We have been to the Ellsworth Hammonds Lumber for two projects so far. Rick, in countertops was very helpful in choosing a granite vanity top and completing the order. Bill, in windows provided information and options for replacement and new build windows to complete one of our last home improvements. We appreciate the team at Hammonds as we settle into our new home here in Maine.

Dear Hammond lumber company owner, I reviewed your response to my post about your employee's code of conduct. And your solution to this issue is loading and unloading policy?? I have been delivering to this location for years, sir, never had a problem. When you respond to my statement and review about this location, at least be honest. And most of all,have some dignity and address to people what really happened. Some of your employee's need customers service training and most of all sensitive training. For being so disrespectful. In closing; all I was doing is my job. If you are really the owner of The Hammond lumber company in Ellsworth maine, you would have contacted me or my company about this incident. Not respond to you a review. Follow up, 7-29-24, Hammond lumber owner, first and foremost tell the truth and have dignity. I was approached one time by your unprofessional receiver who desperately needs sensitivity training and people skills training. After that I addressed it to your manager about the situation and he stated " get the F- out my yard. You have the audacity to state that no policies were violated?? This says alot about you and your company.

Their “custom building” section was pretty darned impressive as were the folks who worked there. The hardware store part has a nice selection of items and is well stocked. We went in looking for a screen door. They didn’t have the size we needed but offered to order it for us. Obviously, it’s a much more personalized experience than going to a big box store. Conveniently located.

Friendly staff who are great assets when looking for recommendations. Prices are competitive. At certain times, can be alittle tough making a left out of lot when leaving, be worth it to go right and then left at light to turn around then.

this "organization" is the antithesis of customer-service. Drove over an hour to this Hammond Lumber store, went in and asked a simple question. Little, rotund lady at front desk could not have been more rude with basically no reply. TAKE YOUR BUSINESS TO ANY OTHER LUMBER/HARDWARE STORE BESIDES THIS ONE. You have been warned.

Always a pleasant experience at Hammond lumber/ Ellsworth! Been shopping there for WAY over a decade, back when it was EBS. There's always someone available if you have questions, or need service. Staff is great, knowledgeable and friendly, for the most part. I won't stop shopping there anytime soon... (And I'm a stickler for, and a believer in good customer service!)

Went in for a quote for a roof Chris at the counter was very more than patient with me and explaining the things that they were offering without any pressure had the answers I was looking for

Tricia, Valerie. Inside were awesome and I believe it was James who delivered all the wood on Black Bear as we are on the island all super.

Tim went above and beyond for me. I needed a specific sign. We searched the entire signage area to no avail. Then he searched in the storage area and found it for me. He could have easily given up when it wasn't in the sign section. Thank you for the great customer service!

Took delivery of my order today I purchased a week ago. Sad, they can't call to let you know they're coming. Wonder where it would've been left had we not been home? I'll go to Hammond when I must, but in Town Hill vs Ellsworth store. Much more helpful and professional. Delivery Mgr couldn't even take 2 minutes to return our phone call.

Local lumber co stocks items the box stores don't carry should check here first some times they are cheaper than the box stores

To be honest, we are lucky to have a number of good choices here: Home Depot, Viking, Web, and EBS/Hammond Lumber. Hammond Lumber is my choice getting help, large orders, and stuff that must be delivered (free). I can hand search their hardwood racks. Their hardware is certainly better quality than Home Depot. Their tool selection, both hand and power, is excellent. But I shop at all of these stores. I certainly do recommend stopping in here to find what you want.

Friendly, welcoming service. Supporting local business is worth the personalized experience, even if prices are slightly more than the box stores. Plus, free delivery is a godsend if you don't have a truck for larger materials.
