I stay away from all 3, they just add to my stress level. Built a 30x40 three car garage in 14 got everything but the vinyl siding from the local lumber yard, they delivered no charge brought out what I needed when I needed it and gave me a good discount if I paid with a week and the lumber quality was way above anything you can get at Menards
Here the cost would be 3x of menards if we did that.
I got stuff to build the office in the my barn a few weeks ago. Just getting to the point of needing what I forgot and getting the trailer empty to go for round 2.
Lowes irritates me.
When we were building our house I went on Black Friday weekend as they had a sale plus 11% and we bought 40k worth of stuff, cool thing is when you have a rebate $$$$ there is no sales tax on the rebate money. Also if you use your BIG Card or Contractors card you can get another 1% or so back quarterly.
It's a pain to send the stuff in and remember to use the postcards when they come in. It keeps a guy going into the store.
If you buy tools ect on 11% sale you can deduct the purchase and then buy something nondeductiable with the rebate money.
I also like that I can show my contractors card and just park in the back vrs get my order and have to walk out front to the truck and trailer parked in BFE like at lowes and then pull it up.
