Freeway Building Materials
Film, television, commercial and photo propmasters have known about and relied on Freeway for a wide range of props, fixtures, building supplies and unusual items. Many film and television productions rely on Freeway for both materials rentals AND post-production liquidation. Call Alejandro at 323-261-8904 with your list of prop and set design needs, and chances are, he has it - or can get it!

Freeway Building Materials specializes in buying and selling building materials, fixtures and rare objects built before 1960. We stock common and hard-to-find objects for sale and rental - objects of superior design, quality and value. Freeway has been in the same Los Angeles location for over 50 years, and has been owned and operated daily by Alejandro Acevedo for over 30 years.

Being in business that long has helped to build an amazing, on-hand stock of doors, windows, bath fixtures, statuary and unique one-of-a-kind objects accumulated from decades of Los Angeles construction, demolition and film/television productions.

The owner is just ridiculous. Even if he got pretty good collection,it doesn't make any sense. He doesn't allow others to search what they need or even stay their for a while to check around. However,he doesn't communicate or listen either. I’m not even sure if he is seriously running this business.

If you are looking for architectural, vintage fixture, doors, windows etc. You will find some treasures to repurpose. I purchased 2 vintage doors. The owner is a character with some good stories to share. He is open to negotiations.

Been going here for many years, but today was the last straw. If you look like you have any money, the owner tries to gouge you. Ended up going to Erics Architectural Salvage LA. They charged a fair price and were pleasant to deal with

Very cool little treasure trove here. Easy to miss but completely worth digging into.

There is a ton of beautiful and unique items. Pretty much anything you need you can find something that will work but it is pretty expensive. And be careful if you afraid of dogs because two very friendly and sweet dogs will follow you around

One part madness, one part, love, a little dirt, little sweat, pinch of elbow grease, dash of magic, baked to perfection in California sun for over 91 years.

This is a classic salvage yard with unique finds hidden everywhere (don't be afraid to dive in). You'll have to DIY rehab almost anything you find here but there are plenty of gems if you don't mind hunting around. The place always looks closed (and sometimes the owner -- who is super nice btw -- is seemingly nowhere to be found) but don't let looks fool you. Watch out for all the cats.
