My favorite building supply , this place is big and is well stocked. not as big as Home Depot. the business is located near SF downtown , with free parking. one of the best feature is they are open Sundays. The store is cater to SF buildings, lights,door bells,plumbing supply ...etc. customer
service is excellent and they know SF Victorian style of home parts.

Discount Builders Supply is a fantastic resource. I received exceptional customer service from Catherine Horton in the kitchen department recently. She went above and beyond to get a small part for a gas range I purchased from Discount Builders. Thank you Catherine!

I'm a licensed contractor and use to purchase building materials and tools from the Discount Builders Supply. I shop there 3, 4 times a day. The people who are working there are friendly and helpful. Every time when I get there I feel like meeting friends.
Richard, Nevenka, Sally, Marie, Kai, Bobby, Carman, Sergio, Myra... and many others. Well done!
I strongly recommend this business

Had the pleasure today of being helped by Lionel. His knowledge of the store items saved me so much time today. I asked where they keep mirror hangers and he knew immediately which aisle to go.

Thanks again Lionel!

Every time I come here the staff is super helpful. The last time I came here I was looking for bi-fold closet doors and there was someone who specialized in these special orders who was available to help. Discount builders is also just always so convenient to go to as opposed to having to drive to Lowe's.
