Decks & Docks, a portfolio company of CCMP Growth, announced the acquisition of J&W Lumber, a Southern California supplier of outdoor building materials. The deal, disclosed without financial terms, adds a regional player to Decks & Docks’ composite decking and outdoor‑living product lineup. The deal fits Decks & Docks’ plan to grow West Coast coverage.

Founded in 1958, J&W Lumber has built a reputation for serving contractors and retailers across the Greater Los Angeles area. Retaining founder Clyde Jennings preserves continuity while Decks & Docks, headquartered in Clearwater, Florida, leverages its specialty distribution network to cross‑sell products. The acquisition broadens the Florida‑based firm’s geographic reach beyond its traditional Sun‑belt markets.

The move underscores a trend of consolidation in the outdoor‑living sector, where private‑equity‑backed distributors seek scale to negotiate better pricing with composite manufacturers. By adding J&W’s Southern California footprint, Decks & Docks now serves a wider customer base and can offer a more integrated supply chain, and strengthen its pricing power immediately.
