Very helpful! Came in last minute and they stayed and quoted me on a shed project, picked up my fence boards and was on my way! Excited to build the shed with their materials!

Great prices. Knowledgeable, helpful and quick staff. Easy loading of supplies as well as help. Get in get your building supplies and lumber get out to the job and get stuff done. Keeps your wallet fatter, ol lady happier, and your money local. Well thats a win! IMO! check em out near the airport in Yakima!

When I went there I quickly realized that if You are not a man they don’t want you there. I finally found a very nice and helpful young man but when I went to pay and to ask if they could special order something for me they acted as though I was not speaking English. Needless to say, I went someplace else and spent my money. They must be doing pretty well and not in need of new business. I will never return.

Very very helpful extremely knowledgeable we had had problems with Lowes and they showed how they real Lumberyard hardware store can act so great place to buy hope you all by there

Ordered lumber 3 days ago. Was bundled and ready for pickup when promised. Great local lumber place.. thanks Hellison!

Great staff....very friendly and helpful. They have gone out of their way to get things that arent available locally.

Super friendly staff! Thank you!😊😊

Came here today to get some 1x8s for a project Im working on. Every time Ive been here Ive had amazing service! One young man helped me choose my 1x8s and 2x6s and even helped me carry it back to my car. I realized I needed some 4 penny nails and another young man helped me with find what I needed. Overall, I left feeling like I got exactly what I needed with A+ service. I drive all the way from Selah to buy lumber at Helliesen because honestly, its the best lumber yard in Yakima Valley. Thanks Helliesen!

Home town attitude with stellar customer service. Dang near anything you need remodel repair or new construction. Great place

I work there so its a great place to pick-up your building materials.

Excellent customer service, they greet you by first name. Their prices are way better than the box stores. I support locally owned businesses. I ordered a 2x16x10 black walnut board for a custom wine rack I am making for my customer.

Not at all happy with the guy who delivered to my place on Friday. Drove his forklift onto my lawn and left a large indentation in my front lawn. You would think they would be intelligent enough not to drive that much weight up on a soft wet lawn. Material is straight but about a third of it is full of knots. Better quality than the big box stores just make sure you don’t trust the delivery drivers!!!

Very fast and customer oriented

Great service, knolegable staff and good prices.

Knowledgeable staff, great prices, quality materials.

Always friendly and knowledgeable office staff. Yard crew top notch. Way better than the big box stores.

Brian was very helpful

Ive never had an experience at a lumber yard so plesant. Or at any big chain. Friendly. Helpful . Understanding . Ive never been to a place so trying to help me. I left with a smile. And I will be back.

Always helpful, quick, and friendly both in the store and out in the warehouse when they are loading products. I have never had any billing issues either. Accounting dept. gets billing done right!

They were super helpful.

I see that one person is complaining about the prices at Helliesen Lumber. Having been a building contractor for almost 40 years, I would never go anywhere else for material. Perhaps the complainer is a fan of the twisted, cracked and warped material available at the big box stores in town. I am not. Helliesen does such a huge volume of business that their material is fresh and straight and of much better quality that anywhere else in town. Perhaps I COULD save a few dollars by driving another five miles and fight the weekend warriors at the big box stores and try to find decent material that hasnt been handled improperly. But that is NOT worth my time or my money.

They were great very helpful

You are always the most important thing that walks through their front door

Ive been wanting to check out this place for quite a while. Unfortunately, I happen to work the same hours that Helliesen is open - but I finally got off early and decided to check it out. Im disappointed that they arent open a tad later or for a few hrs on Saturday AM. Im building some raised garden beds and decided to check out my options. Upon walking in, I was greeted by the amazing smell of popcorn! Theyve got a little machine with some delicious popcorn to snack on! Major plus for this guy - I love that stuff. Anywho - back to the lumber - my options were Douglas fir-larch, pressure treated lumber, and cedar. The douglas fir-larch is around $0.65 / LF. Pressure treated was about $1.65/LF, and cedar was around $3.30/LF. Based on the fact that I would have to seal the regular wood, I decided to go with 12 pressure treated. Im a fan of local business, but prices have to be competitive. In this case, prices for a 2x8x12 was about 15% higher than at one of the big box retailers. In general, that seems like a resonable premium that you may pay here over the home improvement juggernauts.I was assuming that Helliesen only sold lumber, but they have quite a few other items. You can find a lot of woodworking tools and fasteners, safety items, as well as basic construction materials - but, mostly things that are wood related.If you like supporting local business and dont mind a small premium, Helliesen is a great option for lumber in Yakima. If they were open on saturdays, Id buy a lot more lumber from here!

I moved to Yakima in the early 70s and found myself involved with the Yakima Home Builders Association. In those first impression years Harry, Chet, and the stockers always had what I wanted and the quality was tops. Today Im somewhat back in the business in Spokane and havent found a lumber yard equal to Helliesens. Ill stop in on my next visit to Yakima and perhaps Ill put an order in for a truckload of doug fir dimensial
