About
R.L. Murphey Commercial Roof Systems, LLC is a commercial and industrial roofing contractor at 803 N. Kealy Ave in Lewisville, Texas, in Denton County. Rick and Sally Murphey founded the company in 2002, and the BBB records an establishment date of 18 December 2002 with Rick Murphey as President and Sally Murphey as Vice President. It has been BBB Accredited since 17 July 2007.
This is not a residential storm-chasing operation. The company describes itself as a full service single-ply roofing company and states it has installed and warranted more than 60 million square feet of single-ply roof systems on commercial and industrial buildings in Texas and across the United States. Its service lines are new construction, re-roofing, sheet metal, tenant finish-out, maintenance and leak repair, backed by a 24 hour emergency hotline.
The company states manufacturer certifications with Carlisle SynTec, Elevate, GAF Materials Corporation, Johns Manville Roofing Systems and Sika Sarnafil. Those certifications matter on a commercial roof because the manufacturer's system warranty is usually only available through an approved applicator. Building owners should ask which manufacturer warranty is being offered on their specific system and for how long.

Insurance & credential verification
Texas does not issue a state roofing license, so we verify companies the way homeowners actually can: confirming insurance coverage, checking RCAT (Roofing Contractors Association of Texas) status, and checking city or county registration where the local jurisdiction requires one. Every credential below links to the actual issuing organization's own public lookup — don't just take our checkmark for it. Always ask for a current certificate of insurance before signing any contract.

RCAT statusNot listed
City/county registration
Registered — Plano Check the register ↗Registered general contractor, City of Plano. Roofing companies register in Plano's general contractor category, which also covers concrete, demolition, fence, foundation, pool and sign work; it is a $100 annual registration renewed yearly, and the city's published requirements do not list proof of insurance or a bond. This company appears on the city's own list of registered contractors. The city publishes no certificate number or expiry date for this programme, so ask to see the registration itself before work starts.
RegionLewisville
Confirm this yourself: ask the company for their certificate of insurance (COI). Note that RCAT's Licensed Roofing Contractor credential (CRRL, RRL or CRL) is earned and held by a named individual at a company, not by the business itself, which is why we name that person above where we know it; Texas issues no company roofing license at all. RCAT and NTRCA status can be checked in their own public directories (RCAT, NTRCA) — use the "Licensed"/"Accredited" filter to see more than plain membership. GAF's contractor verification tool and Owens Corning's Texas locator confirm those tiers directly; CertainTeed doesn't offer a comparable self-serve lookup, so ask to see that certificate in person. BBB accreditation and rating are on bbb.org. Houston's own published registered-roofer list is years out of date, so it isn't cited here at all — confirm registration by contacting the city directly. Corpus Christi's STAR program has its own online contractor registry — for any other city or county registration claim, confirm directly with that jurisdiction's permit office.

Frequently asked
Is R.L. Murphey a residential roofer?
No. The company is a commercial and industrial roofing contractor specialising in single-ply systems for commercial and industrial buildings. Homeowners looking for a shingle replacement should look elsewhere.
What does the Plano register abbreviation mean?
The City of Plano general contractor register abbreviates the name as R.L. MURPHEY COMM ROOFING SYS LLC. The company's own legal and trading name is R.L. Murphey Commercial Roof Systems, LLC, so it is Roof Systems rather than Roofing Systems.
Where is the company based?
803 N. Kealy Ave, Lewisville, Texas 75057, which is in Denton County. The BBB profile, the company website and the Plano register all give the same address and the same main phone number.
What is single-ply roofing?
Single-ply refers to flexible membrane sheets, most commonly TPO, PVC or EPDM, mechanically fastened or adhered over insulation on a low-slope commercial roof. It is the dominant system on warehouses, retail boxes and industrial buildings in Texas.
Is the company RCAT licensed or an RCAT member?
A search of the Roofing Contractors Association of Texas directory did not return a record for this company. RCAT has two separate things, plain Member which means paid dues, and the separately earned Licensed Roofing Contractor credential. Neither is a government licence and neither was found here.
Does Texas license roofing contractors?
No. There is no state roofing license in Texas. For a commercial project the meaningful checks are general liability and workers compensation certificates, the manufacturer approvals that unlock a system warranty, and the contractor's project references.
How do the manufacturer certifications work?
Carlisle SynTec, Elevate, GAF, Johns Manville and Sika Sarnafil each approve contractors to install their systems and to issue the manufacturer's warranty. These five are stated on the company's own website. R.L. Murphey also has a listing in the GAF commercial contractor locator. Ask the manufacturer's rep to confirm current standing before award on a large job.
Does hail matter on a commercial roof in North Texas?
Yes. Denton and Dallas counties are in North Texas hail alley, and hail bruises and punctures membrane just as it damages shingles. Membrane thickness, cover board and insulation choice all affect hail performance, so raise hail resistance during system selection rather than after a claim.
What are the hours?
The company website gives 7am to 5pm Monday to Friday, plus a 24 hour emergency hotline for active leaks on (214) 995-8446.
What should a building owner ask before awarding a re-roof?
Ask for current insurance certificates, the specific membrane and thickness proposed, the manufacturer warranty term and what it does and does not cover, whether a tear-off or an overlay is proposed, how the deck and insulation will be inspected, and how work will be phased around occupancy.
