Lumber Boys is great for a basic father/son hardware store, but they're EXCELLENT if you're looking for cut wood for your closet, cabinet, molding, or any other project! I find myself here frequently, not only to avoid an overwhelming trip to Home Depot, but because Steve and his son Rob are great guys who really know their stuff. Prices are competitive too - redoing my linen closet, I recently walked out with six 3/4" birch plywood shelves cut to spec, 3/4" quarter-round cleats, and some nice lattice moldings for under $70. Plenty of contractors come here as well, but despite my relatively small order, Steve patiently walked me through all the measurements and gave his thoughts and advice along the way. Steve may come off a bit abrasive at first, but give him a chance and I'm sure you'll warm up to him too. I highly recommend Lumber Boys for your next project, big or small...as long as there's some wood involved, they're the best game in town!

Needed to get flat aluminum bar cut. The few Home Depots I visited wouldn't do it and after searching around, I found Lumber Boys who said they could do it. They botched the job (bent the aluminum, cut it crooked, and even LOST one of the pieces!) and then had the nerve to charge me for it! I had to go buy more aluminum bar to finish my project. It was a waste of time and money (I guess the price for learning never to come back here again?). Fortunately I found Nuthouse just nine blocks away who did the work both quickly, professionally, and cleanly!

I shlepped all the way down here with my granny cart. Got here at 5:20 and it’s closed. They’re supposed to close at 6:00. I spoke with someone a couple of days earlier and said they’d be closing at 4:30 that day. I told him I’d be coming by Thursday (today) or Friday. I’m here and they’re closed. Not once did the guy tell me that they close at 4:30 EVERY DAY. I’m very upset right now. “Don’t worry, we’ll be here” the guy assured me.

Absolutely THE BEST store in NYC! I needed cut piece of hardboard and buy some painting stuff and Steve was very helpful. They had everything that I needed and they dedicated time to help me and also more customers that was walking in. Steve has so much knowledge and He was ready to help! I'm very happy that I found the Lumber Boys and also happy to support small family business! I'll certainly be back!

These guys are the best in the 5 hands down. I’m a small fry trying to get out there solo and Steve always makes time for me to answer questions or make suggestions, I never feel patronized for not knowing something. I will always use Lumber Boys and will always recommend them to my fellow contractors and home owners.

Absolutely the best go to place for all your custom cut wood needs, I've built desks, tables, bookshelves, closets, and couldn't do it without the Lumber Boys! They're great to work with. They also offer free delivery on larger orders and their drivers have always been timely and very helpful. Great prices too!

I called about a dozen places to find somewhere that could make me a custom board for a shelf I own. There was nowhere that could do it for me, except Lumber Boys. I called them up and they were very helpful and told me how much the board would be. The product is perfect, exactly what I wanted.

Got there just before closing and they still quickly cut the exact shelf sizes I needed (weird ones) in like 2 minutes flat, and had all the additional hardware I was looking for! Thanks! Nice staff, easy, and the place well stocked with real hardware.

I’ve used the Lumber Boys twice to cut and deliver plywood for DIY projects. They’re always quick and without fuss, plus they have a wide range of wood options. I appreciate them delivering all the way uptown enormously. I’ll use them again next time.

This place is the real deal. First off Steve is the best, so knowledgeable and he is on point. He went above and beyond trying to find some supplies for me. Broke down the price And explained everything. Definitely one of a kind place in Manhattan.

Prices online are from 5 years ago and so I got sticker shock at the current prices. I wanted to support a local lumber supplier instead of Lowe's et al, however Steve had a pretty unfriendly attitude and even refused to email me a quote on

Been using these guys for years always have a fantastic experience! A bit more pricy then some other lumber suppliers, but you get what you pay for. In this case exactly what you want in high quality lumber and fantastic service!

The staff was very courteous and helpful. I needed some basic light bulbs and I asked the clerk and he asked the wattage and a minute later returned with the bulbs. I was in and out of there within minutes.

Great customer service, good prices! As somebody with very little DIY experience, the person working (I believe the owner?) helped me come up with a solution tailored to my needs. Thank you!

Perfect service! The owner was so kind and helpful that you seriously don’t see it these days. Professional work and lumbar cut! I really appreciate your help and thank you!!!

First time going here and I'm for sure going back. The service is great. Incredible helping me figure out in what I needed for my project and great price. Thank you so much!

Lumber Boys is by far the best place to order lumber in the city. Their turnaround times are quick and their customer service is excellent. Don't buy lumber anywhere else.

Been shopping here for yrs. Probably no one can get your special order lumber faster. A lot of hard to find items here as well. Super knowledgeable staff. Great service.

Steve was very helpful and on point with his suggestions. I walked out with 3 shelves cut to my specifications, a stain, and some hardware. All under 20 minutes.

Best place to have wood or MDF cut! Yes, sometimes they are busy and can be a b it curt, but this is NYC and they know their stuff - that is golden!

Soon as I walk into the door all eyes are on me like I was going to Rob the whole store! Filled Dirty looks I shouldn't done Business with them

If I could leave no stars, I would. One of the worst worst worst customer service I’ve received. Stay away!!

Local store owner... Great customer service... Very "New York" in his dealings with customers..

Owner is rude and unprofessional. Stopped going just because of his behavior.

These guys pack a lot of stuff in a fairly small space. Very helpful people.

This was by far the most unfriendly and unhelpful service I have even seen

Nice selection maybe a little understaffed but good service nonetheless.

Friendly and went out of their way to be helpful. Thankyou Lumber Boys!
