I brought an order into La Mesa Lumber for a custom cut 2 x 4; I wanted a cross cut and also needed it ripped diagonally. The miller that did the work was a real professional. I watched as he took my measurements, cut it to length, and then lined it up for the rip cut. The end product came out perfect. The next day, I called them to put in a good word for him and was told that he was actually born in a home on their property! I think that may qualify him as a "plank owner"... At any rate, I was very impressed with his skills and his determination to put out excellent work.

We had 2 projects and requested quotes from ALL lumber providers big and small. We even supplied them the plans. Needless to say the response was dismal EXCEPT for La Mesa Lumber. The professional and experienced team were wonderful. The cost maybe a tad more BUT you receive a quality lumber and an experienced team who are committed to you being successful.

The store is great, but the yard guys are lazy and if you have a big order to load, they hide or take one look at your ticket and tell you I will get someone to help and never do and never come back, our driver spends all his time loading his own flatbed. Dixieline is better we never have a problem getting help to load our truck.

New to the area. Stopped in to get some things to put a dryer vent in for an RV. Had the vent, needed to adjust the hole and grt some things. Gentlemen helped me find the bit, bolts and nuts, and the silicone sealant to get me all squared away. Very friendly and very helpful. Will be doing more business here during our stay.

Remembering now how nice a little lumber & hardware store can be compared to the huge Home Depot that thousands of employees. Nice to be helped right away & also surprised to find out that price was a great deal lower than HD. I saved $60 shopping with the little guys & taken care with the same person I spoke to on the phone. It was fast, friendly, helpful & affordable experience. Than you Tyler and La Mesa Lumber & Hardware. I will be back.

Great customer service EVERY TIME I’ve been there. Friendly staff, accommodating delivery times (FYI no weekends), and better pricing than Home Depot on what I needed.

We ended up getting excellent customer service from the decking person, Matt, and for that I am very thankful. Price is higher that big box stores unfortunately to a point of not using them. They need to update their website as well.

I have been doing business with la Mesa lumber for about 25 years with both personal projects and business projects. The level of customer service is unmatched by any other retail store or vendor I have dealt with. They treat each and everyone as a human and not a translation. They are interested in your project, always eager to help solve problems, go above and beyond at each and every level, even if they don't have what you need they will help you find an establishment that will. If your in the market for construction materials I recommend stopping by. They will greet you at the door (by

Overall great place for that hard to find size and type of wood. We are project builders and my newest vision called for 1x12 at 10 feet redwood. After looking at multiple stores I got the recommendation to check out La Mesa lumber. I called them up, they told me they had my wood and the price over the phone. Drove down and they told me what bay to drive over to. The kind worker (didn't get his name) showed me the ones they had. He helped me pick a great piece and even cut and loaded in my truck for me. Check out was super easy, and I was on my way. In and out in 10 minutes and everyone was

I don't know how many times I have driven past this lumberyard with just a cursory glance. I never even really gave it much thought. But when I was searching online for some specialty lumber they were listed as having it in stock. I called, and got exemplary service over the phone. Then I paid a visit. I interacted with a half dozen different people and all were cheerful, friendly, and helpful.
Long story short, I placed an order for delivery and got just as good of service from the order desk and the delivery personnel. Quality lumber and quality service.
Needless to say, my nest trip

After shopping multiple places for windows and a new large 10-foot sliding glass door, we went with La Mesa Lumber. Not only were their prices competitive but the customer service was outstanding. I worked with Matt and he was very attentive and provided an estimate, a confirmation when payment was made and also shipping information.

The windows and door are now installed and they are a beautiful addition to our home, they are really stunning.

I appreciated their attention to detail and I will be working with them again.

Give no info up front purchased some lumber for my patio cover and had it delivered. The plans changed and had some left over boards and they would not return. Not ideal for DIY homeowners because they aren't flexible at all. It's obvious they only want business from contractors which is disappointing.

The lumber I got was overall lower quality than expected - I ordered 20% more than needed and it still was not enough after discounting the bad cedar (meant for ceiling). When asking them to change some of it, they refused it invoking the 14 days policy. They refused even to throw in a deal on delivery. I understand they were covered by policies, but after all it was their lumber that brought me into this ... I would not recommend them.

Now that I've seen La Mesa Lumber and Hardware, I have no idea why anyone would shop at the Big Box stores. La Mesa Lumber has the best quality, best variety, fantastic service, and that old-fashioned hardware store feel you just don't find anymore. They custom cut my lumber for me, helped load it, and were pleasant through the entire encounter. I cannot recommend this place highly enough.
