C & R Building Supply - Philadelphia, Pennsylvania

Eric Sims

After about a year being in the Grad hospital area I heard about C&R and decided to stop in to check them out. I was surprised to find that it’s basically a small Home Depot with a paint department and all! They’re only open during the day and seems to service mostly contractors but I have picked up so many random items I needed for different projects without having to run to Columbus Blvd and deal with the HD staff. The staff at C&R knows exactly what they are talking about and have been great guiding me to exactly what I need.

Edit 8/30/2018 - I hadn’t been in for a couple months and stopped in today and I’m just always impressed with the service I receive. As soon as I got in through the interior doors the gentleman who works in paint greeted me and asked if I needed help finding anything, I did and he led me right to it. I got up to the register and the guy behind the counter was pleasant and efficient and I was out the door. Great experience.

My husband and I did a full gut renovation of our South Philly home and Mike Spotts was so helpful through the process in picking out our doors, trim (baseboards, wall molding, door casing) and door hardware. The construction process was very stressful for us but working with Mike made it so much easier. Thank you so much, Mike, for your patience with my *very* specific needs! 😆

Went there for an affordable shelf to install in my small kitchen. Flaco was really nice and helped us figure out exactly what we needed to get it done, and all for only $36. The bar turned out perfectly. We will never go to another supply store as long as we live in philly.

Stay away from this business! How can an employee hit a parked customer's car in broad daylight and then the so-called "boss" is not even humble enough to offer an apology. Very disappointed and will never shop here again!!
Came in hoping to get building materials, left with a banged up trunk instead! If that's what they do a customer's innocently parked car, imagine what they could do with the products being sold. This ranks as the most horrible customer experience in my entire life.
I'll try to contact the owner to discuss this further as my insurance claims and legal processes proceed as this is supposedly a family business, which in an ideal world should treat customers like family. Instead, they treat you even worse than trash. Again, stay away!!!

C&R is your last word in DIY/contractor supply. The selection is beyond impressive and the same can be said for the staff. Flacko especially went out of his way to help my wife and I find what we needed to build our kitchen bar. It's employees like Flacko that ensure a businesses success and longevity.

Attached is a picture of our completed bar, at C&R it was only $36 to purchase everything we needed to complete it. Very affordable.

Went in for Benjamin Moore paint. Saw one of their price tags knocked over so when I went to bend down and fix it for them.. one of their customer service men walked over towards me. Thought he was going to help but instead all he said was “you look really good on your knees” and walked away. If you’re a female and looking to buy paint, hardware, etc. without getting verbally assaulted GO SOMEWHERE ELSE!!

A very safe and efficient place

A friend told me about this place. I came from NJ and was not disappointed. Charmaine P was outstanding. She is extremely knowledgeable and helpful and tried to find ways to save us money even when their prices are already so reasonable. My wife and I can be quite indecisive so Charmaine’s patience couldn’t be better especially when you tack on two children at or under 2 in the middle of everything. I can’t recommend this place enough and Charmaine. Thank you Charmaine!
