the top of the price range. There seems to be a lack of communication amongst the team at Mr. Handyman, which leads to poor customer service. Now due to AI, it's very challenging trying to speak to a human to remedy the situation. Unfortunately, I'm looking into another company who has provided Great customer service consistently.

He is professional and can do everything from small fixes to large renovations. He brings a wealth of knowledge and perfection in his work that isn't seen often these days.

I would highly recommend him, he isnt the cheapest but you will definitely be happy with his work.

He came over promptly, and was able to get things done quickly. He was upfront about what I could expect from this job, and what would need to take more time. What's more?

I am definitely going to work with him again and recommend him to everyone that I can. You couldn't ask for a better person to get the job done.

He did excellent work and took his time making sure I was satisfied in the work he had done before leaving! Will recommend to anyone! He showed up on time and before he started he notified me of his arrival and asked if there was anything specific I needed done that he likes to do things the way the customer asks! He might be a beginner with a few years behind him by the looks of his age but he's excellent with lawn patterns, weed eating around my garden and even pulled weeds around all my flowers by hand and I had a bunch of weeds and he said he did it as a bonus because it just didn't look right after doing the weed eating and he doesn't want it to look a mess. Even offered to do a mulch job so I hired him to do my gardens now so this summer I can show off my yard off with my flowers finally! I'm disabled and he is worth every penny and it worked with my monthly budget. Highly recommended to any senior working on a fixed income. I had to give a tip to even feel right after all the good work this young man did for almost half the price I was charged two years ago so last year I didn't keep up well with the yard but with this man I can finally keep my yard and garden nice!
