Hunter Bower Lumber

Have only been there once. Was shopping for a utility pole. Was told on the phone they had one, and they did, but it was in bad shape. There was an employee in the lumber yard that I tried to talk to. He had offered to help but didn’t seem like he really wanted to. The poles we were looking at are spec’d to have a minimum of 6″ diameter at the top. I was asking about the sizes and how much they tapered and he kept saying «6» top” like it was a mantra with him. I got it the first time and I knew if before arriving there.
Any requests pretty much ended up with the same response, you know it, «6″ top».
I thanked him and said I didn’t need his «help» any more.
The unfortunate thing is they might be the only place in town that sells the poles but I think I will go with a steel pipe instead of the wood pole, partly due to that single poor experience.

Great location, knowledgeable and friendly staff and good prices. They have been doing a great job for decades!

When I’m working on a project, I like knowledgeable, friendly assistance. Local stores almost always provide this better than the big boxes. Hunter Bower Lumber is an excellent local place for efficient, kind service. I called first to check on the items I needed, and spoke to a real person on the phone right away. When I arrived at the store, I was helped promptly and with courtesy. Wonderful experience! Thank you, Hunter Bower Lumber!

Hunter Lumber is truly a good business — helpful, affordable, and they know their stuff
