Beacon Expands its Roofing and Waterproofing Empire: New Locations Bolster National Presence

Beacon, the undisputed leader in specialty roofing distribution, continues its strategic expansion with the grand opening of three new locations. This move further solidifies their commitment to providing exceptional service to both residential and commercial contractors nationwide.

The first jewel in Beacon's crown is a brand new branch in Terrell, Texas. This strategically placed location caters directly to the booming eastern Dallas-Fort Worth market.  "With this addition, we now boast nine locations within the metroplex," says Peter Lippert, Regional Vice President, Texas.

"This offers contractors unparalleled convenience when picking up materials. We understand the importance of efficiency, so for those requiring job-site delivery, our innovative Beacon OTCTM network seamlessly connects our branch inventories and fleet.  This translates to on-time deliveries while minimizing fuel consumption and emissions—a win-win for both contractors and the environment."

But Beacon's reach extends beyond roofing. Recognizing the growing demand for specialty waterproofing solutions, they've unveiled new locations in Everett and Spokane, Washington. These branches boast a comprehensive catalog of waterproofing, glass, and glazing products, specifically designed to meet the needs of specialist contractors.

"Our teams in these locations are not just salespeople," emphasizes Steve Artz, Regional Vice President, Waterproofing West. "They possess the technical expertise to guide customers towards solutions that ensure building resilience and sustainability. This translates to structures built to last, withstanding the elements for years to come."

These strategic additions bring Beacon's total new locations to ten for 2024, further bolstered by four key acquisitions adding 23 branches to their network.  This aggressive expansion underscores Beacon's unwavering commitment to its "Ambition 2025" plan.  "Enhancing customer service through additional locations is a cornerstone of this initiative," explains a company spokesperson.  

"We're proud to not only meet but exceed our revenue and shareholder return targets two years ahead of schedule.  The addition of these new branches demonstrates our unwavering dedication to achieving the full potential of Ambition 2025, ultimately leading to a more robust and well-served customer base."

Beacon's expansion is not just about numbers; it's about a commitment to excellence.  By strategically placing new locations and equipping them with knowledgeable staff, Beacon is solidifying its position as the go-to partner for all things roofing and waterproofing. This move signifies not just growth but a dedication to building a stronger, more sustainable future for the construction industry.
