Since 1954 Smede-Son Steel & Building Supply Company has flourished. We have become a name recognized above all others by builders and contractors throughout Southeastern Michigan. Founder, Bud Huyser, instilled in his family and employees high standards of service while keeping up with the changes and demands of both the residential and commercial building markets.

Today, Smede-Son Steel & Building Supply Company has delivery trucks available at each of its four locations throughout Southeastern Michigan. With over 100 different steel beam sizes in stock and a multitude of building supplies, it’s no wonder we pride ourselves on quick, personal, knowledgable service with competitive pricing.

Family Owned and Operated

A second-generation company that started small, on Glendale in Detroit, Smede-Son Steel & Building Supply Company now has a long history embedded in the steel business. Evolving over the years to serve Southeastern Michigan with stores in multiple locations, Smede-Son Steel & Building Supply Company has proved resiliant. As the economy in Michigan has shifted, from all-time lows to glorious revivals, Smede-Son Steel & Building Supply Company has been able to meet the changing demands of commercial and residential building markets alike.

Founded in 1954 by the son and two son-in-laws of Clarence Smedes, the company’s name is a nod to their father, who believed in them. For over 60 years the company has remained in the family. Today, Smede-Son Steel & Building Supply Company is owned and operated by the children of one of the original founders, Bud Huyser.
