About Our Company
Western Cedar Supply was started by Randy Johnson. Randy got his start in roofing early in life with his dad and Cedar Roofs of Virginia. With strong roots in roofing and a relationship with the Cedar Shake & Shingle Bureau, Randy met tremendous success with the name Western Cedar Roofs, Inc. This success allowed him to branch out into all types of roofing and eventually make the leap into the supply industry. Having been a customer to roofing supply stores, and dealing with the frustration of salesmen that sell a product based on how many points he's going to make and not the knowledge of how the product performs was incentive enough to push Randy into the supply business. Working on the roof himself everyday and getting a business started from nothing, Randy knew the importance of good service and respect. Randy feels it's easier to give a roofer the respect he deserves having been a roofer himself. No longer installing roofing, Randy hopes that with WCS he can offer his customers the information they need to make the best decision for them and their roofing needs.

Living life “treating others as you would like to be treated AND doing unto others as you would have them do unto you”, Phyllis says, are key to success inside and outside of the workplace. When not at work Phyllis is usually enjoying time with her kids and grandkids. “All of our employees are like family, and some are.

Randy Johnson, the “patriarch” of the WCS family, has many roles and will do any and everything it takes to get the job done. On any given day you’ll find him delivering materials, cleaning the warehouse, loading trucks, helping customers and doing various office tasks. He says he loves every minute of it. And it shows. Randy started working in cedar roofing with his father in high school on the weekends and always had a passion for it. In 1978 with long hard days and a handful of good employees Randy and his wife, Phyllis, started Western Cedar Roofs Inc. It became extremely successful. In 1999 he saw a void in the industry that he believed he could fill. He started Western Cedar Supply (WCS) as a supply company that gave the same customer service, care and respect for the “small” roofing companies as the larger ones. When not at WCS Randy is enjoying time with his wife, kids and especially grandkids or riding his Harley Davidson and working on his collection of classic cars. He says his love of Jesus inspires him daily. Randy loves to see what each day brings. “I believe in thinking positive and not worrying about things that cannot be changed. When you have great employees you realize how blessed you are and you can truly enjoy the work you do.”
