When storms hit, contractors buy from whoever has material in stock, not whoever’s cheapest. Here’s why stocking GAF’s Class 4 impact-resistant shingles (Timberline UHDZ and AS II) gives your lumberyard the edge during hail and storm season, plus how BPI keeps you supplied before the next event.
For dealers competing for multi-family business, understanding the James Hardie product system isn’t just helpful. It’s a competitive advantage.
Combine James Hardie fiber cement siding with Tando Composites stone and shake accents into a single exterior system that wins more jobs, simplifies contractor scheduling, and drives sales of both product lines.
The first time a contractor installs TandoStone® or Beach House Shake®, several things happen simultaneously that don’t happen with natural stone or cedar shingles. The job moves faster than expected. The crew doesn’t need a mason. There are no specialty tools to rent, no mortar to mix, and no rainscreen to add to the scope.
When you can tell a contractor, “Give me your materials list and I’ll have the complete project on one truck,” you become a different kind of supplier to them. You’re who they go to start a deck project, knowing they can leave with everything taken care of.
When everything comes from a single source, a single set of eyes can verify that the complete order is correct and compatible before it ships. That’s a meaningful difference in error risk.
