Great place with LOTS of options. The service was good - it's a busy building yard so there's not a lot of handholding - but I don't need any. Everyone was very professional, got my questions answered and the selection was great. I was looking for bricks to use in my "no grass" garden as little pathway markers. The new stuff that the big stores carry is such crap - doesn't even look like brick - and what they call "used" is just new stuff with paint splatters. So, I started looking for a place to purchase actual used stuff and came up with Arroyo. I wasn't scared off by some of the other reviews - I've been going to commercial building material yards for ages - these guys are there to work and that's fine with me. We were impressed by the large selection of all kinds of materials - and they had actual, reclaimed, used bricks - in several variations. I was a bit nervous about the checking out/paying part (never quite sure how that works), but it was very well organized with a good covid approach. Easy to check out and a guy loaded up our order. We're going to be adding some sandstone walkways and will be back. Good place, good product - you'll be fine... they don't bite. read more

I ordered 4 "super sacks" of landscape rock to be delivered to my home. Apparently they sent a "new guy" (a direct quote by staff) to deliver and offload the super sacks onto my driveway. Well, look at the picture: the forklift slipped and damaged my house. To their credit, Arroyo was quick to repair the damage by reputable people. HOWEVER, they denied my reasonable request for a refund of the delivery fee. I think it's safe to say that a customer is owed back a fee paid for a service that resulted in damage to their home. Not a good way to treat a returning customer. read more

I just want to give major props to Abel. I needed a color match for a small patch of my stucco exterior and Abel has gone above and beyond to help me get a proper color match. What stuck out to me was the fact that, even though the order itself is very small (less than $100), Abel has treated the order like a top priority. Shout out to the rest of the staff that I interacted with as well, who were also incredibly kind and helpful. read more

no contestan el teléfono pregunte por un material y me pusieron en espera de 30 minutos

Busy and flat out rude. If you order, good luck Trying to figure out the process on getting your order! You pay and you walk down to chase your order and have to practically beg and flag em down to load your order Next time, I'm going to Lowe's or homedepot, forget this chasing people around after you have paid! Also, cautioned them about a lose sign, ready to fall on someone near the waiting area! I've been here three times, same thing- I lost my patience, last time I'm going here! read more

This place is the worst, I arrived and the initial response was great. The loader was the best employee there. I chose a pallet of Stone and had to order the rest, They said no problem, next day. Great ill take them and pick them up. After i left, my crew picked up the stone and i get a phone call asking for more money because they screwed up and entered the incorrect info. wow...So Stone was supposed to arrive yesterday and we went this morning to pick it up, Guess what its not there. Blamed it on dispatch, took no responsibility and just said the exact same thig, almost rehearsed, it will be here this afternoon. I used to go to this place with my father 20 years ago and it was the best. Its a total mess, rude, not helpful and they don't care. I spent $4,800 and i will never go there again and i will be letting my fellow contractor mates to avoid this place at all cost. read more

Rude is an under statement.... I spent over 8k last year in stone and other materials you think that would be ok right? Wrong Carlos the manager looks pissed off all the time I wonder if he wants to work there. I think when I show up to buy materials I am bothering them. I wish there was a zero star. I dislike posting negative statements, if anything I write positive, but this place gives me the creeps. I will order from other stone yard from now on . The property I am working on is 35 acres.... any questions? read more

Good selection, staff is not the friendliest especially the guys taking the orders. Big attitude! Was able to get my materials fairly quickly, pricing was fair. Will not return. read more

Guys are great and helpful. Nice selection and really nice showroom. Location is clean and organized. Honesty we were impressed.

With this building supply store, you have to be extremely careful when you order gravel. Over a period of years and working with them I consistently get half gravel half sand when I order a ton of gravel. You've got to be extremely aware that when you're buying gravel from them you're not getting a full scoop of gravel. What happens is that a large amount of sand is mixed in to the final product which means lots of time and energy goes out into getting the sand out of a scoop of gravel. Are use a lot of palm springs gold and out of 10 scoops I filtered out probably 3 to 4 scoops of sand alone. What that means is that you're paying for 10 scoops but you're getting six. Buyer beware read more

Arroyo building Materials has a beautiful yard. Great products. However their staff is impatient and inconsistent with pricing. I was contacted to do a job in Sunland CA. 8 miles away from Arroyo. A fellow contractor referred me to them and said that they were very helpful. Well, I very much disagree. The prices were not only different for what he had paid. But were also different then what was quoted to me over the phone. When I went to the yard to pick out materials and get prices. I was told there were no contractor rates available which I was fine with. However, once I started asking about availability and cost for materials it was higher than what I was quoted on the phone. Then I asked about the delivery cost which they told me would be $175. 50 more then the $125 local fee they quoted me on the phone. It was clear they did not want my business for some reason. Looking online there are plenty of other place to choose fromin the Valley. read more

A bit out of the way but worth the effort. Very different vibe from Home Depot ore Lowes. The customers are primarily contractors. That said, the staff were very accommodating to a homeowner like me who wanted a single item. Service was prompt. I felt well cared for. Meanwhile, I was blown away by the awesome selection of building materials I have not seen anywhere else. Please take the time to visit this business if you are planning to build or landscape. read more

Great selection. Terrible customer service. They make stupid excuses why they don't get stuff done right. Will never purchase there again

This place is awesome! Customer Service is available, although busy at times and you have to wait, they do have it. Delivery is available the same day if you order early early like 6am -10am, depending how busy they are that day. Next day delivery is a for sure if you get in there late. Thank you Arroyo! read more

Not the best place to shop if you are not a huge account. Came in the office and everyone just ignored us. I understand if you're all busy but a "someone will be with you in a few minutes " would have been great. We just walked out after feeling ignored. read more

RUDE, RUDE, RUDE Employees at the counter!!! 0 help from them. Got my wrong order delivered the first time. Went to return it and it took forever to unload , I understand it's busy and I'm patient but come on. I also had to call the lady in charge of refunds 3 times, 3 times just to make sure she processed my refund. I work on big projects all the time and don't have time for this. Improve your customer service with the cashiers, hire more forklift guys and get a supervisor that can manage the office better. read more

Arroyo is one of the best places in the San Fernando Valley for you to pick up quality material for your next DIY or any home improvement you may be doing. Not only do you get top of the line products but the sales associates go above and beyond to help you choose the materials that are right for your project. I have been a customer for 7 years and I keep on coming back for all of my home projects. read more

Con artists tell you a price over the phone then when you arrive it's more than double than the quote you were given. Horrible customer service everyone seems to have an attitude. But I get it I'd hate my life too if I sold rocks for a living read more

Also thanks to the guys who loaded up my BMW with 60 pound pavers thank you for looking out for the care of my car.. Will be using Arroyo for all other future projects :) Please don't review this business if you received a freebie for writing this review, or if you're connected in any way to the owner or employees. read more

This business is ran poorly, employees are poorly trained and unprofessional! I was treated very rude and both sisters who are owners completely ignored my concerns as a customer, I will never buy materials there and will never recommend their business !! read more

Extremely helpful! Peter remembered us, was knowledgeable and showed us materials we were interested in. Drove 2 hours to see the material and we are so glad we did! Best customer service we have had in our pool build this far. read more

Great selection of materials. Phone service is a little slow. But they are a very busy place. Better to go walk around and take your time. Quality is great. Delivery service never a problem. Hey it's a stone yard. What do u expect.. ha read more

Their sales people act like they hate their job. No details just yes or no question can be ask to them. Another day different sales person same attitude. The workers in the yard are more pleasant. read more

Local spot for building material, fast responds on pricing which is awesome. It's mostly for regular because the inside isn't organized. As regular know where stuff is. Good thing they are competitive if not better pricing. They have a show room real nice build by Zubieta Masonary. They load time for materials is fairly quick. read more

Awful customer service, i was asked to go outside take a picture and bring it back. Didnt have any desire to help or answer questions. People that were standing around didnt offer to help. Walked right back out when it felt like pulling teeth rather than get service or a question answered. read more

This city does not make it easy to comparison shop for gravel! Different companies sell it by the ton... the yard... the scoop... the bag... There's no one unit to compare, and that's probably the way they like it. Anyway, after some brain-twisting math, it became clear that Arroyo offered the best bargain for 3/4 crushed + delivery. They were very accommodating on the delivery date, and at 6am on the scheduled day, a truck was dumping 13 tons of gravel on our driveway. No problems, no complaints. The only downside is that it's a contractor's company. They sell to individual's, but they're a little surly and short-staffed for anything other than the big orders. You may have to wait at the desk for an hour to place your order. And definitely do your research beforehand because they're not the kind of company to answer all your landscaping questions. read more

I inquired at this store today for some veneer stones for my spring project.This guy with a mustache wasn't very helpful and had the nerve to floss/pick his teeth using a straw in front of me! I was so disgusted that I wanted to puke! I ASKED again for help to show me where I can see the sample stones,He just pointed me the direction where to look but never showed me around or gave me options.He was so lazy!Anyways,I would rather bring my business elsewhere.To think that I drove all the way from Santa Clarita to be dismayed! I won't recommend this place to anyone!! read more

Arroyo Building Materials - Don't go to this place!very lazy workers:{ - Building Supplies Near Me - San Fernando, California

For starters I never like leaving bad reviews but this place deserves it!!! They sold my order to someone else and I had to send my crew home till I figured out what to do. Staff seemed to find my issue funny and make jokes among themselves. Forklift drivers felt bad for what had happened to me they told me it's a common thing with this place stay away. read more

I can't figure out what is going on with this place. I've been three times in the last few months and here's a quick summary of each visit: First time: went in an hour before they closed - had never been there before (huge place) and walked around for 40 minutes asking various people if they could help me find some giant rocks/boulders. Each person nodded or directed me to someone else. This went on for 40 minutes. No one would help. Finally someone agreed to assist me, but I don't speak much Spanish + he couldn't speak much English, so we had trouble communicating with each other (totally nice guy - tried to help - just couldn't). Finally I found the office and tried to get them to help me, but they said they were closing soon and to come back another time. Second visit: Went early - when they were opening - and a nice guy did offer to help me pretty much right away. Unfortunately, we had the same language barrier experience that I had on the previous visit so a quick errand that should have taken me 10-20 minutes tops took about 45 (we had to find a translator, etc). Third visit: I guess I must have showed up around their lunch time because when I walked into the office, everyone was having lunch. No one was in line, so I just stood there, in the front of the line, looking from face to face, trying to get someone to acknowledge that I was there. Everyone continued to eat at their desks, totally ignoring me, so I finally walked up closer to the counter in back (where their lunch buffet was spread out), and asked someone if he could please help me. He did. I thought I ordered some materials to be delivered today (gave them my name, my number, my address) and I haven't heard from anyone. Yesterday they said they could deliver any time I wanted today; I said morning would be great, but nothing. It's really like they don't want the business here. They almost actively discourage people from spending money. I don't get it. read more

DO NOT TRUST THESE PEOPLE! THEY ARE CROOKS!! They were supposed to deliver construction materials to my home on a Friday, did not show up & instead showed up announced the next day, delivered the material next to my car while I was sleeping and severely scratched my car, did not notify me & just left. I contacted the personal in charge Carlos Romero, showed him pictures and video of the incident and even after that, he refused to take responsibility for the damages to my vehicle. These people are scum bags! read more

Never knew this place existed.. Picked up some Mexican beach pebbles and got a great price.. Much much cheaper than home depot or even online.. Great customer service n great prices.. Cant beat that. read more

Service is horrible...way overpriced for a materials yard. Prices were higher then Lowe's without the guarantee, backing or location. Samples on the wall outside but then the service reps were unsure of the name or pricing...seriously? English was hit or miss. read more

Thank you for your professionalism while we chose color of pebble rock for our outside and inside of our home project. The sales associates were helpful and not pushy. We'll be returning for our future redecorating projects. read more

Honestly, Arroyo has one of the largest inventory selections I've ever seen! Their massive facility has just about every type of material you can possible ask for, their service reps are very knowledgeable and offer great advice in regards to maintenance, design, installation, and planning. Easy and hassle free delivery, I had a great experience---I would highly recommend to anyone. Whether, you're DIY or a Contractor--this is the place to go. read more

Terrible terrible company. Garbage customer service. They act so annoyed to do anything. The order was so late, I had to pay employees to sit and do nothing waiting for them. They don't care about you. DO NOT USE THIS COMPANY! You will regret it. I've never felt so uncomfortable trying to get information about products. I wish I never used this waste of a company. read more

Went to Arroyo to get some landscape supplies. After asking an individual for help, he told he would be back to help in a while. I waited another 20 minutes with various other employees stood around chatting or driving their forklifts around. Not one came to see if they could help. I left and definately will not be back. The truly do not appear to value my business and probably not yours either. read more

Same day delivery. This is a contractor's store, though anyone can buy. You need to know what you want. Do your research. Bring comparative prices. 5:30 am to 9am you get the boss... so unlike other 'layered' supply houses, you can get personal service. read more

Extremely rude at the counter, not helpful at all and always treat you like their doing you a favor. I've visited this place 3 times and all 3 times I've been disappointed. The employees at the counter have no customer skills, on one of the visits they were cursing at one of the customers in Spanish, in public, the customer had no idea what was happening because he only spoke english. Another time I was returning some material in which I had to wait more than an hour to get assisted and finally when I took the return note completed back to the counter the rep only wanted to refund me half the material because he said his own employee didn't note it correctly and then when I asked for help to locate the employee to make the correction he said I had to figure it out on my own. Both the older gentleman with gray hair and younger heavy set guy have terrible people skills and because of these and multiple negative experiences I'll take my business elsewhere. They will never see another cent from me as well as from any of the contractors I work with. Do yourself a favor and just find a different place to get material from. read more

My dad has been a customer of Arroyo for a very long time, since back when it was called Apache Building Materials. We're plastering contractors, so whenever we do work in the valley or LA area, we always get our supplies at Arroyo. Their prices can't be beat, and their customer service is second to none. read more
