Old fashioned service, where our customers are known by name, also quality craftsmanship and the entrepreneurial spirit are some of the values on which Standard Builders Supply has built its business since our beginning. While we have grown and improved as the business has evolved over the years, we believe that principles like integrity, quality and loyalty should remain constant. To meet the changing needs of our customers, we continue to grow and expand our services. During the 1970's we began one of the first pre-hung door shops in Salt Lake City. Standard Builders Supply's tradition continues with offering the most advanced technology in door production with the latest in styles and offerings in the door business. Whether it is our in-house Rubicon brand, custom produced door slabs, or offering brands such as ThermaTru, Jeld-Win or Simpson, we can hang any door to your specifications. In August 2006 we introduced a state-of-the-art Truss Facility at our South Salt Lake location. With our focus on quality, which begins with the quality people in our organization, we have already attracted the attention of local contractors for our superior product and ability to take care of roof systems, from the simple to the most advanced in the market today. In October 2006 we opened a satellite location in Spanish Fork to serve our expanding market in the south Utah county area. Standard Builders continues to remain the venerable, locally owned independent supplier to the professional builder where the focus is on earning and maintaining customer loyalty through better service. Standard Builders Supply has a culture of entrepreneurship that attracts the industry's best and brightest to focus us on growing that loyalty for today and tomorrow.

The partners decided to move their headquarter to the original Beehive Building supply site, enlarging it to accommodate a 7,500-square-ffot showroom with an additional 45,000 square feet of warehouse space. As a result of the merger, Standard builders Supply began operating a Hansen affiliate, lakeside Lime and Stone Company, and manufacturing DryMix packaged concrete products, packaging the cement sand and gravel near the Point of the mountain at the south tip of the Salt Lake Valley. 1970 Mike Hansen, son of O.V. Hansen, and Dale Ridd, a long-time employee, both acquire the business as it continues to grow. By 1980 the company employed more than 100 workers and was generating millions of dollars in sales annually. A long way from the days of a shack. 1989 Dale Ridd sold his share of the business to his sons, Vern and Jim Ridd. Vern retired from the business in 1996 and Mike Hansen and Jim Ridd purchased his share of the business. By the end of the 1990's Standard Builders Supply's sales had jumped from millions of dollars to tens of millions of dollars annually. 2001 One of the fastest growing segments of their business was their packaged concrete operation. This highly successful operation attracted the attention of a national cement company, which made an attractive purchase order and acquired the packaged concrete operation in July 2001. This allowed the owners to concentrate their attention on their company's core business of selling product to home builders, which today accounts for about 90% of all revenue. 2006 To continue to serve the professional builder and offering the complete package, a state-of-the-art Truss Manufacturing Facility is built and opened; a welcome service to the contractor market experiencing its second year of record growth in the Wasatch Front Market. With a total operation with over 200 employees, Standard Builders looks to a bright future without forgetting their humble roots and the values that brought them to the presence they are today. 2008 Acquisition of Standard Builders Supply by Sunroc |
