What Chenango Contracting does

Chenango Contracting Inc. is a privately held specialty construction and installation company founded in 1992 and headquartered in Johnson City, New York. The company operates two principal business lines: (1) geosynthetic materials installation, encompassing geomembrane liner systems (HDPE, PVC, XR-5, LLDPE, polypropylene) and specialty liners (geocomposites, geonets, geotextiles, geogrids, geosynthetic clay liners) used in landfill containment and closure, agricultural ponds, water reservoirs, wastewater treatment facilities, floating covers, and rain caps; and (2) artificial turf installation and maintenance, conducted under its status as the authorized FieldTurf representative for upstate New York. The firm has installed over 300 million square feet of geosynthetics and completed 400+ artificial turf fields, including projects for Division 1 universities such as Notre Dame, Syracuse, West Point, the University of Minnesota, and Cornell. Complementary offerings include field removal and recycling, in-house custom logo construction using a 40'x15' water jet, certified FieldCare maintenance, Gmax safety testing, and snow removal.

Revenue is generated primarily through project-based professional services contracts with institutional and commercial buyers (universities, school districts, municipalities, waste management operators, agricultural and industrial clients), supplemented by the Perfect Lawn sub-brand (an EasyTurf distributor serving residential and small commercial customers) and an equipment rental business that monetizes Slingers, Reloaders, and Komatsu dump trucks to contractors and landscapers. The company employs 11-50 people, deploys its own internal installation crews rather than subcontractors, and operates entirely within the Northeast United States. There are no external investors, funding events, M&A activity, or public market signals in the disclosed record.
