Sheridan Building Supply

Still the best for old, historic houses as well as everyday repairs. Great glass prices — they cut a 10×12 piece for 60% less than Art Board. For real cabinetmakers, they have a good selection of Japanese kanna planes and old style tools. Unbelievable prices. Unfortunately there doesn’t appear to be anyone in the family who will take over. Go while you can.

Love them! The window broke in our 80-​year-​old house and dedicated glass houses told me they didn’t make glass that thin anymore. Except that the replacement glass *has* to be that thin, otherwise the counterbalance system won’t work properly.
Sheridan Building not only stocked the correct size but had it at a really reasonable price.
If you love big box hardware stores such as Home Depot and Lowe’s, then these guys probably aren’t for you. They’re the way most hardware stores used to be: owned, run, and staffed by people who know their stock and who can answer answer your questions intelligently.
While it’s true that the behind the counter area hasn’t changed in the last 20 years and appears to be total confusion, and they still write out invoices by hand, they’ll also never get hit by computer hackers like «modern» retailers Target and Home Depot. I hope they never change.

This place is amazing. Great prices, run by a super old school couple, very friendly and helpful.
The glass part of my framed art broke in the mail :(. I took the frame here and the guy stopped what he was doing and found and cut the replacement glass in less than ten minutes.

If you remember Kilgo’s, Sheridan Building Supply is like Kilgo’s but with even lower prices. According to Dad, the shop has looked the same for at least 40 years and he loves it. Says it’s like going on a treasure hunt!
My recommendation: don’t rush. If you don’t see what you are looking for, ask. Be patient, and be respectful. It could pay off not only by you being able to find something you can’t find elsewhere, but sold at a lower price too. That’s been the case for me!

I give two stars for being completely resolved to not selling out and becoming a corporate business…
BUT! Come on guys… at least clean up the mess behind the counter, get a POS system and stop writing hand written tickets, and get someone below the age of 90 to help me out when I come in…
Is this a front for the mafia in Hawaii? How do these guys compete with the likes of Home Depot and City Mill? Must be the location cause I still go there sometimes… Sometimes I will flip them more cash then I need to just so I don’t have to pull my hair when aunty writes up the hand written ticket…
