Why Conklin Roofing Systems?

At J Smucker Contracting, we feel it is very important for a commercial roofing company to offer their clients what they most need. We don’t think your roofing company should push certain products or certain solutions on you just because they are the ones giving them the most kick backs or rebates, or because it’s the only roofing system they have experience in. Your Commercial roofing contractor should work with a diverse offering of materials and systems, and be expertly trained to install them all so that the plan can be tailored to best suit YOUR needs.  But I am sure you have noticed we often speak about Conklin products. So we wanted to take a moment to explain why we try to use their products in particular, if the situation allows for it. Let’s dive in!

What even sets commercial roofing materials apart?

When you’re trying to decide which materials to pick, there are a lot of factors. Let’s assume the materials or system being suggested to you by your contractor are suitable for your roof and your budget/goals. Now you need to look at things like warranty and length of warranty. How long the company has been around. How long their products have been around and been tested. These things matter most as you are about to enter into a 10-25 year relationship with the manufacturer. So you want to make sure they will be around and will be standing behind their warranty for as long as you have it. And in this area, Conklin sets itself apart. 

Back in 1977, Conklin formulated acrylic roofing coatings, which offer superior protection against the elements and provide substantial energy efficiency. Since that time, many companies have entered the cool, reflective roof coatings market; however, no other company offers what Conklin does. Conklin Roofing Systems combine superior-quality products with more than 40 years of tested, proven, and trusted performance to deliver unsurpassed value for building owners, property managers, and contractors alike.

Does Conklin only manufacture coating systems?

Nope! Conklin offers coating systems and single ply membrane systems like PVC and TPO as well. That’s another thing that sets Conklin apart. Many roofing material manufacturers only offer one or the other. Since 1977 Conklin has been making itself a “one stop shop” for all your roofing coating and or repalcement needs. What’s great about this is many roofs have multiple sections and some sections may need to be replaced while others can be coated. And with Conklin, you are still only dealing with one material manufacturer for all your warranty needs. 

So let's TLDR this.....

Bottom line, we are proud to offer our clients a wide array of products and systems. From GAF to Firestone. From Flex to Certainteed. Versico to Carlisle. Conklin to….so many more! We are expertly trained and certified to give you all your options to suit your needs and your budget. But of all the systems we offer, Conklin is certainly one of if not THE best for giving you the most value for your money. Which is what we here at J Smucker Contracting care about most. Value. Making sure every client feels like they got more than expected, and everything they paid for.
