Bloedorn’s Cody: A Shopper’s Guide

Why You Should Visit

• Exceptional Staff: You’ll encounter genuinely friendly and helpful employees who go above and beyond to assist with your needs, even on small projects. They’re always willing to listen and offer solutions, even if you’re unsure what you need. I’ve experienced their willingness to special-order items.
• Extensive Product Selection: The location offers a wide variety of building materials, including lumber, parts, and tools. They have a good selection of pressure-treated lumber, although availability of specific sizes may vary. Expect to find straight wood.
• Competitive Pricing: You can expect great prices on everything from lumber to tools. They even offered me a deal on a slightly imperfect piece of lumber.
• Helpful Cutting Services: I needed help cutting wood for a project, and they readily assisted. This is extremely helpful for those without tools.

Why You Might Consider Alternatives

• Yard Assistance Inconsistency: Be aware that while the staff inside is generally helpful, assistance in the lumber yard can be inconsistent. I experienced a significant wait while employees seemed preoccupied, and the assistant manager’s response to my request for help was unhelpful and dismissive. This issue appears to be ongoing.
• Lumber Quality Variation: While they offer a good selection, remember that the availability of perfectly straight pieces, especially in commonly used sizes, may be limited. They primarily have what is left over after other customers have picked through the stock.
• Consider Location: If you value consistent, prompt assistance in the lumber yard, the Powell Bloedorn location might be a better choice, as they offer a more efficient loading process.
