Sylvia, the $500.00 we charged was for broken tiles and reseal pipes and probably your chimney. The chimney was sealed. It turns out you have a much bigger problem. We tried to fix it with a small caulking job but sometimes you have to do a much bigger job. If you have question, please contact me (Brian) at cutsomerservice@southcountyroofing.com and I will be happy to discuss this with. Maybe there's something we can do for you, still.

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 …

Matt, I am sorry this has happened. About the felt. We can not know for sure if the felt is bad in all, some, or most areas, because 100% of the felt is covered by the tiles. We have to then go by the age of the roof. I tried research your name in our database to learn more about your job but your name on here does not match the names in our call sheet. So, unfortunately I just have to take your word for everything and I can not say what we actually did or did not do. It makes accurately responding to this type of situation impossible for me. If you could please call our office at 949-597-0192 and mention you would like to speak to Brian Atkins. Leave them your number and I will reach out to you and we will do our best to respond appropriately to all your issues. It is our goal to only have satisfied customers. It is obvious we have failed. We apologize for this experience.

I highly, highly recommend Jesse of South County Roofing. In an era where good workman are often hard to find, he is an all-star. He has taken care of our roof for several roof and kept it excellent condition due to his tile work. Jesse is reliable, knowledgeable, and very easy to work with. He is the only person I want working on my roof.

I hired Brian at South County Roofing for an independent inspection on a property I was considering. He was fantastic and extremely knowledgeable down to the make and manufacturer of a 2007 clay roof tile. He didn’t upsell and clearly pointed out what needed to be repaired and what could be delayed. Thank you Brian!

Thank you, Rececca, for taking the time to write us a review about the roof leak repairs we did on your Coto De Caza Home. I hope you were able to find a painter for your fascia after our last talk. After you get the home painted give us a call and we will come back out for a roof inspection and make sure they didn't break any roof tiles.

Hello Donna, thank you so much for the nice review! But I believe you are trying to leave a review for a different "South County Roofing" based in Florida. We are based in California.

I had Jessie come out and do an estimate on my roof. What a nice guy he was honest and efficient and instead of trying to sell me a new roof, he explained to me what was really going on and what I personally could do about it and didn’t try to scam me like the other multiple roofers that have been out to see me. Most of the roofers in Orange County want a $5000-$10,000 minimum to do anything to your house so they just tell you that it cost 5000 to fix something small. Jessie did not do that. I will be referring him to everyone

Thank you, Kathy, for taking the time to share your experience. We appreciate the opportunity to assist with your tile roof leak repair and evaluation. We’re glad to hear that Jesse took the time to clearly explain what was happening with your roof and provided honest guidance without pressure. Our company focuses exclusively on roof repairs and accurate leak diagnosis, not selling work that isn’t needed. That approach is intentional and central to how we operate. Thank you for trusting South County Roofing with your home in Huntington Beach. We truly appreciate your recommendation and referrals.

Hello Gary, I see you are from Florida and trying to do a review of South County Roofing and Sheet Metal in Florida. We are not that company. This review is for South County Roofing in Orange County, Ca and we are in no way affiliated with the company who did your roof. I think you would better serve your purpose of placing your experience with the company who did your roof on their Google business listing. Based on the title of your photos I found this company - https://g.co/kgs/ef5BJ5r

We have engaged South County Roofing several times now to replace broken tiles and general repair for the roof and most recently to repair a roof leak. The crew is always professional and their pricing is fair and Brian will never ask you to do more than what is needed. So refreshing not to be gouged by a contractor.

South County Roofing earned a solid 10 rating! My neighbor had used this company the previous year and I was very impressed with their detailed workmanship and care they showed to both our properties. After my roof developed a leak during our recent storms, I did not hesitate to call Brian, an owner. Within 24 hours Brian returned my call and a date was scheduled for William to inspect my roof. William was awesome to work with throughout the entire repair process. He is exceptionally knowledgeable and provided me with repair options. William and Javier showed up on time each day and took great care to minimize further damaging my roof. Throughout the process William sent me photos of the damaged roof that reenforced his initial repair estimate. I knew the estimate was reasonable and fair. If I ever need another roof repair in the future, I will not hesitate to call this company.

Laguna Niguel Tile Roof Repair & Maintenance South County Roofing is in Laguna Niguel today completing tile roof repair and maintenance work on a concrete tile roof. This project includes replacing broken roof tiles, resetting slipped tiles, resealing roof flashings, and repairing areas where the old roofing paper has worn out. Tile roofs are durable, but they still need proper maintenance over time. Broken tiles, loose tiles, worn underlayment, and aging flashings can allow water to get under the roof system and lead to leaks during heavy rain. Our roof repair work focuses on finding the problem areas, correcting them properly, and helping extend the life of the existing tile roof without pushing unnecessary roof replacement. South County Roofing specializes in roof repairs, tile roof leak repair, roof maintenance, and roof inspections throughout Laguna Niguel and South Orange County. If you have broken tiles, slipped tiles, roof leaks, or worn flashing areas, we can inspect the roof and provide a repair estimate.Jun 16, 2026
