Our Story
Rockdale Building Material Center has been Rockdale’s locally owned and operated source for building materials since 1984, when Wayne and Margie Brinkley purchased the business from Boise Cascade.
After graduating from The University of Houston in 1990, their son Greg moved home and began working with them, and in 1992, Greg and his wife Debbie bought the business. Greg ran it with the help of his parents until 2007, when Debbie left the teaching profession and joined him.
Since the very beginning, our expert staff prides itself on great customer service you simply can’t get in a big box store.
We are proud to be part of this community — Greg and Debbie were both born and raised here, and all three of their children graduated from Rockdale High school.
Since its establishment, Rockdale Building Material Center has been heavily involved with local charities and sports teams, donating to fundraisers and youth sports organizations not only in Rockdale, but also in Milano and Thorndale. Greg has coached several local baseball and softball teams and served as president of the local girls’ softball association, and Debbie has served on the board of the booster club for local school athletics for many years.
We hope you’ll come see the local difference, and we look forward to meeting you.
