Building Materials in San Francisco, CA

“Great place they answered all my questions about different concrete sealers. Ended up buying a Penetrating Masonry Sealer to stop my patio from soaking up a whole lot of water.”

“It's rare to get excited about a contractor. In my years of home ownership, I only reached out to contractors when something broke, or if we had to do a renovation (headache). But Tom at California Shower Door is probably the most responsive, empathetic, and gracious person I've ever encountered (like, ever, not just in the world of contractors). He is absolutely unreal. We had a small project that spiraled a bit (i'll spare the details), but from beginning to end, Tom was the light that shepherded the team. Unlike other contractors, he has a large team of super responsive folks. Someone always picks up the phone. I always get email responses within hours. It gives me great confidence that whatever happens, we'll figure it out because they're always so communicative. Highly recommend CSD team for your next shower/door/glass projects.”

“After wasting time trying to get help from anyone useful at Lowe's (30 minutes on hold then they hung up when transferring me, and another 45 minutes driving over there ....to be told they can't get me what I want shipped from another store) I ended up here. They are cheerful, and helpful.Pros: You can pretty much get what you need here, and yes they will deliver if you order enough. They have a parking lot and wont yell at you for cutting sheetrock in their lot so it'll fit in your car...they'll even give you a utility knife and a T-square.They cut glass and wood. They don't run away when they see you. They will offer actual helpful advice when asked and if they don't know they won't try to snow you.They are a family business and not associated with any of the Evil Empire stores.They have sales which helps a little depending on what you need ( you can look up their sales online.)If you have Covid induced low frustration tolerance, this is your place. Easy to park, find what you need and check out.Cons:They cost more then any of the Evil Empire stores. But cheap friends, time is money and sometimes you just gotta pay more to support the Forces for Good ( and your mental health.)”

“The best place to get drywall supplies. Ask for red or Eric they will get u what u need. Everyone the is great and the Gm there Mike he's the man always coming out to say hi.”

“Great place to find that bit of unobtainium for your old SF house, or some random piece of historical building chunk, such as an art deco marble sink or cheap wood for an art project.”

“I used to work for them 5 years ago . I can see the light show from 280 when I come home from my inlaws to Oakdale ca. working at the French Camp plant! Retired after 25 yrs.”

“I would give 5 stars if I were to review the sales consultant, Jet Chen who helped me out choosing items to fill a home during renovations. His knowledge and customer service skills far surpassed the gentleman that I waited to speak with for @ 30minutes the previous day, but that guy was far more interested in other clients and even people who just walked in after me... Jet, on the other hand gave me his full attention and expertise which I was very grateful for. I would highly recommend you look for him when you are ready to order items, or need any clarifications! I know I ordered far more from Jet than originally planned, but it just made sense to order most of my purchases from someone who was interested in helping me and gave me his undivided attention.”

“Had a great experience buying tools from Whitecap SF store on Jennings. First off I tried to purchase the Dewalt FALL DEALS! Right before before cutoff off Oct 31st when u purchase 1 Flexvolt Cut Off Saw kit for $849 get 1 FREE 1in 20v Rotary Hammer Drill worth ($349) FREE with purchase!!! I missed out getting to the store on Friday the 29th and the retail store is closed for the weekend! SO I HAD TO ORDER ONLINE TO LOCK IN THE DEAL OVER THE WEEKEND ON THE 30TH of Oct. Fast forward to Monday the 1st of Nov. I give a call to customer service to see if they would allow to pick up in person vs waiting for shipping and to prevent THEFT $1000 dollars Of tools sitting in front of my door to get stolen!!!! also needed the tool ASAP! After a bit of going over the details online order and speaking with the online rep the Store Manager and clerk Jesus Guevarra made it happen and I got the tools I needed when I needed them the most! The cutoff saw was out of stock at there location and with the supply chain BS it could be a while before they get more stock so they gave me the display just to make sure I got the tool and Deal!!!! Whitecap has some great deals that the big box stores don't offer especially if u need contractor grade materials and tools u gotta Check WHITECAP FTW!!!! I also use and own Milwaukee tools mustard and ketchup and all the sides....”

“Surprised they have a one star! Much better than Home Depot. Came in, friendly people. Happy with the selection and the prices of some plumbing things I was looking for.”
