    LAKEWOOD, CO, August 15, 2013 /24-7PressRelease/ -- Today, Lakewood-based HomeSphere Inc. announced The Tapco Group, manufacturers of superior-quality interior and exterior building products, will join its growing digital lead-generation and customer loyalty platform, opening up new revenue opportunities for the brand.

The Tapco Group is a premium provider of innovative products engineered with both contractors and homeowners in mind. The company joins more than 70 preferred manufacturers using HomeSphere BRI and its industry-first digital marketing services to connect with a growing network of regional and local builders. Members of HomeSphere's extensive builder network are staged to construct nearly 20 percent of the total new single-family homes forecast in 2013. Nationally, local and regional builders construct 75 percent of current new-build homes.

"Aligning with HomeSphere and its industry-first digital solutions gives us the opportunity introduce our full spectrum of fine quality, authentic and low-maintenance interior and exterior home products to a wider network of local and regional builders," said The Tapco Group's Vice President of Sales Mike Ryan. "We are uniquely well-positioned to serve the revitalized, highly dynamic residential home construction industry."

The Tapco Group offers builders easy-to-install, reliable products that differentiate themselves from the competition. Product lines include Mid-America Siding Components, Kleer Trimboard and Decking, Foundry Siding, InSpire Roofing Products, Atlantic Premium Shutters, Wellcraft Egress Systems, and SturdiMount Fiber Cement Blocks, all engineered to offer both curb appeal and performance.

By connecting the homebuilding universe - including top product manufacturers, builders and service providers - more directly through technology, HomeSphere BRI creates measurable business opportunities for all of its partners. HomeSphere's network of 10,000 privately owned builders uses HomeSphere BRI to gain knowledge of product manufacturers, such as The Tapco Group, and to manage their cash-producing rebates, helping them to improve their bottom line and grow efficiencies through an automated, consolidated solution.

"The Tapco Group is a recognized industry leader," said HomeSphere Vice President of Sales Chris Toth. "As our network of builders learns about the competitive advantages of Tapco's products, our platform will help this great new partner further position its brand for growth and visibility."
