Been coming here for years for materials for jobs around my house and other properties. George is a really good man and the guys that work for him are really helpful. Prices are decent and the location is extremely convenient. A yard of pre-mixed concrete in a trailer is about the same price as you'd pay at HD and you dont have to mix!
