FAQS

Answers to Your Most Common Questions

  • What are your store hours and where are you located?

    Oromill Lumber Co. is located at 12107 Philadelphia Street in Whittier, CA 90601. We are open Monday through Friday from 6:30 AM to 5:00 PM, and on Saturdays from 8:00 AM to 2:00 PM. Our weekday hours are set up to accommodate contractors who need to get materials before a job starts. Saturday hours are a great window for homeowners and DIY customers who want to come in, ask questions, and pick up supplies for a weekend project. We are closed on Sundays.
  • Do you offer delivery, and how does it work?

    Yes, delivery is available. We have a dedicated delivery truck and driver who can bring your order to your job site or home. Delivery questions are best handled directly with our staff, since scheduling and logistics depend on order size, material type, and your location relative to our Whittier yard. Pricing for delivery also varies based on those same factors. The best way to get accurate delivery details is to call us or stop by so we can work out the specifics with you in person.
  • How do I place a specialty order for lumber, doors, or windows?

    For specialty lumber, the process starts by talking with one of our staff members about the species, grade, dimensions, and quantity you need. We can source materials that are not part of our standard stock. For doors and windows, we have a dedicated showroom in a separate building on our property where you can see options and get guidance before placing an order. These are specialty-order items rather than off-the-shelf stock, so lead times apply. Our team will walk you through measurements, options, and the full ordering process from start to finish.
  • Can you cut lumber to size, and do you build structures or install materials?

    We offer professional lumber cutting, so if you need boards cut to a specific length or dimension, we can handle that with precision. We do not build structures for customers. Oromill supplies and cuts wood to your specifications, but the actual construction of pergolas, frames, or any other structure is outside the scope of what we provide. This is an important distinction for customers planning a larger project. We are your material and supply partner, and our staff can help you estimate what you will need to get the job done right.
  • Do you carry paint, and can you match a specific color?

    Yes, we have a full paint lab on site. Our staff can professionally match, mix, and supply both interior and exterior paints, as well as specialty finishes. If you have a paint chip, a color code, or even a piece of material you want matched, bring it in and we will work with it. This is a hands-on service backed by real experience, not a self-service kiosk. We also carry the brushes, rollers, tape, and other supplies you will need to complete the job.
  • Do you offer screen repair or custom screen making?

    Yes, screen services are one of our in-store specialties. We do both custom screen making and screen cutting for windows and doors. If you have a non-standard frame size or need a replacement screen built from scratch, our team can handle it. This is a service that is hard to find at large retail chains, and it is one of the reasons local Whittier residents keep coming back to us. If you are not sure what type of mesh or frame material you need, our staff can help you figure out the right fit for your situation.
  • Is there someone on staff who speaks Spanish?

    Yes, our staff provides bilingual support in both English and Spanish. This is something we are proud to offer as a community-focused business serving the Whittier area. Whether you are a contractor discussing a complex lumber order or a homeowner asking about paint options, you can communicate comfortably in the language that works best for you. We want every customer to feel at ease when they walk through our doors, and bilingual service is one of the ways we make that happen.
  • Can I browse or order products online?

    Our primary website does not function as a direct online store, but you can browse products through our Do It Best partner portal, which we link to from our site. This gives you access to a wide product catalog online. We do not currently have a formal points-based loyalty or rewards program in place. That said, we have long-standing relationships with many of our customers, including contractors who have been coming to us for 20 or more years. The value we offer is in the expertise and service you get every time you walk in.
