This company is not good for business. They delivered a sub standard cabinet instead of the high end one we ordered. Run don't walk from this company. They do not deal fairly with their customers. We ordered plywood but they delivered MDF. If we wanted MDF we won’t spend a fortune on the kitchen. We also wouldn’t have spent so much time waiting for it to be delivered.
We contacted them asking them to take back the item which was substantially different from what we ordered, they ignored us. Instead of sorting things out by discussing and coming to an agreement by either taking it back or discounting

I have reviewed you before and I am pretty sure I gave you five stars. GET A NEW KEY MAKING MACHINE. The old one makes defective keys most of the time. I give you guys five stars for everything else. I bought a kitchen from you! It was great!

Covid projects, from Water barrel stands, to a full garage overhaul and cleanup, to painting several rooms, National Lumber is and always will be my first stop. Close and convenient and the people really care, often I find myself in the aisle having conversation with the staff (George and Ernie are the best) they give me advice on all my projects and how to tackle them. Front counter help Terri, Michele, Traci and Rita are great and always helpful and smiling when I come in. You can go to a big box store but whey? when you can get great service and talk to people who know their stuff and care!

I want to share my message with you all. I’ve never been a big fan of National Lumber. Mainly because of employee customer service or lack there of.
But when my favorite paint store, formerly called Bables was purchased by the above fore mentioned, I’d give them another shot. At first I wasn’t too impressed with the people or customer service from the front desk to the paint department.
But as of late, people like Jason over at the Oakland street store have swung the “needle” to the more favorable side. I like when I call the store and someone answers, usually Jason not like the other

Had the most wonderful customer experience because of Jason. He is so personable, friendly, and most importantly knowledgeable in his field of paint selection and options. After purchasing all my paint products, he also recommended and sold me some additional tools to make my painting project much easier. Customer service seems to be lacking in most places today but Jason is a shining example of how to do it right. Thanks Jason

Usually when I come here I get good service. Traci, is a wonderful National Lumber employee. She is patient knows her stuff and has a beautiful ring which she most certainly deserves from her grateful husband. As I walked in with the look of utter confusion she shepherded me in finding the right dimensions and handles for our drawers. Thank you Traci for your excellent assistance.

Have worked with National Lumber for 14 years in their Commercial Division and they are a great company. Craig Morin is very responsive from the outside sales division always estimating projects for us and working with us for pricing and timely deliverables. Strongly recommend National Lumber for any rough framing, insulation, finish carpentry, door/frame/hardware, windows and Kitchen Cabinet needs!

To whom it may concern,
I am sending a quick note to express my extreme thanks and praise to "Jason, the paint guy" at the Oakland Street location. I have been going back and forth for a month picking out paint and asking a wide variety of questions as we tackle painting 5 rooms in our house. Jason is extremely knowledgeable and professional as well as patient. I was very concerned about painting over a fire engine red wall in one of our bedrooms. He gave me tips on the best way to tackle the project and assured me the paint would cover the red wall with two coats. I was doubtful when I purchased

Nice commercials lousy company. It took 3 deliveries to get my one order after they forgot parts. Then wanted me to pick it up at a different store because thats where they delivered it. Then they wanted to charge me a delivery fee for something I already paid for. They when I complained they hung up on me. Very disappointed for a local store that should pride themselves on customer service. Would not recommend at all.

It's good for very basics if you're local, but the inventory is sparse and often they don't have what I'm looking for in stock. Staff can be nice or sometimes unhelpful, but not very knowledgeable.

I highly recommend the National Lumber Store in Newton. They had what I needed in stock, and the delivery was quick, convenient and efficient. Everyone was knowledgeable and attentive, giving me exactly what I needed. My new composite stairs look great, thanks to a lot of excellent team work!

So I have always liked coming here and had no qualms about coming but today I won't be coming back to support during COVID. Two employees not wearing masks appropriately the noses were not covered. I bet it's not comfortable and challenging but we all need to be safe

My wife and i decided to try out national lumber to build 2 decks and remodel a bathroom.Our contractor told us to go to national where we would get the individual help we wouldn't get at lowes or home depot. Richard was very easy to deal with but told us he was overwhelmed with work at the beginning of June. We gave him the measurements and 2 days later we called him and told us how much decking we needed and everything was 3 days out. A week goes by and we call and are told the color was discontinued. We get up and go to national again to pick a new color. Now its 2 weeks out and we pay

Employees couldn't careless that I was there and waiting in line. Someone they knew came thru the door and they waited on him immediately. Waited 20 min and walked out. Went to ACE and was waited on with awesome customer service. Wont be back !

Great supplier for top quality building materials. Sales staff are knowledgeable and attentive to contractor's needs. Delivery drivers are great and materials arrive with the appropriate equipment to place them where needed on the job site. Very happy with their service.

Moved into my house in 2015. Three years later, the kitchen sink was hanging by the plumbing, and I had to place a brace in to prevent it from falling through. The seal failed, the clamps were rusted and loose, and its a total fail.
My neighbor also had the same issue after 2 years. Both house (new construction) had kitchen done by National lumber of Mansfield. When I called them (several times before I got a call back), they simply referred me to the sub they themselves hired for the granite and sink install, which was KB surface.
I send an email to KB surface. No response. I send a message

This company is dangerous. They should not be allowed to deliver any product. If u shut a road down by blocking it, in the city of Boston u need a detail cop. However national lumber keeps breaking the laws and doesn't seem to care.

Bob the paint whisperer ! Absolutely incredible - I stopped into National Lumber thinking I knew what color we wanted to paint the exterior of our house. He advised me to try an alternative and it is perfect. A big decision, big investment and his advice made all the difference. I could not have done better even if I paid a designer to separately come to my house and make a recommendation. Once we knew the base he also advised on trim and shutter colors. Other staff in the store were all excellent - we needed to buy a number of things for our new home. I am now all in as a loyal National Lumber

I dread going here and avoid it at all costs unless I have to, because the staff is incredibly unfriendly, unwelcoming, and discourteous and they act like I'm ruining their day by existing. I know this is Boston and we're not at the top of the list of friendliest cities in the country but for chrissake make an effort people. Until they learn some customer service/social skills I'll do my best to take my business to Concord Lumber, Sterritt, or even Home Depot where at least I'll get a "hello sir, what can I do for you?" And a "thanks have a nice day" at the

I really don't like this place. The cashier is mean and I can't ever find anyone to help me. I have a kitchen that was installed by the kitchen department years ago and have needed to replace the hinges over the years. "NO! We don't have them!" I had to go to Lowe's for help.

Since I like to shop locally, I did use the kitchen and bath department recently to get a new vanity and the woman, Diane, was very helpful. How does she stand working in such a mean place?

Suggestion, give the cashier lady time off to get some help.

I called them for a quote almost 2 weeks ago. They sent me a blank quote back. I ended up emailing back a week later and the salesman that answered my email said that he hadn't heard from his buyer yet, he was going to call them that day. Well needless to say, it is going on 2 weeks and still have not heard.

I guess the small business guy isn't that important to them. I ended up calling Ryan Building Products and got a quote within 10 minutes emailed to me.

Guess who won't be getting my business anymore and who will.....

My husband and I are planning some home construction, and I called to ask a quick question about a product line they carry. It happened to be near closing time on a Saturday. Instead of the employee spending five minutes on the phone, staying a couple minutes late, and gaining a new customer, I was rudely cut off with no explanation and told to call back Monday. We will spend our remodeling dollars elsewhere with a place that appreciates our business.

Why people go to National Lumber is a mystery to me. The woman that work the counter are all rude and seem to not want anyone other than a contractor in the store.

I had to order some azec posts and the sales person was huffy puff and rude with me. He also seemed to think because I was a woman i would be unable to install azec.

Avoid this place i would rather go to a Home Depot or lowes which i also despise.
The owners must be a real pleasure to work for here since everyone employee is rude.

My review is based solely on the Paint Department.

I recently moved into a old home in the area and have been doing as much of the work I can on my own. I have been going to DAN for all my paint projects. The guy does it all! He matches colors like a magician. I brought in a few things for him to match, and they ALL have been spot on, which I know is extremely hard to do, and something I haven't had anyone else able to do with such great perfection.

Dan has advised me on the proper ways to complete all my paint projects. I thought I knew how to paint, but with his advise my projects have
