Island homes and building projects go together like summer and ice cream. There's always something that needs fixing, and when you're done fixing there's always a new tree fort, tent platform or swimming hole dock to be designed and constructed (these are strictly for the benefit of the kids and grandkids, and not cooked up just because the adults need a project...).
If you live on Lopez, there's really just one place you need to know about for all your fixing and construction project needs: Sunset Builders Supply. They've been around forever, outlasting several other pretenders to the on-island home improvement crown, and there's a reason for it: not only do they have what you need (or can get it on-island for you on short notice), they're also incredibly nice people who treat their customers like friends and neighbors, not target markets. Sure, the prices reflect the fact that everything has to be brought from off-island, but that shouldn't come as a big surprise to anyone who makes a habit of visiting the San Juans.
so next time you're headed south on Center Road, stop in and say hello. You're bound to find something you need for your next project...
