NCI BUILDING SYSTEMS NAMES MARK W. DOBBINS CHIEF OPERATING

OFFICER, BRADLEY D. ROBESON AND JOHN L. KUZDAL PROMOTED

HOUSTON (March 31, 2008) – NCI Building Systems, Inc. (NYSE: NCS) today announced the promotion of Executive Officers Mark W. Dobbins, Bradley D. Robeson and John L. Kuzdal. Dobbins, who previously served as President of the NCI Buildings division, has been named Executive Vice President and Chief Operating Officer of the Company. In his new role, Dobbins will be responsible for the day-to-day operations of NCI’s business segments, which include Metal Coil Coatings, Metal Components and Engineered Building Systems. The presidents of each of NCI’s operating divisions will report directly to Dobbins who, in turn, will report to Norman C. Chambers, NCI’s Chairman, President and Chief Executive Officer. Replacing Dobbins as President of the NCI Buildings division is Robeson, formerly the President of the Metal Coil Coatings business segment. Kuzdal, currently Vice President of Operations, has been promoted to President of the Metal Coil Coatings segment.

Dobbins, who joined the company in 1988, has held several key leadership positions, which included a move from Metal Components to the Engineered Building Systems division in January 2006. As President of NCI Buildings, he developed a more efficient, customer-centric organization, which resulted in increased sales, higher profits and improved operating income. “Mark Dobbins’ considerable experience in operations, including business, plant and staff management, as well as his tenure in both the Metal Components and Engineered Building Systems segments, will provide tremendous value to this critical role,” said Chambers. “He will be responsible for the implementation of our strategy, which has been developed with a goal of doubling our 2007 EBITDA within five years.

“Furthermore, I am confident that Brad Robeson is an exceptional replacement as President of the NCI Buildings division.” Robeson has more than 20 years of industry experience in various positions of increasing responsibility. Under his leadership, the Metal Coil Coatings division has continuously made important operational and strategic advancements in a changing business environment. He has considerable industry knowledge, having previously worked in our Engineered Building Systems segment, and a proven record for profitable business performance.

Since 1986, Kuzdal has worked in the metal coil industry and has been with Metal Coaters since 1998. In 2006, Kuzdal was promoted to Vice President of Operations for the Metal Coil Coatings segment. As a result, Kuzdal was responsible for monitoring the daily operations of the metal coil companies and was instrumental in implementing best practices throughout the division which lead to significant improvements in line speeds and efficiency. His involvement in many of the principal advancements introduced, along with his close working relationship with Robeson, should provide a seamless transition of responsibilities.
