They know exactly what I needed for my cement project. I made a cement extension on my front porch. I used nearly 1 yd of cement. They had the right cement mixture and the mobile barrel mixer for me to attach to my truck. read more

Good selection, friendly service, convenient. I have shopped here a few times when it comes to hardscape yard projects. The business is tucked away in a commercial section of Goleta, somewhat near the airport. It's not the easiest place to find, but just plug that address into your phone and you'll be there in no time. My most recent purchase was to fill in my home's front parkway and a small back terrace with decomposed granite. When we went to look, we found the gentleman who'd assisted us to be very helpful and knowledgeable. I didn't realize how much maintenance DG requires. The salesman ended up showing us California Gold gravel which looks a lot like the product we'd planned to purchase, but wouldn't have to worry about heavy maintenance or seeing it wash away with a rainstorm. Ended up purchasing it - not only does it look great, but there is virtually no maintenance needed. A real win-win! Check this place out for your hardscape needs! read more

Excellent service and quality products & tools! David recently helped me out with a DIY stucco repair job by providing great information and advise. I upgraded my electrical panel and had to patch 6" on the sides and bottom, and 14" on the top. Thanks to all the staff at Goleta Building Materials! read more

Good company, high-quality materials and tools. One of the few places in Santa Barbara area that is open on the weekend for landscape materials! read more

Top rate customer care and service! David listened to my project idea and set me up with all my materials. You don't have to be a contractor to find just what you need at GBM. read more

Friendly, knowledgeable and helpful. Easily Found needed. It was a pleasant experience.

They have a great a variety and provide quick service. Definitely will be going back!

David Cuevas the sales manager is the worst. No customer services. Horrible! He's argumentative, combative and unwilling to actually provide customer service. My interaction with him on the phone, he was dismissive and rude. At the store it only got worse when he was asked to add my company name to the rental contract. He did not let me even finish speak when he interrupted me and asked if I had an account. That the company was not renting, I was. Business 101. I am not the company the company is it own entity. It's sad that David cannot or is unwilling to provide a customer service in such a small town. read more

Go elsewhere! The manager David Cuevas could use a corse in how to treat clients. He is rude and unprofessional. Their prices are double than other places who sell the same thing. read more

They stock good products and have good product knowledge but their prices are simply outrageous. They charge 2-3x more for the very same material than it costs in other parts of the state and country. I know SB is expensive, but 3x the highest cost is a straight up rip-off. As a retail customer, they really stick it to you. So do yourself a favor and call around for some prices from the other guys, before you purchase from them. read more

If you are a skilled contractor they have whatever you need and you already know the quality of their products and services. If you are someone that fancies themselves a DIYer, but really is just adventurous, not afraid of hard work, and appreciates support from people with tons of experience, then you must get to know these guys! I have lost count of the projects that I finished with pride and satisfaction only because of their support. Don't hesitate to throw your ideas at them. They are very creative in ways to get it done and save you money. (and not think you're too crazy, well, maybe a little) Stop by before you hit the box store. I'm just sure you will leave feeling like you now have friends in the construction industry. Just save some popcorn for me! read more

I have purchased products from Goleta Building Materials three times in the past 4 months. For the first job, since it required a lot of product, GBM delivered the materials. With the two smaller jobs, I got the materials at the yard (with my own truck). The guys who loaded at the yard and the guy who delivered were polite and professional. The employees in the shop/office were very nice, too. I wholeheartedly recommend Goleta Building Materials. If you have any yard or garden project that need gravel, stones, rock, go there! read more

I wanted to lay some flagstone, DIY. I checked a couple different options between SB and Goleta and found this place. The customer service was great and the flagstone was quality compared to the bog box retailers, in my opinion. How many places do you find where you have to ask the right questions? Defeats the purpose, right? Liked it here for that reason. read more

DO NOT USE - they have a very friendly and knowledgeable staff HOWEVER they have the WORST follow up and follow through EVER. I went to their yard and spent about 1 hour getting everything selected for my yard. David- one of the staff members came to my house to measure, and he was going to rework the estimate. About a week later I called the office (as I hadn't heard back from David) and left a message and I NEVER heard back from them. I finally went back to the yard and David had LOST all the paperwork and I had to start ALL OVER again . . . David PROMISED delivery this morning at 7AM, when I finally called at 8AM to find out if they were coming, he LIED to me and said they were stuck in traffic due to the schools . . when I asked him what time the truck left their yard, he said he'd get back to me. About a half hour later the DRIVER called to say he was on his way . . .as THEY hadn't left the yard yet . . .The driver said that the office shouldn't make promises . . blah blah blah . . .so needless to say I asked that the owner Ken Hall give me a call. . . right after I cancelled my $3K order! SO DONE WITH THEIR CRAP and A BIG WASTE OF MY TIME - GOING TO SANTA BARBARA STONE read more

David made it easy to figure out how much rock we needed. He put the order together and delivered it the same day. They really took the guess work out of buying stone. We'll call them again for our next project! read more

I had about 350 sq ft where my lawn used to be and filled it with road base, DG and a rock garden. It was hard work for a do it yourself project but the staff was super helpful and the yard guys worked so hard filling over 175 bags, loading and helping us decide the best material. They offered all kinds of tips that I would not have gotten from just any business. I really appreciate how friendly and helpful everyone at Goleta Building Materials is. Truly a family business with great customer service and expertise! Highly recommend! read more

I can say the staff is friendly and very helpful, sure getting your items take a little while but all in all, the prices are right for DIY :) My yard looks great ... with their help I didn't have extra product. Only if my dogs would stop eating my material; I wouldn't need to go back! Thanks guys! read more

I have bought bought landscape supplies from them for the past three years. Their staff has always been helpful, knowledgeable and friendly. They do not pressure you to buy anything. Last Saturday I was there when a lady was purchasing some rock for her project. She said to the person in charge that these folks are the only ones that don't "talk down" to her. I feel the same way. read more
