    Late June 2020 coronavirus news: none of the staffers in the store were wearing any masks. Customers were not being asked to wear masks.

    Came in for a shovel and salt that day before the storm. Got the shovel, but the guy there was…read morehelpful about when they'd restock on salt that day. he let me warm my gloves on the radiator. Nice store.

    This Lowe's can never completed a simple key order! I should have walked away when the man…read morecouldn't figure out the key machine. I was respectful and followed the man whom swore by the other machine. He had possession of my key when he walked away from the store machine. I repeatedly asked him to slow down as I'm recovering from an Achilles repair. By the time I made it to the machine he said just put your credit card in. I said I wasn't sure I wanted the keys from the machine. he proceeded to say oh the give a key for free when you buy one. It literally was too late as Apple tap ran my card. Thru out the process the man repeated Lowes will give you money back of keys didn't work! Upon my return, employee wasn't the kindest. rather of the rude side. When I explained what happened she should have called on the manager to investigate why Lowe's employee assigned to key department could not apply how training to the process of making my key. I am a Lowe's Pro Business member and plan to be looking in Home Depot's business portion. I can not believe how they disregard what customers are saying about employee without asking for more details. Some empathy should be applied during all social interactions. Employees at all levels should never be as disgusting to an employee as they had been. Negative comments came from other department employees as they eaves dropped on my personal conversation.

    Staff is friendly and knowledgeable, and compared to box stores and suppliers, prices are very…read morereasonable. Quality is better than average box store or Ikea. If you know or care about the difference between an MDF cabinet box with laminate doors and a plywood one with solid maple doors, you will appreciate this place. They have everything you need to finish a home on the interior and exterior. Doors, windows, siding, flooring, cabinets, tubs, on and on. There are some deals, some not. Know your prices headed in. Inventory varies and if their website has it, it may be for order, or only available when they randomly get stock. They are conscientious about what they have or don't if you call ahead, but were a little impatient with a longer list. Their website says "We pride ourselves on providing excellent sales and delivery services to the Cecil County, Harford County, northern Baltimore County, New Castle County, Delaware and Chester County, Pennsylvania areas," but they do not go as far as the PA counties mentioned, at least not for homeowner orders. So be local or be prepare to haul stuff home. Made a trip today but they didn't have what I needed in a price competitive with another liquidator, though they definitely had great deals compared to Depot, Lowe's and my supplier. Had I not known of my other source, I definitely would've still saved 40% on fiberglass entry doors, and about 15% on fiberglass patio doors. They also offer a much better selection than a home improvement box store.

    This place is amazing! There are so many choices in supplies to choose from and the staff is very…read moreknowledgeable on everything. We met with Phil to discuss our kitchen remodel design and he went thru the plans in detail, showing us each and every cabinet, drawer and accessory that was incorporated into our design . He asked questions and answered questions quickly and professionally. We are very happy to be working with him on our remodel.

    I've been doing business with Diamond M Lumber since about 1980 as a homeowner, not as a…read morecontractor. I have always found them to be responsive to my needs. Their ginormous yard and store have about anything you could possibly want, consistent with an old fashioned country lumber yard. You can help yourself inside the store or they will provide assistance in finding what you need on the huge sales floor. The place is cluttered but they have about anything you possibly need from outsized lumber to real oak trimming, to multiple sizes and grades of plywood and treated plywood. They have many obscure items that a big box store wouldn't carry. Also, they offer bulk purchases of all manner of nails, screws and washers, right out of the boxes, as in days of old. If you are purchasing anything more than a few pieces or quantities of something, the owner will give you an adjusted price in many cases. A contractor I hired for a home addition relied on Diamond M for building supplies, especially since he needed some very outsized micro-lam beams to carry out my architectural plans. The downside of the business is that they are lacking an inventory control system and they use penciled pricing books to cost out an order, due to the lack of any computers at the counter. One employee told me jokingly that if he finds that something is out of stock, they tell the management and they will order a truckload of it! When I was in my prime, and doing a lot of work on my home and property, they came to know me. Whenever I walked in they would acknowledge me. Only once was the owner a bit snippy with me when I asked him a question while he was behind the counter but I didn't realize he was in the middle of some pricing estimates. So if you need something common and simple in small quantities, or if you need a huge barn beam and monster sized bolts to secure it, they will probably have it, or get it for you.

    Diamond M Lumber is Horrible they provided no assistance when purchasing and will not accept…read morereturns, very rude owner, stay away from this place.
