The team at C&R Buildings Supplys Paint Desk went above and beyond to help us! Our son just moved and the whole family pitched in. Painting indoors & exterior. We were working with chips of paint and hoping for specific paints in 5 gallon containers - plus 1 gallon cans too. Included, showing up near closing on our first trip in. Jose & Selina were great - they stayed late and tried hard to match all of our requests. The job got done, the place looks great. Tip o the cap to C&R and their Paint Team!

Great showroom with gorgeous fixtures, tiles, etc. Airs Appliances is top- notch. Personnel are nice, helpful, professional. I have bought all of my appliances from Marvin for over 20 years.Their delivery service is another matter. Its based up in East Orange NJ (????). Deliverers & installers are two separate crews. They are expensive. Right hand doesnt know what the left hand is doing. Left me stuck without washer/dryer for 2+ weeks. I had to do all the leg work to find out where they were (NOT in my laundry room).

Always have what I need whenever I go there. Very helpful friendly staff. Good pricing. Some things will blow your mind. Much different from those other guys.

Im sorry I didnt get his name but this employee came over to assist us and went above and beyond to help us with flooring. He even took out his phone to help us locate something. Truly an asset to the store.

That was the fastest I ever grabbed 40 sheets of sheet rock In and out very quickly

This place is a very well known supply house staff are always helping you with anything you need and basically also help you with product use very fair prices and guarantee all there product and equipment

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.

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.

C&R is an excellent place to buy supplies, the inventory is good the prices are great and the customer service is great. Individuals here are knowledgeable and friendly, you are also in and out depending on you needs

Prices are decent. As a retail customer they have poor customer service. Every time I goto the showroom it seems that Im bothering them at first. Most of the time I have to stand in front of them for 5 mins to get them to acknowledge me.

Place is kind of a dump and the staff are rude and unhelpful. We stopped doing business with them a while ago due to unreasonably high prices.

Great selection of supplies, basically anything you could ever want. It is basically a slightly smaller home depot/lowes at a very convenient location. Similar to other reviews on here, I was put off by the employees/customer service. There was no offer of assistance at any point (which is fine, Im at least competent at these stores), but I imagine for others that could be tough. I found what I needed, and while shopping the entire time I could hear the guy at the paint counter talking really loud on his cell phone... legit think I heard him say (Hey mom, hows the snow shoveling). Legit seems rude. The guy I checked out with was nice, but quiet, and had to wait a little while in line on a Monday morning because there were contractors in front of me buying a lot.Anyways, I will be coming back here in the future whenever Im working on things in my house.

Very good it has all you need to get your project done!

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. Its 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.

Good selection of supplies. Attendant behind the paint counter was INCREDIBLY rude. Makes me want to take my business elsewhere. Aside from generally rude staff, this is a good place to get supplies.

C & R Building supply always has everything your looking for. If you dont see it, someone is always ready to help. Respectful customer service, not like the disrespectful workers at home depot.

Terrible, terrible customer service and complete lack of communication. Began kitchen renovation at the end of July, finally received all cabinets 2 days before Thanksgiving. While supply chain issues due to Covid were understandable, their complete and total inability to communicate or provide any customer service throughout the project exacerbated the delays. They also refused to let me talk to a manager to provide any feedback. Would NOT recommend.

Wouldve given 5 stars but wasnt too crazy about their customer service

Price was really great nice sink for my client

I can always find exactly what I need. Great Place.

I bought a really nice bathroom vanity from here, but the service was not great. I ordered it 7 months ago and was told that for an extra $100 I could have it the following week. Otherwise, since It would be coming from New York, they wait until there is enough orders from that vendor to fill a truck - so no guess on how long Id have to wait in order to skip the extra fee. Makes sense. I was already paying a lot and I wasnt in a rush. I called after about 4 months and talked to the sales guy, still not enough orders to fill the truck. After 7 months I finally decided that Id pay the $100 to get the sink, so I left him a message, didnt hear back in a few days and left another message, still no call back. I went into the store and he called the vendor to check the status, and they told him that they already shipped it and it should be at C&R. He checked and it was out back. No explanation, no oops sorry about that. Remembering that they stocked a ton of faucets, I asked to change the finish from nickel to chrome, he said no problem. My plumber goes to pick it up today and they dont have the chrome faucet, so I go back to nickel - no big deal, but did he even reserve it? No explanation. Good news is that I saved $100, bad news is that they are really incompetence & lazy there.

Very good place reasonable price and nice people

Nice selection but terrible customer service. No or delayed call backs and email replies - lack of follow through.

Always a pleasure shopping there. Every employee is helpful, they always have what you need, they are priced right in line with everyone else.

I love this place overall but one thing i wanna say is that its the cleanest supply house youll ever go in . Bathrooms are spotless and always accessible.

The paint department is outstanding! Ordering a closet door here was a game-changer for me... saved about $100 compared to the big-box stores. Also, check out the showroom across the lot! Friendly staff there ready to answer all your questions and so many products are in stock.

Good spot for material in South Philly

Very convenient hardware and building supplies store with knowledgeable staff.

Great customer service, flexible delivery options, lots of pro tools and supplies for stone work

Always find what I like here and they are a local company.

Called in for stairs quotation. Person who picked up the call and called me later for measurement both had so much attitude and sounded they didn’t any more business. The measuring guy John wanted to meet at the property for him to ask me questions and measuring stairs. There is a phone and architect plans for a reason. He hung up on me when I said I will call him back. THEH DONT NEED ANYMORE BUSINESS!!

An excellent mash-up of a local hardware store and a builders supply house without the big guy attitude. Complete supply of Simpson Strongtie products for deck or house building. About every type of fastener imaginable. Excellent paint supplies. Plumbing, v good and if you cant find it theres Ferguson nearby. Electrical selection is limited. Great selection of Milwaukee tools and accessories. Open on Saturday.

Great store.

Great place for building supplies.

Cheaper than home depot, by far faster service, easy to get in and out, all the staff is very knowledgeable and very helpful, they have tons of high-end and designer material in the showrooms ( kitchen cabinets, hardwood flooring, bathroom vanities and tubs ), and they deliver for free. As a contractor I love them they make my job so much easier.

Excellent customer service. They were able to order the custom door I needed without a problem. I will be visiting in the future for my construction needs.

The sales staff despite obviously being very busy got us through in no time flat and was extremely personable making sure our experience was flawless from beginning to end.

Ive had mixed luck finding parts for household repairs, and the prices are so so at best. They do have supplies for people doing major work on a house, but Ive never been to C&R with that purpose. For day to day stuff, I would recommend Rittenhouse Hardware - I have had much better experiences there.

Friendly knowledgeable staff with a great selection of items

I was there yesterday and they were so confident that they have what I want but obviously they were saying you close to 5 so come back tomorrow and we will get you what you want. So I drove from New Jersey 1 hour and when I walk into the store they told me we dont have vanity that you picked yesterday waste 4 hours of my life

Wide variety of tools if all sorts and trades. Friendly and knowledgeable staff

Great place with excellent prices! Right behind Lincoln Square Apartments.

Need a crazy size door. Had something that should work but mech doin job chose another route. But I think c&r is a great place

Customer service at C&R is mostly nonexistent. To purchase Andersen products here expect to be traumatized by fossils who act as if customers are threats to their personal survival.

No cash at 49th street not cool and illegal

Helpful staff, they have most of what i usually need without going to the big box stores for general needs. Great prices on lumber.

Nice selection of stuff you cant get at HD. Lumber is pricey. 2x4 8 is $3.75 vs $2.66 at HD for comparison.

Nice place every helpful worker are very friendly I like there services and Thanks for be there dont know what I would Do .Thank again

Interviewed, didnt even get a call back for a decision one way or another

They love me and I love then we are family always since 2008.

At least you wait 1 hour

Great store, but infuriating to try to reach by telephone. The phone rings and rings and no one, ever, ever picks it up! The guy who prices out windows and doors is so slow -- took six weeks to get pricing for three custom commercial windows and two commercial glass doors.

Place has everything you will need. Prices are great service is great I always use John Versace for all my needs email or call hes always there

Best building supply and paint store in center city area by far 🛠️🔩

Mikes the best!!

Good variety of building supplies to avoid trekking to a big box store.

One star is for the guy who deals with the doors (Rich?). He has ZERO customer service skills. Completely disrespectful.

Great place!!

Better tgan Home Depot.... Lil more pricey for somethings. But ALWAYS sales and Quality is ALOT BETTER!!!!! Lowes is same as Home Depot

If I were you I wont buy no kind of power tools off them go to Home Depot go to Lowes because something goes wrong Im waiting 3 months for a battery man more than 3 months okay they tell you dont buy at Home Depot they make them cheaper thats why they sell them cheaper theyre the same thing they go to Home Depot and buy them and they put them in their store okay if I would have bought it at Home Depot and the battery went and when he had at one month $240 for a Makita combo set impact driver and the screw gun well one of the batteries didnt even have in a month wouldnt take a charge for the back to them at the receipt they took the battery they lost it and they said they found it 10 people in that place okay Im going to go to Home Depot Im going to buy a battery I dont go to give them the receipt and theyre going to pay me for the battery I had enough its three and a half months they had that that battery dont buy anything there go to Home Depot picture Lumber out take your time its cheaper you got to spend a little more time but I wont buy nothing there and I wont buy nothing there and I used to everything there no more no more if they dont have my battery by tomorrow or Monday thats it no more

Quality products and great customer service💯

A good selection of quality materials keeps me coming back.

Make sure you dont have any questions when dealing with showroom counter staff. They are cranky, rude and unhelpful.

Great friendly service

Good, too expensive, and their checkout is set up in a very stupid fashion.

Great service and prices, easy and fast

Great place, one stop shop.

Good people, good help.

Superb Doors and Great people!

Store is kind of ok, but the showroom people are unhelpful and they acting like you bother them when you there

Good people.good price.

Everything you could need for an expert interior paint project.

If you dont want the typical stuff that they sell in home depot then this is your place

Great place to buy anything

Great supply.

Very helpful and great!!!

Is good place!!

Great service!!!

They have everything the others have plus more.

Great prices!

Nice environment

Everything you need

Very good merchandise

Excellent service

Good place you find everything low prices although the quality more or less

The service is good in addition to the fact that there are the most used materials within the traditional construction, as well as the prices are better than in the large hardware stores, but the most important thing is that heavy materials are loaded onto your vehicle.

Very good accessible prices
