If you are looking for Roofing this is the place. Tons of options on display and a very friendly staff.

I'm not a roofer though so when Im in the area I have to come here sometimes for Masonry Supplies. This is where this place kinda falls off compared to other building material yards.

The bulk price on sand is way overpriced compared to the competition. Even some of the other materials for masonry are priced higher.

Its hard when you are in the area and need materials. Sometimes the price is so much higher I have to opt to just have it delivered from another yard farther away than haul it myself.

I cant knock them too much for that because they dont specialize in Masonry. They do specialize in roofing and I can tell you that they do that better than any place ive been to before.

So if you need to pick our some roofing this is the go to place. If you need masonry/building materials check out another yard.

Beware of a 10% handling charge for any returns! If we could have purchased our decking material any other place in Orange county we would have. Not knowing the amount we needed, we ask one of their sales people and gave them the measurements. We had way too much and had to return 20% of the material which added up to over $300. It was bad enough we had to drive 1/2 hour to Long Beach, we got charged a $34.27 handling fee. I would have been happy to put the 7 cans back on the shelf. There should be a big sign over the cash register (not in fine print on the back of the receipt) to make customers aware of a 10% handling fee.

I'm in the initial stages of looking into a new roof for my house. I drove an hour to look at material options and it was well worth it. Their show room is superb in that they have large sections of varies materials on display to give you a better idea of how it looks. Chris listened closely, was very helpful & enthusiastic. That in itself was refreshing.
Lets see where it goes from here.

I stopped by South Coast Shingle a few days ago to ask for help in identifying the shingles in a photo. Brandon not only helped by showing me some displays and samples they had there, but he researched addresses for me, then emailed a list to me so I could see them in person. I'm not sure I will end up being a customer of South Coast Shingle (bc I'm not sure where our roofer will buy his shingles), but I appreciate the great customer service I rec'd there.

If you need help with roof decisions, the folks here are a great resource.

Thanks Brandon!

This place is awesome!! Everyone there is very nice. See Jimmy, he knows his stuff and has awesome customer service skills. They have a great variety of materials, he gave us great ideas!!! We will definitely buy our materials from him. We started out at South Coast Supply in Los Alamitos, I will never return there again, Bonnie was so rude, has no patience and the worst customer service skills ever.

Cedar Shingle review:
Replacing our 20+ year old shingles on our house and detached garage. Currently 30% completed and just purchased 8 more bundles from South Coast Shingle Co. In the past, the bundles had the supplier information attached and were in good shape. This purchase the product was wet, not just the exterior exposed shingles, but all of them, all the way through ... soaked! We just had a long hot summer and the only rain in months was just 1/16 of an inch, completely baffled why all the shingles are waterlogged. In order to sand, primer and paint the shingles they need to be dry, so I opened all the bundles and paved my backyard with them so they could dry. As I did this I noticed nearly 1/5 of each bundle, all 8 bundles were broken down the middle or had broken sides. After they dried out I used a good exterior glue to repair the ones broken in the middle and a table saw to trim the ones with broken sides. After I am finished with this lot I estimate I will need 16 more bundles, but you can bet I will not go back to the South Coast Shingle Company. I know, I should just take them back and complain: That would require me to rent a truck, load it up and then haggle with the staff. It is easier to repair as needed and not give them any more of my money.
If you are purchasing Cedar Shingles, I do not recommend this company.

Great Company! I would like to personally thank Gary Stephens in particular. I had no knowledge of what to do or how to proceed with re-roofing my house. Gary sent a roofer over immediately. I was given a quote by the end of the day. The work was started on Friday, Nov. 7th and completed by Saturday late afternoon. The crew cleaned up before leaving each day and the new roof looks awesome. I highly recommend this company! Thanks again!!

We are proud to have a nice Timberline Ultra HD roof on our home in Cerritos. Thanx to Frank Salas for his guidance in selecting the best quality roofing materials. I would go back again, but the roof we just installed is lifetime. Thanx again!!!

We had excellent customer service from all at South Coast in particular Chris. We began a project of completely redoing the exterior of our home, new roof, stack stone and flat stone work, we ended up purchasing all our materials there. They have a nice demonstration area where you can view a great variety of materials. They are very helpful and patient as we had to make many decisions. They delivered the materials when promised and were of great assistance when we needed more.
