Builders FirstSource Earns FSC Certification

DALLAS, Sept. 23, 2009 (GLOBE NEWSWIRE) -- Builders FirstSource, Inc.
(Nasdaq:BLDR) announced today that it has received the Forest Stewardship
Council (FSC) Chain of Custody Certification (Certificate Number --
SGS-COC-006654) for all of its distribution center locations through the
Scientific Certification Systems (SCS). This certification enables Builders
FirstSource to sell FSC certified material on a broker basis. "Our purchasing
group worked diligently to meet the strict Chain of Custody requirements to
ensure that FSC labeled products come from sources which practice responsible
forestry. We are excited with the opportunity this presents to our company,
builder customers and homeowners. The ability to provide FSC certified material
is another value added service that builders and contractors have come to
expect from Builders FirstSource," stated Matt Liska, VP of Sales.

Liska also added, "Green building products and programs are rapidly being
incorporated into the fabric of today's construction practices and FSC material
is supported by all the major environmental groups. FSC certified products can
be used to earn points in the NAHB's National Green Building Program, the
Leadership in Energy and Environmental Design (LEED) program as well as other
green building programs. The FSC distinction highlights Builders FirstSource's
ongoing commitment to green building."

FSC is a certification system that provides internationally recognized
standard-setting, trademark assurance and accreditation services to companies,
organizations, and communities interested in responsible forestry. The FSC
label provides a credible link between responsible production and consumption
of forest products, enabling consumers and businesses to make purchasing
decisions that benefit people and the environment as well as providing ongoing
business value.
