I recently started remodeling my kitchen and initially went to the Contractor Warehouse in Gardena…read more The people there were nice, as always, but I didn't realize there was another location much closer to me. I needed something quickly, so I decided to stop by this location instead. My first visit here was a great experience. The employees were attentive and greeted me as soon as I walked in. Every time I've come back since then, I've received the same excellent customer service. I especially want to recognize Andrew and Karla. They always go above and beyond to make sure I have everything I need. If something is out of stock or I realize I need something else, they take the time to help me come up with creative alternatives and find the best solution for my project. Their knowledge, patience, and willingness to help have made the remodeling process so much easier. I truly appreciate his outstanding customer service and highly recommend this location.

DO NOT SHOP HERE!!! I've never said or thought this before.. but this is a "small business" that…read moredeserves to be shut down. Unethical is vanilla, this is straight up satanic business practices. #1 the cashier didn't tell us that there were no returns or exchanges on ladders. We didn't know how much they cost and my friend is too nice so she just paid. It was EIGHTY DOLLARS for a 4ft ladder. That didn't seem right. That's literally double the price of everywhere else. We did some quick research and realized that Emil is PRICE GOUGING. So 10 mins later we asked if they do same-day returns. Here's the deal.. it's one thing that this happened, but his attitude is the thing that was beyond unacceptable. He conceded that the cashier should've told us, and that they're supposed to say no returns or exchanges on ladders. But even a half-assed "sorry" in there would've done it. No, his response was literally "I WASN'T BORN YESTERDAY PEOPLE USE THEM AND RETURN THEM ALL THE TIME." Please explain to me sir how I could've used a ladder that is STILL in its original packaging??? You think I would risk breaking my neck for a return at your shitty garage store? We weren't even trying to argue to still be able to return it, just letting him know that they should say that at check out and he just kept yelling over us. Beyond unacceptable. We just moved to the area and go to hardware stores all the time. We were looking to support a small local business and loyally (and we had already bought things here before).. but now that I see how they really operate, no wonder they go out of business all the time against the big names. If that ever happens to Emil, he earned it. You don't treat people like this and then yell & talk over them just cause they're women. Thievery & price gouging like this is one thing but the arrogance on top is beyond. Thankful I didn't grab anything else here cause I literally had it in my hand and was gonna come back for it. Never again. (Photo for proof ladder was never used). Jerk.

The young men helping us in finding and loading the cabinets were knowledgeable and so very helpful. Prices were good. The cabinets were solid, strong, and well-made. The color was slightly off on some of the cabinets, but the craftsmanship made up for that. We need one more cabinet. But extremely happy with CW, the people working there, the products.

We have been in the roofing business in the South Bay for almost 30 years…read more We purchase and replace a variety of damaged wood on almost every job we are involved with. We were satisfied with this company even though their prices are higher than the other lumber yards like Crenshaw Lumber. We recently purchased some 2 x 10 Classic pre-primed fascia for a project. The product apparently was left out in the rain, because it showed quite a bit of mold or mildew on both sides. Our clients and myself are unhappy with the response from the manager and will now go back to purchasing our lumber from Crenshaw Lumber instead. It's a shame they didn't step up and offer anything to our clients for this $2,600. pile of junk. I will post photos of product as well.

If you're looking for industrial metals M & K Metals is the best local place. They sell big metal…read morein big quantity, bigger than I can use for my projects. so MY favorite part of the biz is the "REM"s section. (REM = Remainders) That's where they sell the left over cut scraps of all kinds of metal. I can usually find something that will work for my current project there. I'm usually looking for angle or square tube. Today I found a piece of flat aluminum - perfect for my project. About 5 pounds. $14 out the door. :-) FYI: REMs sell by the pound, at something like half price versus the full size pieces. When you buy rems, you weight it on the scale by the front door across from the cashiers. I'll upload a photo of their current price sheet for REMs. The REM prices are posted in the REM area, which is straight through the retail store & then turn left. Customers are allowed in the REM area. M&K is also improving the wares in their store. They are selling more helpful pre-built metal parts than they used to. Gate hinges, bolts, nuts, lock boxes for steel screen doors, weld on tabs, casters, tools, drill bits, grinding wheels, gloves, & more.

This is specifically about Rudy in the paint and key department…read more Rudy used to help me with hardware stuff over at the old lumber yard at Lincoln and Broadway. (Not BB, but yall remember that place.) As the daughter of a professional tradesman, I know more than average about what I'm looking for in hardware. And Rudy was also helpful with a smile and without any of the attitude about helping a lady look for a special piece of hardware. I was a little sad when that old lumber yard place closed, mostly because Rudy. Now, I'd also go over to Bourget bros for garden rocks and the occasional drill bit. And yall could not imagine how delighted I was that BB had the wisdom to hire Rudy! I think higher of the whole establishment in general because of it. Our fella Rudy is working in the paint department and two weeks ago he helped me make some duplicate keys I needed. He's still being awesome. If you need paint or key or anything in Rudy's department, do yourself a favor and see this gem of a human. I snapped a lil pic to show my husband that Rudy is helping me. (I hope that cool with R.) I just think he's a hardworking, nice fella and I'm happy he's still working nearby. In my mind he's part of all the little things I like about living in SM. (I'm somewhat less a fan of getting shouted at in the parking area, but I get it... they are trying to keep things moving. )
