Answers to common questions about J&B Materials
At J&B Materials, we believe in keeping our residential and commercial construction customers throughout California and in Hawaii informed. Here’s what else you should know:
What is your service area?
J&B Materials offers full service and delivery within a ~100-mile radius from our yard locations in California (El Cajon, El Centro, Escondido, Palm Desert, Paramount, Perris, Pomona, Sacramento) and Hawaii (Honolulu).
How are your crews trained?
We train and certify all J&B operators in-house, so they are prepared to safely deliver materials to your jobsite. We hold weekly training sessions on safety for all employees, and we even offer a safety incentive benefit program for our stockers and warehousemen.
What type of fleet do you have?
Like our fellow GMS companies, J&B Materials commands a delivery fleet of expertly maintained vehicles, including flatbed trucks, semi-tractors with trailers and more.
In total, the J&B fleet includes more than 100 pieces of equipment, including some of the most innovative material handling equipment in CA and HI.
Is there a truck near me?
J&B Materials serves construction customers in big cities, small towns, and rural locations across California and in Hawaii. Our fleet is dispatched from our yards in CA and HI and we offer delivery service, including after hours. So yes, chances are there is a truck near you!
Do you offer delivery outside of standard business hours?
Yes. If you need commercial construction jobsite delivery for your California or Hawaii construction projects before or after business hours, or on weekends, our crews can do that too. J&B Materials is dedicated to going the extra mile to provide excellent customer service.
Do you offer commercial deliveries?
Our expert staff are fully trained for delivery to commercial construction sites in California and Hawaii. We can deliver your materials using walk ups, walk downs, elevator roll-ins, buck hoists, and high-rise cranes. Our delivery fleet is modern and well maintained, with the capacity to deliver your materials when and where you need them.
Do you perform site inspections?
Yes. J&B Materials regularly performs pre- and post-delivery inspections of jobsites to check safety, stocking conditions, equipment, and quality control.
Does J&B Materials deliver to residential sites?
Yes. We use off-road drywall carts for sand and grass, and we can pre-deliver your drywall before your window installation if you need them. J&B Materials can also perform on-site delivery access evaluations.
Can you do a walk up, walk down, or hand up at a residential site?
Yes. For a small additional charge, our expert staff can provide this value-added service to residential construction customers across California and in Hawaii.
Can you special order a product for me?
Yes. J&B Materials can order many specialty products like Fry Reglet aluminum trim, colored ceiling tiles, FRP panels and accessories, and a variety of tools and fasteners. If you need an item that you don’t see at one of our yards or on the website, let us know and we’ll help get it for you.
Can you help me with my product warranty?
Absolutely! Our expert staff is happy to assist you with manufacturer warranty issues and manufacturer representation when necessary. At J&B Materials, we want you to be completely satisfied with your purchases, and our service.
What types of steel framing do you carry?
J&B Materials stocks 25 gauge to 16 gauge steel framing in a variety of lengths. We also offer full manufacturer support for all technical and engineering aspects of our steel framing and accessories.
Is J&B Materials OSHA compliant?
Yes. We believe nothing is so important that it can’t be done safely. J&B Materials is committed to full compliance with OSHA and DOT laws and regulations, and we conduct regular jobsite visits to check for crew compliance.
Can I pick up an order myself at a yard?
Absolutely! Local construction customers can “will call” orders in advance, or they can visit our yards to speak directly with our expert staff about specific needs. If you don’t see the tool or product you need, we will work with you to special order it.
