ABOUT US
WHO WE ARE
Corken Steel Products is a wholesale distributor of commercial and residential roofing materials, serving licensed roofing contractors across Kentucky, Ohio, and Indiana. Founded in 1955 as a roofing and rain-carrying products distributor, Corken Steel has grown into a diversified company with three divisions — Roofing, Sheet Metal Fabrication, and Heating & Air Conditioning — operating from more than 20 branch locations throughout the region, with roofing product lines stocked at branches across our footprint.
We supply a full line of shingles, low-slope and metal roofing systems, underlayment, flashing, ventilation, and rain-carrying products, alongside custom fabricated sheet metal components built to match your job specs. Beyond product supply, our contractor support includes commercial estimating and takeoffs, technical training, in-house marketing support, and online ordering — everything a roofing contractor needs from a single supplier.
Whether you’re picking up materials at the counter or managing a large commercial roofing project, our goal hasn’t changed since 1955: give contractors better service than they can find anywhere else.

THE CORKEN PHILOSOPHY
Corken Steel’s approach to growth has always been simple: take care of the customer, and the rest follows. President Jeff Corken sums up the company’s philosophy this way:
“The answer is yes. Making money today or tomorrow is not important — we need to make all decisions for the long term. Years, not days.”
That mindset shows up in how we operate day to day: consistent order and delivery communication, a team that’s empowered to solve problems on the first call, and a culture built on honesty and follow-through rather than sales pressure. It’s also why our leadership has stayed close to the ground — from founding families to long-tenured employees who’ve worked their way into leadership — the company has never lost its blue-collar, do-what-you-said roots, dating back to our origins as a roofing distributor in 1955.
