Great small town lumber yard, friendly and knowledgeable staff. I am a county boy and I cringe at the thought of big box stores

This is my favorite Castle Building Centre. All the staff members are very friendly and excited to help customers. There are lots deals throughout the store and they'll have pretty much everything you need.

Was recommended to this place when I asked builders where to buy lumber from for my garage addition. They have competitive lumber prices compared to the box stores, but it's all considerably better quality somehow. They have a huge selection of almost every length denomination you need. They also carry top quality products that I cant find anywhere else. The staff knows their stuff, I live in LaSalle but will drive the extra 10min to get here than deal with the box stores on Walker Rd.
