Company History
McCoy's: Founded in 1927
In 1927 Frank McCoy moved his family and a small contract roofing business from the big city of Houston to Galveston, Texas, and the McCoy Roofing Company was born.
In the 1940s Frank's son, Emmett, took an active interest in the family business. He envisioned selling roofing and other building materials directly to the general public. McCoy's entered the retail business with the McCoy Supply Company.
When Frank retired, Emmett became president of both McCoy Roofing and McCoy Supply and promptly expanded the product mix at the McCoy Supply Company. He then opened a second store near Texas City, Texas, in 1960. In 1961 Hurricane Carla hit the Gulf Coast, changing Emmett and McCoy's forever!
