Still run by the family that started it

Cobb Building Materials has been part of the Eastside for nearly eighty years, through three generations of the same family. We're not the biggest store in San Antonio — we're just the one that's been here the longest, and the one that still knows your name.

Customer service is our whole business model. If we don't carry what you need, we'll point you toward someone who does.

1946

Mr. and Mrs. Cobb open the business out of a small home with a shed on San Antonio's Eastside.

1983

The store expands into the 2,600 sq. ft. building it still occupies today, at 520 N New Braunfels Ave.

Today

Third-generation family ownership, seven departments, and counter services the big-box stores don't offer.
