There are seven Villanueva Brothers and their sons, they own two businesses at 3939 Cesar Chavez…read morejust west of Hazard Avenue. Frank's Building Materials and Villanueva Cabinetry Workshop where they make and stain basic pine kitchen and bathroom cabinets to order. Building supplies include typical 60 and 90 pound sacks of cement and concrete, sand and gravel by the scoop, cement board, rebar, cinder blocks, nails, screws, bolts, brooms, et cetera. They deliver to the local area, they've delivered big orders for me to projects in City Terrace, Monterey Park and Lincoln Heights. When I pick up materials in my car, or truck they always load everything for me. Their prices are similar to big retailers like Home Depot, but much more convenient service. They will run around the store and find whatever you need while you wait at the counter. Villanueva Hardware a mile west at 3516 E Cesar E Chavez Ave is a bit smaller. I believe they have three additional locations but I haven't visited those. Frank's Building Supplies might smell a bit like oregano, because fifty years ago the building was the home of a Mexican spice distributor. I shopped there even then!

I called 1st St. Builders Supply to replace a broken window. When Javier showed up I thought he was…read morethere to take measurements and would come back another day. To our surprise he was ready and equipped to replace the window on the same visit. The window that needed to be replaced was in a classroom where a teacher was conducting her zoom class. Javier was very professional and worked quietly as to not to disturb the teaching session. Before we knew it, the window was replaced, he cleaned up and was on his way. This is the second time we have used this business for our school and we are very pleased with their service. Thank you!

Whenever we visit this store, my parents would recall times past. How the business used to be…read morecalled Grossman's when they started coming by for supplies, then Contractor's Warehouse with its old school orange and black logo, and finally for a period of time referred to as HD Supply. Well now it's the CW again, and from the looks of it not much has changed. Still the same long walks down the hallways in relative quiet, unless you are rolling the panel truck like I was. Friendly customer service through the phone when I asked about availability/quantity of corrugated roofing panels. Then at the store the staff would help find the appropriate wood screws. Whereas in the past I remembered older folks staffing the store, now it's mostly younger guys and gals though knowledgeable all the same. Can't put my finger on it, but it does feels different from a Home Depot but in a good way.

The customer service at this store has been very disappointing. While the prices may be lower, the…read morelevel of service is unacceptable. Very few employees speak Spanish, which makes communication difficult for many customers. It is important to have staff who can assist customers in both English and Spanish. In addition, getting help from an employee takes an extremely long time. During my visit, I asked a cashier to hold an item for me while I continued shopping and planned to purchase it. Later, I discovered that the item had been sold to someone else. I found this very frustrating and unprofessional. What was even more disappointing was that the manager did not seem concerned about resolving the situation or addressing my complaint. I do not enjoy shopping here because of the poor customer service. Many of my construction employees and coworkers have shared similar experiences and have told me they avoid this store because of the service. Management and ownership should understand that customer service is just as important as pricing. If customers do not feel valued and respected, they will choose to spend their money elsewhere.
