James Hardie, the North American leader in exterior design solutions, announces an expansion of its strategic agreement with CBUSA, the nation’s largest group purchasing organization for custom home builders. The new three-year exclusive deal will provide CBUSA’s network of nearly 1,000 custom builders with access to preferred products such as TimberTech, a premium composite and PVC decking and railing brand.
This agreement builds upon a long-standing, exclusive deal for siding that has been in place since 2016. The addition of TimberTech, a brand within the James Hardie portfolio following its acquisition of The AZEK Company, marks a significant milestone in James Hardie’s strategy to become the premier provider of complete exterior solutions.
“This agreement is a powerful testament to the momentum of our integrated business model and our commitment to providing the industry with a comprehensive portfolio of beautiful, durable, and sustainable exterior and outdoor living products,” said Jon Skelly, president and GM, James Hardie Building Products Inc. “Together we are creating solutions to drive growth and delivering unmatched value to builders and homeowners alike.”
CBUSA, with members in 41 markets responsible for over 16,000 housing starts annually, represents a critical segment of the custom home building market. This expanded agreement provides its members with a streamlined offering of best-in-class exterior products.
“James Hardie has been a valued supplier of CBUSA for many years, and we’re excited to build on that success with the addition of TimberTech,” said Brian Pavlick, president of CBUSA. “This agreement brings meaningful value to our builders, expanding their access to market‑leading composite and Advanced PVC decking solutions and strengthening the overall competitiveness of our network.”
By pairing the trusted durability of Hardie siding, the #1 brand of siding in North America, with the premium aesthetics and innovation of TimberTech decking and railing, there is a powerful yet simplified solution for builders–this exclusive deal with CBUSA is a clear choice to bring James Hardie’s all-encompassing portfolio of brands to more trades and homeowners across the country.
