Both times I've come in over the last couple days, I got quick service that was helpful and appreciated. I was even directed by an employee to a competitor who has a better price on a particular item I was looking for. To me, that displays a great amount of integrity and by doing so they gained my respect. Though I've just come in for quotes so far, I hope to patronize them in the future with actual purchases.

I finally built my vegetable garden, thanks to the help of David Smith and the wonderful folks at The Building Center.

As you can see from my pictures...it turned out beautiful!!! Thank you David for all your help. I hope you like tomatoes... :-)

Being new to the Lexington/Columbia area I went here looking to spend a couple grand on lumber for a shed/barn project, but the desk ladies seemed extremely disinterested in helping when I asked if they had a rough price list on some of their common lumber. They didn't ask me how much I might be interested in purchasing. They didn't offer a list of the lumber products that they do have nor even tell me that their website has a complete product guide. They could not have been less interested in getting my business. You would probably have better luck getting help with lumber if you're already an
