Kodiak Building Partners Acquires Diamond Home Improvement

Kodiak Building Partners, a Highlands Ranch, Colorado-based building materials distribution acquisition firm, and Diamond Home Improvement (DHI) have announced the acquisition of DHI.

Kodiak’s market reach in the Northwest will be expanded with the acquisition of DHI, which provides building materials and lumber, doors and windows, moulding and millwork, and more.

Diamond Home Improvement is a locally owned and operated home improvement retailer with locations in Klamath Falls and Grants Pass, Oregon. Tim Steiner and his brother Jay founded DHI in 2000 with the goal of providing high-quality service at reasonable prices to Oregon’s building community.

“Tim Steiner built a 22-year track record of success by combining deep industry expertise, longstanding client relationships, and solutions that address local needs,” said Steve Swinney, chief executive officer of Kodiak.

“With this acquisition, we strengthen our ability to serve the Pacific Northwest, expand our capabilities in Southern Oregon, and align ourselves with one of the region’s most highly regarded home improvement companies.”

“Kodiak has been successful in extending its general lumber operations in the Pacific Northwest and has the right focus, assets, and capabilities to realize the full potential of Diamond Home Improvement and its strong market presence,” said Kelly Fox, senior vice president of general lumber at Kodiak.

Through DHI, Tim Steiner built the best team and an industry legacy, and we will continue to support that legacy with local autonomy, customer focus, and building materials innovation.”

Tim Steiner joined his family business, Lumberjack, before founding Diamond Home Improvement, where he developed a love of business and a passion for serving customers and employees in the home improvement industry.

Tim died on October 16, 2022, but his legacy lives on through his company, family, and deep involvement in the Southern Oregon community. Following Tim’s death, John Steiner will become President of DHI.

“My uncle founded the company as a customer-first operation, and joining Kodiak gives us more resources that we can use to better serve the business and people who rely on us,” Diamond Home Improvement general manager John Steiner said.

“His vision of DHI as a premium service for the home improvement industry laid the groundwork for what this company has become today. “Through the future of Diamond Home Improvement, my team and I are committed to embodying his drive for success, generosity, and passion.”
