Friendly to DIYers!
After being condescended to by PARR, I reached out to Brown and was delighted! Daniel answered my quote request within a day, offered information without being rude (imagine!), and even set aside the best boards just in case I decided to place the order -- which won my business!
Delivery was also fast -- within 2 days -- and Ben was friendly and communicative about timing. (Note re: delivery -- don't be deterred by their fees. Even with the fuel surcharge, my quote was the same across 3 local lumber yards.)
Really glad I found these guys! Relationships make or break it for me, so they've got a loyal customer and advocate now.

I have been shopping at Brown for personal and business for 20 years. I’ll always go there first if I can.The staff know their inventory intimately and can help advise with nearly any lumber-oriented project or application. If they don’t stick it, they can usually get it in a couple days. They do custom cuts too if you don’t have a saw at home! They deliver as well. Love Brown Lumber!

Employees are all very smart and handsome, Brown lumber is Disneyland for wood.-Definitely not a Brown Lumber employee.

Not only did they have everything I needed, the staff walked me through the store step-by-step to make sure I got the products I needed. I asked for things by name that I use on the other side of the country and they were able to supply everything. They cut my lumber to accurate measurements because I didn’t have a saw at my brothers house. You don’t get service like this anymore. Even if they don’t have what the big box stores have, they’ll order it. Support local.

Seems to be a nice place of business. Never shoped there. I deliver Quikrete products.

These folks were amazing. They delivered the lumber I needed to my door. The driver was super friendly and I cannot recommend these folks enough.

Great small neighborhood lumber yard with awesome customer service. They carry some very nice quality pine from GORMAN LUMBER in British Columbia and I use it for my projects. Support the local businesses!

Brown lumber is one of my favorite places to go in Portland. The staff is friendly and funny. The lumber is high quality. They are a good go-to for contractors as well as diy'ers. They've offered great advice when i ask, and always move quickly with orders. They even have a metal drummer on staff. You know. For fun.

Employees are nice. The owner however likes to be very rude and shame you for not being a contractor and having the gall to actually ask for boards to be cut to size, which they supposedly offer as a free service. I like to support non corporate, but not corporate does not necessarily mean the owners are any better grade people.

Elitist credit/debit only without entry into the business to get what you need in an industry that is, quite literally, hands on...it was suggested I go across the street and get a gift card from Safeway. Nah, instead I just went to Ankeny Hardware on Stark where I'm never treated like s*** and they gladly accept whatever form of payment I have, whether cash OR card.

Great service and selection, fair prices. A locally-owned gem. Much more appealing than a visit to Home Depot. The only downside is that their hours are limited.

I lived down the street from Brown Lumber for two years, and I can not rate them positively enough! Excellent customer service, fair prices, and a handy selection of tools for DIY projects. Plus the sign out front that tallies the number of times people have backed up into the pole is a hilarious addition. Would recommend visiting here for all your home improvement needs :)
