This is my go-to hardware and building supply store. No, the don't have everything, but they have a lot of what you probably need, including things that you can't find anymore. I've remodeled many different residential buildings and found Home Resource to be invaluable. Everything from very high end carpet and tile for small areas that cost me a fraction of new, to outdated replacement electrical and plumbing parts that saved the day. Lots of landscaping items, tools, even BBQ grills, ductwork and cabinets.
Don't pay any attention to the (very few) negative reviews about price. Those people are comparing things like hardwood cabinets found here to IKEA junk. I've probably saved $20K over the years and supported a local business in the process. Plus, they are the best type of recycling: reusing. I even donate when I can and tell them when they are charging me too little. The staff are always friendly and knowledgeable, and really do know where EVERYTHING is. Places like this are what makes Missoula a town...

Lets be honest, most of this stuff is junk and creative people, like myself, can find cool new ways to use it. I found most of the junk in this store was not priced accordingly. A lot of the items were barely below retail. If I can go buy something brand new for 10-20 bucks more vs. something that is well used there is a good chance I'll go for the new item on things like fixtures, sinks, etc. I did buy some reclaimed lumber, which I bought because of the old look. However, at checkout I proceeded to make several trips out to my truck with my new purchase while several employees and their buddies stood nearby talking about their weekend plans. Overpriced junk and a lazy staff......I will be hard pressed to go back...
