Our recent experience ordering 4 doors for a renovation project could have been easy. Zeke was helpful, pleasant, polite, punctual for a home visit to measure and place the order. Four doors were delivered with the molding placed on the wrong side of the door. We contacted Zeke and he admitted that it was their mistake and apologized. The doors had to be returned to the shop and additional molding placed on the correct side of the doors . This held up the contractor and crew. The project could not be completed. I spoke with Gus, a manager. He said there was nothing they could do except put us first on a list to have the problem rectified. It took one week for the doors to be delivered to us, with the corrections made. This situation created undo stress. There was no financial compensation for the inconvenience and aggravation. We did not ask for any compensation, just for the doors to be done promptly. They should have been done correctly in the first place. We will not do business with them again. Unfortunately, I don't know of any similar business in the Boca area. read more

Great work crew, some of the people management doesn't care, especially the "GM" Manny. Trucks always broke down, if you're a driver, you'll be driving in trucks with no A.C., you'll get worked like a Hebrew slave for barely nothing, they'll constantly lie to you about money to keep you around. The product is good, but if you're looking for a job, please skip this place, it's a circus. If you're a driver, and they're not giving you $25 an hour minimum, don't sign up. If I could give 0 stars I would I think zero is still to much read more

Terrible customer service. The sales rep I worked with is lazy and incompetent. It is frustrating working with them. They don't pick up the phone and then don't even check to make sure it's the right order. Pushed us back a month and zero acknowledgement. They didn't even check to see if they make the doors we ordered. They need to respect their customers time and money and give better attention and service. You cannot trust them with your time and money read more

Great experience- Sue R was easy to work with and made the process really simple. Highly recommend her and the company

Thank you, Sue Reyes for all your help with our recent orders for the Biltmore Hotel in Coral Gables. We can always count on you for a quick response and knowledgeable input to all of our questions. Always a pleasure working with you, we'll keep coming back :) read more

Smith & Deshields - Building Supplies Near Me - Boca Raton, Florida

See all

One and a half stars for Smith and DeShields?? No way! They are awesome! We used them for crown molding and baseboards on a recent renovation and they were fantastic. Far better than working with Home Depot or Lowes and zero headaches. Our order was fairly priced, delivered on time and all of the items were in great shape. I couldn't be happier with the service we received. I would definitely recommend Smith and DeShields if you're doing any kind of renovation or home improvement. read more

I had a door hardware problem from a door I bought 10 years ago. Bill Marin, the hardware manager, came out to my home and made some adjustments and ordered a part I needed. His service and willingness to take care of me was outstanding, this is the best service I have experienced in a long time. You're awesome Bill!!! Patrick read more

I love these guys! We use them to order a lot of stuff for a construction business they are very reliable and helpful. Anything you need usually they can get in a timely manner! read more

TERRIBLE customer service. Salesperson had no idea of their products. Another potential customer was also waiting. We both walked out disappointed. Go elsewhere. read more

After waiting months for Lowes to deliver 3 doors I finally canceled the order and went to S&D and ordered the doors again. I met with Bill the Hardware Manager knowing exactly what I wanted. When the doors arrived in only 8 weeks, not only were they the correct models, but also the correct sizes, styles, colors, weatherstripping colors, sill, sill colors, and sill weatherstripping colors that I wanted. Thanks Bill ! read more

this is 2024, smith and deshields is under a new owner. customer service has improved drastically.. sales people are alot more helpful. they carry the best selection of trim, doors and hardware then anyone in the area. also a new hardware manager that is very knowledgeable, 20 plus years of installation and product knowledge read more

Customers beware! I'm very disappointed with the lack of customer service, I put in an order for moldings and once I counted them after I left I was short over 100ft of material, when I called and went in to discuss with the manager they said they would check the cameras and count. And to such surprise they won't take responsibility for their mistake, And considering I'm not the only person who has had issues with this place according to all the bad reviews, you should beware before doing any business with this place! read more

Bill came by and replaced 3 door handles quickly and you can tell that he knows what he's doing.

terrible experience. called to get information on getting all new doors. the salesman was so rude and said they're busy and they don't even do the installs. he literally pushed me away. he made an effort to NOT get my business. what kind of sales reps are you hiring? it only took him 3 minutes to turn down easily $5,000 worth of business. can't believe they even hired this guy. absolute trash. I've been in sales for a decade. truly shocking behavior. if management can pull the call recording I suggest you do. I called on Feb 3 at 8 am. read more

Smith and Deshields is a fantastic company .We have used them continuously for years. Sure they may have some labor problems like all of us contractors . 44 years in this area and in the building industry you will always find a few sour grapes. read more

If you like being talked down to, or paying thousands of dollars for a front door system that doesn't work - this is your place. They sold us a door that was warped, and then refused to deliver a replacement door even though it was fully paid for. If you are using a contractor - be warned: they could care less about you (who's actually paying for it) and will do whatever the contractor says, because he sends them business. Nightmare experience and we still can't use our front door nearly a year after we paid for it. If you like taking chances with your money - good luck! read more

I placed my order for baseboards they took my money. They said we will hold your inventory until you would like it released. A few weeks later I called to have my items delivered. They said they sold it! I then said to immediately get me something else so they called me back and got me a new supply from another location promise for delivery in three days. They then call me and say it was sold. They have fnew owners do not shop at the store they are unethical! read more

Amazing selection. FREE delivery! I love this place! We use them quite often for customers. Our salesman Rodney Green is as nice as can be. Thanks as always We will be back soon!!!!! read more

Went to S&D to inquire about a new door and a door lock for another as well as some repairs to other items. John came to my house on a scheduled appt to look at everything I needed done and to give me an estimate. He ghosted me?! He never called me back. Never gave me a quote. Nothing. Spent an hour at my house, left and never heard anything back. FIND A PLACE THAT CARES. These guys obviously don't read more

I called Monday and spoke to Wendy telling her I need 15 interior doors and asked for a quote. I was told she will call me in the afternoon. I called her tuesday and was told she will get back to me that day. I called Wednesday night. Left a message. I emailed Thursday. I called Saturday to speak to someone else. I was told I had to talk to Wendy that she started the quote. I said ok last chance. they said she will definately call me back today. No call and they now closed. I'm done Wendy. I suggest they find a new sales person. Im going to a new company. read more

Horrible service. Never return calls. I wanted the outside door knobs quickly so the salesman said I had only a few choices for quick ship with Baldwin. Supposed to be 2 weeks....a month later I get only some of the knobs! WTH!!!! And they all have different keys! What kind of business is this? No service what so ever! UGGH! read more

Sales rep. Scott Ashley, ordered my doors with only a rough estimate of the measurements provided by me, the coustomer. Did not confirm the measurements, ordered doors that are a couple inches too bid and will not replace doors with correct size. States I can order another set! I found this strange as other vendors ie. Windows took my measurements and presented to my house to confirm measurements. I was told not necessary, "we only make the doors not install so we dont measure" when i called again, Scott was out on a site visit measuring doors!!! Scam!! read more

I purchased mirrored doors from Smith and DeShields which are an inferior product. They are suggesting to me that because they were custom ordered there is not much they can do. Meanwhile the frame around the mirror (the mirror actually acts as the door panel btw) began falling off and it is now unusable. Mike (the manager) says he is looking into it to see what the manufacturer can do, but this is already 2 months later after I made them aware of the situation. Rob (fr Boca Raton) read more

This company has the worst customer experience ever. DO NOT BUY from them, they secretly code everything on their invoice as CUSTOM, when it's not and that's there way of getting away with a NO RETURN POLICY at all, even if it's their fault or things come damaged They recommended a barn door solution for our new home, we spent thousands on the door and hardware. They did not communicate with us on what backing was needed to hold the door, they cut the doors too short and when we came back to them they complete washed their hands of it and would not take any of the hardware back, even though it wasn't custom. Their sales person Robin comes over as nice during the sales process, but as soon as you give them the money, they wash their hands and offer no assistance and no help, and are extremely rude. You can order all of what they offer online through Wayfair which has an amazing return policy. Stay away from this company, it will cost you thousands and you will have no customer support and no ability to return anything. read more

Nice selection but make sure you don't need anything returned... took our laundry room cabinet hardware in for new hardware... salesman measured and we found a new design we liked... unfortunately, the salesman measured our center-to-center hardware incorrectly (such a simple task) so the hardware we received didn't work...we returned for credit and even though their salesman errored, they said we would have to wait for them to receive a credit from their supplier before we could receive our credit...these were not special order items...totally stock....UNBELIEVABLE...Hardware was returned March 4 and we just received our credit on JUNE 6... that is not my idea of a company I want to do business with again....EVER! read more

I recently purchased a front door from this nightmare of a place. Overall I must say the customer service is by far the worst I've ever experienced. . The sales man I ordered the door with, ordered the door backwards. Instead of a left hand swing I got a right.. After 2 hours on the phone with the sales man who continued to argue with me, he tells me he lost the order sheet and his notes (all of my information).. It took me a good 15 phone calls before I got anywhere with these people and every time they would tell me the same thing.. "Let me speak to my manager" or "my manager isn't around can I get back to you" only to never hear back from anyone I called. It's one thing to order the door wrong but almost everyoneI talked to was combative and did nothing but argue with me..A smith and desheilds employee (Brian) came to my house after we learned the door was ordered wrong and got in my face yelling at me. After about a week of no one calling me back and being yelled at i decided to try and reach Daniel DeSheild to explain the situation and hopefully resolve it. Of course i couldnt get intouch with him and instead i got refered back to Brain . IM DISGUSTED A COMPANY SUCH AS S&D WOULD EVER HAVE SUCH RUDE, DISRESPECTFUL, ARROGENT PEOPLE REPRESENTING THEM. its a multi million dollar company making a fus over ordering a silly door jam and having a professional install it.. its been over 2 months now and i finally have my door installed. And as for the company smith and deshield hired to install my door. the owner/manager of the company called me to curse me out and verbally assulted me. The best part is every time you're on hold you get to hear recordings about how trustworthy and professional S&D is.. BULLSHIT read more

We Spent approximately $3k on doors and baseboards. Purchased one door with frosted glass and the smooth side is on the wrong side of the door which was never communicated with me in the store. My salesman only went over sizes and swings and that is all. When I called on it I was told I signed the sales slip, basically my problem not theirs and I could by a new door slab which is basically the whole cost of what I originally paid. Needless to say even asking for a quote for the new slab they've never provided me one and it took me multiple follow ups with them to even get to that point. They DON'T return your calls, at least my salesman didn't. Then we purchase 2 standard bi-fold louver doors that you could buy right off the floor at Home depot and one doesn't quite fit in the opening we thought it would fit in. Mind you we never opened the packaging but apparently all doors purchased through them are non-refundable even the louver door which was not a custom order. So we are having to eat $110 on one of those doors too. Not to mention there were a lot of flaws on the rest of the doors, required a lot of sanding, etc. read more
