New Castle Metal delivers roofing materials across New York with Curri

In the heart of Long Island City, New Castle Metal is a trusted fabricator for roofing projects across the five boroughs, Long Island, and beyond. From flat sheets and coils to custom-fabricated pieces for rooftops, the company supplies contractors working in New York City, New Jersey, Connecticut, Massachusetts, and Pennsylvania.

It’s a demanding business. Job sites depend on timely deliveries to keep construction moving. And while New Castle operates its own fleet of trucks and vans, Branch Manager Andres Marte knew they needed more flexibility.

“We have our own fleet, but sometimes we need something quicker, or our trucks just aren’t available. That’s when we turn to Curri.”

Discovering Curri

New Castle Metal had experimented with other courier platforms in the past, but adoption was inconsistent. That changed when Curri’s Quinton Sappington visited Andres’ branch.

‍

“Curri gave me the whole rundown and walked me through the interface,” Andres recalls. “I love beautiful interfaces and seamless design. I was impressed right away. Since then, it’s been pretty smooth.”

‍

At first, Curri was used occasionally. Today, it’s become an everyday tool.

‍

“We average four to five Curri deliveries a day,” Andres says. “On a slow day it’s two or three. But we’re booking Curri jobs five days a week.”

Why Curri works for New Castle Metal

For Andres, the biggest value is flexibility. Even with box trucks, boom trucks, and rack trucks in their company fleet, his Long Island City branch only has a single van on-site. That leaves gaps that Curri’s fleet can fill immediately.

The branch relies heavily on Sprinter vans for most deliveries, with cargo vans and box trucks used when loads get bigger. Nearly every order is booked as a Rush Hotshot, ensuring job sites get materials fast.

Key benefits include:

• Speed – Rush deliveries cover urgent needs when in-house trucks aren’t available.
  
  
• Vehicle flexibility – Sprinter vans, cargo vans, and box trucks depending on load size.
  
  
• Job site coverage – Nearly all deliveries go direct to active construction sites.
  
  
• Local drivers – “They’re in their own radius, in their own area. It’s like a one-shot solution.”
  
  
• Support team – Quick help for reroutes, multi-trips, or unusual requests.
  
  

Real-world results

New Castle’s jobs vary widely. Some involve simple sheets of metal; others require large, fabricated roofing components headed to high-rise job sites. Andres says the reliability of Curri drivers—especially his preferred ones—makes the difference.

“We always request two particular drivers, Lloyd and Israel,” he says. “They know our jobs and we trust them. They’re local, dependable, and we make sure it’s worth it for them.”

Curri recently launched a Preferred Drivers feature, allowing branches like New Castle to save their go-to drivers in the app.

One example of Curri’s customer service stood out: a Bronx job site needed multiple trips in a single day. Andres had only set up a one-way delivery, but Curri’s support team quickly converted it to a multi-stop run while the driver was still on the road. “It gave me peace of mind,” he explains. “It was like I was rerouting the job myself.”

Reliability that contractors depend on

Roofing contractors don’t have time for delays. Crews are on-site, cranes are rented, and every hour matters. Curri helps New Castle Metal keep projects moving.

“There have been countless occasions where Curri has saved the day. If something needs to come back to us, or a job needs a reroute, the support team is there right away. It makes everything simpler.”

He adds that features like live tracking and proof-of-delivery photos are crucial. “They’ve saved us more than once,” Andres says. “If a customer says they didn’t receive something, we can show them the photo instantly.”

Why Curri over other couriers?

‍

Before Curri, New Castle Metal relied on another courier. Many of the same drivers now operate on Curri, but Andres finds the experience far better.

‍

“The difference is feasibility, visibility, and reliability,” he explains.

‍

• Feasibility – “Curri’s platform is simple. The UI is fantastic. Even someone with no computer experience can book a delivery in minutes.”
  
  
• Visibility – “I can track deliveries in real time, even with multi-stop routes. It’s like having dispatch in my pocket.”
  
  
• Reliability – “The chat support is excellent. Whatever we need, they’re there to assist quickly.”
  
  

He sums it up with a simple analogy: “Imagine Uber for sheet metal. That’s Curri. From our shop to the job site, one click and it’s on the way.”

‍

Expanding across New York

From Long Island City to Manhattan, Brooklyn, Queens, the Bronx, and Staten Island, Curri has become an extension of New Castle Metal’s fleet. The branch also uses it for runs to New Jersey, Connecticut, and even Upstate New York.

“Curri makes it easier. Instead of monopolizing one of our trucks for half a day to drive Upstate, we can just book a Curri and keep our fleet focused locally.”

‍

Feedback and future growth

‍

Andres has even shared product feedback with Curri’s team, which helps shape the features we build. It’s that kind of collaboration that strengthens the partnership.

From Long Island City to the Bronx, from New Jersey to Connecticut, New Castle Metal depends on Curri to keep roofing projects supplied and job sites moving. With Curri covering 4–5 deliveries a day, the company has turned logistics from a constraint into a competitive advantage.

“Curri gives us peace of mind,” Andres says. “It’s reliable, easy to use, and it makes our lives simpler.”
