Parksville Home Building Centre

Helpful staff, good selection and in stock items.

For 13 years, I lived within walking distance of Parksville Home Building Centre.I paid a visit to it recently and it was just as I remembered it.There's a selection of everything from lumber to backyard bird feeders.I enjoyed strolling through the aisles and I found what I was looking for!

The man in the paint department needs to retire or treat people better. We went in to buy paint that was on sale in the flier and on the shelf but when we went to pay they said it wasn’t on sale. Someone in the store made a mistake and instead of honouring the price two people argued with us and became annoyed with us. Finally the assistant manager decided to give us the price but by that time we weren’t giving our money to a store whose employees would treat us that way. Do better. We will never shop there again. I know they don’t care about us not shopping there, what’s two people right. We are doing Reno’s and that’s thousands of dollars that will be spent elsewhere. Also, I waited for a long time for the paint guy to acknowledge me and he couldn’t even take the time to say he would be with me in a moment.

The friendly staff has been very helpful, every time I go in with questions.Recently went in for a couple sawhorses and a piece of plywood, and one employee helped me determine what size/thickness of wood I would need for my project. I did not catch his name, but he was extremely helpful!After making my purchase, a delightful young man named Davis helped me locate my plywood, helped me carry it out to my vehicle, and helped tie it down when we realized it would never fit inside!Many thanks to the staff, especially Davis, for being so awesome!

Pat, you need to be in the water more than helping me with my water" issues! Had a Canada day plumbing issue

love the location. great service and everything was easy to find

Went in for 2 things and found recycled rubber matting...great for my rocky area yo make a seating area for the summer bought 8 of them thinking of 4 more....way cheaper then wood or cement pavers..This is the idea....will dig down and level it...double ground cloth it and have place to sit out in the evenings

Wonderful experience. I needed 35 inches of downspout. I was told that they could not cut to shorter lengths that they had in stock which I get. They had a length which was dented (damaged) and I asked what kind of a discount I could get as I thought, given it was dented it would likely be difficult to sell. The customer service person told me she would do what she could do. End result 99 cents off of a 21.99 purchase. Made me chuckle at the checkout! My neighbor had a good laugh as I relayed the experience to him. I initially gave them one star but that was a hasty review on my part based on this one experience. Upon reflection I changed it to 4 stars as normally the service that I get there is excellent, and as well, from the same staff person. My first attempt at submitting an online review and I should have put more thought into it rather than review on just this one instance. It did make me chuckle though.

Went in looking for a few boards for a project at home and ended up finding some curios in there as well. Had no problem dealing with the staff and the wait I had was very reasonable. The guys in the yard were well more than helpful, as well.

What's not to like? Who doesn't love hardware stores?Good selection, helpful staff. My only negative reaction was to the price of a single purchase.I needed a less than one metre piece of wood. It could be any old rough, distressed plank. I found an otherwise useless and likely unsellable offcut that I assumed would be discarded. They charged me $4.00 for what really was destined to be garbage. I have no idea what is a reasonable price, but $4.00 for something that most places have simply given away seems wrong.
