What Steves & Sons does

Steves & Sons, Inc. is a six-generation, family-owned U.S. manufacturer of interior and exterior doors, founded in 1866 in San Antonio, Texas. The company operates seven manufacturing facilities across five states (Texas, Tennessee, Virginia, Utah, and Georgia) with annual production capacity exceeding 10 million doors and a workforce of approximately 1,400 employees. Its product portfolio spans interior lines (molded panel, Ultra HDF, wood panel, glass panel, flush, and bifold doors) and exterior lines (Element steel, Reliant smooth fiberglass, Regency textured fiberglass, and Legacy smooth fiberglass), incorporating LVL cores, HDF veneer, polyurethane insulation, closed-cell polystyrene, and fire-rated construction. Since 1955, hollow core door manufacturing has been the company's exclusive strategic focus, complemented by a pre-finishing capability added in 2011.

Revenue is generated through one-time sales of doors across a multi-tier distribution network: an exclusive retail partnership with The Home Depot (in-store and HomeDepot.com), millwork jobbers, lumberyards, building suppliers, and direct relationships with builders, contractors, remodelers, architects, and homeowners. Pricing is quote-based and not publicly disclosed. Steves & Sons holds a Build America, Buy America Act certification, NAUF, LEED, Energy Star, Florida Building Code, Texas TDI, and SCS recycled content certifications, positioning it to serve code-sensitive and federally funded residential construction projects.
