Stupid Be prepared for the most ridiculous setup any company could conceive. Drive to the design center, pick out the stones you like, then drive to a completely different building down the street to pay for them, then drive back to the design center to pick up your stones. WHAT??? How would this be acceptable at any other business? Do they not have the technology to take a payment where all the actual supplies are??? Too bad for me I couldn't make it to the payment center before closing. Too bad for them they've lost a cust... read more

Mrs. Huge place, lots to look at. VERY expensive. They have several locations, but can't seem to beat the prices found at Double Ds in Norco on aggregate. Also more expensive than Lowe's or even Home Depot. Brick, fountains, etc. are also more expensive. One would think with their quantity buying, they could beat the small town guys. Cheaper to shop locally. Problem with service here, as well. Unless you're looking to spend $50,000 for massive project, regular homeowners are ignored or dealt with in a "you're wasting my time... read more

The Best Place to Shop for Your Home I have shopped at Thompsons in Orange for many years, but the store in Fontana beats them all. I am happy with the service I get and the garden center has great prices and friendly people. I send my customers there and they always thank me for sending them to such a great place to pick out materials.

A great place to get ideas and shop This is a wonderful place to get ideas. If they had problems in the past they seem to be resolving them. I find the staff (garden center) helpful and full of ideas. I know the pricing is great,so what more can I say, but a wonderful destination point.

Thompson Building Materials in Fontana, CA The short of it - the inside staff is great, the outside garden staff is horrible! 1.We bought brick for a fireplace. The inside staff was knowledgeable and helpful. The people that take you out to look at the brick were okay. 2. We went back to buy some small yard statues. The manager in the garden area was rude and not helpful. They get the lowest rating possible!

Thompson Building Materials I love this place. They have building materials, water fountains and different pottery available. Plants for landscaping and BBq grills. They have some wonderful displays to give you ideas. Highly recommend.

good store my husband buys all of his building materials here. They have good fast service and the material prices are reasonable. Whenever he had to exchange or return he had no problems.

DL This has been a hit or miss experience shopping for construction items for remodeling our home. I have had good service to horrible. Once I was deliberately overlooked because I am a woman and talked about in Spanish in my presence. They were pretty shocked when they found out I knew what they were saying. Parking can be difficult but they have a great yard filled with brick, tile and rock. Just take your husband or male friend. Better yet ask for the manager.

Thompson Building Materials We needed to find outdoor stones and look for water fountains and we were told by a friend of this place. When we got there we found everything on our own. No one came to offer any help the whole time we were there. We had many questions and had to look for someone to help. When we finally found someone he took us on a cart to the mason area where there were a lot of outdoor stones. He left and never came back. We couldn't believe the lack of service. We would not ever go back.
