The finest builder’s junkyard, leftovers of all kinds are abundant and cheap. Remember you gt what you pay for in an «as is» condition – no refunds. Know what you want and be sure it meets your needs, and you’ll get it at a good price.
Our handyman kills his free time there just getting ideas. It’s kind of like a museum of building techniques and building supplies.

Great resource for run of the mill reclaimed wood and others. I’d say most of the reclaimed wood is for structural purposes, probably not the kind you’d decorate your coffee bar/​restaurant with, but I’m sure the selection differs daily. If you don’t see what you need, you’ll probably find it the next time you come back. Lots of selection of reusable doors, windows

Over the weekend I went to Building Resources for the first time. I was just curious to see what they had and if I would find anything for my garden/​backyard remodeling project. The things I found were AMAZING~ I have to admit, it was a little bit overwhelming (but in a good way !) there were just so many things to look through and I’m the kind of person that likes to take my sweet a** time and see everything. I ended up with wayyyyyy more than I expected to buy– planters and succulents, chickenwire, cement bricks and cinder blocks, pieces of glass and sand, gardening tools, an old vintage rode bike, and a couple weird little gnomes to add to my quirky garden. I am really excited to go back there next weekend and see what else I find. If you’re a really hands on person and loves to build things and «upcycle», you need to make a point to check this place out. You will be happy you did!

I’ve been going to Building Resources for years, and always loved it. The place has evolved, and seems to get even better. Nice folks, good finds, the unique sort of business that does SF proud.

There is a lot of stuff to look through, but it is well organzed. I’ve been able to get reclaimed wood, wood boxes, and random glass items, at reasonable prices. The doors and windows are fun to seach through, but they are not inexpensive. However, if you’re trying to match something old, they may have it.
They didn’t have a lot of any one thing, but if I were redoing a small bathroom, I’d come here to look for tiles, a vanity to refinish, fixtures and mirrors.

I was coming there for years and donated a ton of stuff. It has a good inventory and a great place to browse and guaranteed to find what you want.
Yet, my issue is with prices. Oh maybe some certain individual that likes to assess your financial stability before pulling a price tag out of his ass. That bearded dude (Dan?). The price tag comes out of his mouth and out of nowhere. I can get same deal at Lowe’s few blocks down! And if you try to find another employee to help you he gets pissed. Fuck you!
No idea how he does it. Either looks the way you dressed or the car you drive? You go figure!
Being a good customer and living in the neighborhood. I doubt I come back there.
You lose a customer.

My partner and I love it. Better than Urban Ore in Berkeley. Doors, windows, tiles, mosaic glass, planters, ideas on display. And my favorite, old stuff like old tools, parts, projectors, tables, chairs, headboards… Go, u won’t be sorry!

Today was my first time coming here and although the area is a bit sketch I absolutely love this place! It’s a treasure trove of windows, sinks, doors, old tools and other assorted awesome things. Make sure you wear something you don’t mind getting dirty because the property is on dirt and everything has a good dusting of it.
I spotted some great shutters/​doors that I’m gonna go back for once I get a bungie cord but walked out with a large portion of antique looking knobs, screws, and small shutters for 20 $. Not a bad deal. Would definitely recommend this place to anyone looking to be handy but be prepared to haggle for larger items.

I’d been looking for cheap sources of material for a large art project and found this place through the very helpful links provided on the SCRAP website (
— also a very cool place for cheap arts/​crafts supplies). This place is ‘found’ gold, and I found at least some of what I needed here.
Building Resources specializes in reclaimed construction elements, from doors to ducting. There are slabs of granite and marble, desks, lounge furniture, small plastic terrariums, lumber. Inside, there are big bins full of tumbled sea-​glass of different colors.
Each corner you round in the barely-​organized yard offers new possibilities beyond whatever you actually came there for, and the semi-​active waterfront setting, with trains and concrete trucks trundling though from time to time, is evocative and stimulating.
Go on a sunny day even if you don’t have a reason. It’ll feed your creative beast.

This is a great place to come if you want a random chandelier, a doorknob for your old house, or another hard-​to-​find item you didn’t even know you were looking for.
There’s a neat art space too, so it’s worth a visit if you are just browsing.

This is an outdoor builder’s salvage yard. There are hundreds of doors, windows, sinks, toilets, tiles, etc etc. This is not a place to go if you are looking for inspiration, but rather a place to shop when you know exactly what you need (e.g. 37 7/​8″ inch wide door ideally with 4 panels). I was wary of the ad hoc price setting noted by other reviewers, but many of the items that I looked at had prices on them, doors seemed to be $ 35, a medicine cabinet I looked at was $ 15. I suspect you can also negotiate, particularly if you are making a donation at the same time.

Echoing the sentiment of the others.
— Great place if you’re doing a remodel
— Equally great place if you’re doing a small project
— Friendly and knowledgeable guys
— Good selection for each category of items
— Random finds!
— Easy parking
Bathroom items, doors, windows, glass, metal, wood, interior and exterior. they really have a little bit of everything. Most items are really well organized, but you’ll find unsorted carts here and there (just make sure they aren’t someone else’s shopping cart!).
They take donations 7 days a week, and will give you a receipt for it. As long as it’s something usable and in decent condition, they will most likely take it. There’s a list of items that they cannot accept, so check their site first if you’re unsure. Just like a lot of places like this. things are out in the open, so expect them to be dirty and or covered in water/​dust. Easy fix! Bring some gloves, and happy digging!

So you’ve got this project — art being hung in a diorama made of framed windows — or a kitchen table made from a solid oak door. This is the place. Gentlemen and ladies there are well-​mannered and eager to help you with your source-​material selection. If you like S.C.R.A.P. — this is your place. Ignore the haters who don’t give this place high marks.

This has become one of my favorite places to browse and spend time (as well as to find materials for household projects). Coming here is always a bit like a treasure hunt, and as long as your project parameters are flexible, you’re likely to find something here that will work. It’s also lovely just to stroll around, see all the interesting ways they’ve potted their plants, visit the little koi pond/​fountain, and get inspired for your next project.

Organized dumpster diving!
if you like leaving your projects half to chance and random materials this is perfect. The random knickknacks there might even serve as more inspiration. What? A crate of traffic light lens? Why yes I’d totally clean them up and grid them on my white wall. Buckets of broken colored glass, tile, or mirror sold by the pound! Perfect for coloring terrariums.
For the chaos this place could be it is very well organized. Each materials is divided up by aisles and corners. You could easily spend hours and still not upturn everything.
If you can dream it, you can do it!

Whenever I really like a place, I have a hard time being succinct, so here’s a list.
1. Amazing pretty succulents (not for sale)!
2. A neat rocking couch one of the employees had made.
3. Lovely view of the sewage plant… I kid.
4. Nice, friendly employees.
5. A really pretty, decorated, clean bathroom – cool light fixtures they’ve collected adorn the walls.
6. All kinds of parts for things I couldn’t begin to describe.
7. Doors, windows, furniture.
8. Random finds – like bathroom signs and old traffic lights.
9. Broken glass by the pound in really bright colors.
10. Light fixtures/​covers.
It is definitely worth checking this place out, whether you’re doing a home project, art, or just looking for somewhere to look at succulents/​old shit.

I’ve been coming to this place for a number of years but think I’m done with it. The inventory is good and you can usually find what you need for any project. My problem is with prices, more exactly with price setting policy or the lack thereof.
You ask how much a thing is, you get locked over from head to toe, you get mentally classified on some scale from «struggling artist» to «yuppie», and then the price is named. Maybe this is B.S. but I’ve lately started to feel that I’m being taken advantage of because I look like I can pay a higher price.
If there was a price tag with $X on it, I’d pay it. But if $X comes out of thin air and is suddenly non-​negotiable then I say «fuck this!» — you loose a customer.

Wow. I wasn’t sure what to expect here. Let’s just say, I stuck out like a sore thumb in my pseudo-​high heels and sheik SF garb. But everyone was super nice that worked there. And I have found THE place to purchase reclaimed doors and windows. TONS of selection.
I couldn’t tell you what all the other crap is that they sell. But if you’re doing a remodel, you’ll likely save a ton of dough by stopping by here before buying new.

Eff yes.
Building Resources is next level.
If you are looking for building materials of any kind, B.R. should be your first stop.
I have found everything from wood to plant pots to fasteners, records, windows, lighting and furniture.
I’m about to start shopping for a door and B.R. is the only place I will need to look.
This place is simply the type of spot that everyone should know about.
It’s a not for profit organization that recycles building materials of most all kinds.
Rates are very fair
and
the staff are super kind, knowledgeable and real.
They also tend a beautiful garden and have a great vibe to go along with the builders’ wonderland of possibilities.
Get to know Building Resources.
They get six stars in my book.
