Talbert Building Supply - Durham, North Carolina

Richard McFall

Talbert's Building Supply in downtown Durham is the real deal. Quality materials at fair prices + staff that truly know building materials & they have an ample well socked sample display area. I have received great customer service on each of my many visits.

I am a builder that uses Talbert for a lot of materials and deliveries and recently shared the below note to their delivery team.

I wanted to write this note as something you should pass on to the delivery team. I am yet again impressed with their ability to work in tight spaces and deliver materials in the most desirable manner. I wasn't home when the driver was here, my wife was, and asked if he could get it as close to the deck in the back as possible. I had thought with the limited space on the side of the house the best they could do was in the front corner of the house. I returned home, almost thought the material wasn't delivered, I walked into the back and the material is 8' away from the deck!!! Getting the material back there so close to the deck will save so much time when we go to install the decking boards this weekend! So thank you to the team for that.

I know we hear all the times things are wrong or get messed up and I wanted to send a note commending the team on an excellent job, not only on this delivery and project but on all the other difficult site conditions that I have been in and the team has helped flawlessly. Not to forget the steep drive over at "removed project address" the team has been excellent with material deliveries there as well as countless other jobsite.

Thank you again to you and the team over at Talbert.

I made a very large Trex decking purchase at Talbert's in Durham and my deck specialist (Justin) was very helpful in taking my crude measurements and turning these into a list of materials. There was one small hiccup with delivery as some of my materials did not show up in the initial order. A call to Justin and Kevin quickly cleared up the issue and a second delivery was made the same day! I cannot thank Justin and Kevin enough for their assistance with my deck order. I just completed the build and have posted pictures for reference.

Triangle Tradesmen

Triangle Tradesmen has been doing business with Talbert for 4-5 years now. I started when I was just a one man show looking for a local and convenient materials vendor. We're still just a small fish in a big pond, but right from the beginning Kyle Eubanks was assigned my account and has treated me and Triangle Tradesmen like a VIP customer, going above and beyond to get answers to our questions about special order items, ensuring our satisfaction with the materials we order, and providing much more than could be expected from the typical sales reps I've dealt with at other lumber yards.

As we grew and narrowed our scope to decks, porches, and outdoor living, we became acquainted with their specialist Justin Cox. He's quite knowledgeable about the vast array of products Talbert offers, and has always been more than helpful in getting us the right products for our clients, providing expert knowledge, great and prompt service in quoting and speccing materials needed, and an overall outstanding service experience.

The staff as a whole from Kevin, Chad, Bob, Denise, other Kevin, Keith, Stacy, the guys in the yard, and all others with whom we've had the pleasure of doing business are excellent. Talbert as a whole offers a great variety of in-stock building materials and special order items for the home from ground up. We look forward to many more years of business with them.

If you're a local contractor, I highly recommend opening an account with Talbert. My salesmen, Don and Daniel, satisfy my needs reasonably fast. I'm a small fish in a big pond, so that means a lot to me. Whether it's requesting a quote for a job or asking about availability on a product, all is answered in a timely manner. Often times, you'll hear back the same day. They truly are like family.

Gump reference incoming...
Yard staff is like a box of chocolates. Though, most of the guys out there know what they're doing and what you're there for. There are some that are new. You just have to understand that and don't base your experience off of one visit. I once left a battery saw there. The next time I was in the yard (not the next day, probably a week later) the guy that held it for me tracked me down and returned it. I can't recall his name but he still works there.

Going off topic here, I just wish I got another big dog shirt. It was my favorite work shirt for a long time. Bring back the big dog shirts.
