Wonderful and helpful staff! great shop all around. the service and access to products. They found a specialty product for us (Wild Hog railing/trellis panels) and although a small order, they treated us like a big customer. They called and did as they said and very timely. Thank you.

The shop at John S Wilson Lumber Company was on point. They custom cut, sanded and biscuit joined the pieces we needed to the exact specifications we provided in less than 15 minutes at no additional charge. Better yet it was cheaper than Home Depot and exactly what Josh wanted.

I needed some help milling lumber and the gentlemen in the shop helped me immediately even though I dropped in without calling ahead. They took the time to understand my project and advised me on the best next steps to take for my lumber. Extremely helpful and will be back.

Excellent customer service and wide variety of selection. Needed some custom handrails made quickly. They were able to make them to spec the same day!

Went in, told them what I needed, they loaded it into my car and I was gone - great experience. I'll definitely be going back. I would recommend calling ahead and asking about what lengths they have for the lumber you're looking for. You can't shop around, so call ahead and come in with a list. They'll cut it for you too.

If you need doors or windows, this is your place. They are very careful about getting the order right as in measurements and actual requirements. We are replacing a door on our historic property and they were accommodating with the local historic committee requirements. We are getting a modern door that conforms to the look for a historic property.

Love them. They are amazingly helpful for building products, Anderson window conversion kits, replacement parts, decking materials, etc. We have a 25 year old house that always has a room or part being renovated and they are the best. Knowledgable, service oriented, fair pricing, quick delivery and over 100 year old company. They help you get the best product for your money. Nothing fancy, more like an old barn when you go inside, complete with a friendly cat.
