    Cabinetry and lighting
    Ophelia M.

    I'm a fan of second chances and Second Chance Building Materials Center is all about second chances. Their motto is: Giving people and materials a second chance. They give people a second chance by hiring those in need of it. They give materials (and the environment!) a second chance by keeping building materials out of landfills and selling them to consumers at a discount. So, what materials can you expect to find? While I was there, they had lighting of all varieties, ceiling fans, cabinetry, doors, windows, sinks, toilets, floorboards, and countertops (amongst other things). My house was built in 1920 and I was hoping to find an old schoolhouse style light for my kitchen. They didn't have precisely what I was looking for, but did have plenty of fixtures at incredibly reasonable prices ($5-6 for glass fixtures). We also checked out some doors while we were there. They were also incredibly priced ($10 for a solid core door? Nice). This is also a great place to keep in mind for building supply donations. Ie: While they didn't have the schoolhouse light I was looking for, I did find one elsewhere and then donated my old lighting here (there was nothing wrong with it--I just wanted something that would stylistically keep with my 1920's era home). Overall, a great spot for used and vintage building supplies with a business model that aims to positively impact our community and those in need. Get to it!

    VCT tile, durable and virtually indestructible!

    I Love This Store! I am so happy with the VCT (vinyl composite tile) I picked up here last week. The Staff is kind and very helpful, the guys even loaded my truck. Also, picked up some paint brushes and a window. Great prices. My shop first for home repairs. Thank you for all the hard work you do!

    Many treasures to be found here. I just picked up some cheap lightbulbs and a couple mirrors for an art piece. Staff was very helpful

    I hadn't realized this before, but they give you a donation receipt for your stuff. I'm going to bring in more items for my taxes!

    Love that good usable materials have a place to go for possible use rather than into the landfill.

    I've gotten a ceiling fan, furniture pieces, paint, cabinet handles and now a fridge for the garage.

    This shop has been closed for years... I had some tool repair done there, and they did OK. My…read moreimpression was that the retail end, tool sales, couldn't price tools to compete with the big box stores and on-line too sellers.

    This place is a Milwaukee Tool authorized repair service center. I took my 10 month old drill in to…read morehave them fix it. They told me it would take 5 days. Three weeks later, they finally have it "ready" for me. The fixed it half assed. Left two screws out of the drill and in the case. I put them back in myself. Drill had multiple problems, they fixed one, and didn't test it for more apparently. I left with it, thinking it was fixed. Two days later, I took it back again, they said it would be another week, so at their suggesttion, I took the drill with me and was told I would be called when the part arrived. Three weeks goes by, and I called them to see if the part had arrived. The guy, Larry, tells me that for some reason, Milwaukee "didn't get the order". So then he says he re-ordered it. An hour later he calls me back. He says the part is unavailable and he can't fix my drill. That's when I let let Larry know how I felt about his business. So, after being dicked around by these guys for almost a month and a half, I send the drill to Milwaukee in Anaheim. They have it back to me in less than two weeks, working perfectly, and they paid the shipping both ways. SCREW KC SUPPLY!!! They're rude, incompetent, lying a-holes. I would never spend one penny in there, ever.
