Let me see if I can get through this review without making jokes about it. I probably can't but…read moreread on, anyway. There are a number of quarries in Waukesha County, some are private for construction companies but others are open to pros in the trades and to regular home owners, like me. Halquist is probably the best known of that type of quarry. The company carries a wide range of construction materials from the simplest crushed limestone to stone veneers, stone kitchen counters, decorative stones of all kinds and even to pavers. There is a very impressive showroom for you to inspect. The Halquist staff is helpful and as comfortable with construction pros as they are with the most ignorant consumer that walks in the impressive front door. The building is clad with a wide range of stone veneers, all labeled for your research. Various types and sizes of crushed stone are on display as are pavers and landscaping blocks of all kinds. Rest assured, all are clearly labeled for your research. In fact, the grounds display an impressive array of landscaping, patio and construction concepts and ideas. I was in need of several tons of crushed stone to replace stone washed out of my driveway. The experts listened to my needs and what I thought I wanted, then patiently explained what I really wanted and why. Crushed stone is sold by the ton but measured in cubic yards. Even with an online calculator that figures out how much stone I needed, I still completely underestimated how much I actually needed, and wound up making three trips to Halquist. No one laughed at me, in fact, they were happy to see me again. Ready to make a purchase but you're intimidated by construction yards? Don't be. The Halquist system is idiot proof, if you know the procedure. Understand, all products here are sold by weight. When you pull into the parking lot, look for the scale. Drive up on to the scale, it doesn't matter if you have a dump truck, heavy trailer or washtubs in the back of a pickup truck, just drive on to the scale. Stop and wait for a voice command to come over the loudspeaker. Typical consumer products (crushed limestone, decorative stone, sand, etc.) are in the first aisle. Turn left. You can shovel your own into buckets (sand, small amounts of stone, etc.) if you like, but more likely, you'll have a truck or trailer. Wait in your vehicle, a front end loader will soon appear and the operator will ask what you're purchasing and how much you need. I had a rented dump trailer. Before you know it, you'll be loaded and on your way. Stop on the scale again, and wait for the voice command to proceed. There is a parking area just to the right of the scale, pull into one of those long, angled spaces. Head inside and settle up your bill. It's that easy! Nope, can't do it. I went to Halquist today to get stoned. And yes, they rocked my world. You see, I told you I couldn't get through it without the requisite gags.

Terrible customer service. visited store to look at products for our home and no one offered to…read morehelp. instead went to a big box store to purchase not knowing they used Halquist as their supplier. Once our countertops were installed we immediately saw a problem and had to have them back. a few months later our seam was failing and after calling, visiting, and messaging them it has taken months to get them to come fix the problem. finally they set a date to arrive but did not show up on time, in fact I'm still waiting and not sure they ever will show up. we have more counters to replace and I will be sure wherever we go we will make sure they do not use Halquist.

Seriously, what an incredibly easy experience!…read more We were delighted to find a rock/landscaping company with stock options available this time of year. We wanted a white medium sized gravel for our previous garden beds around the house. The summer got away from us, and we found that our options were limited. Once we gave Lurvey's a call and were invited to stop by, we were floored! Their customer service was top notch, and they even provided samples! They had exactly the type of rocks we wanted, and their prices were unbelievable. We were thrilled we could rock around the entire perimeter of our house with additional garden beds at a fraction of the cost of their competitors. Even better, their delivery service was well worth it. We were on the fence about delivery or pickup initially but then told that we could have it within a few days even despite the holiday. Much to our surprise, they were able to deliver our order the same day! Shoutout to Juan for being so helpful and making the delivery a breeze. We can't wait to shop again for more of their great products!

Menard's has the worst customer service I have ever experienced. I tried to return a power washer I…read morehad purchased one week earlier. Despite giving them my credit card and the approximate date of purchase, they refused to look up the transaction. I had to go to a self-serve kiosk to retrieve the receipt. They could not repair the washer, informing me that the closest service center was in Sun Prairie, a one hour drive from Pewaukee. The refused to consider a return or exchange because I put gas in it. Of course I put gas in it. I tried to use it. Menard's you have lost by business forever. I will go to Elliot's Ace hardware on Capitol. Even if it costs a little more, their dedicated customer service makes it well worth the price.

We got assistance and guidance from Virginia in the gallery, she wasn't at all judgemental when I was originally looking for the cheapest. Their cheapest are still pretty good quality. There was no upsell, and she was able to show the clusters of price ranges in their very large showroom so we could avoid the oh my gosh level of pricing. Currently, the best deal by far for all brass is Astor Marris but prices are fluctuating dramatically differently by brand. Their lowest price kitchen and bathroom pulls are not cheaply made products, they start at good, lots of intermediate better, and a startling selection for those for whom money is no object. We also got some work gloves and a smoke detector for good prices (better than Amazon).

Yes there are signs, but those can be hard to see because of the pallets of things in the middle aisle. This store is always a MESS. Product is missing from the pegs but normally if you look at the stuff on the floor in open boxes, you might find it. Prices are OK, not "big box" prices, but you didn't have to drive the extra 5 miles to get to Home Depot or Menards. Some of the staff is young and "green" and you are better hitting up the older guys to get exactly what you want. It is NOT a huge store... so if you are older and patient, it can be a much better experience than walking for miles in the big box stores. This ACE is not helped by whom ever owns this run down shopping center, with a patched and bumpy parking lot and a general shabby appearance.
