This comprehensive process, anchored by the National Preferred Partner Survey, evaluates companies in the areas of quality and customer service.
"This past year has presented an unexpected number of challenges for the home building industry," said John Schiegg, Vice President of National Accounts for David Weekley Homes. "At David Weekley Homes, we have been fortunate to have exceptional National Preferred Partners who provided their products and expertise during an unprecedented time.

The National Preferred Partner Survey format was updated in 2020 to a system of two questions with a 1-to-5 rating system for partners and is sent to David Weekley Homes team members that are currently doing business with them in their market. When the Preferred Partners receive their quarterly results, they are shown how they rank amongst National Preferred Partners in their industry as well as the contact information for each David Weekley Homes team member who completed an evaluation for them.
The evaluation process involves a comprehensive system of feedback and discussion that enables David Weekley Homes to measure excellence among all established trade partners and their channel partners. Providers that receive the highest scores throughout the year are presented with the prestigious National Preferred Partners Award.
A total of 140 companies were evaluated this year and 18% percent achieved the designation of National Preferred Partner. Many companies that partner with David Weekley Homes have garnered multiple and consecutive awards. By aligning with companies such as GAF, who has been recognized for excellence in products and services many times, David Weekley Homes is pursuing world-class excellence.
"2020 and 2021 were very unique years," said Schiegg. "Record numbers of home sales, a global pandemic, a major freeze and significant supply chain disruptions have resulted in the perfect storm – demand that far exceeds supply. We are so grateful that National Preferred Partners like GAF have provided their expertise and guidance. They have made it possible for us to continue to provide the best in design, choice and service to our customers, despite the challenges."
James Hardie is another past and current recipient of the National Preferred Partner award in the category for manufacturer partners and continues to prove itself a valued partner.
"From late night calls regarding predictions of rapidly depleted materials to virtual meetings about supply chain modifications, James Hardie, a National Preferred Partner, has really stepped up this year. We truly value all they have done to assist us during these unprecedented times," shared Shiegg.
David Weekley Homes is proud to recognize these National Preferred Partners and is dedicated to building exemplary supply partnerships throughout the home building industry and beyond.
