About Freeway Building Materials

Freeway Building Materials is a treasure trove for anyone involved in historic home restoration. The business boasts a vast inventory, offering everything from windows and doors to sinks and hardware, making it a must-visit for enthusiasts. Customers appreciate the owner for his helpfulness and knowledge, often finding exactly what they need with his guidance. Many have built long-term relationships with him over years of visits, recognizing that while his demeanor may not be overly friendly, the quality of the materials is what truly matters. Although some items may be priced higher, buyers often feel that the quality justifies the cost. The store operates on limited hours, only open from 8 AM to 12 PM daily, which has led to missed business opportunities. Customers note that the merchandise could benefit from more regular cleaning. For those dedicated to restoring early 20th-century homes, Freeway Building Materials offers high-quality pieces that require care but are well worth the investment.

    Tons of inventory for our historic home. Great prices. Solid communication. Must visit! Windows, sashes, doors, doorknobs, all hardware, lamps, tables, sinks. They have it all. Old school LA home inventory

    I found the owner to be helpful, knowledgeable. I found exactly what I was looking for with his guidance. I have worked with him and found what I needed several times over many years. Pleasant experience.

    Alejandro is a businessman who knows what he has, and he has a LOT. Most reviews I read about him concern his attitude. I've been going to FBM for over 30 years and have a great relationship with him! Not that he's all sugar and spice, mind you- He is who he is, but I go there for the materials, not friendship - I've never been disappointed with the purchases I've made, and have always come away with my needs met- His prices may be high at times, but any restorer who finds exactly what he or she is looking for will pay to get it
