Tahoe City Lumber

Don’t know what planet these nay sayers are from… but my experience at Tahoe City Lumber Company could not have been more different… well stocked, knowledgeable staff, cool Tahoe vibe… would recommend the place to anyone and everyone!

Yeah, they really do not want your business. There is one sort of nice guy behind the counter, and the other, huskier one, is the worst. He should go home and quit ruining this business. He must have trained the younger, fair-​haired, curly-​haired, huskier kid who works in the yard. They won’t waste syllables on you and will not waste eye contact with you. And, if that isn’t bad enough, they are sarcastic! They do not care. You have to plead for any assistance. And, if you ask a question, you get SNAPPED AT !!! They have some good inventory, for the most part, so my husband and I go there … ONLY if we absolutely have to! Maybe they just want only professionals shopping there. Although my husband should qualify as a professional now after completely renovating our Tahoe home himself! If you are a do-​it-​yourselfer or homeowner, don’t go there! Go to Truckee-​Tahoe Lumber back up the road in Tahoe City on the opposite side of the street! I agree with reviewer William B from one year ago.

if i could make it a neg star i would. asked to use the rest room when waiting for my purchase and was directed to a disgusting porta potty. asked again and was told their bathroom was not ada compliant. then, she told me no dogs were allowed. spoke to contractor friend who told me he uses the real bathroom all the time there. also, been in there before and seen many dogs and they even have dog cookies up front! denise discriminates against women and dogs. go to SWIGARDS down the street has what you need and they are sooo nice and friendly. denise, owner, is rude, lies, and will be getting a call from the ada.

Probably the best selection and most services of any lumber yard/​hardware store from Homewood to Incline. It is, however, a bit gruff. What really drives me away from this place is some of the people there. Most are just indifferent, but my experience with a couple of them was unpleasant and unprofessional. I always try and buy local, but I would rather sell my soul and head to a big box retailer out of the basin than deal with some of these guys.
