We Know Where Everything Is,
and How to Use It!™
At Rafael Lumber, our departments are staffed by knowledgeable people with years of experience in building and home improvement. Our employees have been with us 10 years on average. Unlike our “big-box” competitors, we'll help you find exactly what what you need, and answer any questions you may have.

Plumbing and Bathroom Fixtures

Rafael is your one stop shop for your remodeling projects and project advice. Undergoing some bathroom repairs?… We probably have what you need. Consider updating the vanity and fixtures, and maybe install one of those low flow toilets to conserve water. If you live in San Rafael it’s an inspection requirement on sale of your home. Check out our line of affordable fixtures and accessories.

Finish Hardware

Rafael Lumber has one of the largest selections of finish hardware IN STOCK. Chances are better than average we can match that door pull you have in your hand, or find it in our catalogs. Do you need some of those doo-dads for running cables through your finished cabinets or desks? We’ve got them, and can sell you the drill bits to make a clean installation. We also carry a superior line of drawer glides in every size.

Power Tools and Accessories

Our new Power Tool Center focuses on tools that contractors need to get the job done. We carry a large selection of power tools in stock, and carry lines for both -owners and contractors. If you would like help in selecting product, or maybe just want a second opinion, our experienced staff will be glad to help.(See Power Tool Center)

Paint & Finishes

Our paint department head is a 22 year veteran! We feature Dutch Boy, Martin Seynour, and Devine paints when you need superb color and ease of application. Our house brands are excellent quality and competitively priced when you need to get the job done. We also carry a full line of Cabot stains and finishes which have long been a favorite of professionals. At Rafael, you’ll find many of your favorite brands of paint and finishing products such as Minwax, Zinsser, and many others. Ask our staff for advice on brushes, rollers and application accessories for your upcoming project.

Electrical

We can help you light those kitchen work areas, and throw some light on those trees in the yard before your next barbecue. At Rafael, we have a large selection of accessory lighting, and conventional electrical supplies to safely integrate it into your home electrical system.
