Granite name = Azul Bahia

Well, after 17 years it was time for my white-tile kitchen counter top to go, plus I needed more cupboard space down below! I came up with my own design on how to do this and the next logical step was to decide what kind of counter top I wanted. After researching all the pluses/minuses of the various countertop materials, I settled on Granite. I must have visited 10-15 different warehouses to narrow down the different color and patterns of granite that suited my taste. On thing I learned was that you could see the same "slab" in one warehouse and that one can look so much better than the same type slab in all the other places. A person really has to drive around and compare. Low and behold, I found a few slabs that really pop-ed or "stood out" compared to the others. I purchased my slabs from a place in Burlingame called TEZ marble which was a smaller warehouse than the others but the quality of their slabs seemed to standout more in terms of beauty compared to the other warehouses. I then solicited about 5 fabricators to bid on the information they wanted, pics included, and I was surprised that some would look at my project and not even turn around a proposal to me. It was easy to narrow the fabricators down to 2 and I decided to go with Sean at Del Rio. I like the way they documented the details of the job and how things would get priced out. I found their bid to be competitively priced and they gave me a good feeling they would work with me on any un-foreseen issues. There was also one thing which gave Del Rio a heavy bias in the selection process too. When I was looking at slabs in the east bay, a guy there asked me who my fabricator was going to be. When I told him either the one business or Del Rio, he shot back and said Del Rio had an awesome saw and that they were working on some of his material for him. I thought that was great feedback between two pros from within the industry. Why roll the dice with a different fabricator and take the risk their equipment may not be the best. So I selected Del Rio for the job. So I arranged to have the slabs shipped to Del Rio down 101 in Menlo Park. Well, there was a problem with these slabs I learned later. The slabs I selected had a few very small cracks in them in critical places. I was so happy Sean at Del Rio caught this before they were taken off the delivery truck. He saved my butt by not signing for the delivery. To make a long story shorter, Sean accompanied me back to the warehouse to re-select a few more slabs to make sure things were right. I was happy Tez marble made things right. One thing to note on this job is I was able to do 95% of all the preparation work. Del Rio sent one of their guys to explain what had to be done and he supplied all the whats and whys. Pepe was a very patient/mellow guy and took the time to explain why everything had to be the way it needed to be, and once I had a look at a few Youtube videos, I could not believe how quickly I was able to cleanly remove the white tile countertops with minimal mess and energy. One or two plumbing vids later and I was all ready for Pepe's inspection. He was happy with what he saw and immediately built the measurement templates. Since I needed just over 1 slab to accomplish the work, it made sense to use the extra slab material and include a few waterfalls at the sides of the cabinets. A waterfall is when you continue the countertop with a 90 degree bend vertically which ends at the floor. This made my finished product change from looking very nice to AWESOME ! Pepe and the team were just great. I am very happy how things went. In terms of price, by luck, I stumbled across a guy who was also having his kitchen done. He considered himself too old to be doing what I had done and did not want the hassle of doing his own prep work. I think his contractor really raked him over the coals. His job cost more than double of what I paid so it helps a lot if you can watch youtubes and do some of the things on your own. Bottom line is I am very happy with the way things worked out and my countertops are just awesome. Great job Del Rio.

Marble Fireplace surround and wall covering

I can be a very tough customer if everything does not go well with a project, but I can honestly say this was the best experience I have ever had with a contractor. We had Del Rio install a marble fireplace surround that went up 17' on the wall, and it came out stunning! Everyone we interacted with in the company was friendly, professional and on their game. The gals in the office always responded immediately to any/every question or request. And the guys that did the installation arrived on time, and always cleaned up after they were done for the day. But most importantly they did an outstanding job on the installation, using precision laser tools and lots of raw strength to lift the heavy slabs up and on the wall. And to top it all off, they were by far the least expensive of 3 bids we received on the project. I highly recommend this company to anyone looking for stone fabrication and installation.

Our job consisted of pulling up rooms of old carpet as well as an old kitchen hardwood floor, and replacing it all with 3/4" engineered wood from a Canadian company called Mirage. Elite's quote for materials and labor was not the most expensive nor the least, but when going through our house, Aleksey thought of questions, spotted issues, AND thought of solutions that no one else had asked about or even noticed. He was also the only one who told us that he could carefully remove our elaborate wooden baseboards without breaking most or all of them. Every other place simply said we would likely need to replace it all. As a result, their pricing was actually lower than anyone else if you take into account the cost we saved by not having to replace one single piece of baseboard. He was meticulous, measuring three times before ordering materials just to make sure he got the numbers right. Installation went smoothly and included work like grinding down areas of our foundation that were not smooth, moisture testing, coating of the slab with a moisture barrier, etc. They also made sure they installed the wood in a manner that will allow the kitchen appliances to be removed without damaging the floor, when the time comes that they need to be replaced. Again, no one else we spoke with even mentioned any of this. There were transitions between floorings of some rooms that were at different heights. For some of the areas, Aleksey did not care for the off the shelf transitions that companies sell. Instead, he and his crew crafted their own transition pieces & thresholds that looked beautiful and did the job. Far more elegant and unintrusive. They did the same for the transitions between stone surrounding fireplaces and one bathroom. Everything was carefully thought through. The guys showed up at 8 AM and sometimes worked until 5 or 6 pm if they were trying to get certain things done. They were professional, knowledgeable, friendly, polite and cleaned up after themselves. Communication with Aleksey was always good. Elite Hardwood & Flooring is not simply an installation company. They are craftsmen that take a great deal of pride in their work and the results show it. We could not be happier with the job they did and highly recommend them.

I recently moved into a new house and the floors just seemed too yellow. That's when I reached out…read moreto elite hardwood flooring. Aleksey was able to provide me a quote over the phone and shortly after came over to take measurements. We had roughly 500 square feet that need to be refinished and it took a total of 3 days. I was super impressed with the finished work! One of the reason I enjoyed working with aleksey and Igor is because they also took a consultative approach and gave suggestions to help me find a stain that would work best for what I wanted to achieve. Would recommend!

This is a very delayed review- I had my hardwood floors redone by Peninsula Floors last year, but I…read morestill find myself thinking about the experience so I decided it might be helpful to others to share. The bottom line is that the bulk of the work was good, I'm overall satisfied with the results, and am glad that we got the floors refinished. However, there were several details about the experience that would make me hesitate to recommend Peninsula to friends or others looking to redo their floors. - I was initially quoted ~7-8 working days to redo the floors. The initial work actually took closer to 13 working days, and it took another 7 working days on top of that to complete followup items after I reviewed the initial work. To be fair, I was traveling for about 5 of those working days during some of the initial work and probably caused a bit of delay in my own responses being slow, but I also don't think that all of the delay was due to myself. - When provided stain samples, I was initially provided the wrong names corresponding to the samples. This was only noticed because I asked for another set of samples in another area of the house and was confused as to why the colors varied so much, and asked about it- otherwise it's very possible I would have selected a completely different color than what I intended. - There was some damage done by the sander to our metal stair railing, which they did patch up with paint, but it's still visible where the damage was. Also, initially only some of the stairs in the home had the scotia trim replaced- when I asked the ones where the previous paint clearly showed they also used to have trim, they just added it to all of the stairs regardless of which ones did or didn't have it before. There was also a tricky area in a closet that I said I would be okay not refinishing, and instead it was sanded but not refinished due to not being able to get into that area- I would have just preferred the initial topcoat wasn't removed in that case, because that area is now just unprotected wood. None of these details were mentioned to me or provided as project updates until I asked about them. - Lastly, after I had sent the final payment through, I realized some of our doorstops were missing after having been removed from the trim to not get in the way of the sanders. I asked where the team may have left them so I could reattach them and got no response. It's not a big deal, they were less than $5, but later, after moving in, I also asked about if there were cleaning/maintenance products they would recommend and also got no response. Being completely ghosted after having dealt with some of the difficulties mentioned above really left me feeling like they totally wrote me off as a customer and was not a pleasant way to end the project. I think they do decent work, but I suspect they're a bit stretched thin and smaller/less important jobs are not supervised as much and don't seem like they have the same quality bar. If I were to do it again, I feel like I would have been happier supervising more closely from the start. Edit- I appreciate Juan's response (below and privately), however I do want to make clear that not everything was addressed as I was told they would be. For example, for the incompletely sanded and unfinished area of the closet I mentioned above, I was told it would at least have some form of finish applied, which never happened. There were a few other details like this, but at some point it was no longer worth my time to chase them down especially as we were getting close to our move in which we initially thought we would have far more buffer for.
