This store has become my go-to place for wood and all things needed to improve and repair my house. I love the fact that it takes so little time to get what I need. Parking is free. You can pull or back into the yard for lumber and paving stones etc. Always helpful people. Sales are great with Great Deals card. A little bit of everything. Bigger stores are not far away if this one doesnt carry something. I much prefer this to HD. One downside is they do not cut wood but knowing that when you go helps. This local store gets my business B4 the big boxes do.

Lots of sales all the time just check the weekly flyer ahead of time to see what kind of discounts you can get. Great place to get supplies for DYI projects in every area plumbing, electric, gardening and anything outdoor for example grills, paint, stone/brick, mulch and dirt flower plots and patio furniture and much more!

Miserable experience all around. Cashier would not stop personal conversation long enough to check me out. I smiled through it and tried to be polite, then my purchases scanned and did not match the shelf price. When i pointed it out the cashier angrily asked for a price check, mumbled all the wrong info to the guy thaf came to help, then started complaining about him. I was told, uh yeah that sale starts tomorrow. Tl;dr: your store does not advertise the correct price, and your employees are rude. Will never be back.

Such a great place. We had a mix up with our paint. we were given the wrong one without our knowledge and it actually worked for us very well, but when we went back to get the same color to finish our dinning room it was slightly darker (because this time we received the right color) Busy Beaver worked with us and fixed the problem with no charge for us. Such a wonderful place and great staff members!

Im stoked to have this Busy Beaver in the neighborhood for my home improvement needs and am happy to support local business! Staff has been friendly and personal, and as a new homeowner Ive been thankful their selection for a lot of nominal products Ive needed at short notice. Allegheny Arsenal has new meaning for me as Busy Beaver has armed me to attack the mold issue in my house tomorrow.Dont expect them to have everything and they barely have online presence, but I try to buy whatever I can here because Im grateful for their presence and convenience.

Nice hardware store with good selection and easy to find everything. I needed three things and walked straight to where they were, no wandering around looking. Staff seems friendly. My first visit but they knew the guy behind me by first name.

Everyone was very nice and friendly, not what I expected in Lawrenceville but I wanted to leave a review specifically because of John. Johns service this evening (5/9) was exceptional. I was initially told they didnt have the lumber I was looking for but when I got to looking for myself, John approached to ask how he could help. He affirmed they did have what I wanted and escorted me to the yard to locate it. We had a tough go because it was a bit hidden but John didnt give up knowing it was there and sure enough, he found it. John even loaded up my truck which was so nice. I only wish I had some cash to give him a tip.Thanks a lot, John. Ill be back and Ill bring a tip next time. Until then, point your manager at this review and ask for a raise :D

WE ARE SPEECHLESS. THE LAWRENCEVILLE CEO. DELIVERED A RECLINER TO OUR HOME. IF ONLY ALL BUSINESSES TAKE THE PRIDE AND APPRECIATION OF THEIR CUSTOMERS SUCH AS JOE DOES. I HAVE NEVER BEEN MORE AT A LOSS FOR WORDS. THANK YOU JOE. YOU BROUGHT THE MEANING OF HELP THY NEIGHBOR BACK, ESPECIALLY WITH THE SEASON OF CHRISTMAS AND THE TROUBLES OUR NATIONS HAVE AMONGST US. THERE ARE TRUE, TRUSTING AND GREAT PEOPLE OUT THERE. THANK YOU. HAPPY HOLIDAYS TO ALL THE LOYAL STAFF AND YOUR FAMILY.

Josh is the best! He always goes all out to make the customer satisfaction his priority. Everyone in the store is friendly and helpful.

The staff here is usually very friendly and helpful, will also acknowledge when they may not be able to answer a question instead of making a baseless suggestion for sales. The sales are great. We always try to find what we are looking for at BB before using a different home improvement store.

Busy Beaver is the greatest! Having recently renovated my home in the neighborhood Busy Beaver has been an valuable resource. They are within walking distance, they have great sales on every sort of product every two weeks and have a friendly and knowledgeable staff who go out of there way to make sure you find what you are looking for and understand the items you are purchasing. They always embed themselves into the local community and really care about making the neighborhood a better place!

Review №37

Horrible customer service. Price point were wrong and manager said that there was nothing that could be done. Also, I had to assist a customer with lawnmower, as employees could not understand the directions. I used to love busy beaver, but thinking home depot or Lowes is better!

Review №41

I went to this location for a dehumidifier. The aisle which was labeled dehumidifiers was mostly empty with zero in stock. When j say mostly empty, I mean half of the shelf space was completely unused and they did not have any options.I picked up a few small items I needed and went to check out. There were two customers ahead of me who had one item each. That process took about 8-10 minutes because the cashier was intentionally taking extra time so they could make small talk. I placed my items down and left without making a purchase.Go to Home Depot.

The store is nice the manager is customer service deficient two items or mispriced and he would not honor the lower price he didnt even apologize he simply said do you want it or not. I need the price on a patio stone I went to the cashier she told me to go wait outside she called someone and that manager came outside and when I asked him the price he said go see the cashier

I’d like to support this store because it is a local franchise and is located near me. The last couple of times I’ve gone there I haven’t been able to get anyone to wait on me because they were tied up helping a customer on the phone, or something, so I ended up leaving.
