Job Complete: Commercial Roof Replacement for Glycerin Traders

At American Builders, we don’t just install roofs—we build long-lasting structures that protect businesses. Every project we take on is driven by our commitment to faith, quality craftsmanship, and a passion for making America even greater.

One of our most recent projects took us to LaPorte County, Indiana. We partnered with Glycerin Traders, an oil refinery that plays a vital role in the local and national economy.

Transforming a Failing Roof at Glycerin Traders

The original roof at Glycerin Traders' facility was a wooden structure that had deteriorated over time, posing significant risks to the refinery's operations. As an oil refinery, Glycerin Traders needed a durable roofing solution that could withstand the elements and ensure the safety and longevity of their facility.

Our team at American Builders stepped in to overhaul the failing roof. We replaced the old wooden structure with a robust steel roof, designed for maximum strength and durability. To enhance energy efficiency and improve insulation, we installed two layers of insulation beneath the steel roofing. This upgrade not only protects the refinery from temperature fluctuations but also contributes to cost savings over time.

Using the Conklin Roofing System for Superior Protection

We applied the industry-leading Conklin Roofing System. Conklin’s protective coating was the perfect solution for Glycerin Traders, offering superior resistance to leaks and weather damage. This coating creates a barrier that will keep the refinery safe from water intrusion and extend the roof's lifespan significantly. With this system in place, Glycerin Traders can operate with confidence, knowing their roof is built to last.
