We went to the broke and poor surplus business to find some stuff we needed.and a young fellow come out to help us but then got bored with us I guess because he walked off and never come back while I was still looking for stuff. I didnt bother buying anything. I went up front to find out if they had what I needed.and some other stuff. the other guy was very friendly and told us some other places to go to find what were looking for, why the dark hair thin guy was very rude to us didnt say a word. like we werent there, Ive been there before many times and Ill well still go there but I will not be dealing with dark haired guy. That is why a four-star a five star. I would have gave it a two maybe a three star but the guy the bigger guy behind the counter was very nice.
It was alright, probably have what u need, wasnt for the broke and poor though 🧐
We had a great experience with Blake throughout our kitchen remodel. He went above and beyond to make sure everything was perfect. His expertise and attention to detail helped make everything go smoothly and efficiently. Blake made sure we were taken care of through every step of the process and followed up to make sure we were happy with how everything turned out. We truly cant say enough about how amazing working with Blake and his team was and we will definitely be using them again soon for other projects. THANK YOU!!!
I dont know what happened to the staff at this Broke & Poor location.....I lived in Lakeland, Florida from 2011 to 2013 and I shopped here all the time .....they were very helpful and knowledgeable.......but fast forward to 2021 and I needed some supplies for my new home I bought and I went there......well needless to say I will NEVER shop here again.The person they have at the register barely knows how to operate the front of a store and the workers that I dealt with were not nice at all.I was looking for a certain type of screw and from the distance of at least 5ft. he could tell me he doesnt have them and has never had them.I am not sure if it is the fact that I am a woman 🤔 or they are just RUDE.I remember the staff being alot friendlier when I shopped here 7 years ago.So sorry Broke &Poor ....you lost my business !So if your are a woman looking for supplies for your home .....SHOP ELSEWERE.There is another mobile home supply place in Lakeland...I have been there both years ago and recently and they are alot nicer. I only went to Broke & Poor because it is closer to where I live. But I guess the extra miles I need to drive are worth it for Good customer service.
I walked in Broke and came out Poor..but happy with service and prices..scratch & dent window worked just fine on my rental property..theyre are always helpful
No Doors, We stopped there to get prices for exterior doors. They said they did not have any and would need to order. They do not carry them any more. when they showed me the prices of a few I liked, their prices were 300 bucks more then Home depot and no delivery.
Had good prices on some of their product customer service was very rude and disrespectful make sure you do your research before going here
All the supplies you need for moblie homes.
Used to be great prices, now same as big box stores.
A go to for all my aluminum enclosure repairs
Large selection of hard to find materials for manufactured homes.
Broke & Poor Surplus is just a name like, Lowes or Walmart.It is not, in My opinion a discount supply store.Asked about a stand up shower assembly! Was quoted$500.00 price.Does this sound like a broke & poor store to you?
Great place to go for all your mobile home needs. Reasonable prices and helpful staff.
Phenomenal service and expertise. My moms new kitchen looks wonderful. (Lee Youmans) Blake and team did a outstanding job. Zack and the cabient installer couldnt have done a better job. Jordan did a re0eall good job on granite also. Thanks Team. We highly recommend your services.
Over priced. Nothing like it used to be. Now i remember why I stopped driving out there
Great place to get discounted home and mobile home parts, go here and talk to the crtious staff, if you have questions they can answer them quickly and get you back on your way
I have to admit, I was a little concerned when I arrived at this store looking for cabinets for my home renovation as it is not a typical home improvement store. We had a suggestion from a friend that the prices and quality were good. Blake helped us every step of the way with design options. He truely did an amazing job and made our home look amazing. We are so happy that we checked this place out and found Blake! We ended up saving thousands, while getting better quality and better design than other larger stores in the area.
Has just about everything for your mobile home.
They do a awesome job getting your and loading it for you
Always the BEST PLACE to get mobile home improvement and building supplies !!!!!Really appreciated the curbside service !!!
Went in to find used window part.They didnt have it but the owner tried his best to find me one and gave me options.
Service and prices were great! Definitely will recommend!
Only place to go if you are working on most any kind of mobile home
If they got it or can get it, it will be less than the big box stores. I just want a picture window to replace one window. The Best deal the Big box stores could do was $890 and Broke and poor was able to order it for $199, with double pan, Argon gas filled also. WOW what a difference in price.Chris that works at Broke and Poor is a real help there.
A great resource for rehabbers and homeowners. They have new and used building materials including cabinetry windows doors hardware, bathroom surrounds, etc... Chris was extremely helpful and courteous with my wife who was shopping for some rehabbing supplies for me. They dont talk down to a novice in the business and offer a lot of helpful advise. Every flipper and rehabber and homeowner should check them before the big box stores because they are vastly cheaper on several items on my rehabbing list and have mobile home parts you cant find there.
Great experience, super helpful!!
My parents owned a business in town thats in the same line of work and just trying to help the small business guy
Awesome place and customer service!
It doesnt look like much but they have a lot of stuff in there. I remodeled my RV mostly with things purchased there. Windows, doors, wood panels, sinks, toilet bowls, they have it all and at a great price too.If they dont have exactly what you are looking for, they may be able to order it for you or direct you to the best place to purchase it locally.
I purchased some steps with the understanding that they would be delivered. It was relayed to me that delivery is a side business of the sales person that helped me and not a part of the transaction with the store. They were to be delivered the day of purchase. Here it is 9:30pm the next day. No phone call no steps. Had I known they would not be delivered I’d have gone elsewhere. Buyer be where.
To expensive for a set of stairs( 4 )300.00 over priced
Kind, compassionate, understanding. Wonderful people.
Incredible prices on some new items such as doors and windows. Good prices on used items such as old doors, bathroom features, And kitchen items. Service is average. They have alot of junk lying around.
Helpful staff. Good selection of material and repair parts. They usually have what youre looking for to make improvements and/or repairs to mobile/manufactured homes plus screen room construction material (aluminum framing and pan roofing, screen, screws, caulking, and doors).
I showed up here on the Saturday before Irma was to arrive (she blew through Sunday evening). The guys here took the time to sell me the last of their plywood, even though they were closed, instead of heading home to their families. Whats more, when they found out that I had to wait for my neighbor with a trailer (I suggested they just stack it beside my car and go home) they suck around until my trailer came, because they didnt want to leave me on the side of the road with my young son and a pile of plywood (more valuable than a pile of gold at that point).Beyond being good guys, they have all kinds of building supplies, and seems like great pricing. Ill be heading back there when I need to re-do my kitchen!
Great place to buy items to repair your hurricane damaged home! Windows are much cheaper and storm proof just like large manufactures windows.
Had the supplies we needed. But 2 men there werent really interested in helping us out. I had to come and ask for help and interrupt their conversation.
Have almost everything needed for a mobile home, they are overpriced. Same items are cheaper at Hynes Discount in Zephurhills about 15 miles north on 39.
Great place to shop for supply
Great Customer Service always. Open 6 days a week. Really cool place to shop.
We love our broke and poor. We have then purchasing different items from there for many years
Had exactly what I needed, will go back again
Have a look bnb of the materials you need for mobile homes. As well as a decent price on most iteams.
They changed and improved the way I was going to do it thru good customer service
There were lots and lots of doors, all types and all sizes, plus bath and shower enclosures in many sizes and configurations, plumbing fixtures and more. Didnt find what we were looking for but we will return before the next home improvement project.
Have had the very best experience with Blake at Broke & Poor. He certainly knows the business and can answer any question you have. The place isnt fancy, but quality product is more important to me.
Always helpful and they go the extra mile. lots of good stuff to find and they are good people.
Looks like a good place to buy remodeling & repair parts for mobile homes. Unfortunately, they did not have what I needed.
You can find anything for he needs
Quite excellent. They had exactly the product I needed to order.
Nice customer service reasonable prices good selection of merchandise
Like a habitat for humanity but doe mobile homes. Staff super friendly and helpful
This store was able to meet my needs. Plenty of parts for older trailer house. 😜
Friendly service! Found a nice vintage window for my project at a great price!
I just got stuff to remolde my bathroom and everything I got is amazing I love it all . And If i ever need anything for my house i go there to get it .
Not as good as it used to be, they had used but good supplies. Now its mostly new stuff and high prices
Always very helpful, if you cant find it here probably it doesnt exist.
Great place to buy replacement needs for Manufactured Homes
This is an interesting place. It has many household construction items much cheaper than the box stores. Some used, some new. I ordered a custom 48 swinging screen door for $159.37. It should arrive in about 2 weeks. I will update this post after the door arrives.Update: The door arrived in the time they said. Pros- The quality of the door is good. Cons - The door came unscreened. The screen spline they supplied was useless. Had to go to Crowder Bros for better spline.
I have done business with Broke and Poor for several years. They are my go to place for Windows, doors, vinyl siding / trim.
Great customer service, great owner and great prices. Thank you, we will be back to get more.
Good place if you live in a modular home and need something
I think these guys are great. As a handyman, i have often called on them for all kinds of various construction items. Ive purchased things like corrugated roofing panels, bathroom remodels, and ive also brought ecclictic clients that want to search for something different. Ive always had great customer service over the phone. Sometimes brainstorming projects and scopes to see what kind of bargains i could find here and discounts i can offer to my customers.If your a diyer like me its a really cool place to check out. You may not always come away with what you are looking for but they are worth a quick stop to check out.
Very helpful
Good deals
2 months ago bought a valve stem for a shower went to buy another 1 today now gotta pay 70.00 for the whole thing because supposably they dont sell just the stems. Ive give them my last penny! This place is useless and lie to improve sales
Great place but never know what you may find sometimes worth the trip sometimes not depending what your looking for
We just finished building our home, and purchased our windows, doors, knobs, cabinets, and more from Broke & Poor! They were friendly, professional and sold quality product that we can’t wait to enjoy!
Definitely have a bunch of stuff for building. But service was horrible. Waited 10 minutes just to get a price on an item. Never got the price, just left.
If you cant get it here you cant get it nowhere great people super hard to find parts for mobile homes and older homes
A little high on the prices
The only thing I can say about this place are a little pricey on team if you own a mobile home anything else I give him three stars up if a mom and pop store more or less
Great place for trailer supplies at reasonable prices.
Good for specialized things but every day goods (ie. Things you could find at Lowes) are expensive.
Walked through to see if they had what we were looking for. Nobody to help. Oh well
These guys acted like it wad a pain to go outside to price an item. Could care less if you bought it or not. Terrible service. Would not ever go back.
Awesome experience. Very helpful and priced right.
This place is pretty awesome and the staff is very nice.
Helpful employees and a very cool store for anyone repairing an RV
This is THE place in Central Florida to buy hard-to-find mobile home parts!
Ask for Chris. He takes good care of his clients.
They have all you need
Been around for a while, and for good reason!
Awesome place to get parts. At a cheap rate.
Would go there for when needed some material for remolding or just a replacement for manufacturer homes.
All ways helpful. Great people
Great stuff and gery affordable
Youll be broke and poor by the time you leave.
If you need trailer parts they have them
Nice place cheap i they really help you
They have most things you need for repairs on mobile homes, but they are priced sorta high I think.
Prices were very hard. Was kinda disappointed for my first visit
Cheesy, cheap place to buy mobile home stuff. Lots of stuff to look at.
Great service and friendly people
Wonderful place staff is very helpful
Such a dump
No kind of discounts not even for military or senior. Not real impressed with prices either!
Great selection on trailer supplies
