Tile Warehouse and manufacturer - they sell all types of tile for inside and outside the home.
Homeowner_comments: “I looked at a lot of tile stores - this was by far the best pricing/quality combination. However, I almost overlooked them because they were so busy every time I went there, it was hard to get someone to help me. Apparently I'm not the only one who has discovered this great store! I'm glad I didn't give up because when it was finally ‘my turn’ they were very helpful. The best part is that we saved thousands of dollars and are very happy with our tile.”

Our roof has been in place for over 10 years with minimal signs of degradation and absolutely zero leaks. The seal on the upper surface is still very effective. Mr. Watkins comes by and inspects the roof every 3 years or so. Watkins built a slope out from the centerline on all originally flat regions; so that we have no problems with puddle formation from dew or rain.”
South Coast Roofing
Ed Lambert
P.O. Box 7305
Orange 92863-7305
(714) 744-5996
Tar and gravel roof, plus additional insulation, and new sky lights.
Homeowner comments: “In June 2001 - Ed Lambert and his crew of 8+ supplied us with a new tar and gravel roof, adds insulation, and several skylights. This very professional company ran on schedule and cleaned up well afterwards. Not the lowest in price but with this very big and very messy job, we were so glad we had selected them. Tip: It’s good to have the wiring checked before the new roof goes back on. On our 1800 sq. foot Eichler, the entire roof removal and put-back process took over a week. They have a good guarantee on their work. A new roof is a major commitment so be careful in your selection of companies.”
Homeowner comments: “My roof had leaked and another roofer came in with a high estimate. South Coast Roofing said I didn’t need a new roof, just caulking around those pipes that stick up. Honest, huh?

Foam insulated , composition and tile. Free estimates and 10% Senior Citizen Discount!
Homeowner comments: “My biggest fear was that , someone would put a nail through the wiring or somehow cut a wire and we wouldn’t be able to use an important outlet. Fortunately, that did not happen and we got a great roof. High quality, competitively priced, sheet foam insulation with a modified cap sheet (the very best). This is long lasting and a low maintenance roof.
Homeowner comments: “We are very particular about our Eichler and needed a contractor who could give us high quality work, maintain the integrity of the design and not disturb the electrical wiring. Most of all, the new insulation made a huge difference in our summer comfort and winter heat efficiency.
