Gersons Used Building Materials

We bought a beautiful freestanding bath ton and the kind manager, Alex, delivered it to our home. We love our finds at Gersons and are so pleased with their services.

To the many that might consider this business be aware, this is NOT your Big Box store! Therefore, come with your visit knowing that this place is ALL EXTERIOR, sun and rain worn, period. This place shouldn't be expected to come with perfection, anywhere! It is a USED items 'store' per se. With that in mind, some items have reasonably decent prices (you have to look!) and many others are a bit on the top end which dissatisfies many. Take it for what it's worth...I found all employees polite and assistful. I didn't try bargaining but I suppose it's worth a try. Items are somewhat unorganized but if you ask someone, they'll guide you to a specific area if they've got it. Not a bad place by no means, but prices could be a tad better IMO. I enjoyed my visit, and now know the majority of their stock. It's worth a visit just so you know their inventory since there aren't many of these store around town per se.

A wide variety of used and new building supplies. I will say they do have a lot of room, but they're organization is hit and miss in finding items. You can find the area, but sometimes you have to sort through items. Also outside items are getting torn down by the weather. I would have made this a 4 star, but the prices are not special. They get donations or something from the Home Depot and/or Lowes and other stores donated to this location which works with Beacon Foundation. I checked many prices at the regular stores and the prices were maybe 10-20% less, but often not enough to make a decision to buy second hand from the retail store. I am really disappointed that they do not clear out the damaged items and they don't have better pricing. They need to be more aggressive about discounting items that stay on the shelf or damaged. Walked through the whole place and found lots of things, but nothing worth the price.

Absolutely great finds some perfectly quirky for me! Ron is a great guy and an honest business man.

Buyer beware!I went in to look for a set of French doors for my granddaughter's house. The landscapers managed to break the glass with a weed eater throwing a rock into it.I found a set that was in fair (at best), and paid $162.93 for them. Got them home and realized they were 2 inches too tall.I took them back less than 2 hours later; didn't even take them out of my van.The girl said, "Sorry, we don't give refunds -- store credit, only." I informed them that no where on the receipt does it say, "No refunds". Long story short, one of the employees helped me find a pair that was the correct size. Same price. Got it home and realized the peg at the bottom that is used to lock the one side in place was missing. It was the only set they had, so I'm stuck with it. It's not like I shop at Gerson's each week and a "store credit" would be of any use to me.The employee who helped me find the door was a nice guy and explained to me how Gerson's examines the doors before putting them up for sale. I don't believe he intentionally lied, but I should have looked at them closer. The glass, in tack, and the size was my paramount concern. I didn't think to look at the stop at the bottom of the door. They have a sign, behind the counter and behind the plexiglass that puts a glare on their 8"X11" paper sign that says, "No refunds". Unless you're in the correct spot, you won't see it. It should be prominently displayed (with a caveat that says, "Buyer beware!"

We go there fairly often when shopping for home goods/repairs. The past few times we have left empty handed due to the prices. I know this isn't home depot or Lowes, but gosh, the prices could come down a bit. I actually "challenged" them on one price and was told they purchase and they have to pass some of the cost to purchasers. I like to wander, but miss the good deals they used to have.

I want to give more stars but I'm torn. In one hand, loose building materials at low prices SOUNDS good but then you get there. The prices are generally too high, the workers are nice but it's understaffed, and the selection depends on the day if the week. It's not quite. Candy store but you can get deals if you're patient. I got a nice saw my reclaimed wood for shelving for a little over $30 so I can't complain but a lot of the stuff is way overpriced.

If you get excited about paying retail prices for janky junk, THIS IS YOUR DREAM STORE! Every time I go in there it is a huge disappointment. Save your time and money.

Very poor run business. Manager beyond rude. Advertises price then changes it when you get there. Plus the store is an absolute mess.

If your looking for a deal this ain't it! Overpriced stuff rotting in the sun. You'd think if the prices were a little more fair maybe you'd leave with something but end up shaking your head at the price
