According to the company, the transaction supports Decks & Docks’ continued growth as a specialty distribution business with the addition of its first Pennsylvania location and the introduction of roofing and siding materials to its product offering.

“We have long been impressed with SWI and the business Eric and Matt have built over the years,” Decks & Docks CEO Shawn Roberts said in a Sept. 8 news release. “Eric, Matt and their colleagues share our commitment to always going the extra mile and doing right by our customers, and the SWI team is a great fit with our team. Their addition to our team further solidifies our position in the Mid-Atlantic and will allow us to better service contractor customers in Pennsylvania.”

“As a family business, we wanted to find a partner who shared our deep commitment to service with integrity, and we have found that with Shawn, Tyler and the entire Decks & Docks team,” Eric and Matthew Schmidt added. “From our first discussions, it was clear the Decks & Docks team also pride themselves on customer service, prompt delivery times and unparalleled product availability. We are excited to work with the Decks & Docks team as we continue to expand our product offering, provide outstanding customer service and remain an employer-of-choice in our community.”
