Supply is limited to what they have in stock, but they have a solid selection of everything from tiles and hardwood to butcherblock counter tops and even some bathroom fixtures. I appreciated that the majority of items were clearly priced, and (while I'm not exactly an expert in flooring prices) there appeared to be some good deals. The guy who works there is really friendly and helpful. They also have a well-done website with current in-stock items and prices. This is definitely a no-frills warehouse environment, but would be a great place to do some shopping if you're looking to finish up a home remodeling project.

My clueless expression must have shown on my face because the gal at the front desk ask if I needed help. (I later learned her name is Lily) she lead me to the plumbing section and spent some time looking through the rows and rows of straight stops and angle stops hoping to find the right fit. After 5-10 mins she got another staff's (Gabriel) attention asking to help. So together after several minutes and few trips back and forth along the plumbing aisle, they patiently figured out the difference in size fitting between a copper & iron pipe. In the end, Gabriel found the angle stop that fitted the water filter to my bidet. Shout out to Lily and Gabriel for their dedication to assist customers in need. The management should be proud of these two team members.

So I went to Ace hardware in Bellingham and talked to an older gentleman that I felt should know their products. I told him that I needed a blower vacuum to suck up leaves. Now I figured he would realize that the leaves were wet since it was raining. He showed me the Toro blower vacuum and he said his brother in law has this and it works great. I took it home and started to try and suck up wet leaves and it kept getting clogged. I finally gave up. and just raked the leaves. The clerk never did tell me that this has a mulcher and works best with dry leaves. I have a blower vacuum that just sucks up anything at home. I went to return it, because it wasn't doing what I was told it would and since I don't live there, I couldn't wait for the leaves to dry. I was told by the same guy that sold it to me and one of the younger clerks that I can't return it. They gave me all kind of excuses and I finally gave up. I will never shop there again. I would not have had this head ache if I had gone to Home depot or Lowes. At least they know what they are selling.

It's all a tad overwhelming. You might want to snap some pictures on your phone in the various…read moreareas in the warehouses and the yard instead of trying to rely on just "brain inventory". Just the amount of things to try and take in is staggering. All sorts of sizes of wood, but also trappings that have come out former schools and hospitals and you normally might not find. Just one note to be extra careful roaming the property. There are a lot of edges sticking out and watch for sharp objects (i.e. nails) on the ground. I probably would not bring a child in tow. In addition to building materials, there were quite a few quirky items for sale and you never know what's going to be around any corner. Maybe something you need, or, you might find an unexpected treasure. When we visited the hours were rather limited: Saturday 9am - 2pm, so you might want to check the website before heading over.

I was up in the Ham recently helping a friend find a used door for a project, and we decided to…read morecheck out the Reuse Center. Located in a couple of buildings where Britton Rd. meets the Mt. Baker Highway, this large "store" is more like a junkyard full of salvaged building parts and treasures of all kinds. If you're into upcycling, re-cycling, and salvaging this is definitely the place to come! Their selection is unmatched, easily beating out other local salvage stores both in selection of building materials and price. And the owner is super nice and helpful. He truly has a passion for the business and the movement, and it shows! And wandering this property is like visiting a museum - with parts and pieces of recognizable area schools and other demolished buildings, that the Reuse Center clearly, painstakingly took apart, categorized, and stores on its property. Where I struggled, though, was with the unsafe feeling of the property - most notably the dusty, musty large garage/warehouse where much of the wood products are stored. There is a LOT of stuff in here. The aisles are very narrow and all sorts of building materials are stacked high. I know this type of store is never going to be "pretty" like a Home Depot or anything, and I totally get that. But it just didn't feel safe in there, with only one entrance/exit, confusing pathways, and LOTS of combustible materials. I felt relieved when we found what we were looking for and were safely back outside. There's also a cram-packed separate garage area with thrift store type finds, though it was very haphazardly arranged and the items were slightly interesting, again with super narrow aisles that were hard to navigate. The outdoor salvage yard area is full of all things interesting, lots of metal, and would be a fun place to find things if you were super creative with used materials. A lot of it was pretty junky, though, and looked unusable. I can see this spot being a place I would go again if I couldn't find my used/salvaged materials at another location. We did end up finding a door, and at a very good price, so I can't fault them for that. Maybe if they were able to get rid of some of their inventory, it would be a more fun place to shop at.

Dawson was the salesperson on my last purchase. He also has carpet laying experience. Anyway, everything went smoothly, and on time and in budget. I was particularly happy that I didn't have to hire a seperate worker to remove doors and baseboards in preperation. The layer there handled that, as part of the regular installation. They also had to upholster carpet onto an opening bench window seat. That takes more skill and they pulled it off, no problem. Good inventory there too. I stick to the Nylon choices for cut pile carpets, so the fibers are less prone to matting down in the traffic areas.

What has become more and more clearly after interacting with him for over a year is that ZAC TAKES CARE OF MY YARD AS IF IT'S HIS OWN! He does a lot of extra things and he doesn't even charge me for them. Yesterday, I came home and found Zac on all fours on my front yard weeding! For one thing, it was a 80 degree day. Also, he is NOT even expected to put out the weeds. I learned that he had been doing that without telling me because my house is on a corner lot and is very visible to people who walk by. So, Zac is not only knowledge and good at what he does but also very passionate about what he does. I could not possibly ask for more from him.

The floor installation…read morewas mostly fine, the stair carpeting was chaotic, and in both cases there was unfinished work. The owner made several promises to fix the unfinished bits, while stating that it wasn't going to be possible to properly do so, but never did come back and complete the work.

The initial bid was to remove the carpet and refinish the original wood floors while also installing new wood floors in the remaining living areas.

Mike and his team bent over backwards to accommodate me - they fit me in around other jobs, worked on weekends, helped find someone to fix the beams on very short notice and met the original schedule - all at an affordable price. They were professional, did an excellent job of communicating where we were in the process and the floors are beautiful.

He Just Blew Me Off For Five Months…read more I am a single woman looking to get my bathroom and bedroom remodeled. I called Dreamaker in early January wanting to set up an appointment to come out and give me an estimate. A man named Ron Faber called back and came to my house to evaluate the job then sent me an estimate on January 18th and I decided to hire this company to do the work. He said he would call next week but never did. When I emailed him on Feb 8th to see why there was a delay, he said one of his carpenters was out and apologized. He asked to come by and re-measure on February 12th which I agreed to then he made an appointment for me to come into the office and make decisions about what I wanted for hardware and cupboards and countertops on February 19th at 10:00 in the morning. When I got to the office, he was not there but I made the decisions with one of the women who work in the office anyway. On March 7th he emailed me that there was a fiberglass shortage and my remodel would be delayed until June. I thought that was weird but agreed to wait. On April 24th, I emailed him because I was trying to figure out my schedule for the coming months and he told me that actually, they would tentatively be able to start May 21st and he would call me next week. Next week came and went with no call and the week of May 21st came and went with no remodel. I emailed him on May 30 to tell him that I don't want to do business with him and his company because he is not a man of his word and I was obviously not a valued customer. I don't recommend Dreamaker for doing a remodel. Ron Faber just blew me off and I was stupid to waste five month of my life waiting for a company that obviously didn't value my business.
