Resource Building Materials

What a fun rock yard. Lots of great stuff to choose from. I could spend the whole day here looking at their inventory. Very nice people here. Very helpful, allowing us to walk through their entire place and choose what we like without any pressure.

During a pretty large backyard construction project, I visited almost every stone yard and building place in the IE. Thompson’s was a circus, Sepulveda people were plain rude, and Resource was fantastic.
The three individuals at Resource helped me a great deal and were very patient with me and my family as we tried to decide on stone for a wall and pavers for patio.
I was given several samples for FREE (unlike Sepulveda who took my license and credit card and charged me $ 17 bucks) to take home to put against the other materials I was using.
Resource has several models on site, so you can actually see the stone/​pavers/​material.
When I finally decided on what I wanted to use (used Orco Pietra in Tuscany), I called around to compare prices and Resource was actually lower than the other stores as well. Their price per square foot was higher than other stores, but the bottom line price was lower (other stores had misc fees on top of the price per square foot).
My contractors were impressed with Resource– with the materials, their helpfulness, and the speed at which we were able to get everything delivered.
I highly recommend Resource and next time I do a project, I won’t mess around at all the other stone places around.

The sign in the window says «Open to the Public». They may be open but they sure don’t provide any service.
Talk about a wasted trip to this store. My wife & I decided to expand our flagstone patio so we took a sample of our stone and drove to Beaumont from Yucaipa to check out their selection. We walked into the store and there was no one around. Then we noticed a guy moving come containers on a hand truck at the rear of the store. He ignored us so I thought he was just some guy doing a delivery. After wandering around the store for a few minutes, the guy walked passed us pushing the hand ruck and I noticed he was wearing a shirt that said «Resource Building Materials» on the front. I asked if they were closed and he said «nope» and keep walking. I intercepted him as he ambled towards the sales counter, showed him my stone and asked if they had anything like it. He glanced at it and said «It might be Arizona. Go out in the yard and the yard guy will help you find it.»
No «Hello», no «Welcome to Resource Building Materials», no «How can I help you?», no nothin’. He wasn’t actually rude but bored, disinterested and a little annoyed that we had bothered him.
I asked my wife, «Are we done here?» and she said that since we drove out here, let’s check out what they’ve got. So we went out in the yard and waited for the yard guy to finish moving some empty pallets around with his fork lift. And we waited and waited and waited. The yard guy looked at us as he drove him fork lift into the building and disappeared. And we waited and waited. Finally, it dawned on us that maybe the yard guy wasn’t in a hurry to help us.
So we decided that Resource Building Materials didn’t want our money or our business or the business of our friends or any of the companies with which we do business and we left.
The drive to Whitewater Rock is about ½ hour longer but there we know we will get good service and a cheaper price. The delivery charge will be a little more but they will appreciate our business, unlike this outfit
