Commercial Distribution Specialists (CDS) is a designation awarded to our locations that are experts in commercial roofing products, particularly low slope roofing. When you visit a CDS location you can be assured that you will be interacting with a team that understands low-slope products and systems.

CDS framework is comprised of 4 key facets to make your project go smoothly:

• Expertise – Each CDS branch has a team of low-slope experts that not only understand the complex parts that go into your projects but are aware that accuracy and timeliness is paramount to your business.
• Products – CDS locations stock the best in products in commercial roofing such as Carlisle, GAF, Elevate, Johns Manville, and Versico.
• Logistics – The CDS fleet consists of the newest models of crane trucks and knuckle booms for efficient rooftop delivery and for ground drops. The fleet is just one part of the logistics puzzle, understanding commercial job sites and requirements is another.
• Safety – CDS locations ensure our drivers are not just safe but knowledgeable of commercial project logistics ahead of time.
