Mike's Lumber & Hardware

This company was AMAZING!! I had 2 made-to-measure floor to ceiling bookcases built and installed. What a life changer! They were so professional and lovely to deal with it. I would infinitely recommend them for anything!

I had a number of pieces of ply cut to size by Mikes. They were very clean cuts, and provided quickly (next day). One piece was 1/2” off, the others were perfect. I also did not check when picking up, so would recommend that. In the end, I felt their price was so competitive and the process so easy that I will take 1/2” off every now and then, no problem. I will definitely be using them again.

I have done a number of projects around my apartment including built in closets and bookcases. NONE of them would have been possible without Mike’s Lumber. It’s not just that they custom cut wood. It’s that they talk me through every project to work out what I actually need. Invaluable and irreplaceable.

Great service and prices. They did custom cuts of a delicate set of wood pieces, fastened them, and it worked out better than I could have hoped for. It looked like they did custom work on larger items. Highly recommended.

What a find! Professional work for EXTREMELY reasonable prices. First used them to cut replacement moldings for renovation of our hallway and was really happy with their work. Most recently, we needed to replace a broken strip of wood on an antique bureau that was one of a pair attaching a relatively heavy mirror to the cabinet. I brought Mike's Lumber the remaining intact strip and asked them for a mirror image (including the drill holes). I picked up the perfectly sized replacement strip the next day - and it's now installed on the bureau (everything matched up perfectly).

Highly recommend this place to buy wood boards/planks. I am doing renovations in my home office and needed shelves and a desk. Super fast service, ordered and got them next day, the quality of the cuts is great. And the prices are really affordable. Stop by and check out all the things they have (nails, clamps, etc).

Thanks!

Went in here and had a little project to do. The staff was busy but they still took the time to calmly talk me through what I needed and some potential issues I might face. I wasn’t a huge customer for them but they treated me as one and I really appreciate it. Going into places like this can be intimidating but they made it easy. Will be going back for future projects!!

AMAZING doesn't describe the store, the people who work there or their services.
I have used Mike's Lumber & Hardware twice this past year, and will probably be using them again in the future.
Imagine and old-timey hardware and lumber yard placed inside a small NYC building, and you have Mike's.
Everyone who works there is extremely knowledgeable, patient and understands what an average New Yorker needs to fix up their place.
They also have a brisk commercial business -- I know from having watched the professionals come in and buy stuff.
Their prices are reasonable, and they will cut wood while you wait. They also have a fantastic selection of nails and other things....can you tell that I'm not a DIY person?
Love them! Love the fact that they're super patient, kind and don't talk down to you if you're confused and trying to explain what you need.

Super experience at Mikes Lumber!!
So glad they are on the UWS in a convenient location. The guys were very helpful and accommodating...my piece was cut to precision, and quickly. After a short time in the shop, I bought some anchors while waiting. Then I decided to go for a walk while the wood was being cut. I took about 10 paces, and out comes one of the awesome guys calling out to me, wood in hand... Great customer service and flexibility!!!

I am a photographer living in Manhattan. I decided to have extensive shelving built in an effort to organize my prints. I contacted Mike's Lumber and spoke with Joe. With Joe's help we drew up plans for the shelving units - which they built - and the end result is a gorgeous, well-made unit that fits in our apartment as planned and beautifully stores my archive.

This place is WAY better to go to than other of big box hardware for cutting custom shelving. They have higher end wood you can paint or white plywood like IKEA uses. You call in your dimensions and they consult with you for free to solve your project questions. Go to place in NY!

Please note they are closed at this location as of May 8 2023

Fast, polite and helpful! Secured 4x4 plywood in a pinch.

This was an amazing asset to the neighborhood but unfortunately it has permanently closed.

Great store - i've used them numerous times and never had a problem. They cut wood to whatever size you need.

The best hardware store in New York City.
Its the Children's Museums favorite supplier!

I love these guys; they're always helpful. So great to have the lumber I need close to home.

I needed something specific and quick, and they delivered! Love it! Recommend this place!

These guys are great! Cut some wood for us even though their carpenter was out for the day

The staff's knowledgeable and seems to enjoy being helpful, and the store has a friendly neighborhood atmosphere.
