Schell Lumber was extremely helpful when it came to building our deck. Not only did they explain the various types of materials we could use, they also helped us figure out a design based on what we told them we were looking for. All the wood was brought to our house and they showed us the best way to store it outside and keep it protected incase it rained. It was a little pricey per square foot, which was the only downfall, however the wood has held up over the years so we are definitely getting our moneys worth!
