Reviews of Central Builders' Supply Prince George (Gardener)

Reinhold Hervane

I am middle-age man who grew along-side Central Builders’, in my youth, and watch it prosper successfully. Though, as with age, bitterness does seem to catch up with you and that seems to be the case with this store. I recommended my nephew to work At Central Builders’ Supply, and boy that was a mistake. He told me how cheap and despicable they can be to their employees’, and how they value their customers over their workers. It makes me sick to my stomach that I thought such a well-respected store would be the best suite for my nephew, only to find that it was utterly not. From where I am standing, this local store is no longer going to be supported by me and my wife for the way they handle their staff.

I get pellets for my wood stove here. Only once have they been piled beautifully, neatly and thoughtfully in my pick up. Normally, they're just kind of tossed in there, sometimes with the odd hole ripped in a bag or thin spots where they almost tore through the bag. I don't like to stereotype but it seems mostly young guys working in the warehouse, they need to be trained to take better care because they don't think to on their own. I shouldn't have to supervise or do it myself. A few more minutes of effort and the customer drives away happy. I had to come back in once to get a bag they'd missed counting (out of 20). It was an inconvenience as I don't live nearby.

Such a mainstay, please don't ever move! LoL! Out of all the hardware stores, this is the only one I observed doing their best to remember the contractor's names. Way to go guys!

Gail Soucy

Love this place!!

Floyd Brown

Nice selection, helpful staff

Tamara Grenon

Does not respect Health orders and discriminates against customers. A tall employee rudely yelled at my father to leave the store, not impressed by how they treated me as well. We will be supporting other businesses instead. Such a shame.

Pretty good prices for house hold cleaners.

Mark Trottier

Always reliable staff willing to help with all needs.

Larren Odland

called ahead to place order said they have over a hundred in stock, drove for an hour with a trailer to pick up 16ft galvalumn and not one sheet in stock, Guy laughed says" we have a hundred". You'd think having inventory out over a hundred would be more embarrassing than funny.

Very great staff bought a staple gun from somewhere else and it did not come with staples and they were so kind as to help me with it and the lady there was just beyond kindness that I will return for anything else I need for our home.

Kat. Lety

If I could rate customer service there would be no star. My husband received the rudest service ever. He asked a simple question about pluming part under the kitchen sink. The sales person told him very rudely that they are not plumbers . We took our business to Home Depot and got wonderful service there.

Dan Watt

Easily some of the best service in town, hardware store or otherwise. Conveniently located, on Central. Competitive prices and a good selection.

Veronica P

Closed early on Sat Dec 8. Knew exactly what I needed and where to find it. Wouldn’t have wasted my time driving to this location had I known they close before posted time. Thanks for your reply! Sorry never saw the notice. Yes you’ll see me again as I like to support local owners and your staff is always friendly and knowledgeable. Have a Merry Christmas! ????

Dean Danchuk

I use this place for 80 percent of my building supplies. I do home improvements for a living.

Rikhardr Bjarni

Never have the masonry disc I need for the angle grinder. Why, oh why? OTOH, dude yesterday was extremely helpful. Thank you for the quick response! Unfortunately I don't plan ahead for these things, so I generally go looking when I need it yesterday...

Huge selection, called around for 20' lengths of lumber. One place told me I'd have to special order from the states. Got prices for Central Builder's Supply over the phone quick and easy, they had all boards i needed. Was surprised at how nice the quality of it was when I showed up. Store is well organized, lots of stock and employees. Was helped by a yard guy named Mike, can't stress enough how helpful and professional he was. Going through the boards with me 1 by 1 to make sure there werent any cracks. These guys are my go-to for building supplies in Prince George, now. Much appreciated.

Robert Evans

Bait and switch. Won't honor their mistakes

Good friendly staff

Mitch Guitard

Love Central builders. There happened to be a woman this morning there, let's call her Karen. She was unwilling to be compliant with multiple employee's polite requests to don an appropriate face covering. She clearly felt very strongly that her rights were more important than the members of the staff as well as the other patrons of the store. I would have thought we had grown beyond this but apparently some will never change. The staff was almost unreasonably nice to her. They were so professional and respectful ????. My hats off to recognize the conduct of the staff members involved in this matter. As well, I was offered assistance myself in a prompt and professional manner. The items I needs were reasonably priced.

Andrew Beuzer

Great yard crew, nice lumber. They won't sell you junk at this lumber yard.

christine patrick

The Shorter fella at the questions desk (night) was pretty rude I was clearly standing there for a few minutes before another guy had walked up behind me and he was like sir can I help you to the gentleman behind me but the guys at the warehouse 5 stars! Just disappointing..

Dallyn Czar

Great store

Ken Hastey

Good Canadian value. Profits stay local

Greg Melnychuk

Lots to choose from

Linda Gabris

This store has the most rude and unhelpful sales people in Prince George. One old lady called Laurie was terribly rude when asked a question about a product in their flyer and the manager, when asked about the product, was just as ignorant. We will not shop in this store again and I would advice my family and friends to shop elsewhere and not be treated so unprofessionally.

Don Devison

Excellent people excellent service

Fern Johnson
