He consistently…read moreprovides excellent personal service and is always reliable when it comes to supplying materials for our jobs at United Chimney. Juan is knowledgeable, responsive, and goes the extra mile to make sure we get exactly what we need, often on short notice. It makes a big difference having someone you can count on in this line of work. Highly recommend working with him if you value good service and professionalism.

We ordered some paver stones from Peninsula Building Materials and had a pretty good experience…read more There were a few paver samples on display, but we are generally not that picky, so we went with the Connecticut Bluestone. The staff gave us a quote, we gave the square footage and stone pattern, and voila -- order placed! We did check out a few other paver retailers and they were a little more expensive. I think Peninsula Building Materials is good for practical people who are not too picky. No Karens.

I recently had a door issue that a HOA property management company could not get correct for over 4…read moremonths. I did my own research and discovered this gem of a store to get it correct for me all within 7 days. The customer service was friendly and very helpful as soon as I walked in. I discussed my issue and they took it upon themselves to review the project and make the door, supply the necessary supplies and deliver it to me. Going above and beyond without blaming anyone made me confident General Hardware in Redwood City is a "Go To" place! Thank you!

Then last Thursday I went to get more hinges and a young man helped me and gave me hinges I thought were correct. I took them home and my husband said they were the wrong size.

Now I am left to track down the correct hinges and out 32.00.

Excellent spot. I am not sure if I went to the T & H building supply, or the T & H Lumber. I think…read moreit was the latter. Excellent service, fast, inexpensive, great people to work with, got what I needed to do in 10 minutes, which was to cut some 6x6 doug fir pieces. These guys are fantastic, and really nice as well.

I found out about Builders Market from a friend. I had never heard of them and figured why not…read more What a hidden gem! I had needed some random fasteners for a job I was doing. Builders Market had these fasteners and a whole lot more!!! David, the owner is super knowledgeable about fasteners and tool companies. He always has a great story to tell, offers suggestions for tools and fasteners to help you meet your building needs. Besides, if it is hot, he'll even offer you an ice cream! It's not a stop that I make every day, but it is always an adventure and a great experience to visit builder's market. If you need construction supplies and safety equipment, swing on by and give them a try!

I didn't read a sign when he was standing there Said that the store changed cause someone tested positive and they are order only now. Sorry for opening my mouth with such a stupid question. I'm glad your employees love to make their customers feel stupid. Anyways the man couldn't even put a latex glove on. He wasted at least 5 mins trying to put it on. ( no wonder he wasn't a doctor). Anyways enough with the rude DB. The reason I came is because I needed a new occidental tool belt! I looked online to check what size I needed. I noticed the price online was 45 $ so I would have been ok paying a Little more for retail I get how it works mark up for store profit. After waiting for at least 15 minutes outside. It was my turn the calls me in. I look at the price tag 75$ plus tax wow! What a mark up? I told him on their website it's only 45. He told me to buy it there then very rudely. I will not go there ever again. And I recommend no one else does unless you want to buy overpriced things that will send your project over budget! Haha rather go to Home Depot those high school kids working there are probably more knowledgeable than this big DB.

When I first started my company back in 1995, I quickly learned that OK Lumber was in a league of…read moreits own. There were a few other lumber yards I could have chosen from, but none of them matched the quality of materials or the level of customer service I found here. What always stood out to me was how the business was run--there was pride in the work, attention to detail, and a genuine commitment to customers. Over time, I watched other yards come and go, but OK Lumber remained. Even after the original owner retired, it's great to see the family carry on that same standard of excellence. The difference in quality is obvious. While other places might offer lower-grade materials, OK Lumber consistently provides top-tier wood. Yes, you might pay a little more, but you truly get what you pay for--quality, reliability, and service you can trust. What really makes the experience special, though, is the people. It's not just a transaction--they take the time to get to know you and your business. After a while, they're greeting you by your first name, and that kind of relationship is rare these days. If you're looking for more than just a place to buy materials--if you want quality products and a team that genuinely values your business--this is the place to go. I highly recommend. Joe

I needed some sun kissed boulders with more angles and some interesting aquamarine coloring. Yez had one of the workers bring down a container full of such boulders from the back top row and personally helped me pick out what I wanted, going as far as removing the top layers of boulders one by one by hand in order to get to the described boulders beneath the top layers. And these boulders were heavy! Yez said Lyngso always strive to provide great service to all their customers. And Yez definitely did. I will definitely go to Lyngso for my gardening materials.
