David Weekley Homes, one of the nation’s largest privately held homebuilders, has announced its 2021 National Preferred Partner winners, and Uponor North America (Uponor) was one of 24 companies out of 150 to receive the prestigious honor. This is Uponor’s 8th consecutive year as a David Weekley Homes National Preferred Partner.

The recognition comes from the David Weekley Homes Annual National Preferred Partners Survey Program, which began in 2004 to evaluate field and manufacturing partners on their customer service and the quality of their products.

“Congratulations to Uponor for being named a David Weekley Homes National Preferred Partner. We are so grateful to them for being a strong partner and helping us navigate the uncharted waters of this past year,” says John Schiegg, vice president, supply chain, David Weekley Homes. “Our reputation has been built on providing our homebuyers with a quality product and a positive customer service experience. As a National Preferred Partner, Uponor has played a critical role in helping us acquire and maintain that reputation.”

Schiegg goes on to state that while the past year presented an unexpected number of challenges for the homebuilding industry, David Weekley Homes was fortunate to have these exceptional National Preferred Partners who provided their products and services to help the company navigate obstacles and continue delivering a high-quality product to their homebuyers.

Uponor, which provides PEX plumbing and fire safety systems to David Weekley Homes, began participating in the National Preferred Partner Survey in 2014 and has received the recognition every year since. The survey is sent to David Weekley Homes team members currently doing business with the manufacturers in their market.

“We are honored to be receiving this recognition for the eighth year in a row,” says Carl Hines, national builder sales manager, Uponor. “David Weekley Homes has a strong commitment to providing their homebuyers with world-class products and service. Their pursuit of excellence closely aligns with Uponor’s dedication to enhancing our own customers’ experiences and moving the building industry forward.”
