Company History

McCoy's: Founded in 1923

In 1923 Frank McCoy opened a small contract roofing business in Houston, Texas. But Frank soon tired of the big city, so he moved his family and the business to Galveston, Texas. In the 1940s Frank's son, Emmett, took an active interest in the family business. Emmett envisioned selling roofing and other building materials directly to the general public, and McCoy's entered the retail business. When Frank retired, Emmett became president of both the McCoy Roofing Company and the McCoy Supply Company 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!
