Partner with BPI
Compete on Value, Not Just Price
Offer your contractor customers exclusive cash rewards, certifications, and business-building tools that drive loyalty to your lumberyard.
We've turned manufacturer programs into the dealer's competitive advantage. BPI bridges the gap between lumber dealers and contractor loyalty programs, giving you tools to differentiate your yard and build relationships that survive pricing pressure.
The benefits of BPI’s Partner Program work together to strengthen your competitive position:
Help Contractors Earn Money on Every Purchase
Your contractor customers can access manufacturer cash-back programs, rebates, and volume incentives on products they’re already buying. When contractors discover they earn more by purchasing through your yard, loyalty follows naturally.
Offer Certifications That Set Contractors Apart
Give your customers access to exclusive training programs and certifications that differentiate them from competitors. Certified contractors gain premium pricing advantages, enhanced warranty protection, and first access to new products—all reasons to stay loyal to your lumberyard.
Become the Connection Contractors Need
As a BPI partner dealer, you’re part of a trusted network that understands contractor requirements. You’ll have the inventory depth, delivery reliability, and manufacturer support to keep contractors coming back instead of shopping around.
Provide Business Growth Resources
Through BPI’s manufacturer partnerships, you can offer your contractor customers lead generation programs, marketing co-op opportunities, and business-building tools that help them scale their operations and win more projects—making your yard essential to their success.
GAF - Roofing Rewards Program
Help Your Contractors Earn Cash Back on Every GAF Purchase
Your contractor customers can earn 0.5-1.0% cash back on all GAF purchases when certified. The certification process is straightforward. Contractors provide basic business information, and GAF handles enrollment. BPI is happy to facilitate the connection.
What This Means for Your Lumberyard:
Get Started: When roofers discover they can earn cash back on products they’re already buying, your yard becomes their preferred supplier.
When you partner with BPI, we’ll train your team on GAF’s program, provide marketing materials for your store, and support you in enrolling contractor customers—turning GAF purchases into a loyalty driver for your lumber yard.
James Hardie - Builder Advantage Program
Rebates Per Home + Price Protection for Your Contractor Customers
James Hardie’s contractor programs deliver substantial rebates on home projects, plus fixed pricing protection for calendar-year multifamily contracts. BPI stocks 16 colors and primer for immediate availability.
What This Means for Your Lumberyard:
Why BPI Dealers Win: When contractors buy direct from James Hardie, they lose flexibility. You offer same-day stock availability, emergency fulfillment, and local support that keeps projects moving. When the factory ships the wrong color, you’re the hero who swaps it out immediately.
When you partner with BPI, we’ll help you educate contractors about James Hardie’s rebate programs and show them why purchasing through your yard delivers advantages they can’t get buying direct.
