Did you know that you can stock premium exterior siding with beauty AND value?  

Lumberyards face increasing pressure to offer attractive alternatives to traditional materials like natural stone and cedar shakes. These natural materials are beautiful, but they come with steep costs—from material investment and delivery to injury risk and lost time.

Here is a great opportunity to grow your business with TandoStone and Beach House Shake composite siding solutions.

Designed to deliver the natural look of stone and shingles with dramatically lower total procurement costs and product longevity, these innovative products aren’t just a smart buy for your yard—they’re a smarter solution for your contractor customers, too. 

The Total Procurement Cost Advantage for Lumberyards 

Lower Material Investment 

TandoStone and Beach House Shake products are priced significantly lower per square foot than natural stone and cedar. Because they don’t require additional installation components like mortar, adhesives, rainscreens, or lath, your upfront material cost is lower—and your margin potential is higher.

Higher-cost materials in your yard contribute to increased insurance premiums. Stocking Tando Composites products instead will lower insurance costs, protecting your profitability and reducing overhead in day-to-day operations. 

Easier, Safer, and More Efficient to Handle 

Unlike heavy stone pallets or fragile cedar bundles, Tando Composites products ship in lightweight, stackable boxes that are easy to move, store, and protect indoors. Choosing Tando Composites reduces the chance of damage or injury on your lot—lowering insurance premiums and operational risk, including missed work days and workers’ compensation claims. 

Reduced Delivery and Storage Costs 

Tando Composite’s lighter weight means lower transportation costs and no need for cranes or forklifts during delivery. The space-saving packaging also frees up valuable yard space and simplifies jobsite drop-offs for lumberyards and contractors. 

Lower Shrinkage and Risk 

High-value materials like cedar and natural stone are theft-prone and must often be stored outside, where they can degrade. Tando Composites products are easier to secure and far less expensive to replace in the rare event of loss or damage. 

Bottom Line for Lumberyards:

With Tando Composites, you reduce your total procurement cost and your total landed cost—from freight to insurance to shrinkage—while stocking a product that makes you more competitive and more valuable to your customers. 

Why Your Contractors Will Keep Coming Back for Tando Composites 

When you stock TandoStone and Beach House Shake, you’re not just adding another SKU — you’re giving contractors a smarter, more profitable way to work. Here’s why they’ll thank you: 

Lower Total Job Costs 

With Tando Composites, your customers eliminate the need for additional materials, such as mortar, lath, adhesives, or rainscreens. The all-in material cost is lower, and they can purchase everything they need directly from your yard — no specialty sourcing required. 

Faster Installs, More Jobs 

Tando Composites products install like vinyl siding, not masonry. That means no need for skilled masons or heavy equipment. One crew can finish a job in a fraction of the time it takes to install natural stone or cedar, freeing them up for more projects and bigger earnings. Priced competitively with standard vinyl siding, Tando Composites installs 5x faster than natural materials and requires zero maintenance. 

Safer Job Sites, Less Downtime 

Tando Composites’ lightweight panels come packaged in easy-to-handle boxes, reducing labor strain and helping maintain a cleaner, safer job site. By eliminating risks such as heavy lifting, sharp edges, and dust inhalation associated with stone or cedar, Tando helps minimize workers’ compensation claims, reduce lost time, and ensure a more dependable workforce—an essential advantage in today’s labor-constrained market. 

Easier Detail Work, Fewer Callbacks 

Products like TandoStone’s All-Pro Corner System and Beach House Shake’s pre-sized shingle panels eliminate tricky layout work and awkward corner cutting. That translates to faster trim-outs, cleaner installs, and happier homeowners. 

Premium Look, No Premium Headaches 

Your contractors still deliver the high-end curb appeal clients love—but without the unpredictable costs, complex logistics, and ongoing maintenance tied to traditional materials. 

Position Your Yard as a Partner, Not Just a Supplier

By offering Tando Composites, you’re giving contractors a faster, safer, more profitable way to work. And they’ll remember who helped them get it done.
