50 Madison St, Maywood“Great local building material company to do business with! Guys behind the counter are professional and provide insight as a DIYer. I wish they were open longer but regardless I do my best to get my building materials (brick, gravel, sand, etc) from them as much as I can.”
“Such a community gem. I’ve loved the different workshops I’ve attended. I appreciate being able to buy materials from the warehouse - which provides affordable materials and keeps them out of the landfills. Their job force training has been life changing for my son and others.”
“Super fast unloading , make sure you have the building with the docs on your left when you get here because they're a bit tight if there is already a truck at the dock .”

“I am pleased to share my positive experience working with Richards Building Supply as our primary material supplier. As a contractor, I have had the opportunity to work with numerous suppliers, and I must say that the experience with Richards has been outstanding. The reliability of their supply chain has been great, contributing significantly to the efficiency of our construction sites and enabling us to meet project deadlines consistently. The customer service provided by the team of the branch deserves commendation. The staff is knowledgeable, friendly, always ready to assist and go out of their way to help. I highly recommend them!”
“I got what i needed, i see how people may be concerned with customer service. They may not be the most approachable bunch, but at least they know their job. Delivery service charge was on a higher end but still better than doing multiple runs.”

1360 N Ashland Ave, Chicago“we went for minor home repair items and greeted at door, asked twice in aisles if needed assistance. One sales associate left his area and walked three aisles down to not only direct us to our sought item then advised on the best product from the variety. Great store!”
“This update is based on my experience buying wood trim for a project: they have a great selection, and unlike my experience at Lowe's in Lincolnwood, their website is actually accurate and tells you which aisle/bin the item is in (see my Lowe's review for that cluster of a mess). I found what I needed, and they have a sawhorse set up so you can cut trim yourself -- I was surprised that they even had a miter box, as I thought that wasn't something they offered to avoid having people doing their full project cutting in the store. I needed to miter the pieces for my project, but I didn't know the exact measurements and had never used a miter box before, so I didn't want to embarrass myself trying to figure it out at 7am on Christmas Eve in the middle of a Home Depot. So instead I just cut the trim to the approximate sizes I needed with some wiggle room to measure it exactly later, and managed to figure out how to use a miter box at home after watching a Youtube tutorial. So, yay for that. Also after my adventures in elementary woodworking (lol), I needed wood filler/putty because the miter saw I was using was like 20 years old and not the most precise. Their website said they didn't carry the kind/stain shade I was looking for, but when I got there the day after Christmas, they did indeed have it. So, that was perfect. And now I have an awesome, handbuilt coffee table. About 5 years ago I also needed a random 1x4 (or maybe 1x6?) for a single shelf to fill the gap between my fridge and my wall, and one of their staff members used the power saw setup to cut that for me. That was also an easy peasy process. For my future random wood project needs, I'll definitely come here rather than Lowe's.”

1000 Willow Rd, Northbrook“My experience at Lowe's on Willow was superb. I needed the manager and after being paged did not show. The customer service gentleman, Matt went running around the store and escorted him to me to make sure I was taken care of. Thanks Matt!”
“Really cool place to find old stuff. I'm not sure how to lable the "stuff". Old trim, windows, sinks, on and on. If you're looking to renew an old house with a door handle that isn't made anymore, they might have it. A great way to keep an old home looking vintage. We didn't find what we were looking for but that doean't mean you won't and it doesn't mean they won't have it the next time you look. It was really cool to see what they have.”
