Where this came from
Details on this page were confirmed from the company’s own site on August 25, 2026. The page that was read. That is a record of what the company publishes about itself — not an endorsement, a rating or a check of its work.
This entry is editorial. Richards Building Supply Co. did not pay to be listed, has no control over what it says, and appears here because it operates in this part of the roofing industry. Companies change their programs, their ownership and their product lines without announcing it, so treat the date above as the age of this information and confirm anything you are relying on at the source.
Something wrong or out of date? Tell us and it will be checked against the company’s own site again.

Hiring a roofer, rather than buying from one of these?
Manufacturers, distributors and B2B companies do not install roofs. The contractor directory is a separate part of this site, organised by state and then by city — start there, and check licence and insurance with the state board before work begins.
Looking for a roofing contractor instead?
The contractor directory is separate from these industry listings. Browse roofing companies by state and city, then confirm any licence and insurance with the state board before work begins.
