Saginaw Surplus was founded out of necessity in 2010 by Patrick Porter, who initially worked as a sales representative for manufacturers supplying home and apartment builders. The downturn of the U.S. housing market in 2009 forced Patrick to rethink his business strategy. He noticed that many manufacturers were struggling with excess inventory due to the slowing demand for new homes, while homeowners were looking to remodel foreclosures. Seizing this opportunity, he started selling surplus doors individually, leveraging online platforms to reach potential customers.
Through hard work and a commitment to helping the community, Patrick was able to create a sustainable business model, ultimately launching Saginaw Surplus. The company quickly made a name for itself by providing high-quality products at fair prices, with a strong emphasis on customer service. Over the years, Saginaw Surplus has expanded its offerings to include a diverse range of doors, catering to both residential and commercial needs. Their inventory includes fiberglass, iron, and wood doors among many others, allowing customers to find the perfect fit for their projects.
In 2016, the leadership transitioned to Patrick's son, Corey, who continued to uphold the company's values and reputation. By 2020, the company moved to a larger warehouse in Haltom City, Texas, further enhancing their operational capacity. Despite these changes, their core mission has remained steady—providing high-quality doors while supporting their local community.
Today, Saginaw Surplus stands as the go-to source for discount doors in the Dallas-Fort Worth area, dedicated to helping remodelers and homeowners save money while improving their living spaces. Their enduring commitment to customer satisfaction and community welfare continues to drive their business as they celebrate over a decade in operation.
