Used to be a company you could rely on. Not anymore. New owners are running the business into the ground. Terrible. Save yourself the trouble and go elsewhere

Very helpful, greeted me at the door & took me to the items I was looking for, helped with the selection & helped pick out a saw blade to cut metal. Lowes had no clue & sold me a package of blades that didn't work.

Be very careful. Tuckerton Lumber is servicing customers without masks. Guy got on top of me in parking lot where I was at window paying. He would not back up and had no mask. He yelled expletives at me ang tuckerton took his credit card and that caused him to move up right next to me. Do not go there. They are not following guidelines.

I have been a customer here for a long time and they are a great place for all of your hardware and building needs. But with current pandemic they have had to adapt to purchase over the phone and pick up. Awesome customer service and they have everything you want. Please support the local business they are one of the best
