Employees having a great time ignoring customers.

I don't think they care about improving! Look at the other reviews. My husband and I drove out of our way to go to Thompson for stacked stone and lava rock. Two employees were on their personal phones, deep in conversation, while other employees were hanging outside. Even though we walked by them a few times, nobody looked up, no hi, no help. Bizarre today the least! So many other places to choose from. We let our contractors know that Thompson is not an option for us!

Received molded tiles and not allowed to return it.

Received molded product and advices to use bleach. Our contractor said no. So brought it back. Store Manager said they are not responsible.

Thompson is very professional and has the resources to fill your every need. Gabby was beyond helpful and honestly saved my day by suggesting the exact pavers that are used on a project I'm supervising (I thought it was another paver but I was wrong, obviously, she's a complete pro and grateful for her service today).

I've been a customer of Thompson Building Materials for about 15 years. It's a great place to buy and compare prices on professional, contractor grade items. The Orange location has two parts - the "Design Center" and for lack of a better term the "yard style location". Even though the address of the design center faces Case St. - it's on the corner of Taft - about a block separates the two - at times you'll need to stop into both places to complete your transaction. The design center is homeowner/customer oriented; customer service people ask if they could help you. The yard location has a counter and is more of a contractor "pro shop" - no one is gonna ask if they can help you until you "step up" to the counter and say hello. Design center is a great place to view displays of stone and brick veneer. It is where you get prices and place your order. They have several items in stock - there is a "yard" out back to load your truck. The "yard" has more outdoor displays, including real and fake boulders, fountains, statues, BBQ islands, and a small indoor store with tools and supplies. They have block, rock, gravel, sand etc. with delivery available. It's a good place to get professional quality sealers, etc. in large quantities. Another good resource for your home improvement needs!

Outdoor paver display (so convenient!)

Great! They are helpful, and a calm place on Saturday. They assist contractors and everyone else…read moretoo. They have 2 buildings. Their design building is amazing as well as their construction building. Both buildings are within a mile which makes it very convenient. I recommend and will use again.

We were confused at first as to which Thompson we needed to go to first and why there were two…read more The other location (just a couple blocks away) is the "Design" part, or the showroom really. This location here is where you actually purchase and pick up the supplies. We were able to find everything we needed for our projects at Thompson. We made several trips; scoops of base and sand, sacks of material, and pallets of pavers. Fairly quick to get everything too, not a long wait ever, if any. The staff at this materials location is definitely not as friendly or helpful as the Design location, but then they aren't trying to get your business, at this point they already have it. The people at the counter are still nice enough and fairly helpful, depending on who you talk to. The workers in the back getting the scoops and pallets are quick and get the job done fast, they are the backbone! Pricing is great! And took hardly any time to get what we needed. Keep in mind you have to actually look at the designs and decide what you want at the Design location then order and pay for your items at this location, so that's where it got slightly confusing. And maybe because on our first trip there, the computers were down, so things were a bit amiss. However, if just getting scoops or non-design items then you can go directly to this location to get that type of material. See? It's a bit confusing, but you'll catch on. If we can, anyone can! See you next time!

Sometimes I just want to stay home on the weekend and do nothing. Even an extrovert needs a break…read more My husband said no! lol When he starts a project, there's no stopping him. "Well, if we're going to replace the toilet in here, we might as well rip this cheap flooring out that came with the condo and put in new tile..." This lead to a new mirror, sink, fixtures, a new countertop, a new tub, etc So he again puts me to work on a weekend and said use your Yelp elite skills and find us a place to go. I said well, we live by the mile of tile... but I do my research anyways. TBH - the first time we walked in, I didn't get the warm and fuzzies. I mean I don't want to be stalked while shopping but, I do want to be acknowledged esp since we had questions. Anyways, we ended getting help from Ana and it's been great since. My husband is in charge of this project so he mostly deals with the contractor, our vendors, etc There's plenty of variety to choose from and besides Ana, we had been helped by others when she's not there. Everyone is helpful and gives you options based on what you tell them you're looking for. I'm sure we will be back for more projects in the future!

I went in last week right before closing. They still had quite a few people shopping in their full,…read morebeautiful showroom. I had just enough time to walk the entire store, & ask a sales gal a few questions about a bathroom vanity. She didn't rush me at all, she helped/ answered my questions honestly, & even walked me to a few displays to show me some different pieces & countertop choices. She gave me her card & I was pleased that she wasn't rushing me & she wasn't a pushy salesperson. I went back in yesterday, after doing a little more research. I'm not sure if it's cuz it was the Sat before Easter or just a Sat, but they had donuts, charcuterie, champagne with berries, & water. The place was bustling! I was ready to purchase 2 vanities & Johana was still not pushy lol! She went through all the options (handles, bowl shape, countertop, etc.); since she knew I had some time to spare, she offered to make me a fresh cup of iced coffee - thank you, Johana! I'll be seeing her again once the pieces are ready for pick up. This is such a fabulous boutique with great choices & excellent prices... I'll be coming back for more!
