They offered me to come back and pay, I was afraid i would forget. I shopped instead. I knew I probably needed more items. When I checked out, the woman asked me if I was going to put the phone holder on my bike now. I said yes, so she followed me out with a screw driver.

He did an absolute TERRIBLE job installing the carpet. There was a gap between the wall and the carpet in the hallway that he had to have known was there, the carpet wasn't fastened down on the ends or folded over, he used the utility knife and left multiple blades on my windowsill for my grandson to get into. Tony refused to refund any money. Please see attached pictures. Evidently Menards doesn't check to see if these people actually know how to install carpet. I contacted Menards and was told they could not do anything because they don't work for them. I assume that he's probably still on the list as a contractor-do not use Tony Johnson.

(Don't let the name on the building confuse you, they are now affiliated with True Value but it is still locally owned and operated.) I've been here several times for pieces and parts for various projects, and they have had my parts on hand. They are conveniently located off the 169/92. They have ample parking with easy access. Their staff has been very helpful. On a recent visit, we were in for some items that we ran short of, and, of course they had enough for us to finish. BUT, more importantly, we had an unusual design that we wanted to implement. I wasn't too sure if the right pieces and parts existed to implement our design. Surprisingly their staff got the visual quickly and was helpful in thinking outside of the box for searching for a solution. This rarely happens in the big box stores! It was very refreshing to talk with a staff that actually has worked on projects. We'll be back!

They have a nice lumber yard and a small repair shop for tools. The greenhouse always has a nice supply of flowers and veggies and trees in the spring and summer seasons. There is also a plentiful supply of items that can be rented - from chairs/tents to tillers and other machinery.
