    I would give Soul Dayla 6 stars if I could. Her excellent work aside (see pictures), she is overall just so great to work with. I basically told her what I roughly had in mind (river rock floor and a different color marble for my bench) and she; - helped me come up with design ideas - suggested a great store / warehouse (Best Tile, SF) to pick out great options - met me there to help get samples so I can try things out and live with them before making my decision - went to the store next day to pick my selections up so I didn't have to leave work - did it all within 3 days! I will be working with her again and already referring my friends.

    This review is looooong overdue for the amazing work done by Dayla Soul. Our house was built in 1956 and has remained virtually untouched (thankfully!) by the previous owners - but when we decided to add a room and bathroom downstairs, we were nervous about how the new space would flow with the old. I spoke to many different contractors who all wanted to create a "modern" space, and wouldn't listen to my concerns about wanting to match the original tile bathroom upstairs and keep the charm. Soul was eager to help me create a bathroom that I loved and that would look like it belonged in our home. Soul helped me to find and pick the right materials and did an amazing job executing an installation that has that old charm feel, with some touches of modern. I could not be more thrilled with the way this bathroom turned out. I'd also like to note my appreciate for the communication and relationship that Soul and I built throughout the process. Being a female, I've had issues in the past with other contractors either not listening to my thoughts or discounting my opinions, but this absolutely did not happen with here. Soul listened to my every thought and made the space come alive! I could not have asked for a better all-around experience. Thank you Soul!

    Dayla Soul Tile transformed our front cement outdoor patio (very tired) and was very professional and skilled at laying down a tile I had selected that had a specific way it needed to be applied in order to keep the pattern consistent. Dayla Soul thought though all the variable and all decisions were great. A great experience working with Dayla Soul Tile. The tile was Mutina Azulej from stonesource.com

    I've had a couple of great experiences with Soul, she is meticulous and very collaborative with the whole process. I love the fact that she takes her time to make everything right and has a great sense of humor and is just plain nice! I've shared some pictures of the bathroom tile she recently completed for us. I highly recommend her work.

    It is hard to get a good photo of the 'wave' from tiles being different distances out from the wall, but here's one example.

    Unprofessional quality of work/results. Soul retiled our kitchen roughly a year ago. I've attached photos so you can judge whether you would want this tile job. We've sat with it for a year and decided we will probably need to redo the job. I really can't understand what happened because there are positive reviews and much better looking photos on yelp. Soul was nice while she was on-site, but when we asked if she could fix any of these problems she wasn't willing to make it right. The problems: 1. The tile isn't straight or well aligned. We used Health Ceramic tiles that are hand cut. Before beginning, she mentioned she had worked with them before. She didn't sort them for size, and we had bought an extra 25% tile so the oddly sized pieces could be left out. At the end, she said the result is what you should expect with heath tile. I don't think anyone would buy Health tiles if the results looked like this. 2. The grout thickness varies all over the wall. Even along a vertical line the grout thickness changes from thick to thin. Spacers were used and even with varying sized tiles the grout thickness should be uniform. Not sure how this happened. Also, some of the tiles are slightly rotated which makes the grout thickness vary even across a single tile! 3. The edges have extremely small pieces ( 1/2"-1", roughly 1/10th of a full piece) that shouldn't be there. The tile should have started from the corners and ended on a full piece. This was easily possible in our kitchen. We weren't asked about whether these small tiles would be OK and when we pointed it out she said it was too late and we'd have to rehire her to get it fixed. 4. Tiles stick out of the wall (different depths), so the wall isn't flat and has a wavy appearance. 5. During the removal of our old tile, the demo crew chipped our granite backsplash in a number of places (~20) as they used a crowbar to pry against the backsplash and tile. The chips are mostly small with a few larger ones. 6. None of the drywall around the edges was patched for us or sanded down smooth. This left us with a half finished job. 7. In one place, the tile and edge material overhung the edge of the drywall, leaving an unsightly view from the other side. Some quick-dry mud was slapped over it and left for us to sand and paint. The overhang was pretty large, so even after adding the mud, it still looks like a mistake. 8. The tile overlapped our cabinets, which didn't make sense to us (the previous tile didn't go above the cabinet line). When we asked if they could be removed, we were told it was too late. I think because she'd have to redo the schluter.

    Absolutely fantastic experience doing a new bathroom floor, tub surround, and kitchen backsplashes in my SF rental apartment. I live in LA so the whole project was remote and Dayla went way above and beyond with videos and photos to make the whole process smooth. She even helped find details that needed attention and was flexible when our counter installation was delayed by 2 weeks. Can't say enough good things about the tile work, attention to detail, and incredibly friendly and chill communication.

    Five stars! I reached out to Elemental Tile for a quote on a backsplash install project. The quote was fair and on the lower end for the 6+ quotes that I received, and I saw they had experience with Fireclay Tile which was our tile vendor. I called when the tile arrived and they were able to install later that week. They installed in one day and came to grout the following morning, and left my kitchen and bathroom clean. My kitchen looks wonderful and I'm really happy with the job they did.

    There was not a single part of our tiling experience with Dayla Soul that wasn't perfect. From scheduling to execution to cleanup, everything was professional, trustworthy, and fast. We had already chosen and purchased our tile, but they had expert insight to help us select a grout that was the best option; not just for our need as a kitchen backsplash, but also for our aesthetic. It was a quick, two-day installation job for which Soul and her assistant were on time each morning. Expectations were set, and we knew exactly what would happen day-to-day. The job was cleaned up the first evening in such a way that we weren't impacted overnight, AND that Soul and team could hit the ground running the next morning. They worked effortlessly around the wiring locations for our under-cabinet lights (which were not installed yet). We were given clear instructions on how to care for the job for the first 24 hours. Soul and her assistant were kind to our pets and listened to great music while they worked : ) I have recommended Dayla Soul already, and will continue to recommend them, not only to friends who might have a tiling need, but to tradespeople friends who might want to work with a reliable tiling contractor on other jobs. We were happy to support a small, SF, woman-owned business. Soul, Thank You!!

    I wanted to upgrade my wet bar backsplash to match my kitchen. I thought about DIY'ing myself, but after a failed attempt with a tile cutter I reached out to Dayla via Yelp. She was super responsive with a quote and (because it was a small project & I already had the tile) her team was able to come do the work in less than a week. While onsite everyone was so nice. Top notch service and communication! The work was completed quickly and came out beautifully. I couldn't be happier with the experience and results. =)

    Dayla Soul was a pleasure to work with and we couldn't be happier with the job she did on our kitchen tile backsplash. Our tile vendor Heath Ceramics advised only working with a contractor who has installed Heath before due to the complexities of installing handmade tile, and we were thrilled to see, in addition to all the raving reviews, some photos of beautiful installations she had done with Heath tile here on Yelp. Soul was warm, friendly, fast, and professional -- and we are incredibly happy with the installation! What an easy, pleasant process from start to finish. We will hire Soul again to re-tile our fireplace very soon and we highly recommend her for any tile job you may need!

    Soul quickly answered Yelp, asked a few questions, gave a quote and BAM, arrived the next week and did a fantastic job. Will use again for sure.

    New Tile job!
