Evanston Lumber Company Reviews

Windows, doors, trim, lumber, siding...great prices and excellent customer service.

Thank GOD for these independant lumber yards and businesses. Once these places get over run by the mega corporations such as Home Depot and Lowes, we wont be able to have the specialty items that these lumber yards provide. It might be cheaper at the mega Corps, but thats only while there is still independant yards around. They dont like these independant yards so they will price things lower just so that these kind of companies close out. So I am willing to pay a few more bucks to save these type of independant lumber yards to get the unique items that only they can provide.

Prices are a little higher than other lumber yards for the same product. They carry a wide variety products and keep a good stock of them. Just don't like the different credit levels they issue to their customers. After 40 years of doing business together you would think you could get something for loyalty.

Excellent customer service, knowledgeable sales people, friendly delivery crew and a great location. Cannot find a better place for lumber, windows and doors.

Evanston Lumber customer service is excellent excellent quality in lumber supplies for the North Shore area

Great service and people. I like to support these smaller companies and pay extra just to save these smaller companies,. I found Azek 4X8 PVC board that no where else has it. especially not the Mega Corporqations. These specialty items is what we need and we will lose if these lumber yards no longer exist. I will always support and thank GOD for these independently owned businesses! I give you 5 stars and 2 thumbs up!

If you want good lumber, then Evanston Lumber is the place to go. They have a knowledgeable staff who is pleasant to deal with.

Terrible location for a business that receives large shipments from semi trucks. Wrong address for receiving. Correct address is 942 Custer Ave. Evanston, IL. "Not" 1001 Sherman Ave. Or 704 Main Street. You have one job, get it right.

Love the selection of quality materials, amazingly better than any big box outlet, and they also carry hard to find trims/moldings.

Great people, great material, They are a busy yard because of the the quality & variety of the material. The team there is very knowledgable and efficient.

We have been partnering with Evanston Lumber for years. In a day when it's rare to have a lumber yard get your order right let alone care about what you need and how they can help you get it, Evanston Lumber certainly has that and more.
I believe they truly care about the people they work with and have working for them. It's not just the quality of the product they sell, and that is great. It's more about the experience they deliver. I attached a couple of the cool projects we have done with them.

Best lumber store I've ever used over my 25 years of carpentry.

Got my kitchen cabinets here. I worked with Kristie Higdon, the designer, for almost a year to get the final design and aesthetic I was looking for. So happy with the final product! Kristie was patient, knowledgeable, persistent and very precise. She worked with the contractor and the installers to get every detail right. The cabinets are more expensive than the box stores but very reasonable for what your get. I would highly recommend them!

They have primo lumber products and friendly staff. So much better than the big box stores. If cost is a driving factor look elsewhere, but for quality material this is the spot. They are the Festool of lumber yards.

IF you deliver here by a semi this place is a total joke, you have to come in from an alley not at the address and good luck turning around.

have been a long time customer. their prices are very competitive, they deliver stuff for cheap and their product are very good. purchased multiple windows, doors and framing material for my house. this 2011 seems to have gone down. 2012 was even worse and customer service continues to be bad. 2013 I am not sure what I am thinking by going back to their business. It is my fault but overall I would suggest you go to another local lumber yard. I see their trucks moving stuff all the time but maybe they are not doing so well and everyone is on edge, I will not be using them anymore.

We LOVE Evanston Lumber! Their team is so knowledgable. They know their products inside and out and have supported us through countless projects! I would recommend them for ANY building material needs.

The staff is very knowledgeable and helpful. They recognized that my 7 year old was going to be helping with the project and made a point of asking him questions also.

On the search today for baltic birch ( I use the sheets to make surfaces for photography and the cheaper ply warps sometimes slightly, sometimes not so slightly). The plywood here seemed a grade above what I would get at Home Depot. Everyone was helpful and friendly. Pablo helped me out with getting the two sheets I bought placed carefully on the roof of my vehicle and strapped it down in a way that showed experience and care. Thanks, Pablo.

Everyone is very kind and very helpful! Had a wonderful experience.

Great place! if they don't have it, they can get it in a couple days. friendly, helpful and knowledgeable staff too.

Evanston Lumber has consistently shown itself to be a customer orientated lumber yard. From the selection and quality of materials, competitive pricing and outstanding service from order through delivery I cannot offer a higher praise. In the over 20 years I have been a customer not once have I ever dissatisfied. Richard is with out a doubt a first rate manager. The delivery personal are courteous, prompt and efficient. As a business owner they make my life easier indeed.

Through the many years I have been using Evanston Lumber, not only to provide my windows, doors, Azek, Cedar, they always provide a great product and a very timely delivery with great customer service. The premium product line is key to providing our customers with the best quality build. From the owner to the sales team, I always get a friendly face and willingness to help meet our needs.

Evanston Lumber is a quality lumber yard with all the materials you would need along with a competitive pricing. Family owned and operated business with great personable employees.

They're a great resource for building materials and information. I appreciate the friendliness and knowledge that the staff has. Thanks!
