We showed up at Tap Plastics at 4:20 on a Saturday. We were greeted by Kira and Crystal. We told them what we wanted to do. They explained the various options available. They are both very knowledgeable (and extremely pleasant). We thought we would have to come back in a few days to pick up our order, but they fabricated exactly what we needed and we were out of there in 15 minutes! Quick, helpful, friendly service! read more

Just wanted to say they DID do a needed trim for free, and gave me the extra pieces. If I need more plastic, I'll be back! read more

Brought in a rounded aluminum window frame so they could cut some polycarbonate to fit. First try was totally the wrong radius and it had a big scratch. Brought it back and the second try is a lot closer but still off. Thought tap plastics were good at this stuff. Guess not. read more

My boyfriend (Larry M) brought a rear window in for his 37 Chevy Truck to the Pleasant Hill location, Crystal was the employee who helped him. She was friendly and very helpful and made the shopping experience very pleasant. We highly recommend this store and definitely will continue to shop here. Thank you Crystal for your awesome customer service. read more

TAP Plastics precisely cut a large and oddly shaped piece of plastic for me to ask as a top on a refinished cabinet. They were very careful to get the measurements correct and it came out perfectly. The fit is amazing and it was completed several days early. I was really impressed! They also are very health conscious and everyone was wearing masks. Highly recommended if you need something cut to fit an odd shaped area! read more

I popped in to see if they would cut a piece of thick plastic for me that wasn't theirs. They were great about it. I believe the man's name was Ryan?? I've gone there for years when I need that specific something. A few years ago I designed something and they fabricated it to my specs. I didn't know exactly how to draw something to spec and they took the time to walk me thru it. They are always great to work with. Creative people!! read more

I ordered to pieces of plastic to cover two surfaces at my home. Gave the dimensions. They had both pieces done quickly. One piece was cut to my dimensions. The second was about 3/4 to long As that piece had rounded corners the measurement was Important. Will have to make the 60mile round trip to get it fixed. read more

I came here to buy a plexi glass for my arcade unit at home and Bryan was helpful and fast. He showed me what I needed and cut the plexi glass quickly and I was in and out in less than ten minutes. Thank you. read more

I went there to get a piece of plexiglass cut. When I walked in everyone who worked there started screaming to get out. (strike one) Apparently the covid has them extremely paranoid, (more so than science would deem rational) After I backed out a dude with a pony tail stuck his head out the door and said that they are only taking phone orders. I was literally standing there holding a template with all of the dimensions on it but he refused to take it. I told him that I called five times and got disconnected. He then sarcastically said that it was like calling a radio station, and "not everyone gets through" The moron had the worst customer service and would have been fired if he worked for me. My company has done a lot of business with Tap plastics over the years but I will never step foot in that store again. read more

I have an old World War 2 map that I wanted to get framed for a trunk but I was also heading home to Las Vegas. There's no Tap Plastics where I live. The staff was understanding and accommodating and was able to make my frame. Amazing! read more

I love this place. These people are amazing. They cut the plastic that I bought from them several years ago for FREE! And then I didn't even have to come back for it. It only took 1 minute for them to cut it. Then I said let me go to the store and buy one of those adhesive round protectors to put at the edges of the plastic. And they gave them for FREE! Can you believe it?!! They're the best and I'm so glad they're local. Thank you so much Tap Plastics!!! read more

Great customer service out of this store. Went in on a semi-busy day and needed some sheets cut down. They advised me risk as it was not new and I agreed to it. They cut them quickly and without issue. They came back with a more than economical price for the service. Thank you TAP! I will be back again. read more

Nick Rocks ! Thanks for the great service ! These guys are super fast and friendly !!! read more

The team was helpful in working with me to find the stand I needed to display my pictures.

I called asking for a particular product of which the individual on the phone said, yes we have it in two thicknesses. He gave me a price asked if it was in stock he said, yes. I said most likely I'll see you later today. About an hour later I arrived to pick up the product, when I got there they didn't know what I was asking for, trying to sell me something that had nothing to do with what I was asking for. The guy at the counter went and spoke to who I'm assuming is the manager asking if he knew what I was talking about playing dumb like they had no clue. I asked if they could order it, no. I asked why I was given misinformation the response from the guy at the counter was sorry. He then proceeded to help another customer. Really dude I've been doing business with you guys for 20 years this is how you treat a customer that comes in a couple times a year or any customer for that matter. Guess I'll take my business elsewhere next time. read more

This Tap Plastics location is AWESOME !!!! They helped me design my project and it worked. And told me which plastic part would be the best to use. Thank you Pleasant Hill Tap Plastics read more

Tap Plastics has always been a household name growing up. It wasn't until I became an "adult" myself, that I needed their services. I bought a faux wicker patio side table for use inside because it matched my decor and has a removable top such as an ottoman for space to store things. The only downfall was the fake wicker is quite pliable, and bends when drinks and such are set on it. I took the top to Tap Plastics in Pleasant Hill and was greeted with friendly faces and impeccable customer service. For an extremely reasonable price, they had made a sturdy plastic top for my table in a matter of 15 minutes. Thanks so much Tap Plastics, and I will be seeing you soon! read more

We have been frequent customers of TAP Plastics for many years, mainly for my husband's telescope projects. I recently decided that I wanted to have a display case to protect my collection of fossils, so hubby gave me a custom made case from TAP as a gift. Nick, the fabricator, did a beautiful job of making the case to our specifications, and we had excellent communication with him about some of the details. All of TAP's staff members are friendly, courteous and professional, Jim, Melynda, and Ryan, to name a few, and we highly recommend TAP for any projects involving plastics. read more

So I went i to this store ti price out some plexiglass I had more then enough information for them to figure out what that cut time would be ! But the elder gentleman I used this term lossy as he was a ass hole . Now this guy ether did not want to make a sale or find his co worker lacking the ability from a drawing with base line measurements to tell him how long it would take to cut . I will not buy from this store as long as he work in it . I buy a lot of fiberglass supplies. This is thousands of dollars . read more

Used to love TAP, but last time I was there I was talked out of how I wanted to solve my repair. Recommendations DID NOT work. Polyester never set up. Now have to remove repair attempt and start over. Too bad there isn't a competing business nearby. May still have to get materials from TAP, but will NOT follow their advice! read more

Very bad business and over priced. Employees are rude and if you buy stuff then change your mind they will be disrespectful and they won't even attempt to speak with you! read more

We recently purchased a new car. We have a dog, and the back seats are captain's chairs. So, there are a lot of open spaces for our elderly dog to fall through. We went to TAP Plastics in Pleasant Hill and talked with Kira. She helped us design a fix. We took measurements of the area and asked for a lip to be put in at a certain spot in the mat so it would create a solid space without slipping. Kira asked how much our dog weighed so she could recommend the right product that would hold up under his weight. I must stop here and say that Kira has such an upbeat and can-do attitude that she took all our concerns away. She was as excited to work on this project as we were to fill those holes. Normally there is about a week turnaround. We dropped off the measurements on Monday and by Wednesday she called us with the finished product. Let me tell you, it works like a charm. Our 12-year-old companion is as happy as a clam. No more falling through the cracks. TAP Plastics is the place to go when you need something custom made. I am sooo glad that they are in our city. They guarantee their work and explain everything thoroughly. Thank you, Kira and TAP Plastics. read more

These guys can't even cut a piece of plastic to the right size. Guy at the front measures the piece I need haphazardly and sends info to the back. Waste of space! read more

TAP Plastics is the best! Russ took good care of me and I got my job done quickly and easily. Their service is top notch, employees friendly and knowledgeable. I highly recommend!! read more

When I say this place has been here forever, I mean it's been here FOREVER. Great and quick services - I got some plexiglass custom cut and it was ready in 20 minutes! read more

Exceptional service!!!! My son accidentally broke a piece of glass in a door frame we had. It was going to take a week to order the new tempered glass. We needed a special piece of plastic to temporarily fill the void. I dropped by Taps!! Jim said this special piece could be done Monday. I needed it now. I pleaded my case. They did the job and I was out of there in 10 min. People helping people. Thanks Jim! read more

Been here half a dozen times for materials to complete projects. Products are great and it's really the only local place you can get many of the things they sell. The real draw back here is the customer service. If you want recommendations/help regarding materials, expect to be treated like an idiot (based off numerous experiences). I don't know if they are attempting humor, but they come across condescending and rude (i'm a veteran with thick skin fyi). The exception is the lady who works the register who is great. Also costs for cutting plastics is outrageous and numerous times over the cost of materials. If you choose this place, buy the bulk materials and finish them yourself. Next time I have a plastics need I am going to drive the extra distance to try the other location. read more

I needed to have a broken plexiglass part repaired .. it was not an easy fix that could be permanently done through this retail outlet ... but Ryan took his own time and did a recommended treatment at no charge that suited my needs until I got the permanent fix. He was a great help for what I needed. read more

I've gone to a few TAP stores...this one has to be the worst. Unhelpful, uncaring staff...almost every time I've gone in here I've left with a bad taste in my mouth. I'm not an unreasonable customer with weirdo requirements for dumb projects, but for some reason I was treated as such. My last visit actually drove me to write this review, the guy who was "helping" me acted like I was a huge problem to deal with, whereas at Home Depot I was expecting the same treatment but got the opposite only moments earlier. So screw this place, not going here anymore to do many more projects...I'd rather learn how to fab up crap myself rather than put any more custom orders into the hands of the ungrateful. read more

Nick down at Taps Plastics can hook you up. Gives you the cuts and custom framed boxes and signs. Ask for Nick. Super helpful dude. See you soon Nick read more

While their prices are a bit high, you can usually get whatever it is you are looking for. I've gotten everything from custom pieces like computer cases down to run of the mill shadow box covers, and they've not disappointed me yet. Custom pieces may take some time, but is always exactly what you need. Simple cuts are ready for you in a few minutes. Quality work, friendly staff, creative people in the back that make anything. read more

I had a quick DIY project: stop the draft coming from an unused fireplace. Since I plan to put decorative lights in it, I wanted a clear piece of plastic as a cover. I checked the TAP website (which claims to beat the prices of the local stores) then called the store to see if they had stock. They had something equivalent and for a lower price than the website. When I got to the store and explained my project, the rep (sorry I didn't get your name, cos you were great) advised a thicker plastic and even made some other suggestions. I went with the thicker plastic (same price as website without paying $11 in shipping woot!) and they cut my order while I browsed the store. Lots of craft/DIY options in there. When they brought out my order (they were quick), the rep explained about the covering and how to clean the plastic. Everyone, from the gentleman I spoke with on the phone to the lady at the cash register, was extremely courteous and helpful. read more

Amazing service!!!! Ryan was so helpful! He was so creative and came up with an idea that insightful and out of the box thinking. The place has such a relaxing atmosphere and also is nice and cool from the outside heat. read more

Complete inventory of any plastic needs - acrylic , poly carb, and many other varieties I am not familiar with. Inventory is great, can fabricate anything you need. Would be five stars if it weren't as pricey especially when you are the only game in town, or the front counter staff as surly as they tend to be. read more

Nick was awesome. There was a normal turn around period of a few days but Nick was able to do the job right then and there. Straight forward and easy as pie. Would highly recommend. They even have paper you can use to trace the exact measurments and ate very hands on. Visit the store and see what Nick can do for you. read more
