C.J. Horner
Oldest ready mix concrete business in state
In addition to being the oldest ready mix concrete business in Arkansas, C.J. Horner Co., in its 111th year, showcases a wide variety of its windows, siding, stone and vinyl products in a virtual tour to give customers an idea of what the finished product will look like before they even buy it. “We have done vinyl windows for 22 years and are proud to have new samples with varying glass combinations and even new exterior paint color options. It is a very customer friendly area for people to visit and ask questions and see real life examples of the quality products offered by C.J. Horner Co.,” Rich Horner said.
He added, “Blueprints and photos in magazines sometimes are not enough to convince a customer, but when they have something they can look at and touch, it gives them the whole picture and is a great tool in helping them decide what they want. We have different textures of glass, wood, vinyl and framing.”
And finally, what outdoor setting would be complete without a grill? C.J. Horner Co. is the only dealer in Hot Springs where you can find the PK Grill. We have the best price in a 75-mile radius on the PK Grills and have a complete selection of replacement grills and grates as well as covers and other accessories.
C.J. Horner Co. Inc. was founded in 1907 at the corner of Benton Street, now Convention Boulevard and Elm Street by C.J. Horner. The business originally sold livestock feed, coal and wholesale groceries. Building materials were added in 1915 and ready mix concrete was added in 1939. It is the oldest Ready Mix Concrete Business in Arkansas still owned by the same family, now through four generations.
In 1987, C.J. Horner Co. purchased Valley Lumber Co. and with this purchase added lumber and more building materials to its offerings. The company is located at the corner of Valley Street and Grand Avenue and has been a mainstay in the building industry since the late 1800s. The original C.J. Horner Co. property was subsequently donated to the city to enhance the new Convention Center and Summit Arena. C.J. Horner’s main concrete plant in Hot Springs is located at 1175 Westinghouse Road at the corner of Malvern Avenue and Westinghouse Road. We keep various sizes of landscape gravels including oversize gravel, 1 ¼” washed gravel, crushed stone, and pea gravel. We also have concrete sand and masonry sand as well as rebar and wire mesh.
They also have plants in Hot Springs Village, Malvern, and Arkadelphia. Recently they added a concrete plant in Pearcy, which they hope will reduce their customers’ tail up times and increase their production.
Another product the Horners are excited about is Centurion Stone, which has provided the construction industry high quality cultured stone products for every application possible for almost 43 years. The “close to nature” appearance of Centurion’s wide variety of stone products has made it a favorite of builders and architects worldwide for decades.
Besides the wide variety of lumber and building materials, Horner also has the three top lines of windows: Andersen, Eagle or E Series Andersen, and Weather-Barr.
C.J. Horner Co. stocks a full
line of hardwood lumber and hardwood panels. They have a dedicated outside salesman, Richard Dawson, that can call on cabinet makers and contractors in a 60-mile radius of Hot Springs.
“We have the best inside and outside sales force, along with our service, to help you with your new construction or remodel,” Horner said. “If you’re doing business with us, you know these facts. If not, give us an opportunity to show you what knowledge, service and quality products at great prices can do for you.”
The company is operated by the fourth generation which consists of John, Chris, and Rich Horner.
