From A Commercial Liability to A Building Asset
Castorland LLC is a Division of Slack Chemical Co. located in Castorland (upstate), New York, just down the road from the Naumburg Mennonite Church.
Their flat roof was a mess; parts were severely rusted, with the existing flat roof suffering from severe weather damage and a lack of proper maintenance. With a roof, so large their in-house maintenance resources were simply overwhelmed by a task this far beyond what they could handle. Maintenance of a large commercial flat roof like this can be a serious challenge with any roof system pushed far beyond its original working life. This type of looming maintenance disaster is a compelling reason to choose time-proven, low-maintenance roofing systems that add value instead of becoming a liability.
NY Preferred Roofing completed a thorough roof inspection followed by a detailed restoration proposal to bring this roof back from the point of no return and ensure it would provide many more years of trouble-free service.
Below is a comparison showing the roof Before & After.
Commercial Roofing is so different from standard house or shed roofs. Their sheer size and complexity demand that only the best Commercial Roofers be used. With so much time risk and money on the table, a commercial building owner should never settle for less than the best. If your roofer is willing to cut corners by using inferior products they will likely cut corners in other areas as well.
Here at NY Preferred Roofing, we take great pride in promoting the best solutions for every job. Every roof is different and every building owner’s budget is different as well. We work hard to provide a solution that balances optimal materials and budget constraints you may be facing.

On this roof, we completed a tear-off and installed a premium Single Ply Membrane roof system manufactured by Conklin, a company known for their long-lasting best on the market low maintenance roofing systems. Conklin specializes in both single-ply and seamless roof systems with warranties of up to 18 years.
