Sam Higdon

None of the gardening or other crap. they have all the basic building supplies here and they have it reasonably organized.

Mike Whelan

Great staff , very helpful

Adele Lawlor

Staff are generally able to assist when u can't find something.

NL Republic

I checked 6 different Stanley squares against each other and none of them were square. If you're looking to buy a square Kent doesn't sell squares

John ostrom

Lots of selection

Deon Pretty

jeremy snook

Phil Ryan

Great store with great selection. Extremely friendly staff who are always a great help.

Jean-Marc Cassista

Front lines were polite and efficient. Out back the men back there were as lazy as a cut dog. Had to look and retrieve products myself.

This was my 1st visit to the Kent Contractors store as I only recently became aware of the fact it was open to the public. The store is very similar to all the other Kent stores except less products ie home products not directly linked to renovation or construction. That aside for those doing renovation they offer construction supplies in large volume packages. I was looking for a new door handle for my front door which I wanted to match with a smart deadbolt. The store had a full aisle of door sets but primarily limited to Wieser products which is a brand I have had issues with before. While I didn't find what I was looking for I will return to this store for many other products. For people who want check prices and suppliers it's great now that you can hit Kent, Home Depot and Canadian Tire all on Kelsey drive.

It is ok

I have to say, every time I have gone to a Kent location, any staff member have always been so helpful. I admire the young employees for what they must be learning, and that I truly trust their advice; as well as all of the employees because not everyone can work with building supplies. So when I go to any of their stores, I do not hesitate to ask an employee for assistance bc they really do know what they're talking about. Kudos to Kent for their training format, or for hiring interested/passionate employees.

Tom Upshall

JASON is AWESOME

Louis Walsh

Good store. Helpful and knowledge staff

Kevin

I like going to Kent. They have a reasonable selection of goods, prices are pretty good. The quality of their tools is not on par with a Place Like Home Depot, but that is reflected in the prices.

Calvin baldwin

Great friendly staff. Lots of variety

Great Local Building supply company, fully stocked with everything you need and good prices.

Sandra Roche

Found absolutely nothing we went their for,which was disappointing because we had heard from a friend that that they carried everything,plus no staff,couldn't find anyone to inquire about what we were looking for after 10 minutes of 15 minutes of wandering and still no one approached us,we left. Won't be returning!!

Patrick Martin

I have been to Kent's Building Supplies many times over the years and I have almost always been able to find what I was looking for. It is pretty much my default place to go. And this was ny first time as the Contractor location since it was built. Great space with nearly everything we were looking for and a great selection of products in the two major areas that I was looking into. I will be back again since I believe this place has a better selection than the store on Stavanger Drive.

Robert Young

Very helpful staff. Brett gave me fantastic advice. My new favorite contractor store.

Olivier Murgier

You'll find (almost) everything you need here. Staff is very professional.

Darryl Hollett

Great check out service.

John-Paul Murphy

Friendly staff, good selection. My beef is the lumber. If Irving owns the sawmills, harvesters, gets crown land allotments, and discounted fuel, why is the lumber the same price as Home depot? Nust seems like a cash grab to me...

John Murphy

Close to wall mart and home depot most people dont know its there just keep driving past home depot on opposite side of street

Tyrone Wheeler

Prices are great and they have pretty much everything you need.

Curtis Phillips

Awesome store and friendly staff.

Brent Downey

Front end cash and customer support is almost useless. Always have to wait, always just one person on cash and not very polite at all.... To the point where the person is rude.

Jason Vaters

This store isn't as large as the other Kent stores in the area. One advantage is that it seems to be less crowded while still having many core building supply items in stock. I've also found the staff to be knowledgeable and friendly. I do like that I can now drive through the lumberyard myself and pick through the pieces.

mark hickey

Best Kent imo it's not as busy

Bill Marshall

The clapboard I went in and hand picked was NOT the stuff that was delivered much later than promised.

ISAAC BARNES

mithun mathew

Awesome service and assistance by Employee Mark,

David Button

It seems that people still don't know that Kent Contractor supply is open to everyone, not just contractors. This location has a great selection of building materials. It even has a bigger selection of some items like windows. However it doesn't have all the pretty displays found in the retail stores. If you are in the Kelsey drive area, this is a convenient alternative to HD.

Paul Rumsey

service desk is cheaper. then there other stores.
