Bloedorns-Laramie

During the summer of 2022 I hired A+ Remodeling and Construction, a Saratoga, WY contractor, to install James Hardie Aged Pewter color siding on my home. A+ ordered the James Harding siding, battens, trim boards, caulk, touch paint and other supplies from Bloedorn Lumber, Laramie. Because James Hardie did not produce battens and trim boards in Aged Pewter color, Bloedorn Lumber contracted a 3rd party to paint the battens and trim boards Aged Pewter color.
The results were totally unsatisfactory. There were issues with some materials and installation. The primary issue was A+ Remodeling and Construction’s incorrect application of the Aged Pewter caulk as specified on the product tube. After approximately 30 days the caulk turn white. The battens, trim boards a touch up paint was not of same color as the James Hardie siding.
James Hardie warranty would not take responsibility for supplier painted battens and trim boards. James Hardie advised the only way to correct these problems was to prime and paint the entire house. A+ Remodeling and Construction would not take any responsibility for its improper installation of the caulk and other materials.
I am extremely pleased to report that Bloedorn Lumber accepted full responsibility for correcting these problems. Bloedorn Lumber paid for a contract painter to paint the house and supplied the primer, paint and all paint supplies required by the painter. Bloedorn Lumber paid to repair A+ Remodeling and Construction’s improper installations of materials and caulk. It is rare to find a building materials supplier that would go to such lengths to make it right for the customer!

I had needed some planks for a bed frame and had no idea where to start or what to ask for. I was immediately helped and the kind gentlemen who worked there assisted me in making a plan of what I needed. I totally appreciated everyone and their service. While I don’t need building materials all that often, if I ever need hardware or wood I’ll definitely be coming back!

Three days in a row, I have had nothing but great service. First, John and Tom helped me with my ridiculous cuts. Then Chad did when I came back for more wood. Then Robbie dropped what he was doing to cut some MORE boards for me for free that I had changed my mind about the night before after it had already been cut once. Amazing, knowledgeable service. I don't feel like they pushed too hard to upsell either. They're straightforward and quick which is exactly what you want in this kind of business.
