Even Lumber Yards Have Sales 

Valley Redwood in Sacramento

 

stack of lumber in SacramentoI had a need for some hard to find redwood lumber this week. After calling around, I was willing to go anywhere and pay just about any price to purchase this lumber. Valley Redwood of Sacramento was very helpful on the phone and assured me that they had what I needed. The gentleman on the phone quoted a price that I figured was an error; it seemed liked a low price to me. But like I said, I was willing to pay anything to get this lumber to complete the fence job on time.

As it turns out, Valley Redwood was having a sale on much of their lumber. I’m not talking about the old, warped boards that can’t even be given away; this was lumber that was just delivered. The delivery included exactly what I needed that day. I was very pleased with how things worked out.

Valley Redwood is a family owned and operated business in Sacramento since 1984.

I often find that small, local providers such as Valley Lumber are a better way to go than the big box stores.  Glad you got what you needed at such a good price.

Tom, I also find the family owned businesses are the best places to go. Sounds like you got a pretty good deal.

There are advantages to going to the local businesses Bryan. It may not always be the best price; the service and expertise can far outway that found in the big box stores.

Glad you were able to get a good deal - and good for you for paying them back with a bit of promotion. Valley Lumber sounds like a great local business to support. Have a good rest of the weekend Tom.

That's nice, Tom.  I'd love for our local lumber stores to have sale.  I need to pick material for a project at my house.  8-)  I probably shouldn't wait, I guess.

Tom:

I love a good sale, and that sounds like it was a good sale.  Unfortunately, I don't need any redwood now.  Good for you for blogging about the lumber yard, I hope they sold lots of lumber because of you.
