The crew working on site is always very friendly and helpful. We were looking for cedar planks and got a tour of the various kinds and dimensions in the store, leaving with a couple of free samples. Came back and bought $2k of 1x4 WRC T&G and the quality of the wood is excellent. They also check the pieces before purchase/delivery to make sure that they are not damaged.

Did an amazing job with the order, getting back to me and guiding me throughout the process. Came back today to pickup the order and Brian helped me, significantly. I thought I was "smart" and could load up my outbacks interior with this. Big mistake! Luckily Brian was there to help me and loaded up the entire order on the roof racks. He ratcheted them in and tagged the load for me so it was safe to drive. He saved me from having to pay for delivery on such a small order!! Awesome Team guys. Thank you.

They also help with locating less common materials and have a wonderfully helpful staff. Highly recommended.Eddie LeeEddie Lee ★★★★★ I had a great experience here. I had some shingle siding damage to my house, and couldn't find just a couple shingles to repair my house with anywhere. Every place that had them wanted to sell me a whole box! A worker at Issaquah Cedar and Lumber gave me a handful of shingles that had fallen out of packages over time, and even a handful of nails to complete the job! The repair came out pretty well!KB KBKB KB ★★★★★ These guys are top notch. They gave great cedar product at fantastic prices. The staff is so accommodating and nice, too. Doesn't get better than this. THANK YOU!js_loader
