Curtis lumber is awesome I wouldn't go to home Depot or Lowe's they set me up with everything I needed to complete my job in my basement with my well system very knowledgeable and sent me on my way with confidence

February 7, 2025

I ordered over $2,000 worth of sheetrock to be delivered to a job for a contractor l work for. It was being delivered on a Friday for use Monday so I asked them to cover it for any weather over the weekend. They agreed that they would do that. The builder sent me a photo that it was not appropriately covered. When I contacted curtis lumber they refused to send someone out to cover it appropriately but did offer me free plastic wrap or a tarp to pick up in store to do it myself as they agreed it would not hold up to the weather like that. In saying that it shows it could have easily been taken care of upon delivery with a tarp or some poly wrap. After many phone calls I got nowhere. Horrible customer service and put me in a bad spot late on a Friday for something they could have easily fixed.

Nice sized place. Different little warehouses with mostly lumber. They have other building materials but I was just there to deliver a load of lumber. All the employees there were super nice. Even helped me fold one of my tarps. Extra, extra clean men's room. Call them if your in need of lumber or building supplies.

Terrible experience from start to finish. I've been there multiple times but they wasted about an hour of my time for picking up a simple hollow core door. Miscommunication and a big hassle over a small product. I'd recommend anywhere else.

No follow up with customers. We went to Curtis in Ballston Spa twice to inquire about a special order for a pull-down ladder. After two visits, and being assured we would be contacted, we NEVER received any follow up of any kind. It's so insulting to be lied to and ignored. WHY? I think it's important to support local businesses and I would advise you to support people who want to support you.

Using our most recent curtis designer to redo our bathroom has been terrible. We started with one specialist who was really good. They quickly changed to another lady who they said was one of the best. Not the truth at all. After the first mishap of her design with tile and speaking with many other contractors and some designers she laid the direction the wrong way in the design so when our contractor followed her plans he had to take it apart because it looked like garbage she then tried taking no responsibility saying it's open to interpretation. We also the entire time kept telling her we didn't want expensive so then when she said each box of tile of 11 pieces was over 400 dollars that she didn't even mention when she just had us walk the showroom with no prices, didn't mention that was such an expensive tile. She also miscalculated the number of basic white tile we needed and wanted to charge us a shipping charge of 75 dollars just to ship that one box. We had to get the supervisor involved just to make the situation right. Even now we still do not have all the pieces to the cabinets we ordered. This will definitely be the last time we use this designer and because of her lack of owning up to her mistakes and trying to make things right without us having to contact a supervisor will let people know before dealing with her.

6/23/24 - I relocated back home over a year ago and after calling to ensure we did not have to make an appointment, we made the 2 hour drive with our new office/garage plans. Our intent was to sit down with a project resource and order windows, doors and siding. After arriving we were guided to the appropriate area where a project resource kind of greeted us and pointed at a table where we began to roll out our plans and attempted to tell him what we were needing. The CL employee wasnt even listening, nor did he sit down. He kept talking over us saying we needed a window detail sheet with exact measurements. I showed him the measurements were on the plans but again, he was basically walking away at that point. I also tried to redirect to siding and doors but he was very rude and dismissive. We were able to get an appointment with ABC Supply in Queensbury who are tremendously helpful and kind and appreciate the $50k in materials needed for our building.

July 9, 2024

Went in to get pricing for a deck we want to build. Waited for 40 minutes for anyone to approach us. Even with several associates right there and another associate continually talking with an older lady about personal stuff and nothing to do with decks. Then when someone finally talked with us it seemed like we were a major inconvenience and they were all about having an appointment which we didnt realize we had to have an appointment just to talk to someone about pricing out the materials for the deck. We were basically shown the door. I think I will be taking my business elsewhere and not setting foot back in a Curtis Lumber.

Due to an encounter with a very rude employee named Justin I will never be back. Hes a real tough guy with senior citizens and probably shouldnt have a customer facing job. My father asked him if he could point him in the direction of something in the store and Justin got very aggressive in letting my father know that he was busy. The employee continued to yuck it up with his pals and ridicule my father as he walked away. We did eventually get help from a very nice employee but I cant give my business to a place that allows employees like Justin to disrespect customers like that. I did speak to a manager about the situation but Im sure nothing will be done about it. I wasnt offered a follow up conversation. I cant tolerate such disrespect towards the elderly.

I had to call and place a pretty small order for some plywood and a couple of other things. Im not experienced with construction / home improvement projects and could only share what someone had suggested I needed. Even though my order was pretty small, from start to finish, everyone I spoke to was friendly, helpful, knowledgeable, pointed me in the right direction and gave good advice. And then, they called me back to say that everything I needed was in stock at a closer store, and I had my delivery within 3 hours of placing the order. Completely satisfied with the entire experience.

Brought in a lower sash Andersen window for replacement. The person working the project center first told me it was not an Andersen window. I directed them to the glass etching that said Andersen. He then told me that is just the glass size/date (which is true) and said I would need the model/part number from the window sash sticker. I went home to look for this sticker and my windows had none. Through about 10 seconds of googleing, I quickly found out that Andersen started placing those stickers on their windows in 2007. The glass on my window clearly stated 3-86 (March 1986). I took some quick dimensions of the glass and called Andersen directly. They gave me a part number and I had 2 replacement lower sashes on order in 5 mins. I was ready to spend more money for good customer service at Curtis, but they couldnt figure out how to take my money. Conclusion. If you know nothing about windows but can use the internet, you know more than the Curtis project center about a brand that they rep.

It was time to upgrade our master acrylic shower insert and laundry room. We chose Curtis Lumber based on good recommendations. Working with the designer was excellent. Her follow-up skills regarding our order were on point. Delivery was on time and placed neatly in our garage. We hired a Curtis vetted contractor from their list. All went well up until tile was installed. Crooked tile placement, numerous sized grout lines, incorrect tile placement, grab bars attached with one screw on each side inside of 3 required, missing grout/caulk. The tile around drain was not placed correctly and actually pinches your feet. These are to name a few of the problems. Two members from Curtis management came to inspect this job and agreed with us. We hired a tile professional to clean up the job, which should have been done. Unfortunately, due to the careless workmanship and to achieve the shower we desired, it will require yet other complete redo. Since the vetted contractor is not an employee of Curtis, this is not a Curtis installation. As a result, they have no responsibility for the contractor, which was much to our detriment. We are now beginning this process again, but not with Curtis Lumber.

Its pricey but when you want to move on a project its the place to go. My contractor gave me a list of things he needed for my screened-in porch project. A variety of pressure treated lumber, composite, even some trex. I tried for 3 hours to put this $2,000 order order together at the local box construction store. The 2x10s had to come from one place the 2x4s had to come for another place the 4x4s had to come from a third store but then finally they found one store where I could get everything but then they told me that they couldnt deliver these items I would have to go pick them up. Were talking 16 ft boards how am I going to get those into my Honda Accord. As the orders were put together and then reassembled at different places about a dozen charges appeared on my credit card and then disappeared as credits were given when the orders were canceled. It was getting to be a gigantic mess. And at the end of the day I still would have had to rent a truck and go pick the stuff up and carry it here myself. So I canceled everything at the box store. Every last single thing. I took the order fresh to Curtis and made a 5-minute phone call. The cost was about $200 more. Due to the size of the order there was no delivery charge. I did not have to rent a truck, I did not have to go get it myself, I did not have to assemble an order across four different stores. And then theres the part where they know what theyre doing. The staff have the expertise to help you figure out your order and get it right. One guy in the deck section spent 2 hours putting together the trex order for my outside deck, a separate project I have recently completed. At the box store I could just get a kid to come show me the samples and what they had in stock. They never even explained the different grades of Trex. Anyhow if you are ever wondering how these stores survive in competition with the big box stores I think the answer is quality of the product, expertise of the staff, taking time to help customers, and making it all work in a timely manner. For some of us the agro of bumbling around a big box store and guessing what to buy just isnt worth it.

Curtis Lumber has always been a big disappointment. They cater to the contractor. You go and ask a question, and they expect that you know all of the contractor lingo. They get annoyed if you are not an expert on construction details. We ordered a vanity which was supposed to be delivered in the morning, and my wife waited all morning and they never showed up. They had her cell. No phone call, no update. Curtis is over rated. I have found that the big box stored are much more accommodating and provide better service.

We purchased a new kitchen from Curtis 3 years ago. They were great during the sale, coming to our home, offering design advice and recommendations. We purchased high end cabinets and they looked beautiful for 6 months until the finish started to peal off. Now 18 months later of feet dragging, they arent responding. Dont buy from Curtis unless you have an attorney on retainer.

I specifically asked if I could have a full glass storm window in the winter in front of my my vinyl front door. I was told by a neighbor that this should not be done. The representative at Curtis told me the door was made for storm windows. Then he proceeded to order me a fixed window door... no screen. Curtis was nice enough to admit their screw up gave me a new door however, I had to pay the my contractor again for the second installation. Not cheap! Even when we reordered for the proper storm door the representative insisted that a storm window was perfectly ok. When winter came the new window portion of the door would not fit in properly neither Anderson nor Curtis would come out to take a look. NOTE, Im writing this after a failed attempted to install heat reducing film so i am a bit frustrated. I live in fear of my vinyl door catching fire from the heat so I have to reinstalled the screen door, OR, wake up in the morning to open my beautiful vinyl door so it will not melt or distort. . I guess the moral of the story is not to trust those trained professionals behind the desk at the Ballston Spa by Curtis Lumber. If you do...get signed statements notarized by God!! LOL I just cannot believe that I am in this position.

Great selection of hardwoods and exotic woods. Prices range and some prices are decent and other things are overpriced. They have a small selection of exotic turning blanks, but they are overpriced. They also have a great selection of pine and construction lumber. They also have a small hardware store inside with hardware, paints, brushes, finished, etc. Parking is not hard to find and the staff are friendly.

We tried for the second time to give our business to Curtis Lumber. Few years ago we tried to do our bathroom with them, the lack of response was depressing. We though it was due to the pandemic, and now we just tied again to do our kitchen. We sent all the homework back within 2 days we received the paperwork with professional pictures, and the waiting time to ONLY meet the designer for the first consultation was TOO long. We met several designers in the meantime, and hired one of them. We just cancelled our meeting for the 1st consultation, we were scared of the rest of the process, if the first appointment took that long. I believe they dont need business for kitchen and bathroom, unless you are a builder.

Expensive. Bought a wood splitting Maul. Only had two in stock, went with the heavier one. Cashier was friendly. They do have good closeout deals on things once in a while. Worth checking.

Thought I go get breakfast at a restaurant in the same parking lot and get some supplies for my home renovation project. However the restaurant owners were on vacation leaving me with a 15 minute waiting time before Curtis lumber opened at 7am. Curtis lumber has been in existence for over 100 years and is headquartered in Ballston Spa near where I live. They have over 23 locations in upstate NY. They carriy a selection of plywood, treated lumber, dimension lumber, hardwood and engineered lumber. To make things simpler its just a lowes or home depot that is locally owned and smaller in size. Buy and shop local

Overpriced, and didnt complete the order. They also broke one of the cabinets and took forever replacing it. Customer service was also poor, there representative refused to return calls. Would not recommend.

Curtis Lumber Ballston Spa staff where extremely personable and helpful during our new home construction. We can not say enough good things about our interaction with the kitchen and bath design team. They are top notch. They offer an wide selection of products are very knowledgeable about the products that they carry. Here is the key - if they dont know they say so, but will then research your question, and provide a prompt reply. This is what sets them apart from their competitors. Check them out- you cant go wrong here.

We worked with Paige Songer as our designer. She was great! Easy to work with and when we had a change in plans she was very accommodating. She designed our kitchen just the way we wanted. We got our cabinets, hardware and flooring from Curtis and love them!

We worked with Paige Songer on a remodel for our small kitchen. We could not be happier with her assistance and the finished project, much more storage and counter space! Just worked with her on designs for 2 bathroom remodels and look forward to starting soon. Lisa and Chuck Hodgson

Had to pick up a few supplies for a building project today. Ordered online the day before, and was able to drive through the lumber yard for curbside pickup. Everyone was organized, courteous and polite. Very well done Curtis! Thanks for making the health of your customers and employees a priority.

I bought $800. worth of lumber from the to build a deck. The contractor showed up and said he couldnt start because Curtis sent untreated lumber instead of decking. I went to Curtis and they said they would replace it right away.No replacement delivery. Had to pay $280 for 4 hrs show up to contractor to sit on his bitt waiting Cant depend on Curtis. No body does their job. So irritating

If you want/need exotic woods...this is your place!!!!!! Wow! I could spend my entire salary there and walk out with a smile! P.s. the staff is super helpful, attentive and pleasant. They even laugh at your horrible jokes to make you feel better about yourself. So, wood and therapy in one stop. Thats what I call a good experience.

Saw ad for Richmondville store grand opening and thought I would support local business so I drove there.

I called Munson lumber and got all the help needed and placed my order. Nice new Curtis location - very poor customer service/relations.

Don t go here if you want personal one on one service. My wife and I went in to pick out 2 new bathroom vanity tops. We tried to get 2 different sales people to help us and both were turned off the minute we told them it was only 2 vanity tops. Both said the job was so small that their contractors probably wouldn t take it. They told us to make an appointment with a designer during the middle of the week when they weren t so busy. Ummmmm ok I work during the week too. They took our number down and said they would have a designer contact us when they are free and to set up an appointment. Well no phone call!! While we wondered around for a few more minutes we watched both sales people grab a note pad and assist other customers who I m assuming had a much bigger project than we did. Less than impressed. I watch the TV everyday and see all the prominent builders in the area tout how great Curtis is..... I guess they are great when you spend a ton of money with them but 2 stone vanity tops are below them.

We visited yesterday and spoke with TORY, who was TOPS! We were discussing new countertops. She was extremely professional in all respects; warm and friendly, allowing us to ask numerous questions. We left after 45 minutes very pleased and will most like return once decisions are made. Thank you! This came after a visit from Solid Surfaces In Glenville, where we purchased a counter about 15 years ago. The visit lasted 5 minutes, the rudeness and unprofessionalism was that bad. They questioned every question we had and spoke to us in the most demeaning manner. This salesperson obviously failed Sales Professionalism 101.

Nicole Stack in the Cabinet Department went above and beyond to help me when I damaged a cabinet door. She provided excellent service, helped me identify the correct door when I didnt know, and helped me order the replacement.

Ballston Spa branch of Curtis Lumber has been nothing less than a horrible experience, not only for our drywall company but for our client as well, whom is always our primary concern. From being lied to and strung along for hours, given three different times on delivery arrival, to the materials being dumped on our clients driveway in the rain, without concern or help, leaving it to the homeowner himself to scramble the huge amount of materials to shelter. This is unacceptable behavior and a perfect example of poor work ethics. Never again will we ever use this company for any of our business in the future.
