These guys are spot on and extremely helpful every time I shop there. They usually have just what I am looking for and if they don't they are very knowledgeable as to what can be used in place of it.

Because it was over an hour drive I made sure to call first to see if they had a selection of DECORATIVE crown moulding. The man over the phone said yes they had a few styles in stock so we took the drive. After arriving I was angry to see they did NOT. They have the same thing as Home Depot which is 5 minutes from our house. WHY do this to people? Anyway the store is clean, well lit and had 3 workers on a Saturday morning. We did not see anything they had that seperates them from Lowe's or Home Depot. Disappointment!
