South Coast Shingle Co Inc

Overall, customers report generally positive experiences with knowledge, product availability, and service, but note price considerations and occasional staff attitude variability.

- Product range and pricing: The business offers a wide selection of roofing and decorative materials, including cedar period-specific historic shingles that customers say are hard to find elsewhere. Several reviews mention affordable pricing or good value, while others describe materials as very expensive.

- Expertise and guidance: Staff are repeatedly praised for product knowledge, especially Chris, who helped a non-professional owner-occupier navigate permit requirements and material specs (notably suggesting foil-coated sheathing needed for Long Beach codes). This guidance was cited as saving time, money, and headaches.

- Service, loading, and delivery: Customers frequently report friendly, helpful service and assistance with loading materials. The Long Beach location is noted to open early (6 am), and staff have helped load items into vehicles. Delivery of items such as decomposed granite to driveways is described as fair-priced and convenient.

- Store experience and hours: The staff at the loading/yard area are described as efficient, though there are some negative comments about the mood of some office staff. The range of products extends beyond roofing to decorative rocks and related materials.

- Practical takeaways for potential customers: If you need specialized shingles or help with local permitting, expect knowledgeable staff and guidance that can save time and money. Be prepared for higher material costs and a mixed experience with office staff, and take advantage of early-hours access and loading assistance.
