History
CSL West, LLC. was established in April 2014 as the exclusive Carlisle SynTec Representative in Colorado and Western Nebraska. Since 2014, CSL West, LLC. has experienced significant market share growth as we have partnered with additional premier construction manufacturers to offer product solutions for the building envelope. Over this time, CSL West has been recognized for our sales achievements by receiving several awards. To support our growth, our team has expanded to include additional Territory Sales Representatives, Inside Sales & Marketing, and Design Services.
As the longest-tenured single-ply manufacturer’s representatives in Colorado, CSL West, LLC. is well-positioned to represent building product manufacturers by offering unparalleled support to the Design Community, Building Owners, Roofing Contractors, General Contractors, and Property Managers. Additionally, through our excellent Distribution Partnerships, we collectively offer a great experience for our customers.
Mission Statement
Our mission is to provide value to our customers by offering unrivaled service, comprehensive industry and product knowledge, and continual customer support while educating our respective markets about the innovative products of our manufacturing partners.
Why CSL West?
As an independent representative of numerous construction products in multiple states, we must operate as the experts on each of our manufacturers and their product offerings. Our comprehensive knowledge of products, systems, and services allows us to convey their assets to each market efficiently and precisely.
Many companies in the construction industry are consumed with pricing and solely scrutinize material costs when making decisions. While CSL will always work diligently to ensure pricing is competitive, we recognize there is more to a product or service than the unit cost. Currently, the construction industry is facing a significant quality labor shortage, and finding ways that companies can complete jobs faster and better can be a tremendous help. In addition, our method of collaborating with customers and prospective customers to discern the specific needs of their business allows us to pinpoint the products and services that best enhance their operations.
Most importantly, we offer products that cover the entire building envelope. This offering makes CSL a true asset to architects and consultants as we can be a “one-stop shop” for these specifiers. Additionally, CSL’s ability to interface with architects and consultants on an entire building (roofing, waterproofing, metal edge, and underlayments) benefits the contractor. We will work to ensure a cohesive experience by coordinating projects, facilitating intercommunication, and providing valuable information and insight to ensure a smooth and successful project for all involved.
With over 75 years of combined industry experience and expertly trained employees, CSL is the premium construction materials partner. We have hundreds of solutions to meet any challenge and the professional acumen to benefit our customers significantly.
