It was a bit busy with only one person working on Sat morning but the customer service was good. They have beautiful redwood in a variety of sizes and grades. Will be back for the next project.
The good: Niche redwood lengths and sizes if you’re in a pinch or have a job that requires unusual dimensions.The bad: Terrible attitude and customer service, overpriced, a “we don’t need your business” vibe.I don’t know any professional builders that come here unless they absolutely have too. I’m not here to bash this place but I’ve given them too many chances and they always let me down. They seem to cater towards the weekend warrior “I took up carpentry during the pandemic” crowd. It’s a novelty store.
Full selection of quality redwood.
Went in last Saturday. Within an hour I had two custom-milled 2.75 x 9.5 x 12 for a parapet wall railing. Its faster if you know what you need and know wood. But fear not, these guys will also take care of you. There is limited parking outside but you can pull into the yard, where there is more room. They also carry a smart selection of wood fasteners, much superior to Pastime Hardware, which due to poor selection and quality I havent been able to use for quality wood fasteners for years (even before they recently and permanently lost my business).
I had a great experience and high quality lumber. I was able to correspond via whatever mechanism was easiest for me (email/phone/text) I changed my order a few times and everyone was super easy to work with. My delivery person (Andrew) was great. We had an issue with the order, he got on the phone resolved it and delivered the remainder that afternoon. Ill be back when I need anything.
At The Lumber Baron we found high quality lumber at a great price. The staff were friendly and helpful. The delivery was scheduled quickly and they helped us unload to the back yard... above and beyond! All round a great experience, thank you!!
Friendly, good selection of redwood and cedar.
The lumber baron is without equal in NorCal for redwood. They have the most sizes, grades and finishes of any place I have been to. They also have reclaimed bay bridge wood for reclaimed projects.
Quality Redwood lumber and selection of differant grades
I loved my experience sholpping for some intersting wood for my redone den/multipurpose room. Max is friendly, straightforward and easy to work with. The selection of wood is very good. We had a charge card snafu that was quickly correctly. Delivery was prompt. I am very happy.
Max at The Lumber Barron is helpful and straight forward. Great to work with. The driver that delivered our order was great, helpful and kind. Cant thank them enough. Recommend them to anyone.
Helpful, excellent customer service, good people.
Max and his team are great to work with: Very professional and responsive. And I love the quality of the wood products they provide.
Truly superior wood. Really helpful customer service. Bit expensive but worth it!
Great folks, good selection of honest redwood lumber grades, reasonable lumber & delivery prices, easy access off I-80 in El Cerrito, California. I have bought all my redwood from Lumber Baron since 1990, as a licensed contractor as well as for our own home improvement projects.
Great assortment of all grades of wood. Very pleasant folks to do business with.
Nice selection of quality lumber unlike yhe box stores.
Awesome staff and lots of choices between good lumber. Staff helped load our posts into the truck.
Very helpful service over the phone and the delivery driver did a great job of unloading the materials. Great job
Great old school redwood lumber yard. Can be a bit tricky to navigate, but they have really good product at very fair prices.
Good selection of OG redwood, but premium priced and inflexible on breaking down long boards. Act like they dont need your business.
Love this place. No one can beat the quality at Lumber Baron. Redwood is supposed to be Red, not yellow. The owner, Max, had some beautiful reclaimed redwood I used for stain grade casement windows. The grain was straight and tight. My favorite aspect of the Lumber Baron, no cumbersome orange carts. You can park your truck right at the wood you need and load-up! No barcode hunting games or clowns on forklifts parading around. Im in and out in 10 mins every time.
Awesome wood. Great people.
Awesome wood... AND service
Great customer service and awesome redwood!!!!
The worst experience and have ur wallet ready.
Specialty redwood, friendly staff
