I always struggle with purchasing building materials from big box stores vs local building material suppliers. Recently I installed a Everlast roof system. This is a custom order regarding length and color of the panels. You own what you order. Belletetes provided me with the catalog and I in return, provided quantities and product numbers. I ordered the panels and ridge cap first. This was to allow installation, which would determine the specific trim I would need for full coverage over the existing asphalt shingles. To shorten a disappointing story, even though quantities and product numbers were given: incorrect quantities were ordered, only half what I ordered was provided at the warehouse by staff requiring two trips from Barnstead, and when the special orders arrived I was only notified once of the three times orders arrived. I called management and explained that this delayed my business receiving payment for due to a incomplete project that was delayed over a month.

They even went as far as replacing an entire island and coordinating the whole process. It's been a long haul, but I'm a very happy customer and Tom and his team worked hard to make things right for me. I highly recommend Belletetes...
Read moreI use to avoid this place when it was AB lumber it seems to cater to contractors and they never seemed to want to help the homeowners or do it yourself people I went there looking for sliding door tracks for my barn and was helped by Eric very knowledgeable and helpful the out buildings are a little confusing and it definitely could use better signage or maybe somebody acting as a guide to point you in the right direction. saving time from driving around I am sure if I continue to use this store I will become more familiar with the layout it does seem to...
