Tucson's Largest Selection of Building Materials
Gersons Building Materials was founded in the 1970s by the Gerson family, initially operating from a location near the University of Arizona. Starting as a demolition business, the company transitioned into selling reclaimed materials and expanded its inventory to include doors, paint, windows, lumber, plumbing fixtures, and unique salvaged items. After two decades at 1811 S. Park, the business relocated to a larger facility at 4726 S. Country Club in 2013, doubling its space and offering a two-acre yard for inventory. While no longer in demolition, Gersons continues to source materials from the public and liquidation channels, emphasizing sustainability through reuse. The company prides itself on offering exceptional value, knowledgeable staff, and a diverse selection of building supplies.Our team combines decades of industry experience with a commitment to customer service, ensuring clients find quality products at competitive prices. We specialize in both common construction materials and rare, one-of-a-kind finds, catering to homeowners, contractors, and DIY enthusiasts. Our bilingual staff serves Tucson's community in English and Spanish, fostering inclusivity and accessibility. With over 50 years of combined experience, our team maintains rigorous standards for product quality and customer satisfaction. Today, Gersons remains a trusted local resource for building materials, blending tradition with innovation in every transaction.
