My mom paid $5000 ,for decking material for a 12×24 deck on her house. Been saving for years. On social security. 72 years old. The guy AT HOME DEPOT said he was an ex builder. He told her everything she would need and even dru her prints by hand. I was worried, so I called and talked to the guy. Hey said his guy that picks the materials is the best and would throw stuff out and make sure i get straight stuff. NOPE. They brought it out on the semi end dropped it. I opened it up and was not happy. I build apartments for a living. 4×6's twisted and crappy cracked everywhere. 2x10's for decking crowned so bad I couldn't make them straight as I went. Not even with the help of Jesus. I work for a big company that has an account with them. But my mom????? DON'T EVER LET THEM PULL YOUR LUMBER. Pre built railing was twisted as well. Trying to get it straight with extra metal hangers, at my expense. No go! I even rattle canned my hardware black to look cool to match awesome lights we put on the tops of the posts. I'm not happy and I know she is very sad 😞 $5000 worth of stuff that they put together that nobody wants. I wonder why.
