84 Lumber in Manassas is hit or miss. If you get the 1 helpful employee out of 5 then things go smoothly. On the other hand, if you get one of the other employees who seems too preoccupied and/or doesnt know anything about building materials then you should just go to another building supply place and not waste your time. I prefer Groves Lumber in Remington or Barrons Lumber (which is down the street from 84 Lumber in Manassas). Builders First Source in Elkwood, VA is another choice, but they dont really have a showroom for drop-ins. The reason I have to deal with 84 Lumber from time to time is because I like to ask for 2 to 3 bids for my projects to make sure I am getting a reasonable price. 84 Lumber usually never gets back to me or I have to deal with someone that does not even know what an LVL is. 84 Lumbers only competitive advantage is the fact that they are open on Saturdays until 4 pm. I think the only reason they do this is because they are losing market share to their competitors, who have better sales people. In case people are wondering, I build custom/spec homes. I dont purchase a lot of materials like the large commercial builders or tract home builders so that may be why I get poorer quality service. If you are a DIYer or doing smaller remodeling jobs - 84 Lumber probably is not the right place for you.

Needed to special order some Cedar. Called and placed order on a tuesday, was informed I would get a call on thursday confirming receipt and then a call on friday for delivery. Never got the thursday call, I called them friday and they said the lumber was in and they would call me with deliver confirmation. I got a call but it was to inform me the lumber had NOT been delivered and wouldnt be delivered till tuesday ruining my weekend project for my wife. I explained the situation and asked if they could discount the delivery or anything in consideration. They said no. I canceled my order and went with a different vendor who happened to be half the cost! I guess it worked out.

I went to 84 lumber on a Saturday Morning April 23th and spoke with Kevin one of the co-managers about decking material. Told me he couldnt get me a quote till Monday. Never heard from him called him on Tuesday and emailed still no response. Talked to Kevin on Friday, who asked for me to send pictures of my deck.and I did. Said he would send a quote the next day. I didnt get one. Called on Monday May 2nd, told he was off. So with the lack of response I went to Builders first. Ordered the material needed and I am getting it on Thursday. So 84 lumber lost out on roughly 4,000 dollar sale. Dont plan on going back there.
