 Hi, this is Sam from Ulmquist Lumber. Local businesses that meet the needs of their community are truly invaluable. More times than not, the selection, knowledge, and service from local merchants far exceeds big box chain stores. They may be a few dollars cheaper, but their staff don't know what to recommend because they've never used the products themselves. Supporting local business is the best value for your dollar. At Ulmquist Lumber, we encourage you to buy locally from knowledgeable businesses.
