Had a delivery scheduled today and the driver was so nice! I was alone and he helped me carry the materials in and he didn't have to! Materials arrived in perfect condition compared to previous deliveries from DBS. Highly recommend using Humphreys Building Supply!

As long as you're not looking for curtain rods or dirt cheap twisted and mangled lumber this is the place to go for your next renovation or new construction project. Superb customer service- Knowledgable staff- And Quality Products makes this my #1 choice in the Tiverton area

Don't bother going there for simple household hardware like curtain rods. They are too stuck up to carry anything like that. The guy I asked for help first sent me to the wrong aisle, then another guy said"We don't carry anything like that." Too bad, lost a customer who needs alot of building supplies. My house needs a complete rebuild.

I have worked with several contractors in different states, and Humphreys is by far the best one! Truly excellent customer service from Dan Caron (the sales rep) and expert window installations by Alex and Ed. Humphreys sells high quality products and stands by them. I would highly recommend this company to anyone.
