The agreement to acquire SRS was announced on March 28, 2024.

"SRS is an excellent fit for The Home Depot – it's both complementary and additive to our growth," said Ted Decker, chair, president and CEO. "Their ability to quickly build leadership positions in each of their specialty trade verticals is a testament to the team's strong vision, leadership, culture and execution. SRS's outstanding customer service, capabilities, and expertise will help us drive value for our customers, associates and shareholders, and we're excited to welcome the SRS team to The Home Depot."

The acquisition will increase the company's total addressable market to approximately $1 trillion, an increase of approximately $50 billion.
