Shade with Style and Quality since 1982!
Richmond Building Supplies has been a trusted name in the building industry for over 50 years. Founded in 1966 by three local builders, the company initially operated out of an old house on Vulcan Way, servicing the needs of builders and developers in Richmond and south Vancouver. Over the years, the business has grown and expanded, with numerous additions to the facilities, including a major renovation and expansion of the showroom in 2002 and upgrades to the door plant and equipment. Today, Richmond Building Supplies employs over 30 people and serves a large and loyal customer base of primarily custom single-family home builders, as well as contractors working on smaller renovations and large-scale multi-family developments.

Customer Service and Product Selection
Richmond Building Supplies has received praise for their helpful staff, particularly those at the back of the store, who provided excellent service to customers looking for specific products. The staff at the back helped customers locate the items they needed and directed them to the front for pricing.
However, there have been issues with the front staff, as they have been less helpful and even ignored customers. One customer waited five minutes to be acknowledged, and when they showed a photo of the baluster they were looking for, they were told to try another company.
Product Quality and Pricing
The store offers a wide selection of building materials, including uncommon items that are hard to find in other stores. The prices are reasonable, even for walk-in customers, and are often significantly lower than those at big-box stores.
Ordering and Delivery
Richmond Building Supplies has been praised for their ordering and delivery services. They are known for being reliable and efficient, with orders ready for pickup quickly. Their staff has also been helpful in assisting customers with sourcing specific designs, such as balusters.
Overall Experience
Overall, Richmond Building Supplies has received mixed reviews. While the staff at the back of the store has been praised for their helpfulness, the front staff has been criticized for their lack of service. The store offers a great selection of building materials at reasonable prices, making it a good option for contractors and walk-in customers alike.
