Building Materials: Local vs. Big Box

The choices can seem endless when it’s time to buy building supplies for an upcoming project. The first choice for many contractors is whether to buy at a big box store or local lumber yards and hardware stores. The benefits of a big box store are simply selections and quantity. The benefits of shopping at a small business, like Page Lumber: we have only the proven quality products. While we don’t have everything, we almost always have everything you need to build a house. We have experts on staff and the faces are the same every time. We know you and your business. Here are a few more reasons why we believe local is the best option:
