As a professional deck builder, I have used Advantage lumber on many occasions. the quality of material is outstanding and they are quick to respond should any issue arise during shipping. The salesmen at Advantage lumber was very professional and responsive when we had some issues with the shipping company. The shipping company that they used was disorganized and dysfunction, but the salesman at Advantage was quite helpful. When the shipping company 'forgot' to drop off a box of accessories, he went ahead and sent me another free of charge. (the original box eventually showed up a week later) There was some confusion as to who was supposed to call who when the order arrived in Denver from Cali in order to schedule delivery. Seems the shipping company expected me to call them and 'make an appointment' to schedule delivery. My expectations were that they would call me when it arrived in Denver and we would make those arrangement then. Not sure what happened there, but I would suggest that this process could have been made clearer in the beginning. I intend to keep using Advantage lumber when I have clients that request exotic wood for there decks.

I had few issue but with delivery but they made situation right. I would order again

I had some problems with the shipment of IPE wood from Advantage. After sending pictures and some conversations on the phone, I was able to get a satisfactory solution to my order. The process took a little time and patience but the end result worked for us and the IPE wood provides a beautiful deck railing which has elicited many positive comments.

Three years ago I built a Tigerwood deck, approximately 400 square feet, from Advantage Lumber. I ordered approximately 15% more than needed, to account for damaged, warped, discolored, or otherwise not useable lumber. Everything arrived on time. About 10% was not useable, although I tend to be more particular than most. Deck installation went well, as long as you follow some basic rules. I ordered the bending tool, which was quite useful, as nothing is of course perfectly straight and it takes a lot of force to bend lumber against its width. Make sure your joists are perfectly level (shim as required) and everything goes together quite well. Check grain direction to avoid cupping (convex side up). The deck was beautiful for the first summer. Gradually, however, it has changed over time from the orange tinted tigerwood grained surface, to a much more uniform, medium brown surface, despite the use of the recommended decking oil once a year. All the picture's I've seen of Tigerwood decking have apparently been completely new decks. The wood itself appears to be holding up well. I am not sorry I built the deck or used Tigerwood, or ordered from Advantage. It is not, however, the showpiece deck everyone raved about that first year.

The product was good and shipped in time. Sales staff was pretty good but seemed a bit annoyed or busy perhaps.

well the lumber i went there for was not there or nothing any good but did get some lumber, when walking in the place i got a huge sliver for the 4x4 out front in my foot and oval all not bad

Don’t shop anywhere else. I already saved you the trouble! Darren V.

You guys put together 3 surfaces for us. They are quite useful. Thank you!
