The second one they filled super quick. The owner was very friendly. Prices for refill and recert were great. They have a tremendous amount of building supplies, tools and other hardware for sale.

The guys were super nice and it couldn't have been easier or quicker to refill my propane tanks.read more

I could drive to Home Depot if I wanted to make a whole trip, but every thing else I needed for a lazy weekend was within walking distance. Where was the hardware store of days yonder where you could pick up fasteners, hand tools, and other basics that were curated by clerks who knew their stuff? Sure, there are plenty of Ace and Economy hardware stores. They are closer to being a Target department store than any thing else, but they become progressively less satisfying as you get handier around your own house. So I was very excited to finally find Devon Lumber. The shop is really just a bunch of old guys, sitting around a warehouse. They know their tools. They know their wares, and they are gruff, but pleasant about the shopping experience. I went there, and immediately felt like I was part of the gang. They crack jokes. They ask you about your project. They learn your name if you shop there enough, and that is exactly what I need when I have to run out to replace that screw I dropped.

I'd like to start out by saying that over this past summer I bought all of the materials to repair…read moreor replace 9 decks on various rental properties from Devon. All decking and railings were PVC and come wrapped in plastic. I recently discovered 4 extra railing post kits that were left over. A couple of the posts had been left outside for a few weeks and the packaging was dirty. I went to return the materials yesterday, Sept 21. Lou, the guy in the office said he would not accept the return. One of the employees nicely offered to wipe off the packaging. Despite the first packaging being cleaned in 2 minutes. I was told we are not crediting you, you didn't buy it like that. I spent $19,400 at Devon this past summer and couldn't get credited about $250 because some packaging was dirty. More importantly I was told that they didn't care. I just thought this type of service should be known.

I showed the pink slip to the yard employee, he quickly grabbed the concrete bag and told me to drive up to the shed. He grab the brick from the shed and off I went. It was just a fast as driving through the McDonald's drive through. These guys are awesome. Jim, Blue Chip Landscape.
