Brian and his team were very professional and worked hard at repairing my roof. I appreciate that they were honest and did not try to steer me into a new roof when there were many years left in my existing roof. (My existing roof had a 50-year warranty that we had only had 23 years but the company was no longer in business.) Thank you so much So. County Roofing for a job well done. I will recommend you to all my family and friends.

Having Brian do the roof inspection was the best $225 investment I have ever made. He saved me thousands of dollars of repairs that wouldn't have been done. Don't let a real estate agent talk you into using their guy to get an estimate. Call Brian and spend the money. Service: Roof inspection

Jesse came out and gave us an estimate. They were a little higher than the other quotes but did all the repairs and also fixed some tiles on the other side of the house. Gave us our quote quickly and started work within the week. They also realigned our gutters and repaired flashing around the chimney. They were diligent about getting the work done properly and came out when it was so hot. They forgot to hook back the Dish cable (which we currently don't use) but came back the day after we notified them. Impressed he came out on a Saturday!

Also made sure all the eaves were sealed near the stucco. First rate work. We just had rain so I was very happy it all got done before this summer rain. Thank you to everyone at South County Roofing from Jesse to the office staff to those workers who meticulously cleaned up every day before they left. You did an excellent job.

I paid for a roof inspection and I was very clear that if they felt the roof needed to be replaced we would go that route. (found out later they do not do replacement) I was told everything was good for at least another 5 years with their "tune-up". Shorty after the tune-up was completed we received our first rain, needless to say we had a leak. I was told that was not in an area they repaired and they wanted an additional $500 to cover the roof and then $1000-$2000 to repair that area. The tech that came out to do the first repair did not show up when he was supposed to and took much longer to perform the repair that quoted. Do not use this company!

I found Brian on the web through some videos of his work here in California. By far the most extensive knowledge in the roofing business, especially with roof tile applications. Brian has a crew of trusted team members in the field who can assess problems to troubleshoot any issue you may have. My house was built in 1977 so I needed someone to come out and look at my fascia/eaves in the front of my house. The area needing repair was on the valley jack, so not an easy area to address. Thank you to Brian and William who offered expert advice to correct the problem.
