Q:
Do you deliver?
A:
Yes - anything locally on the Peninsula runs about $75 for delivery. It could be more for items like concrete. It cost more the father the job is from our store. Hope… more

The guy at the counter was extremely helpful.
He looked up what I was looking for and showed me exactly where it was. The price for this difficult to find synko exterior patch was cheaper than the Internet.
I will be back.Helpful 0Thanks 0Love this 0Oh no 0 - Sophia K.San Mateo, CA24810030Mar 9, 2022
This company deserves way more than 5 stars.
Let's be honest: I'm a clueless girl who doesn't know her way around a lumber yard. I walked in to OK lumber company with a DIY project in mind and the store associate walked me though the yard and showed me all the options explaining the difference. Once we figured out I needed a small cut, he directed me to the scraps and found me a perfect piece. They cut it to the exact size I needed and charged me basically pennies for it. So generous of them! I will forever appreciate OK Lumber Company! Thank you all!!Helpful 0Thanks 0Love this 0Oh no 0Business owner information

Professional, Friendly, Helpful, Quality. My DIY project: turning a regular door into a barn style sliding door. You'd be lucky to work with Lalo. Patiently by phone, he guided me through their stock, pricing, the strengths and weaknesses of certain materials, and advice on executing my project. When I arrived, Lalo personally attended to me (with a smile!), cut my lumber, and loaded my materials with seasoned advice on transporting wood in my tiny car. Great organization and employees. I highly recommend!!

I would give 100 stars if possible. I had a DIY project this long weekend to shorten the legs on a coffee table. Tried it with a saw we had in the garage, did not work out. On a whim I drove in to OK lumber and was hoping for find someone who I could hire to cut the legs down.
Frank came right up to me to ask about my doggie, Dandy. He then took my wooden legs from the table and cut them right then and there. The nicest man on the planet. He would not take any money. I am so grateful and can't wait to go back.
My table fits perfectly and I appreciate my angel Frank at OK Lumber so much. Thank you! Monica and DandyHelpful 0Thanks 0Love this 0Oh no 0Business owner information

Really nice friendly folks here. They were the only ones who were able to order some special sized insulation I needed. They got it there faster than needed and even helped me load it into my van. Highly recommended!
(p.s.--lumber yards sell more than lumber. I saw tools, gutter screens, decking, and insulation here)Helpful 0Thanks 0Love this 0Oh no 0Business owner information

How have I missed this place? So close to Home Depot but worlds apart.
They stock everything, and I mean everything. Huge yard, good prices, friendly service. Check hours as they close at 4. Quality products.
I had to match an exterior panel, they were the only folks in Bay Area that had it.
Also note they do not do custom cutting. If you need smaller pieces to fit it in your car bring your cordless saw.
A great find, can't believe I missed it all these years.Helpful 0Thanks 0Love this 1Oh no 0Business owner information
