An important note: busy times vs hold times vs best time to call

The busiest times are when the most people are calling this Build.com phone number (least busy times have fewer people calling). This high call volume does not necessarily mean that you will have a long hold time when you call.

When we refer to the best time to call, we are referring to the optimal combination of lower call volume and shorter wait times.

More Ways to Contact Build.com Customer Service
There are of course other ways to contact Build.com customer service besides the phone. Below we list the best ones, by medium.
If phone-based customer service is not available, or the wait times are long, many people prefer chat as a next-best option. Some even prefer it to calling on the phone. Luckily, Build.com provides this option.
As a last, sometimes only, resort- Build.com customer service can be accessed through their website. This can entail digging through help articles before finding a form and "being allowed" to submit a problem to their team, and rarely leads to a real-time conversation, which is why GetHuman does not recommend this unless it's the only way.
