Are you sure you want to buy from them? Expensive but not consistent quality. Customer service is horrible. Reel lumber or Hardwoods specialty is much better than them. read more

When I was chilling in the I.E while I looked for a crib and was rebuilding my business, I came upon this place off the 10E in what lots of folks call, "Fontucky" Sure, it is a city with cows and horses, truckers, tract housing, farms and big box shopping centers, but for the most part, like the city. The windstorms can be daunting but, I found the residents quite friendly. When I saw this lumber yard, I got off the freeway and went to see what I could transform into a unique, artistic creation. The place is huge and they service wholesale and retail clients. As soon as I walked in, the light bulb lit up! But this was 2010, so the light bulb looked like a curly fry. I saw a pallet of wood veneer that was on sale. They did not charge me extra to cut the planks to the small sizes needed. My idea was a hit. The demand for it keeps Daisy in Dog food and me in two buck chuck. All of my merchandise sells well since I have re-relocated to SoCal. My resources are about 95% better here. That translate to positive cash flow. As much as I like Peterman's Lumber, that drive on the 10E to get there from my new digs by the beach is killer! Sooo...my next review about lumberyards will be from a spot closer to the crib/studio. read more

Amazing lumber and hardware supplier. Been with them 19 years and wouldn't go anywhere else. They will have what you need.

I have been getting wood here for various projects but mostly I have purchased Basswood for Plantation Shutters. They have every size louver you could need and they have the other parts cut and ready to go. I have also purchased a few exatics here at great prices. The staffs extremely friendly, knowledgeable and helpful. This is always my first stop. read more

Great lumberyard with knowledgeable, helpful, friendly people. But know it's not for browsing, you need to know what you want before you go, ask for it and they will get it! read more

Great staff, great price! Worth the drive!! They usually have what I'm looking for, and even carry a good selection of rough cut hardwood.

We, at the Wood Work Shop - school of woodworking have always recommended Peterman Lumber for their great customer service, competitive pricing and large variety of lumber selection, plywood good and hardware. If you wish to be ripped of, then go shopping over at Ganahl. They love to charge 200%+ and and customer service. read more

After searching online, and visiting several lumber facilities, Peterman Lumber will now be my go-to place. The warehouse is huge and had the lumber I was looking for (Red Oak 6' X 13"). NO ONE else I tried had that size. One place said they did, and when I got it home, discovered it was 13" at one end and 12" at the other making it totally unusable. Some places only sell in bulk, but here they cater to construction builds as well as home projects. Juan was particularly helpful, asking me questions to make sure I was getting the right wood, rather than just making a sale. When we couldn't find the right piece he called the back to get check to see if there was another stack we could go through. There was, and we did. I got exactly what I needed. He cut it and loaded it up for me. The variety of wood was outstanding, and the cost was incredible. Made the mistake of going to Lowe's first. Had some of what I needed in the small lumber. Cost me twice as much as the 12 footer I got from Peterman's. read more

Very Disappointing recently purchased two times from Peterman. First time they lied about availability waited 2 weeks for material, it put me in a tough spot with my customer. Second time they sold me some really expensive material it ended up being garbage. I talked to their outside salesman Dale Williams he said another one of his customers had some of the same issues. I didn't find that out until after the fact. I talked to Jeremy Peterman and didn't get anywhere with him and then I talked to his Father Tim Peterman all i got from him was we sell 150 million dollars a month there is no way there could be any issues. At this point I couldn't take anymore of the BS . I had No choice ended up purchasing another piece from them. never again..... read more

Best lumber co in southern calif. Guys in the yard are born comedians.... Prices can't be beat for the quaility and availability

Was charged $ 3.60 LF for poplar 11" x 3/4". $23.00 for a 6-foot plank. I spoke to a customer in the yard he told me that's 3 xs what he pays, then he asked who the desk person was. I described the person, then he commented: "oh she's from upstairs shes a sales lady, you got the wrong person buddy." I can't believe they let their employees make up their own prices. BAD FOR BUSINESS. I will post the invoice in my admin building at my work. STAY AWAY DON'T GET GOUGED! read more

Love this place!!! Very friendly and helpful staff. Anything you could possibly be looking for for all your woodwork needs all in one place. I really couldn't be happier with the flooring that I got for my house! read more

This is the best place to pick up wood or any other cabinet building materials needed great and friendly staff and very helpful

EDIT TO MY ORIGINAL REVIEW. Fiona from Peterman initially contacted me after I left a 2-star review. She was courteous and apologetic and offered to correct the issue. Then Shane handled the remainder of the correspondence from that point on. He was super nice, organized, responsive, and courteous as well. I don't like to be a nasty customer (and I really hope I didn't seem that way), but I was pretty bummed about the situation. So I was actually very impressed that they really made an effort to make the situation right. Thank you Peterman! Below is my original review: I recently purchased a maple butcher block countertop. Pre-ordered it and drove an hour and a half to get it. They loaded it in the truck for me, I went back to the job site and put it in the house for storage til use. A month later when I went to install it, I realized they had given me a 5' length instead of the 6' piece I had ordered. Before I called them, I verified on my receipt that I had actually paid for the 6' length (yup, paid over $300 for it). I called, got bounced back and forth a few times and finally landed at supposedly the right person. I explained what had happened, that it wasn't worth it for me to drive all the way back out there to trade it in for the correct length, and that the client and I just decided to change the plan and use the 5' piece. So all I was asking for was a refund of the difference in price between the two lengths. Unfortunately due to delays on my project because of the Covid-19 situation, a month had passed since I had purchased the countertop. However, they assured me they would correct it but that they needed to call me back. Never got a call back. I'd like to see my money. I'm sure it was an honest mistake but there should be a genuine effort to correct it. Peterman has generally been an ok place to get certain plywood and hardwoods that I can't get in my area, but every time I call this place, I have to speak to a minimum of three people before anyone can offer help. I've been misinformed about in-stock product before, have had different prices quoted to me for the same product, and it also usually takes a long time to actually get the product in hand. As other reviewers have noted, unfortunately the customer service is lacking, and clearly they don't care about correcting mistakes that cost their customers money. They also charged me some ridiculous fee just for using a debit/credit card to pay for my order. My order was over $600. I understand when businesses charge $.50 or $1.00 if you're purchasing less than $10 of product, but why charge me $12+ just to use the most common and standard payment method? Unreal read more

Great place to buy all your supplies. Order ahead and they have it ready when you arrive. I shop no where else. Augie read more

Peterman Lumber is always great! Love the selection. Charles in will call always remembers and is stoked to see me. Makes a difference when employees get to know the customers! Charles is killing it!! read more

From the staff, to the lumber everything and everyone here is exceptional. Finding a lumberyard that excels at both high quality lumber and competent workers is very rare nowadays. Rich is my contact there and has been so helpful to me and my company, I mean it when I say I will not take my business anywhere else. read more

I hadn't been out here for years, wow, they've Made a "few" changes . The yard is huge now! They always had a extensive selection but it's even larger now, great quality is still the norm at Peterman! Helpful staff there to assist you as needed to make sure you get what you want. The office lady was super nice, her friendly, cheerful attitude was a nice way to wrap up my purchase. I'm looking forward to my next run out there read more

This place is awesome. Friendly and extremely knowledgeable staff. You should have no problem finding what you need.

They are pricey. Called around and they are are on average 10% more expensive than the other local places. They do have a lot of stock, so if everyone else is out of something they probably will have it in stock. read more

I have been purchasing hardwoods from Peterman Lumber for the past 10 years. They continue to have the very best service and products. Today was a perfect example. I called and asked for current stock supply of white oak 25/32 " thickness. I was connected with Angel C. and he took my number and said that he would check the amount of stock in the bin and call me back. When he called he told me that the bin was low and he would have a full pallet ready for me to pick out the stock that I needed. When I stepped into customer service I was greeted by Jonasm and he directed me to the side yard where there was a full pallet of stock. EXCELLENT SERVICE AND PRODUCT. Thank You Very Much Dan Huston read more

This place is amazing...I've been here several times for several different projects. It can be a little intimidating the first time you go there, but they are used to new walk in customers. Just ask an employee and they will explain things to you. Be sure to create an account with them for better pricing. read more

Just want to thank you for your business and the great deals I get when I need lumber .

This place is great and they are very informative. They have just about every type of lumber and the prices are not that bad.

Called for a special order, so had to speak with their sales rep. Mike. Gave him the dimensions and lumber types, then he told me he'd call me back the next day. Four days went by and I heard nothing so I called back, only for him to tell me he had the quotes but forgot to call me back. He said he'd get them together and call me back in 15 minutes. Never heard back. I called a few days later and asked him just to email me the quote list since he was too busy to call me back, and he agreed. That was four days ago. Guess this is how they operate now? read more

Love getting my material from Petermans lumber! I rarely actually go to the location, I always have my material delivered directly to my shop. Anytime I need something my Rep. Angel takes care of me. He always gets back to me right away when I have an order request. Angel, thank you for making that easy for me and being so quick with your responses! Ive never had an issue with material being damaged nor the wrong order! You can't beat the pricing as well! I also have to give major credit to the drivers. Those guys are super nice and hard working. Ive been ordering my material from these guys for the past year and have had nothing but amazing experiences. Highly recommended! read more

Peter and lumber is amazing. I have been coming here for years and have always been treated well. The cashiers are great people.

Very helpful (Diana) with what I needed and was loaded in a timely manner!!!!i would recommend to anyone I know

We have used them for years for our Cabinet Shop.. have found our sales rep always there to help us and go above and beyond. Their products/wood are superior. The girls in accounting are just amazing to work with. Communication is the key!!! Wish all our vendors were like them!!!! Highly recommend them!! read more

At 17 miles away, they are worth the drive. I've only dealt with the "drive in" purchase of lumber there. They are open on Saturdays till 2 - the only day I can make it there. My company, Absolute-Wood, makes wood display stands for the electronic cigarette industry and I buy most, if not all my lumber here. They have good prices, all your standard recognized hardwoods, and a good selection of exotic woods like Purple Heart, Padauk, Bubinga, Zebrawood, Wenge, Koa, Teak and more. I even purchased some 4/4 Caribbean Rosewood there a while back. A potential customer after seeing a couple pieces made with it wanted one of his own. I needed more. Unfortunately, the Rosewood was all gone, and with questions and some computer checking, it was unsure if there would be any more. They offered to take my name and number. I got a call in a few days saying they had some that was still unprocessed and in the mill. It's on the production schedule and should be in the store in about a week. I'm impressed. My customer will be as well. Well done guys. read more
