                   LESCO ANNOUNCES SECOND QUARTER 2005 RESULTS
           - COMPANY ANNOUNCES AGREEMENT TO SELL SUPPLY CHAIN ASSETS -

CLEVELAND, Ohio - July 27, 2005 - LESCO, Inc. (NASDAQ: LSCO), a leading provider
of products for the professional green and pest control industries, today
announced second quarter and six month results for the period ending June 30,
2005 and the signing of a definitive agreement to sell its supply chain assets
and to enter into a long-term supply agreement with Turf Care Supply Corp., an
affiliate of Platinum Equity, a global acquisition firm based in Los Angeles.

SECOND QUARTER 2005 RESULTS

Net sales for the three months ended June 30, 2005 increased 4.4% to $190.2
million from $182.2 million in the comparable period a year ago. Lawn Care gross
sales grew 9.7% to $154.9 million from $141.2 million in the second quarter of
2004, while Golf gross sales were $37.3 million versus $42.0 million in the same
quarter last year. Total Service Center gross sales increased 12.1% to $142.0
million from $126.7 million, while same-store Service Center sales grew 8.3%.

Gross profit on sales (defined as product margin less distribution costs)
increased to 26.8% of net sales, or $50.9 million, compared to 25.8% of net
sales, or $47.0 million, in the second quarter of 2004.

Product margin was $68.0 million, or 35.8% of net sales, versus $62.3 million,
or 34.2% of net sales, in the same quarter last year, and was driven by better
sell-through on seed and combination products. Distribution expense rose to
$17.1 million, or 9.0% of net sales, from $15.3 million, or 8.4% of net sales,
in the comparable period in 2004, as higher fuel costs, along with the Company's
larger store base and wider network of distribution end points, negatively
impacted year-over-year results.

Michael P. DiMino, President and Chief Executive Officer, stated, "I am pleased
by the solid effort of the entire LESCO team to drive such strong results in our
Service Center and Lawn Care business. Additionally, after fully evaluating
our business model, we believe our greatest opportunity for growth and the
highest level of return to our stakeholders will be achieved



                                       1

                                                                    Exhibit 99.1


through our commitment of capital resources to our Service Centers and
Stores-on-Wheels businesses."

Selling expense was $24.3 million, or 12.8% of net sales, versus $22.9 million,
or 12.6% of net sales, in the second quarter of 2004. Approximately $0.8 million
is attributable to incremental operating costs for Service Centers opened in
2004 and 2005, while $0.5 million is related to new direct marketing
initiatives, severance costs for sales management and related support staff, as
well as the accelerated migration to an expanded Stores-on-Wheels(R) program.
General and administrative expense was $6.3 million, or 3.3% of net sales,
versus $6.6 million, or 3.6% of net sales, in the same quarter last year.

Earnings before income tax increased 10.8% to $15.8 million in the second
quarter of 2005 from $14.2 million in the second quarter of 2004, an improvement
of 50 basis points to 8.3% of net sales. For the second quarter of 2005, the
Company reported on generally accepted accounting principles (GAAP) basis net
income of $15.8 million, or $1.71 per diluted share, compared to net income of
$14.2 million, or $1.58 per diluted share last year. The second quarter 2005
results were reduced by $0.03 per diluted share for settlement costs related to
the termination of its supply agreement with KPAC Holdings, Inc. (KPAC).

The Company's GAAP results do not reflect a tax provision related to the
Company's second quarter 2005 and second quarter 2004 earnings before income tax
because of the required accounting treatment for LESCO's deferred tax assets.
Assuming a 39% tax rate, which LESCO typically utilizes to evaluate
year-over-year performance, net income would have been reduced by $0.67 per
diluted share for the second quarter 2005 and $0.61 per diluted share for the
second quarter 2004.

FIRST SIX MONTHS 2005 RESULTS

Net sales for the six months ended June 30, 2005 increased 1.4% to $288.3
million from $284.2 million in the comparable period a year ago. For the first
six months of 2005, Lawn Care gross sales expanded 5.4% to $239.2 million from
$226.9 million for the same period of 2004, while Golf gross sales were $52.8
million versus $59.2 million for the first six months in 2004. Same-store
Service Center sales results rose 3.9%.

Gross profit increased to $74.3 million, or 25.8% of net sales, from $70.6
million, or 24.8% of net sales, in the first half of 2004. Earnings before
income taxes were $5.1 million for the first six months, or 1.8% of sales,
compared to $6.6 million, or 2.3% of sales, for the same period in 2004. For the
first half of 2005, the Company reported GAAP basis net income of $5.1 million,
or $0.55 per diluted share, compared to net income of $6.3 million, or $0.70 per
diluted share, last year. The first half 2005 results were reduced $0.03 per
diluted share for settlement costs paid to KPAC. Assuming a tax rate of 39%, net
income would have been reduced by $0.21 per diluted share for the first six
months of 2005 and $0.25 per diluted share for the first six months of 2004.

NEW SERVICE CENTERS

LESCO opened ten new Service Centers during the second quarter of 2005 in areas
where the Company already had a market presence. On June 30, 2005, there were
285 Service Centers in operation, versus 272 at the end of the second quarter of
2004. The 59 Service Centers opened

                                                                    Exhibit 99.1


from 2003 through the second quarter of 2005 generated net sales of $17.0
million for the quarter and four-wall, pre-tax income of $1.4 million. These 59
Service Centers generated net sales of $24.0 million for the first six months of
2005 and four-wall, pre-tax income of $0.5 million.

SALE OF SUPPLY CHAIN ASSETS

On July 26, 2005, the Company signed a definitive agreement, subject to the
satisfaction of customary closing conditions, to sell substantially all of its
supply chain assets along with its consumable products inventory stored at those
locations including fertilizer, seed, control products, combination products,
pest control and related products. The supply chain assets to be sold are
composed of all four of LESCO's blending facilities and the majority of the
Company's warehouse and distribution centers.

Turf Care Supply Corp. will pay the Company a cash purchase price equal to the
value of the inventory at closing. The Company expects to harvest approximately
$25.0 million in cash after settling all requirements associated with the
transaction including the outstanding accounts payable due to vendors for the
inventory. The Company anticipates the proceeds to be returned to shareholders
in the form of a stock repurchase plan, tender offer, or special one-time
dividend to be determined by LESCO's Board of Directors. The transaction is
expected to close by the end of October 2005 and the Company expects a pre-tax
charge associated with the proposed transaction of $27.0 million to $30.0
million.

Concurrent with and subject to the execution of the sale agreement, the Company
will enter into a long-term supply contract that includes negotiated pricing
terms and built-in cost incentives.

Mr. DiMino continued, "We have selected an elite business partner that we
believe has the capital and the resources to leverage the production and
distribution capacity of our supply chain network over the long-term. We
continue to believe in our long-term strategic direction and expect that the
continued expansion of our Stores-on-Wheels and Service Centers, along with
other margin enhancing initiatives, including the right-sizing of our cost
structure, will provide increased earnings in 2006."

OPERATING CASH FLOW AND BALANCE SHEET

As of June 30, 2005, LESCO's total debt was $3.8 million and consisted of $3.0
million in revolving bank debt along with a $0.8 million interest free,
forgivable loan from the City of Cleveland, Ohio. This compares to total debt of
$5.9 million as of June 30, 2004. The Company also reported a June 30, 2005 cash
and cash equivalent balance of $8.5 million versus $26.9 million at the same
time last year.

FULL YEAR 2005 GUIDANCE

The Company adjusted guidance for 2005 full-year revenue growth to range from
1.0% to 2.5%, with an 8.0% to 9.0% increase in Service Center sales. The sales
of Other Selling Locations are expected to decline approximately $22.0 to $25.0
million related to the acceleration of the Company's strategy to reduce its
sales representative model and to concentrate on the higher profit Service
Center and Stores-on-Wheels models. For the full year, the Company estimates a



                                       3

                                                                    Exhibit 99.1



diluted EPS range of $0.74 to $0.82 before the $27.0 to $30.0 million expected
charge associated with the supply chain transaction. Assuming a 39% tax rate,
the Company estimates a diluted EPS range of $0.45 to $0.50 which includes a
$0.03 effect from the settlement of our dispute with KPAC.

Mr. DiMino concluded, "Our historical direct golf business can be bifurcated
between a high margin Stores-on-Wheels model and a low margin sales
representative model. Consistent with our commitment to invest capital in our
high growth, high return store model, we made the decision during the first
quarter to convert the resources of our sales representative model to our
Stores-on-Wheels model. The disbanding of our sales representative model
included the conversion of these individuals to regional manager or
Stores-on-Wheels positions. Unfortunately, the execution of this program was
less than we desired, resulting in a golf sales decline greater than we had
expected. We continue to manage this company and make the changes necessary to
create long-term value for our shareholders."

As part of the Company's refined strategy of opening new Service Centers
throughout the entire year, the Company expects to open approximately 30 to 35
in 2005, with 9 to 10 openings in the third quarter 2005.

This outlook is based upon various assumptions, which include industry trends
and internal expectations, including, but not limited to the following: 1) the
opening of up to 35 new Service Centers in 2005, 2) gross profit, including
distribution costs, of 24.7% to 25.0%, 3) selling expense continuing to increase
to approximately 17.0% of net sales due to new Service Centers, 4) merchant
discount expense of approximately 1.9% of net sales related to the outsourcing
of the Company's accounts receivable program, 5) general and administrative
expenses flat on a comparable basis, 6) average borrowings being $10.0 million
at an effective interest rate cost of approximately 7%, 7) an income tax rate of
39%, 8) no material change in the products or services offered at the Company's
locations as of December 31, 2004 or in the terms or procedures for offering
such products and services, and 9) no material adverse results from any
litigation or regulatory proceedings against the Company, either currently
existing or that may arise in the future.
