US LBM has reached a definitive agreement to acquire Barrons, a top provider of lumber and building materials to professional builders in the Washington, D.C. metropolitan area.
Founded in 1947, Barrons serves professional builders including remodelers, custom home builders and outdoor living builders with specialty products, such as decking, millwork and special-order items.
Barrons operates two facilities that service the Washington, D.C. metropolitan area, a 6.6-acre property in Gaithersburg, Md. and a 14.7-acre property in Manassas, Va., that include a showroom, warehouse and lumberyard.
Jim Davis, who has led Barrons since 2008, will continue to lead day-to-day operations following completion of the acquisition.
The transaction is expected to close by month’s end, subject to customary closing conditions.
US LBM is the largest privately owned full-line distributor of specialty building materials in the United States.
