Every year, the BUILDER Brand Use Study investigates which manufacturers builders across the country turn to the most, and ranks the companies based on a number of factors, including the brand’s familiarity, the quality of products, and how many builders cite the company as their “most used brand.” The study focuses on 51 categories of the home, from structure to finishes and everything in between. In the following chart, we present the top brand in each of those 51 categories.
