South Coast Shingle Co Inc

I've used South Coast shingle on several projects in the last few years and have had a great experience. The quality, selection, service and affordable pricing is outstanding and and has helped give my rehab projects a truly custom look beyond what could be found at the big box stores

It wasn't until my latest project - to install a new roof for a triplex and to pull the permits myself as an owner occupier (to save thousands) that I've really appreciated how critical their product expertise was in the completion of my project and having it approved by the city of Long Beach. That is, a big thank you to Chris, the sales associate who helped me throughout the process.

Chris has encyclopedic product knowledge especially when it comes to roofing. he understood that I wasn't a professional contractor and I was doing it as an owner-occupier. He was very very patient guiding me through the process. His expertise ultimately saved me money and time and extra trips along with headache from the city. for example was when we were ordering the sheathing - the wooden flat boards that go beneath the shingles. - we thought we had a basic idea of what we needed. As we made our order Chris pointed out that since the houses in Long Beach, we needed to get a special type of sheathing that was coated with a shiny foil like material per the city. thank goodness he told us!

Down the street as we were installing our roof there was another house that was also doing a roof who started a few days before us evidently not through South Coast shingle. When they  completed they're sheathing, I noticed that they had used the uncoated boards. Then several days had passed, the workers at the other house had to go in and put an additional layer on top of the sheeting. Had Chris not pointed this out to us the fact that Long Beach had special requirements we would have had to do the same thing and ultimately that would have cost me hundreds extra for labor alone.

Drawing from his 20-plus years of experience in the construction industry and his knowledge  of the roofing process backwards and forwards Chris got us what we needed, which helped us  save a lot of time, money, a lot of headache. Thank you again Chris !

I've been to this location about 4 times for Garden decorative rocks the guys in the forklifts are quick to bring out the product to your car and help you load it. My only issue is the guys in the office area, None seem to be happy to be there they always seem pissed off or something. A little more customer service friendly would be nice. Other than that its a great place for product of many types.

Knowledge staff, great service. Bought decomposed granite for a backyard project last week and it was delivered to our driveway at a fair price. Very impressed with the staff - everyone was nice & helpful
