About Big R

Our Story

Big R Metals is a Certified Women Owned Small Business, ran and operated by Tanja Ralich. Open since 2012, Big R Metals has not stopped developing in inventory and consumers! Tanja first started her metal journey while working for a different metal supplier in the Sacramento area, but when that business closed down she took the tools and knowledge that she gained, started her own business and never looked back.

What has empowered our growth is being able to help everyone's large and small projects, by allowing all our customers to have no cut to size minimums, special ordering, and by having a vast selection of remnants available to choose from.

What Our Customers Say

Autur Mokrushin

" This is a great local metal shop! I came in to get an aluminum pipe and I also got two pieces of aluminum sheet that were cut to size for me from the remnants they had. The staff were friendly and helpful and Bill has a good sense of humor! I will definitely be back for future metal purchases!"

Chuck Mackarness

"A large variety of stock and cut-off metals, excellent cut to size and service beyond expectations!"

Bill Justice

"Great place! Lots to choose from at a fair price."

Matt Langford

"I needed a small piece of brass flat bar to finish a project. Big R metals had exactly what I needed and even offered to special order a different size if I required it. She was extremely friendly and cut my piece to my exact dimensions. Great customer service."

Don Me

"Not only long stock but a great selection of remnants."
