    Came to get some good wood and got it! Service: Rich helped me out and was awesome. I'm a noob, ask dumb questions but he was accommodating, really helpful. They'll cut it for you to any size, etc. Inventory: really impressive, so much exotic wood - zebra, purpleheart, cherry, mahogany, stuff I've never heard of. They have reclaimed barn wood too! Price: reasonable, Rich worked within my budget and really helped me out.

    no he tenido mucha suerte en este lugar, tengo mi negocio pequeño recien me mudé para este condado, antes vivía en Downey y compraba mi material en aquella área, el servicio de perterlumber da mucho que desear, la primera vez que compré allí llegué a las 3.20 pm a comprar 4 hojas plywood birch y me dijo la señorita que ya era tarde para poder sacar el material... como si cierran a las 4pm. regrese al siguirnte día por la mañana y me atrndieron aunque tardaron 30 mins en entregarme el material, después volví a la semana siguiente a comprar más material mis compras son casi siempre de melamine o plywood y lo mismo mas de 30 mins esperando en warehouse para la entrega, una siguiente semana fui a comprar cabinets hinges le pregunté en front desk si tenian ( llevé una muestra) y dijeron que no había, pasé a buscarlas y si tenían , me dijeron " no sabíamos que vendíamos" , voy por lo menos una vez a la semana a comprar material, ayer fui otra vez, hice la orden 2 horas antes para ahorrar tiempo y según ellos tienen un sign que te dice que ordenes antes para ahorrar tiempo llegue, pague y fui al warehouse, pregunté si ya estaba lista ( 7 hojas), me dijeron ya están trabajando en ella hoy estamos muy despacio, no era cierto !!! bi cuando le entregó la hoja a uno de tantos que andan en sus forklifts " trabajando" , volví a separar 25 minutos!!! ... en fin no he tenido buena experiencia en este lugar con el servicio, el material pues es lo mismo que he comprado siempre los precios están en el promedio algunas cosas un poco más caras. nota, en los otros lugares que compraba material ll más que tardas son 10 minutos y en algunos no tienen forklift los chavod te lo cargan a mano. Disculpen por mis comentarios pero son las experiencias que he tenido en este lugar.

    I recently did my 2nd wood bed in white oak purchased again from peterman lumber in Fontana,the first one turned out so well that there was no where else that was going to beat there prices and fantastic customer service. I was attended to from the time I hit the parking lot to after load out!There selection of exotic wood is mind blowing! If you restoring your old truck and are replacing the wood bed there's no better place than here ! The first pic is of my 79 the second is of the 73!

    Simple cheap 1x12 pine boards.

    Always enjoy visiting Peterman and even when prices continue to climb, I never feel like anyone here is trying to gouge or take advantage. Always appreciate the help from guys at outside desk as well as those inside (Sergio). Quality of the products is better than home stores (even the cheap stuff -pine).

    Seriously, I wouldnt expect much from a lumbar yard/business, but the staff is pretty amazing and go above and beyond. You can tell they have values of a family owned business by how they treat their customers. I called looking for wood baseboards and Steve helped me save money by suggesting the MDF that would meet my needs, which I appreciated his honesty and not trying to upsell. On top of that the prices are much lower than Big box stores and they have more selection - I ordered a style from the manufacturer's website. They also deliver for a reasonable fee. Steve was patient with my calls and questions and responsive when I was ready to order. The delivery driver was also friendly and when we offered to help, he thanked us but happily said "I got it!". The cherry was that I realized on installation day that I didnt have baseboards for the closet! I contacted Steve and he said they wouldnt be able to order until Monday, then I asked if there were any businesses closer to me that might have a few in stock. He gave me a couple names, but they didnt have any. Then, Steve contacts me and tells me he FOUND another location that has them and to call them because they were closing soon. Wow, I did not expect that level of service and its rare to find that in an employee or person that does the research for you! I called and was able to get a few extra boards and pick up within an hour, which totally saved me from having to figure out installtion for a small quantity. So pleased with me new modern baseboards that Ive been waiting months for!

    I'm very impressed by the quality and price of the materials, but I'm also blown away by how quickly they filled my order and helped me load my truck. This is the only place I will buy wood from now on. The plywood cuts beautifully on my CNC machine, and there are no voids or flaws. My next project is to use 3/4" marine plywood to replace the floor in one of my boats.

    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.

    I had to give Sam's 5 stars today and here's why, every single associate I encountered greeted me!…read moreI mean every single associate... That says a lot for customer service and what the store may be trying to achieve. Even an employee doing go backs apologized for her cart being in the aisle. Amazing customer service. The store was also nicely stocked and had everything I came in to purchase. The produce looked good and I was happy because they had white peaches. I even found a convenient parking space when I parked. Overall, an amazing experience. On a side note, I noticed Sam's has been carrying more Asian items and I love that but don't buy the Strawberry Condensed Milk Snowflake Cake in the snack section unless you like things that are dry and chalky tasting. It was not good!

    This review is for Jeremie from the Sam's Club Tire/Battery Center (hi Jeremie, this is Johnny :) )…read more Just want to say what a fantastic job you and your team did for the tires installed yesterday (04.18). Was quoted to last the whole 2 hours (4-6pm), but install was finished around 5:10. Even if the wrong key was brought out at first, due diligence was made to locate the correct pair with the lanyard. Much appreciated. The one tip I'd like to offer for improvement is to provide additional clarity about the need for all lugnuts to be installed before switching out tires (as it would have saved a lot of headaches beforehand-- 2 hours I searched for the right lugnut and tools to install it). Other than that, I'm glad that the tires bought will be in the care of Sam's thanks to its protection plan bought, and looking forward to checking up on them as I march towards MN. Thanks again.
