I am a former employee at GH slack off. I would not recommend using their services. They thrive off harrasment. Numerous safety hazards throughout the warehouse. Sawdust everywhere would not take much to start a fire in 100 degree heat. Drivers are irresponsible driving at dangerous speeds abrupt stops with heavily loaded flatbeds and poorly maintained trucks. Material is always damaged and stored improperly and unsafe.
Not to mention exposed insulation with fiberglass just floating around. And welding equipment being used. Poor customer service and extremely poor management. Material constantly falling off trucks due to aggressive driving. I WOULD RECCOMMEND SEEKING OUT DOORS AND WINDOWS FROM ANOTHER COMPANY. THE BULK MATERIAL THEY GET FOR DIRT CHEAP AND MARK UP THEIR PRICE 300% TERRIBLE COMPANY.

Worst customer service. My husband and I entered the store with no idea where to go, we had to ask someone which way to go after obviously walking back and forth. We decided to look anyways since we are in desperate need for interior doors for our den, still no acknowledgement from anyone. We had questions and no one around to answer. There were staff laughing and chatting in the back offices and staff at the front desk doing the same. Aside from their poor customer service skills, there were not a lot of options or at least non I would have any knowledge of considering everyone was too busy hanging out to show us.

Your Driver today at approximately 1223pm-1227pm was speeding at speeds of over 60-85 on Hagemen tail gating cars pressing them then starting them down at the stop lights. WHITE FORD F-150 Caucasian Male with sunglasses and there is NO SUN OUT TODAY, Facial hair full beard. Vehicles plate # 8R67333 huge sticker of the company GH SLACK & sons on the tail gate. Pretty ignorant to be driving this dangerous and have your company name blasted on the truck.

The customer service here is top notch. We came here to pick out baseboards for our whole entire home. The contractor who installed them told us we could come here to see all of our options and to let him know what we wanted so he could buy it and install it. When we arrived, we were immediately greeted. The employee walked us over to the baseboard sample area. He explained to us the different options and styles and answered all of our questions.
He checked stock of several items for us and helped us to eventually decide on which style of baseboards when wanted to use. As far as purchasing, we didn't have any experience with that as our contractor bought them here. We did like the excellent customer service and we will be back if we need anything G.H Slack and Son offers. They have been around for many, many years and I have heard nothing, but great things about them.

While I know that most of the staff here are knowledgeable about the products they sell, getting someone to talk to you is, most times, a chore. Then, getting pricing is also problematic as you speak to one person and they seem to contradict someone else.
