What we do · besides sell stuff

Six reasons people drive
past the big box.

We'd rather spend twenty minutes finding the right part than sell you the wrong one. Everything below is done in-house by people on the payroll — not subcontracted, not shipped out, not run through a call center.

Vibrant paint color swatches and samples 01

Paint & Color Match

Bring the swatch, the chip, or the scrap of trim you pried off the garage door. We match it on the spectrophotometer and mix a fresh gallon of Benjamin Moore, Valspar, or Cabot stain while you walk the rest of the aisle. Zero VOC options. Sample pints available.

Tool & Equipment Rental

Carpet cleaners, tile saws, pressure washers, drain augers, concrete mixers, drywall sanders, and rototillers. The tool you need once a year — not the one that collects dust in the garage.

50+tools
Flatbed delivery truck on the road 03

Same-Day Delivery

Call before 11 a.m. and we'll have it on your jobsite or driveway by close. Lumber, drywall, concrete, shingles, salt — anything the truck can carry. Pro accounts get priority routing.

Propane Refill

Grill tanks, camper tanks, forklift tanks — any size legally refillable. Charged by the gallon, not the swap fee, so you keep your own tank and save roughly 30% over exchange programs. Certified attendants handle every fill. Pull up to the cage behind the store.

Every aisle.
Every project.

We buy through the Do it Best co‑op, which means the shelves look like a regional chain. Everything else runs like the independent store it is: paint mixed by hand, lumber cut to length, fasteners sold by the each, and someone at the counter who actually knows where it lives.

The thing Home Depot can't find

The Bolt Wall.

Bring the old screw. Bring a photo of the hole. Bring the weird washer that fell off the snowblower last winter. Someone here — usually Dave, sometimes Marlene — will pull open a drawer, hold up the match, and say “that'll be eleven cents.”

Fourteen hundred labeled drawers. Imperial and metric. Wood screws, machine screws, lag bolts, carriage bolts, sheet metal, self-tapping, deck, concrete, masonry, drywall. Stainless, galvanized, brass. Nuts, washers, anchors, hooks, eye bolts, turnbuckles.

If we don't have it, we'll tell you where to find it. Usually at the other end of the aisle.

Since 2008 · Battle Creek, MI

Eighteen years on
Dickman Road.

Springfield Do It Center opened in 2008 in a converted warehouse on the west side of town. Back then it was mostly lumber and nails. Today we've got 67,000 SKUs, a paint desk, a rental yard, a small-engine shop, the biggest U-Haul lot in Battle Creek — and the same conversation at the bolt wall every Saturday morning.

We buy through the Do it Best cooperative because we're independent. We're not a chain and we're not owned by one. The couple at the register owns the building. The kid running the forklift is their kid's best friend from Lakeview.

What the neighborhood says

We eavesdrop. Occasionally we write it down.

I brought in a bolt from a 1987 John Deere. Dave opened a drawer, pulled out four of them, handed me a matching nut and a lock washer, and charged me forty-three cents.
Janine K. Pennfield · Saturday regular
I've rented U-Hauls from three different places in Battle Creek. Only place I keep going back to. Trucks are clean, the yard guy knows me by name, and if you return it ten minutes late they don't lose their mind.

Marlene matched a thirty-year-old stripe of paint off the garage door my dad painted. We took the piece of trim in. She smelled it, frowned, and came back with the right can.
