Featured Reviews for Building Supplies Companies in Alum Rock, CA

Los Gatos Roofing
Building Supplies Companies in Alum Rock, CA
Average rating: 5 out of 5 stars21 June 2012
“This company was extremely reliable, organized, efficient and trustworthy. The teams all worked great together from the tear-off to the roofers laying the final product. All deliveries happened with precise timing. They cleaned up every day and at the end of the job, you never knew they had been there. Extremely pleased with everybody from the sales person to the roofers and couldn't be happier with the end results.”
Larsen Lumber
Building Supplies Companies in Alum Rock, CA
Average rating: 5 out of 5 stars26 July 2018
“I've ordered materials from Larsen Lumber a number of times once for a deck another for a large gazebo. Both times the materials were delivered carefully, on time. Wood that I didnt like was easily returned and exchanged for "better" wood. The staff was reliable, friendly and helpful. The price was competitive and in some cases better than your mainstream lumber shops. Sam, as the owner, took over the family business and runs it with integrity. I only buy lumber from here.”
Warmboard Radiant
Building Supplies Companies in Alum Rock, CA
Average rating: 5 out of 5 stars4 February 2015
“Warmboard provides cutting edge, thermally efficient, low-mass radiant floor panels, expert advice and professional service. Combining a structural plywood sub-floor panel with a predetermined, integrated radiant tubing layout (to your zoning specs), the panels are wrapped with an aluminum sheet on the top face. This places the tubing just beneath the finished floor instead of below it (as with a staple-up installation) or encased in concrete. The panels arrive on the job site with a keyed plan, numbered and ordered making the installation process quick and easy. As an architect, I like using this system as an alternative to high mass radiant concrete floor slabs because of its faster response time, lower water temps required and the seamless integration of the sub-floor and heating system into a single package. The shop drawings are crucial in getting this system right and Warmboard reliably delivers there too. I can highly recommend their service, their professionalism and their product. They care about getting it right and are a pleasure to work with.”

greenspace
Building Supplies Companies in Alum Rock, CA
Average rating: 5 out of 5 stars12 August 2016
“How lucky are we to have greenspace in Santa Cruz? This is a place that is worth the trip no matter where you're coming from. Lydia and her team are so knowledgeable in the green ways. They always have a solution that makes it easy to put away our old, wasteful and non-earth friendly habits. We furnished our showroom with paints and stains and carpets from greenspace. Our showroom gets SUCH heavy wear and tear and everything is holding up beautifully. It's been EIGHT years now and nothing needs repainted or restained. Who needs nasty chemicals when these earth friendly products work so well?! And did you know that greenspace offers design services? Lydia Corser is licensed and so experienced. She is so respectful of personal style and budget. She always calls us ahead of time so that we are aware of any special preferences that her clients may have. She would never push a client into a style that didn't suit the individual, the family and the home. Her communication skills just can't be beat and her sweet heart keeps her clients calm in the often chaotic and exhausting world of building and remodeling. On a personal note, we have a beautiful, chemical free duvet and heavenly soft duvet cover from greenspace. They're five years old and also holding up beautifully. greenspace and Lydia are such gems!”
Klampit Industries
Building Supplies Companies in Alum Rock, CA
Average rating: 5 out of 5 stars27 October 2017
“These holders are the best. I did a concrete foundation pour using Klampits, Simpson's and Bolt Rite's holders. Both Simpson and Bolt Rite twisted and moved when the concrete was poured near the bolts, but Klampit's head strong and firm. None of the bolt being head by the Klampit Anchor Bolt Holders moved, twisted or misaligned. Way to go Klampit!!!”

“I always appreciate the excellent guidance from Darryl at Bruce Bauer Lumber regarding the complications and details of selecting windows and doors for large projects. It's a back-and-forth process requiring complete understanding of the project goals, keeping both function and aesthetics in mind. Darryl is a good communicator, understands the products he sells and follows up. It's always a pleasure working with him.”

What should I consider when choosing building materials?


One of the biggest challenges when building or renovating a home is deciding where to spend and where to save on building materials. One way to balance your spend is to use more expensive building materials, such as stone, timber panelling, and rain screens, sparingly, or to substitute a lower installation cost for a higher material cost.

When comparing costs, also take into account energy efficiency and lifespan. Some windows, for example, are more energy efficient than others; and while they may have a bigger price tag, the savings you make from insulation will, over time, offset the higher upfront cost. The same goes for timber flooring – often the cheaper the material, the sooner it will need to be replaced.

Raw materials and how they’re applied – including everything from metal roofing and timber panelling, to board-formed concrete and porcelain tiles – can provide infinite design possibilities. If you’re working with an Alum Rock, CA builder, architect or designer, they will likely have favourite building materials they like to work with, as well as favourite suppliers. Ask them for examples of how the material has been used in past projects, and seek out alternatives for comparisons.

Questions to ask a supplier of timber and building materials in Alum Rock, CA:


  • Where do you source your supplies from?
  • How is your timber harvested?
