When Colonel Morry Beldon and his wife, Ann, came to San Antonio under the orders of Uncle Sam in 1945, they fell in love with the burgeoning South Texas city. They decided it was the ideal town to raise their family in and pursue their own version of the American dream. That dream came true through a roofing company Morry, an MIT graduate, started with A.A. Shepherd, a local homebuilder who was one of the first to befriend the transplanted Bostonians.
In 1946, they launched AAA Roofing and Supply Co. The company grew with the Alamo City's exploding market for single-family homes. In addition to top-notch roofs and customer service, AAA furnished local builders with building supplies and arranged financing for them.
After nine years, the friends went their separate ways, and Morry incorporated Beldon Roofing & Supply Company. The small partnership that started in the shadow of World War II has since grown into a third-generation family business with a staff of more than 250 employees and a fleet of more than 100 vehicles, all dedicated to bringing the best of the business and themselves to their valued customers.
