We had two showers we wanted old, dated tile removed and new, large profile tile installed. The showers were simple and straightforward. Carifa supplied the Schluter materials and installed them (Kerdi Board wall substrate behind the wall tile and Ditra Uncoupling membrane under floor tile). These are without an equal. There was a lack of communication during the home visit to prepare a quote. It was disappointing. We almost cancelled the entire project with Carifa based off that experience. The Owner, Joe, got involved when I called the Carifa office after no response from the salesperson. Joe listened to my experience, took over preparing an accurate proposal/quote. An important detail to note: each homeowner is responsible to select and purchase any tiles and certain Schluter products like edge or transition profiles. You can work with any supplier you want. The salesperson will steer you to The Tile Shop. They said they used to work at The Tile Shop. We had already purchased our wall and floor tiles from Floor and Decor. Carifa's salesperson started telling me we had purchased factory defective materials and subpar materials; something that is not true at all!! We had not picked up the tile from Floor and Décor yet so they did not "see" our materials but made these disparaging remarks. Why did we continue with Carifa? Because they used the Schluter products and had the installation craftsman. After getting past the preconstruction details Carifa sent Paco who prepared the areas where work was performed by covering all floors and furniture with protection. The same day Paco demolished and removed all the existing wall tile and materials down to the framing. Paco is a hard working, focused worker who kept our home clean during the demolition phase. No dumpster was provided during demolition and demolished materials were piled on our driveway until a dumpster was delivered a day or so later. After demolition Jack and Pedro arrived to complete the prep work and begin installation of the Schluter wall and floor products. I recognized quickly that Jack is a talented craftsman understanding that the products being installed under the finished tile are key to the final product. Jack kept us informed with everything he was doing including asking for our input regarding installation preferences. I cannot say enough good things about Jack. After he completed all the installation Carifa advertises they perform a "final walkthrough." It's also in the proposal. Jack completed all installation on Wednesday February 25th. On Tuesday of the following week, March 3rd, I had no communication from anyone at Carifa. There were a couple things that Carifa did not perform; sealing the grout that the proposal said would be performed 96 hours after the tile was grouted and reinstalling our toilet removed to install new floor tile. I reinstalled the toilet. I emailed Joe at Carifa of these items and asked for a (credit) for the items not performed. I never got a reply. On March 3rd I contacted Tom, Carifa's project manager, and asked for a status update and requested a date for the "final walkthrough." Tom came out the next day, Wednesday March 4th; one week after Jack had completed all installation work. Tom acknowledged that Joe had received my request/email for the deduct for work not performed and forwarded it to Tom. He spent a few minutes (literally a few) looking at both showers. Having performed hundreds of similar "close out final inspection walkthroughs" on projects I was ready to bring my Carifa experience to some closure. 3 weeks after the "final walkthrough" I received a final invoice that did deduct what I had requested. I promptly (the same day) paid the balance due. There has been no "thank you for your business" nor any communication from Carifa whatsoever. Here's my point: people who choose Carifa are going to pay a premium price for the privilege of having work performed. Carifa may use the finest materials available and have craftsman like Jack installing materials, but when everything before and after Jack is bush league and amateurish it sours the experience and make no mistake about it: you are paying for service too. The bottom line: would I choose Carifa again? Maybe. Having more 4 decades of high end construction experience I have not often been "the customer" but I know what a customer is. I moved forward with my eyes wide open hoping I would get the end result I sought after: two showers that will provide years of trouble free use. I believe I received that. Each person who has read this far will need to make their own decision. Lots of Yelp reviewers did not have this experience. My Ratings: pre and post construction experience gets a One (1). The installation work performed by Paco, Jack, and Pedro: I give Jack a 10, but Yelp limits the highest choice to 5 out of 5. Overall Carifa gets a generous three (3). read more

We were having 2"x 2" tile installed . There was a small installation error and the new additional replacement tile was from a different lot and the colors didn't match. Joe assured us that he would rectify everything , which he did without hesitation. We decided to go with the 18" x 36" tile which was a better color match and do an envelope design on the floor. It turned out better than we could have imagined. We are extremely happy with the craftsmanship and professionalism of all the workers and would definitely recommend Carifa Tile. Description of Work: We had the shower seat torn out and replaced with granite. The seat front, sides and shower basin were removed and replaced with tile. Two grab bars and three shelves were installed. read more

Worked with Carifa Tile to fix a leak in our primary shower floor. Of course, we weren't able to match the tile of the shower floor to the original, but they were super accommodating of all the different changes that my husband and I made as we tried to figure out the best way to design it. We're so excited about how it turned out and glad that they were so flexible. Joe and his team are all consummate professionals. Highly recommend! read more

A friend of ours referred us to Carifa Tile and, with this being our very first remodeling project ever, I wasn't quite sure what to expect. Joe and his team did a great job of listening to my design ideas to remodel my bathroom and provided a quick and fair quote. During the remodel (which lasted about 2.5 weeks), Joe communicated with me every day to let me know what work was going to get done and that day and who from his crew would be at my house to perform the work. Every member of the crew was polite, thoughtful and took great care to protect my home. The end result is just absolutely spectacular! We couldn't have dreamed of a better final product. The success of this project has given us the confidence to know that we *can* tackle a remodel and it's relatively painless! read more

I'm so pleased with my new tile floor. From beginning to end, they were professionals- great, hardworking work ethic, honest, attentive to details, careful with covering and handling items, great communication on progress and any issues. I would highly recommend Carifa Tile to friends and family and would definitely use for all future projects. This was a large project with multiple adjoining areas where the same tile needed to be removed and replaced. (Entry, kitchen, dining, hallway, bathroom, laundry, pantry) Additionally, concrete slab needed repairs. Joe offered excellent suggestions for tile. The tile crew gave exceptional attention to work. read more

Spoke with knowledgeable individuals, however was given the most ridiculous quote for a project - $12k to install a 300 sqft kitchen (tile not included). That is more than half what I spent to place hardwoods in 1500 sqft of my home. I actually laughed and so did several others that I shared the estimate with. All other quotes I obtained were ~$3k. Do not recommend wasting your time talking with them unless you're willing to spend a fortune. read more

Very pleased with Carifa Tile on our herringbone tile installation in our small master bath. Having spent my career in the commercial/industrial construction service industry I was impressed by the professionalism of Larry Moers during the estimate phase and only solidified with my zoom review of the estimate with Joe Carifa. Could not be more pleased with the end product. Crews were on time, professional, protected all areas surrounding the work and sawing/mixing area. Clean up was as If they had never been there! 100% recommended! Thanks Joe & Larry! read more

I am a local realtor and one of my VERY "type A" clients used your company and said you were the BEST home contractor she's ever worked with and she has remodeled 2 very large homes over the years, so she's used and worked with all sorts of businesses. Her review was all I needed to know... that I wanted to work with you. From scheduling, to the timely communication, to the professional staff, every detail was perfect and beyond my expectations. I will definitely recommend your services any chance I get! read more

I was under a tight timeframe to have our kitchen floor tiles replaced. I reached out to a number of companies and by far the most prompt and professional to get back to me was Carifa Tile. They came in, give me a quote, and were able to get to work shortly thereafter. We were very happy with their job. We also live in historic older neighborhood with questionable subfloors but they were not deterred and did an awesome job. Additionally, the team left a few scratch marks on our wood floors but immediately paid for a company to come in and refinish them. They now look better than they did before. I can't recommend Carifa Tile highly enough. I would use them again for our next project. read more

Carifa Tile did an amazing job on my kitchen job. Joe was extremely communicative and helpful every step of the process. His team did incredible work putting in a glass tile backsplash along with LED lights under the cabinets. We have a small kitchen in our condo, but the tile and lighting really makes it look spacious and luxurious. Would absolutely work with them again in the future. read more

One of the most positive customer service experiences I've had post-Covid. Used them for new kitchen backsplash tile. Started with the friendly phone conversation with Larry, who came out quickly and gave us an estimate. Followed by a phone call with the Owner, Joe, who actually took the time to review the entire estimate before we signed! And he gave suggestions on where we may save money. Finally with the very pleasant tile installer who arrived on time each day. Highly recommended! read more

They did an AMAZING job and exceeded our expectations. Angelo took great care of our hope , protected the floors and was extremely considerate of our time and our home . We were skeptical as this was 4'x8' porcelain lie that came from Italy and went on our wall . I would definitely recommend them and will use them again in the future. The follow thru and communication by Ciera was also perfect , whic is rare in these days read more

I had three bathrooms remodeled by Carifa tile. They are exceptional. I have never experienced such professional tradespeople. The overall remodeling was nothing short of spectacular. I am not easily impressed but Joe Dismuke and Angelo are real masters of craftsmanship and fit and finish. They take precautions on the front side to protect your home and they cleanup everyday. I have recommended them to several friends. read more

We ultimately used Carifa Tile for an almost-complete master bathroom renovation. Carifa Tile is one of the best service providers we have worked with for a home-improvement project. It started with Joe Carifa's spending a substantial amount of time with us trying to diagnose the cause of the leak in our master shower and then giving us thoughtful suggestions about how we could either fix the leak or ideas for a new shower. We ultimately had Carifa tear out the existing tile shower, tiled wall, and bathroom floor. Carifa installed a new porcelain-tile shower and porcelain-tile floor. Angelo, the installer, is a true craftsman. We are so pleased with the outcome. I also appreciate the work, and patience with all of my questions, of Joe, Ciera, and Angelo and his team. I am not easy to please, but they remained steadfast in their commitment to pleasing me and doing the job the right way. We definitely will use Carifa for our next bathroom project. read more
