They save you $. They have a good supply. They are kind but not nice. Know what you need, know your measurements, save some money. They will give you some good suggestions occasionally. They are very busy though. You have to know what you need. They are not like a walmart, They are a supply store. If you know what you want, you will enjoy the experience and saving $. If you don't know what you want, you will be frustrated. There is no handholding while you make your decisions. Have cash or check ready. You don't go there to shop, you go there to get something and leave. I like them because I know what they are and how they do business. read more

We were warned, so now I am warning you: If you are a snowflake, easily offended, get grossed out by really horrible manners avoid this place and go spend 50% more at a place that will lick your boots as you spend that cash. IF you know what you need, have your measurements, and cash or check ONLY ready to go, go to Jack's. They have the supply to meet your demand and at huge savings. Something had to give to keep their prices down, so they cut out all pleasantries and manners. However, those things were never part of the rules of supply and demand. Go buy your plywood, exterior and interior doors, roofing, and whatever else you need for your project, suck it up and endure the ever present latent dislike of their fellow men, save a ton of cash, then go find a safe place to have yourself a little cry if you must. Wipe your eyes with the woobie woven of all that money you just saved and BUILD THAT PROJECT! read more

These guys are awesome. They spent over an hour trying to help me match some flooring. And also drove an hour to build a shop for me and my wife. I'm so glad I used them. read more

Jack's Building Supply - Building Supplies Near Me - Fort Smith, Arkansas

I paid $725 for this dog house... yes... it is a dog house. Somebody cut ALL of the siding SHORT, but slapped it on there anyway instead of doing it right. What is the point of weather resistant siding if you leave gaps for rain to get in on EVERY surface??? Jack's Buildings in Van Buren, Arkansas told me I should finish it myself. I told them I would if they will either provide supplies (caulking, matching stripping and nails) or reimburse me for cost of same. They declined to spend $30 or so or provide wholesale products from their business to allow me to finish the building without spending more of my own money, so... now they get $Million worth of FREE honest publicity, and we get to go to small claims court. I've been hi-Jacked. Don't be like me. Buy your building somewhere else! read more
