Awesome place for various renovations or repairs, etc. wood is FAR superior than say Home Depot or Lowes!!! Biggest thing though, was the customer service! The people that work here are actually knowledgeable about what they’re doing, and helpful/eager to assist you! Will be coming here from now on!Special thanks to Nathaniel, he was very professional, kind, and helpful!
Lenco handles a large majority of the materials for our projects. It’s always a pleasure dealing with the staff over there. And most important if their ever is any issues, the problem is resolved in a professional and timely manner. It’s construction, so we know things don’t always go as planned. So having a fellow company to problem solve with us is crucial. Nathaniel at the transit store randomly stops at our builds to make sure everything is going good and to make sure we don’t need anything. Now that’s a business I like working with!!!!!
I buy ALL of my materials for my company from Kevin and the guys over at Lenco Williamsville. Why? Cost. Quality. Service. Yea, sometimes I hit up whatever’s close for convenience, but 99% of my materials are sourced here. We know each other by name. They know their stuff. And they even load and unload our trucks/trailers! Not to mention deliveries are affordable for larger orders. I’d give them 6 stars if that was possible.
I ended up at LEN-CO as my Plan B when my original choice had the products I needed, but, due to equipment issues, could not rip the melamine sheets to the dimensions I required. Got to the LEN-CO Lumber next to the Eastern Hills Mall on a Saturday morning and they had what I needed PLUS the staff was cheerful and helpful. The sheets were ripped to my dimensions AND they helped load my van. They are now my Plan A go-to for lumber products.
Nathaniel at Len Co Lumber on Sheridan helped me out with his expert knowledge of composite sailing systems. He helped me get the correct number of kits, extra brackets, etc. and saved me multiple trips as I had overlooked a few things. So friendly and helpful! I highly recommend Len Co in Williamsville. Great price on materials and willing to take the time to help you do the job right the first time.
We had the best experience at Lenco & I would recommend them highly. Nate was so incredibly helpful & gave us all the information we needed. He truly cares about his customers & Lenco is like a one stop shop for everything you would need for all your home buying needs & the guys are so knowledgeable which makes it really easy. Never going to Home Depot or Lowes again. Lenco is my only place to go!
Never again. Delivery driver completely screwed me over wasting an entire day when I could have been framing. If youre thinking about giving them a shot, dont. Youll regret it.Update: Yes; delivery was on time but the driver refused to drop the materials where I wanted them causing me to waste four hours moving everything 175 feet around back to where they were needed -- despite my assurances that my 18,000lb backhoe loader doesnt get stuck and Id had dump trucks with 22t of crushed stone in the same location without issue -- just got impatient while I came up with an alternative location that wouldnt be in the way of the UFP delivery coming a few hours later. UFP, by the way, dropped my trusses exactly where requested without a second thought. Attached are photos of my backhoe and the UFP semi driving where your driver refused to go -- no ruts -- just some matted down grass. Lowes always drops where I tell them to too and they have the exact same equipment as you.
I’ve worked at Lenco lumber for going on a year and a half now, this store on Sheridan,dr is an amazing place to work at and even better to shop at! I’ve only seen nothing but good prices, quality materials and even better service. Throughout the whole pandemic I can personally attest to our prices beating out our competition on most products. It’s very rare for me to get complaints or negative feedback on our store, we really do try our best to give you the service you deserve. I as a worker highly recommend you stop by and see for yourself.
Lie about not being able to cut wood and tell you to come back with a saw even if youre willing to pay for cuts at this location. Terrible customer service at the other location too, Sold me dinged up 70$+ a sheet plywood, didnt want to go lower in the pile to give me some that didnt have so many defects at the Seneca Street location and employee was ranting about Biden and the Vaccine loudly and her civil rights or some nonsense. Not the place I loved grew up loving for lumber anymore. Sticking with 84/the depot.
Just want say Thank You to Nathaniel Manns for his polite assistance and helpfulness. His knowledge base and attention to my project concerns was concise and efficient, particularly when it became necessary to change course and rethink some aspects of this project. And Lenco Lumber, of course, cannot be beat. Also, a shout out to Kevin for his pleasant and professional oversight.
As a contractor, I want to provide my customers with the best. As a customer shopping for those supplies for those projects, I want to be treated in the same fashion. Kevin and his Team do a fantastic job. Their knowledge and desire to make the project go smoothly is truly excellent. Nathaniel has become a pleasure to deal with and is incredibly accommodating. Thank you, Lenco!
The customer service provided by Kevin at the Sheridan location is beyond excellent. I had a potential issue with an order, and Kevin worked with me to resolve the issue and went above and beyond to get me what I needed. The delivery was made by Bryan from the Sheridan location and he was just as excellent and focused on customer satisfaction. I would definitely recommend doing business with Kevin and his Len-Co location!
This was my first experience with Len-Co and I wholeheartedly recommend them! Their quality products are competitively priced, but even more important to me was the over-the-top incredible customer service! I first called with questions about my project and options for materials, and Bryan spent a lot of time with me over the phone, answering my multitude of questions and explaining the pros and cons of my various choices. The vast majority of the time under these circumstances, I feel like Im being a nuisance, but Bryan didnt make me feel rushed at all. Later in the day, we went in to take a look at the materials and he showed us a variety of products and again, gave us as much time as we needed in order to make a decision. The entire experience start to finish was an absolute pleasure!
We worked with Karen to help design our new kitchen and she was amazing! So patient and kind. Offered great suggestions and recommendations. We truly felt that her main concern was that we ended up with our dream kitchen and we did thanks to her. We would highly recommend her to anyone looking to renovate their kitchen!
I worked with Karen at Lenco Lumber.She was wonderful, professional and knowledgeable!I purchased Wolf Signature cabinets, a granite counter top, and a granite sink.All of which are of exceptional quality and were reasonably priced.Everything arrived on schedule and in pristine shape.The gentleman who installed my countertops and sink were on time, friendly and professional.Highly recommended!.
Most Favorite LEN-CO. Visited early Saturday morning, the staff despite the time was very welcoming. Bryan (super nice, knowledgeable, very helpful, friendly Big Guy:) was quick to help and see where he could offer his expertise. Highly recommend and love this store. Store was extremely well organized and taken care of very well.
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.
These folks are top knotch. I avoid Lowes and Home Depot every chance I can and come to Len-Co (Sheridan).Great stock in house. Willing to special order if needed. VERY helpful and courteous sales team members. They are fully committed to a pleasurable customer experience. I also find them to be well versed in just about every project I run into.Will be using them again next week to fill my supply list for a shed I am building.Please keep up the good work !!!!!
Each time I go to Len-Co (Williamsville) I am greeted by nice, friendly and helpful people, who make the Len-Co have a really nice warm and welcoming vibe. This weekend Bryan T was working and he was so very helpful, going way above and beyond to help us out and we wanted to say thank you!I would 1000% recommend going here and we are very appreciative of Bryan T and his help as well as all the guys who work at Len-Co for just being super nice guys...
I discovered that Len-Co Lumber is less expensive than Home Depot for the products we purchased. We are in the middle of remodeling due to fixing a flat roof. We are on our third dumpster as this house renovation is like peeling an onion, so on a day-to-day basis, we have been needing new wood materials in all kinds of sizes. We also are installing 11 new windows. It was impossible to have 1 complete list of what products were needed as the design changed daily. BRYAN from Len-Co has been and still continues to be instrumental in helping us. I call Bryan and he delivers anything we need in a matter of hours. Thank you Bryan and Len-Co for providing such wonderful customer service, excellent quality products, and competitive pricing. Without Bryan, we would not be as far along as we are. Bryan has saved us so much time with delivery and he with his personal touch, we can call and talk directly with someone who knows us and cares. Thank you!!!!!
Awesome place to get all kinds of wood for projects! I was building a large floor-sitting table and found some high quality oak plywood and solid oak strips for the sides here. Dwayne was super helpful in showing me the different options they carried - their selection is huge.They only do cross cuts on wood you purchase (not rip cuts), so unfortunately the plywood sheet would not fit in my crossover. Bryan came to my rescue and put the sheet in his pickup and followed me home - what a lifesaver!
I just had a very pleasing experience at the Williamsville Lenco store. The helpers there gave me a hand selecting my materials and helped me load my truck and when I returned to get credit for the materials I did not use, they helped unload my truck too! The prices are excellent and the staff is friendly and helpful. Based on my recent business with Lenco, their low prices, and the excellent service, I recommend them highly. Thank you Lenco. I will be a return customer.
Lenco has been by far the best place to buy building materials and has amazing customer service. Hom* De*ot and Low*s just don’t compare! Just had another great experience buying a bunch of windows and doors a few weeks ago. Tim was extremely patient as we went through many options and talked us through the entire process. If you need help buying windows and doors, Tim is your guy. Thanks again!
We had an amazing experience recently working with the staff of Len-Co Lumber - Williamsville with my sons Eagle Scout project. The staff was knowledgeable and patient with the amount of supplies and assistance needed with measurements and pulling the order, all the way to loading it in our vehicles. At the end of the project, they even happily accepted the return of overage of any unused materials. I would highly recommend Len-Co Lumber because of their personalized service, understanding of products and ease of purchase and returns.
The absolute worst customer service and delivery service time that I have ever dealt with. After weeks and weeks of lies telling us that our order would be in each week and after promising to special deliver to our house because of their failure to deliver when promised, we finally got the remainder of our order 8 WEEKS later. Unacceptable - when the promised delivery time was 2 weeks ! We never received a phone call from our sales rep (BC) telling us of any delays. We had to either call or stop at the store to find out the status. A project that we hoped to have finished early summer now wont be completed until early fall.
While I was out on the East Coast a couple weeks ago helping my Mom with a backyard shed project, I shopped at Len-Co Williamsville for all the related materials. I was very pleased with the prices and very happy with the assistance of your employee, Zack Burtis. He assisted in finding what I needed in your store and with loading the materials into my truck! I will return again on my mothers next project.
My husband and I were referred to Len-Co Lumber by a friend when we decided to update our 2 bathrooms. We were introduced to Karen Begovich who helped us understand the ordering process. She handles custom cabinetry, countertops, and flooring. The selection is amazing! We needed to choose bathroom countertops and flooring. Karen went the extra mile to visit a 3rd party supplier on our behalf to make sure our orders went smoothly. World class customer service! Thank you Karen!!
Forgot the Home Depot and Lowes. Lenco has them beat with pricing and service. Every time I go to the Sheridan Drive store, there is somebody there at the front door to assist me. We are building a new house and we shopped for 19 windows. The closest somebody came to Lencos pricing was $2,000 higher!!!!!!. And we hit every window supplier at the Buffalo Home Show. Tim VanCuran is the man for quality Anderson windows at the best prices in town. Eric Oswald
Im sorry about Ron S. Ive bought enough material from Len-Co Lumber over the last five years to build ONE THOUSAND of Rons decks and have NEVER had a bad experience. Len-Co is my preferred supplier for all my construction materials and will continue to be. Every order is handled profressionally and efficiently and my material arrives as quickly as I need it. Keep up the good work guys!
I went to Len Co to purchase lumber for my deck, after talking with the Manager who was my salesperson, I felt as if I was dealing with an honest company who would try and take care of their customers. Nothing is further from the truth!!! The Manager told me the deck boards would be picked out by people with plenty of know how when it comes to picking out lumber, he said that if I were unhappy with the lumber there would be no issue with exchanging the boards I was unhappy with. The delivery was slated for the same day which was the only thing I was happy with. The driver unloaded the boards and set them in the driveway, there was a metal band holding the boards to the pallet which he was unable to cut, I had to slide the boards out from under the band and stack them in my garage. The next week I satrted laying deck boards and while picking through the lumber I started noticing there was more bad lumber than good. Out of 80 Premium deck baords I had to return 43, that is more than 50 percent return. I called my salesman who mind you is also the manager, he informed me that I would have to go to the Buffalo location and pick out new wood, pay for it again, they would then deliver it and pick up the old wood, take it back to their store and then credit me for the return.I have to say this was not the policy that was explained to me when I bought the lumber. I reluctantly went to the Buffalo location purchased the wood and went out into the yard to pick out the lumber, The 16 boards I picked out of a new pile and that was easy, when I went to pick out the 12 boards the warehouse manager would not cut the bands on a new bundle and told me to leave, he said he did not have the wood I was interested in and went on to say that one of the 12 boards in the old pile that had a quarter sized knot hole through the board would be good for my deck. I stuck my finger through it and said seriously, he said yes. The gentleman in the store, Joe seemed to have a problem with how I was being treated but was overruled by another gentleman. I was told that they would come and pick up the old lumber that I had and refund my money. The driver showed up with a fifteen ninute notice and I helped him load the wood. Two hours after the driver left I called the Manager, Tom, and asked how much was credited to my account, he stated that the account was being handled at the Buffalo facility and then hung up the phone on me. I then called the Buffalo location and they did not care that Tom hung up on me and said I would receive a refund in 3 to 5 bus. days. THEIR IDEA OF CUSTOMER SERVICE IS TERRIBLE, i TOOK MY BUSINESS TO HOME DEPOT AND WAS TREATED GREAT THERE. I also managed to save 200 dollars. DO NOT GO TO LEN CO THEY ARE TERRIBLE
New to working with wood, called and talked to someone who, when I told him what I was looking for, the first thing I heard was Good Luck. Then, couldnt get a ball park price for what I was looking for. Seemed as if any of my business to this store could stay or leave. So, I wont be going there.
As a purchasing agent for a local commercial construction Co. for 28 yrs., we use Lenco as an absolute last resort for materials. My many experiences with their Seneca St. & Sheridan Dr. locations were very disappointing in terms of customer service. Sales staff are hit or miss if you can find one to take the time to discuss purchases with.More than once we had special order products deliberately damaged by rude and careless yard employees while loading or handling the products.All these items make Lenco our last in line product vendor.D.

2022-07-23Nathaniel and the guys were amazing. From our initial interaction all the way through all the help with loading and securing the load. Buy local whenever you can and we cant recommend Len-Co enough. Super friendly, extremely helpful and knowledgeable.

2022-06-19Went to pay for a custom order on patio doors and windows. Started talking about the difficultly in finding a transparent black stain for my fence project. Not only did Rob walk me around the store and show me different products also called me back 1 minute after I left the store to come back as for he had a sample of the stain. Rob was professional, patient, considerate, respectful. Needless to say, they will get my business before the rest. I love the way my fence is turning out. Thanks Rob!!!

2021-09-25They were very helpful with designing and ordering the correct material. I had very little left over and did not run out of any material while building the deck and railing system. It turned out great and I get compliments from people walking by.
