Murphy's Roofing Supply carries shingles from GAF, CertainTeed, and Owens Corning — three of the industry's most trusted manufacturers — across three tiers: 3-tab, architectural, and designer. All available with wholesale contractor pricing, custom quotes, and job site delivery at four Gulf South and Texas locations.
Leading Brands Murphy's Carries
For nearly five decades, Murphy's Roofing Supply has built relationships with the roofing industry's most reputable manufacturers. The result is a curated inventory of brands that consistently meet contractor expectations for durability, aesthetics, and warranty coverage — brands you can confidently spec on any residential project.
Rather than stocking every brand on the market, we focus on the manufacturers that have earned their reputation through performance and innovation: GAF, CertainTeed, and Owens Corning.
GAF
North America's largest roofing manufacturer — known for consistent quality, innovation, and broad availability. Their Timberline® series is among the most specified shingles in the country, backed by strong warranties and extensive contractor support programs.
CertainTeed
Over a century of building materials expertise, with product lines that balance exceptional style and robust protection. Known for a wide array of colors and textures that mimic natural wood or slate, plus comprehensive warranty programs including SureStart™ coverage.
Owens Corning
Synonymous with strength and curb appeal. Their patented SureNail® Technology delivers outstanding grip and 130 MPH wind resistance on the Duration® series — plus TruDefinition® colors that give roofs a vibrant, high-contrast appearance that's hard to match.
Shingle Types: Three Tiers for Every Project
All three brands are available across the full shingle spectrum — from budget-friendly 3-tab to premium designer profiles. Here's how to match each tier to your project requirements.
3-Tab Asphalt
Flat, uniform appearance — the most economical and traditional option. Ideal for budget-conscious projects, utility buildings, or repairs where cost is the primary driver. Reliable basic weather protection in a standard range of colors.
Architectural (Laminate)
Multi-layered construction creating a textured, dimensional look that mimics natural wood shake or slate. Enhanced durability, stronger wind resistance ratings, and longer lifespan versus 3-tab. The workhorse choice for most residential projects.
Designer (Luxury)
Ultimate curb appeal with premium aesthetics that replicate natural slate or cedar shakes. Heavier, multi-layered construction with extended warranties and superior protection — ideal for custom homes, historic renovations, and high-end residential builds.
Choosing the Right Shingle Tier
The right tier depends on client budget, desired aesthetic, local climate, and long-term performance expectations. This table gives you the key variables at a glance.
| Feature | 3-Tab | Architectural | Designer |
|---|---|---|---|
| Cost | Most economical | Mid-range | Premium |
| Appearance | Flat, uniform | Dimensional, textured | High-end, slate/wood look |
| Lifespan | 20–25 years | 30–50+ years | 40–50+ years / lifetime |
| Wind Rating | 60–70 mph | 110–130 mph | 110–130+ mph |
| Warranty | Basic, limited | Stronger, longer | Comprehensive, often lifetime |
| Best For | Budget / utility | Most residential | Luxury / custom builds |
Architectural shingles account for the majority of residential installs — and for good reason. The step up in wind resistance (110–130 mph vs. 60–70 mph) and lifespan (30–50+ years vs. 20–25) is significant, while the cost difference is often modest in the context of a full project bid.
