I received my closet doors with some markings and a few minor cracks. Nothing that I couldnt fix with wood filler since Im painting them. I was really happy with how quickly they responded and their resolution though. Accidents happen and they handled it right.UPDATE: To get 5 stars from me in the future, I think its only fair you refund my shipping for this current order. And I do believe any future orders will be inspected more closely. Thank you for asking.
I have bought many lumber items from Len-Co over the years. Always gotten good value in the.lumber products. And they cut to size for my.project needs. Since Im. Mildly handicapped very help service. They answer my questions and have very good customer service. They are my go to lumber for the special lumber products I need.
First time there, wasnt really sure what I was doing because its different than any lumber yard Ive been too (to be fair thats not very many so their way could be the norm) staff was friendly and happy to explain it to me and they had the weird sized plywood I wanted, two guys put it on my car for me too. Great experience
Large assortment of products. Always great prices. Steph is super helpful and friendly. Prices rival all the big box stores. Convenient pick up options where they will actually load materials for you. They also take the time to give you advice helpful techniques and other things even if it relates to how to make jobs easier.
You cant even take the cart to your car let alone get a personal shopping cart in or out. I cant stand going there. Only time I go is if I need something ethnic that I cant find after at least 2 days of searching. Unclean store this is unexseptale treat our diverse community better than that!
In starting I would like to respond to the poor post below. As a construction professional I work with Len-Co lumber and their store manager fairly closely. I have never had anything more than a positive experience. For many years our company used a different lumber source, however we have made the change to go with Len-Co for several reasons. 1. The helpfulness of their staff is beyond reproach. When you call the store you will always speak with a knowledgeable sales person who will point you in the right direction. 2. Their in stock options are also of the highest quality. The amount of their products they keep regularly stocked is much higher than other suppliers. And the items they do not keep stocked always arrive in a timely fashion. 3. If I need pricing on anything, from lumber all the way to PVC decking I will receive it in MINUTES, this is key to my business. 4. The manager of the Buffalo location is among the most helpful and accommodating sales people I work with. As a sales manager myself, I can truly appreciate this. I will always recommend Len-Co. I do not agree with this previous poster, and encourage anyone on the fence to use this company for your home improvement needs.
I had an issue with my initial order and posted a poor review on here. Within minutes of posting, I was contacted by my salesmen who explained that he would correct this issue and assure my satisfaction. The issue was corrected within 24 hours. I was contacted by the owner multiple times throughout this process to make sure everything was running smoothly.
This place has the best selection of vinyl siding and roofing materials in the buffalo area hands down. They have cheaper drywall than home depot and Lowes. You walk in pay drive around they load you up. If your gonna buy lumber there and not get out of the truck and look at the boards going in the truck dont complain later. They do have a restocking fee for people that arent carpenters that wanna bring back boards that look like bananas. I have never had an issue with anything I ever bought there. I highly recommend this company over home depot. You wanna shop local and vote with your dollar go to Lenco.
This place is AMAZING and right by my house!! I had no idea you could walk in and just by wood without being a contractor or without having a HUGE order. I just bought all the baseboard trim for my attic floor (over 120 feet for each, the base and the shoe) and it was SO cheap. It was less than half the cost that Home Depot would have been (I priced it!) I was thrilled with their customer service, and then driving through their warehouse section to load it up was other worldly- so organized, so cool to see, and the SMELL of all that fresh cut wood, was incredible. I cant recommend this place enough for all your wood needs.
The staff were even though busy were not helpful at all. To busy talking about people that were making more money than them while on unemployment... I just had a few simple questions because right now my home is under the process of some major improvement projects. The counter person couldnt even answer my questions he just pointed and gave me a 2 line answer. I just left... Later in the afternoon I went to the Sheridan location and ordered my composite flooring and found the siding I want and railing for my home projects
Im strictly a home depot guy just for the sake of convience. It never occurred to me to come to lenco. Anyways, I decided to come in one day to get some ideas about s garage roof that I was doing. As I was looking around confused Jason called over and asked if I needed help. Long story short I just received one of the best services ever. Jason went over everything I needed and then I was loaded up on the yard. Didnt have to touch a thing. Everyone was polite and willing to help. I think I found myself a home.
Jason at counter 6 was a huge help in purchasing storm doors for my house. Talked to him on the phone a few times and then when I went in to the store for the actual purchase. Is knowledgeable and knew his stuff. It’s employees like this that will keep me coming back to a store. I’ve had awful customer service at other big box home improvement stores - won’t mention any names. So I decided to try a smaller local place - Lenco is awesome and much cheaper than Lowe’s or Home Depot.
As always Len-Co delivers; ordered three custom Andersen windows. They beat every competitors prices locally, were at the store from the manufacturer ahead of schedule, and were extremely flexible on delivery and adding some additional install materials to the order.Ive ordered lumber and general building supplies in the past, and the customer service from the salesman I work with (Adam) has been exceptional. Hes a great asset to the store, and Ill be back soon to order more supplies in the future! Thanks again.
This is a great lumber yard, and it ca.e highly recommended to me. If you dont find what you need in the showroom, ask. We were directed out to a portion of the yard to go look at the doors we were looking for specifically. The guys were all super helpful, and before long they were bought and loaded! Thank you!
On or about 6/13/12 I ordered a Bilco size b door light grey power coated door, The order was taken by Stephen P. Coppola, I gave 375.00 $ deposit via credit card. The door was to be ready for pickup in 10 to 14 days at the Kenmore store. Stephen was to mail me a receipt reguarding my order. This I never received. On 7/31/12 I went and picked up the order at the Kenmore store, the item was on a lift truck with the box lid removed, so I could see that the item was the proper color, that is all I was able to view. When I got the door home it remained in my truck until 8/1/12 at that time I noticed that it was the wrong size. It was a c door not what I had ordered. On 8/2/12 I called Len-Co and talked to Stephen Coppola, I explained that he had ordered the wrong door and that we need to exchange it, he told me that it was my problem and he would order me another door but I would have to pay for that one also, I asked him if he would return the door that he miss ordered, and he said so sorry Charlie. I told him that I never received a copy of my order or that I never signed off on the order, he stated that once I picked the order up, the deal is done. He also stated this is your problem and then hung up the phone on me. This a replacement door and I was on the website when I placed the order so I knew exactly the dimensions that I needed. I had the owners manual from the previous door open at the time so I could be sure that I had the correct size.
Jason has been AWESOME to work with. He was the ONLY vendor able to come through for a highly specialized & time sensitive order (and I called all over the country).Needed a sizable order of surfaced large white oak timbers with a very demanding turnaround time. I work for a federal agency and purchasing is a nightmare of hoops to jump through for both parties. Jason worked through all of these obstacles and delivered the timbers EARLY despite lengthy delays by the government eating into the lead time he initially quoted me.HIGHLY recommend Jason & Lenco. His dedication to assisting with the order was tremendous. Lenco will be my first call for future needs.
I have been a customer of Len-Co Lumber for over 5 years. Ive ordered a tremendous amount of material from both their S. Buffalo location as well as their Williamsville location for various commercial redevelopment projects over the years. My experiences with Len-Co Lumber Corporation have always been great and they continue to be. My orders are dealt with professionally and timely and without error. Their process is efficient and detail-oriented to ensure quality and accuracy. I look forward to being a Len-Co Lumber customer for a long time. Keep up the good work guys!
06/24/17I came in this morning as a first time customer looking to purchase a garage door. An associate john promptly asked if i needed any help. He was able to find what i was looking for. After making my purchase john instructed me on where to go for pick up. After getting a bit turned around by the layout of the area, first time at this store mind you i called up the store for directions again. I was put through to john where he more clearly directed me, however just before laying down an insulting line in reference to my inability to follow his given directions. Outside of this i was pleased with my first time experience with len-co lumber on 1445 seneca st.
Last month I had to place an order for roofing, baring in mind I have no clue about roofing materials, except what color I like. Lol My husband was unavailable to do so due to conflicting work schedule. Upon entering the Seneca St. location we were greeted by a very helpful associate. My 21 yr. old son, his gf & I looked over the materials on hand and went to place the order w/our list in hand. The associate had some ?s we were not able to answer, so my son called my husband & the associate was more than willing to speak w/him & clarify what was needed. Customer satisfaction to the max! Order was delivered on date requested & earlier than anticipated....very pleased:)))
Ive been dealing with Lenco for the past 9yrs. All I can say is top notch A++++ service. whether I am purchasing a small item worth $3 or windows for a house, lenco has allways made me feel like I was the only customer in the store. I cant imagine going to another store, no matter what you need they have it or will order it. I have even had Steve call me after hours and say he is still working on my order and will get it to me asap. You dont get that service anywhere else and I love how walking in there still feels like an oldtime lumber yard.PLEASE REMEMBER YOU CALL LENCO YOU GET SERVICE,I COULD CALL HOME DEPOT FOR A LEFT HANDED HAMMER AND THEY WILL LOOK FOR IT CAUSE THEY SIMPLY HAVE NO CLUE
I have had a relationship with Lenco Lumber since 2007. Since that time, Ive purchased well over $1,000,000 in various building supplies. Ive made over 1,000 transactions with Lenco Lumber from tools to wood putty to roofing to lumber and the list goes on.When you purchase the amounts of items that I have, it is a safe bet that Ive encountered pretty much every staff member at Lenco from the Owner Steve Coppolla Sr., the staff in accounts payable/receivable right down to all the guys in the yard. I am extremely confident to say that in every transaction/pickup/order that the staff has always been friendly, professional, knowledgeable and accommodating. Throughout all these transactions, Ive dealt (about 90% of the time) with Steve Jr. and I have no trouble at all testifying that Steve Jr. is one of the most decent, bright, helpful, considerate,empathetic individuals Ive ever met. This man has never ONCE even uttered the word No to me. He is exactly the type of person that you would want to conduct business with. He is one of the most CONSISTENT people that Ive ever met.Look, when you buy as much as I do, not every transaction is perfect. This world is not perfect. What delineates Steve Jr. and the rest of the Lenco family from their competition is their keen ability to problem solve. When Steve made a mistake, he admitted it and made it right. When a manufacturer made a mistake, Steve held the manufacturer accountable and made it right. When I made a mistake, Steve does everything in his power to help me make my own mistake as painless as possible.Lenco Lumber has the most consistent low prices, I never have to worry if a salesman is fleecing me because hes going on vacation next month. Lenco has every product that I could ever want/need available and if it happens to be a product that they do not carry, Steve and the rest of the crew will do everything they can to get it.I swear by Lenco obviously. If I had to describe Lenco Lumber and their staff in one word, that word is Integrity.
Len-Co provides nothing but high quality customer service with low prices. I myself purchased all the materials for my addition, and Len-co was nothing but accommodating. I also happen to be an employee of Len-co and was literally in the middle of the dispute previously mentioned; as in, I stand next to both Managers dealing with this situation. This dispute between Mr. Bilco door and our Sales Dept. went much differently then described above. At Len-Co, we require a review and sign off on EVERY Special order that is placed, especially when a product is specialized as a bilco size b door. Len-co normally stocks c size doors, so this would definitely be a door the would require an attention to detail. Mr. Bilco is correct in the fact that we do not normally take returns on special orders. However, in this case, the customer was offered some of his money back, as well as an opportunity to sell the Bilco door in our store; to recoup as much as his money as possible. Mr. Bilco, not so kindly, refused any offer to help him in this unfortunate incident; and decided the best approach was the Better Business Bureau and a Google Lashing. In my belief Len-Co tried to resolve the issue before it escalated, but Mr. Bilco was resistant to any solution. Len-Co does not have to deal with issues like this often, but when they do arise; Len-co tries to work with the customer to the best of our ability to resolve the issue, so that both parties are satisfied. I would never hesitate to do business with Len-Co. Len-co is a company with Integrity and has been in business for over 50 years.

2022-07-20The 1st time I ever visited the store was during the quarantine and everything was blocked off tough for safety So I couldnt like Go up-and-down the isles and search for what I was looking for. And sometimes its very hard for me to shop because Im very hands on but the employees went out of their way to make sure I got exactly what I needed. I swear it was like they entered my mind and they knew exactly what I needed after I described to them the job that I was doing .it was great and I really appreciated them for that.

2022-05-21Service and pricing are good. However the location and how they load your materials makes it difficult when using a trailer. We also dont like that you cannot pick out your own wood boards. We normally go to the transit road location but they did not have enough of metal roof panels we needed in stock and we were told they would not transfer them from the Seneca st location to transit rd.

2022-07-07Its been years since I was last in, Good new it hasnt changed a bit. Absolutely love the Seneca St. location. The guys are awesome and great at what they do. The product is superior than the big box, customer service leaps and bounds beyond. This review has been brought to you by lot of projects sponsored by lenco lumber.

2022-07-25Got wood fence panels and fence posts delivered because I have a smaller car. Fence panels (both pickets and stringers) are very low quality including several unusable panels. Work got pushed back a couple weeks because of scheduling problems and Lenco wouldn’t exchange or refund the unusable sections. Now I have almost $500 of unusable fence sections. This has been a disappointing experience and I’m surprised with the lack of integrity from a business that otherwise has a good reputation locally.
