| - I have used Heldt lumber for over 7 years now, they carry the lumber that is hard to locate at the big box hardware supply, located in an area where many of the homes require "specialty" lumber to recreate a correct remodel/rebuild, as far as other reviews of poor quality lumber, or too expensive.
I have pulled warped, twisted, checked, fork damaged lumber from ALL building supply deliveries from every supplier I have ever worked with in last 30 years, that is the standard upgrade when having someone else pick and deliver your supplies, and if you loaded it yourself and didn't examine it closely enough...sorry.
Creativity and experience is how to use undesirable wood, understand that the availability of lumber, let alone "quality" lumber is getting scarce, the lumber prices fluctuate daily and to compete against the vulture like business practices of big box stores is a challenge to any small local business.
Expect that prices will be 5-10% more at boutique stores, expect that if you live in an area where humidity rates are under 15% most of the time, with mad moisture swings, this will cause a lot of unexpected results, expect that you will be working with people that will be there because they have a vested interest to make that company successful, when finding that kind of integrity is lean and far too in between in the big box stores.
