Knecht: A Sheridan Shopping Guide
Why You Should Visit
- Exceptional Customer Service: You’ll encounter friendly and helpful staff throughout the store. Employees consistently go above and beyond, assisting with loading heavy items (like 5 bags of tube sand) and even offering free help resolving unexpected problems on the road. Specific shout-outs go to Luke and Casey for their outstanding service.
- Competitive Pricing: I found the prices to be quite low, especially considering the excellent service provided.
- Extensive Product Selection: The store boasts a wide variety of products including roofing supplies, lumber, tools (even specialty tools for unique projects), hardware, fasteners, kitchen cabinets, bookcases, tile, and countertops. They also carry a nice selection of general contractor supplies.
- Tool Rentals: Need a specific tool for a one-off project? Knecht offers tool rentals, saving you the cost of purchasing equipment you might only use once.
- Knowledgeable Staff: The team is incredibly knowledgeable and offers helpful suggestions without being pushy. They’re a great resource for your project needs.
- Convenient Location and “Old School” Charm: It’s a local lumber yard with a welcoming, friendly atmosphere. The experience is reminiscent of an old-fashioned, helpful lumber yard – a true gem in today’s market.
Why You Might Consider Alternatives
- Limited Product Availability: They may not carry every item. For instance, they had discontinued a specific product (Flex Seal) that I was looking for, and I had to travel to Gillette to find it.
- Contractor-Focused Supplies: While they have a great selection, access to some materials may require general contractor licensing. This might limit the options available to casual DIYers.
- Potential for Unforeseen Challenges: While the staff is usually incredibly helpful, there is a chance you may encounter situations where immediate assistance isn’t available during peak hours or when there is an issue on the road needing help. It’s always best to plan ahead and factor in potential delays.
