Queen City does most of their business with independent contractors & remodelers, focusing on both delivery and shop services. They stock a large variety of framing and finish materials on site and rely upon pick - up service from the local warehouses on large quantity items such as shingles, specialty plywoods, etc. They are a 3rd generation family owned business and I have been involved along with my father in building many of their lumber storage sheds there. For that reason my opinion MAY be a little biased.......
They do carry a large variety of sizes of Redwood, Poplar, and Southern Yellow Pine finish lumber as well as Yellow Pine, LVL, and Spruce framing in lengths up to 20+ feet. They are NOT open on weekends, because all their employees work the same hours on the same shift. Their staff is knowledgeable about the products they offer and they are not filling in from the appliance or carpet department.... When you talk to one rep there, he'll be there again when you call back unless he's on the yard helping load a truck. Most small contractors appreciate that kind of service & it's what has kept them there 75+ years in spite of the BORG a few miles down the road. Do I use the BORGs @ work? Yes. Many times I will have projects that cannot justify my trip to QC or I feel it not fair to them to deliver it, although they have never refused to do so. I will allow a company like this to have their weekends. They deserve them.
You will find this us usually the case with many of the independent lumber dealers in the CLT area.
