Amazing stone options. We are so happy with our kitchen countertops. They helped us match what would work best with our cabinets and flooring. Mike and Cindi were great to work with. read more

Sorry, this is so disappointing. Yes, it's "a natural stone product", however we didn't order it with a chip, only to be covered up or concealed with epoxy. The seam down the center of the sink, the joints weren't flush and are uneven and the bullnose edge doesn't even line up. Did not expect that we would end up with such poor quality from a company who has been in business so long. read more

My husband and I loved that Mike was no nonsense straight to the point when we first visited his shop. There was a variety of quartz, granite and marble to choose from and Mike was glad to show us ones we may have missed. Once we found what we loved, measurements were taken, quote was given. Day of installation was quick and loved that they cleaned up afterwards. Respecting our home and space was greatly appreciated. We are even happier with the work done. Our little kitchen is now a beautiful kitchen. Thanks Mike! We will be calling again when we are ready to do our bathrooms. read more

Mike & Cindi of Design Images have an excellent selection, are fairly priced, and their manufacturing is second to none! I underwent a major remodel and budgets quickly became very important. Myself and my designer took the selected material for each space to three different local granite yards; Mike & Cindi beat all of their prices. Also, the manufacturing/install of solid surface counter tops should not be overlooked! Craftsmanship is key because a botch job will quickly ruin a beautiful surface. The state of the art technology and manufacturing process really came through when my counters were installed. I have and will continue to HIGHLY recommend Design Images over and over again. Thanks guys! read more

We hired Mike to install quartz countertops in our kitchen remodel in June 2015. He came out to template and saw that our cabinets and sub-top were installed and level but our doors were not yet put on. Then he came back and installed the quartz counters and our doors were still not put on. He didn't say anything about the doors needing to be on either time he was in our kitchen. When the countertop installation was complete, we tried to put our doors on but they wouldn't close because of the countertop overhang. This was the case on every single lower door and drawer. We lowered all the hinges to their lowest setting but the countertop was still in the way. We called Mike on a Saturday and told him what was happening and he said that we should have had our doors and drawers on before he templated. After a short conversation where my husband asked him to come out and look, he said that it was our fault and our problem and then hung up on my husband. I tried to email Cindi the following week to see if we could arrange a time for Mike to take a look. Just to see if there was a way to trim the overhang or something. After lots of back and forth emails we were told that it was our fault, we should have known to have the doors on, and they would not be doing anything to help us. So for the last year we have had no lower doors and drawers on our kitchen cabinets while we save up the money to replace the faulty countertop. It's not worth the money you save by working with Design Images. Literally, you get what you pay for. Faulty installation and poor customer service. read more

Love! Love! Love! Can i just say that this was the best home remodeling experience, yet? When we first visited their shop they were the 4th place we had been to. Mike and Cindi helped us define what we were looking for and were so incredibly gracious and knowledgeable and not the slightest bit pushy. We walked out of there with my husband and i praying that they were reasonable enough us to use them. Imagine my joy when they were the lowest bid with the most options! And, our kitchen would only be down for 24 hours! Three weeks later, we have the most amazing kitchen, only 5 hours of demo and install and everything was cleaned up!! A 5 star experience! Thanks again Mike and Cindi!!!!! read more

I had a vision in my mind of what I wanted my fireplace to look like. I sent Pinterest pics to Cindi and Mike to show them what I was looking for. Mike helped me pick the perfect marble slab. The work was done fast and efficiently and I was beyond thrilled with the final results! Even better than I was hoping for. I have a lot of house that needs redoing, their pricing was fair and the finished job was beyond my expectations. I will be using Design Images for the rest of my remodel. read more

My wife and I are delighted with the thoroughness and how nice our new countertops look in our kitchen, bathrooms and laundry. Mike and Cindy keep us informed as the project unfolded from design, measurement and installation to get a beautiful result. We are truly grateful for their help with our projects. read more

We hired DI to fabricate and install countertops for our remodeled kitchen and two bathrooms over the course of two years. It was a pleasant experience and we can only recommend Mike and Cindi's expertise. While it is true that It may take a little longer to get an estimate sometimes, it is worth the wait as the craftsmanship speaks for itself. Also they are happy to order any material they do not have in their extensive stock. Would recommend to anyone without hesitation. read more

Mike and his crew made installing granite in our kitchen much easier than we anticipated. We selected the slab and he and his crew did the rest. He had good advice for us (this is our first remodel experience) on different aspects of the remodel. Demo and install in one day and cleaned up after. Couldn't be happier with the entire experience. read more

We had our kitchen bathroom counters done by them. In the end, I am halfway satisfied with the work but not with their customer service. First, we went to get an estimate. There was no one in the showroom. The door was unlocked but no one was there. After standing around for about 10 minutes, someone came out of the backroom. This was something that continued to happen several times in the following months. Sometimes someone was there, most of the time we had to wait for someone to even show up. The estimate took a very long time to be emailed back to us. However, once it was done and the contact signed, they promised a specific time and stuck the schedule. They even came and demo-ed and installed the granite in less than one day. The granite was beautiful and everything fit beautifully. We were very very happy. But it was short lived. First, we noticed there were tons of debris under the countertop inside the cabinets. Not just a handful, but several dust pans full. Even after over a year later, some debris will get dislodged as I move things around in my cabinets and new debris will fall down to this day! This is gross and unacceptable. Secondly, there was a small hairline crack in the granite near the sink! We discovered this within a couple of days of the install. Once of those things that's hard to see at first because of the pattern of the granite, but once you know its there its all you can see. Mike came back and he "fixed it" by putting some kind of glue or sealer on it, but its still very visible and it bothers me that we have a brand new countertop with a crack in it already! Thirdly, they installed the new undermount sinks and sealed it. We didn't use the sink for 2 whole days to make sure it was fully cured. Within 2 days of actually using water on it, it began to bubble up and peel off. When Mike saw it he said it must be something we did, like use inappropriate soap (we use Dawn). He peeled it off and resealed it. Acted pretty annoyed about it while he did it. But said if it happened again we were just out of luck and were gonna have to live with it. Of course, within one day it started doing the same thing. We didn't want to deal with his annoyed attitude again, so we removed his sealer, went to Home Depot and got a white silicone sealer, and it the work ourselves. Guess what? Haven't had a problem with it for almost 2 years. After paying $6000 for granite and labor, I would've thought they would make sure the seal was done properly instead of blaming the soap and saying there's nothing they can do. Basically, the combo of dirty demo/install, cracked product, and bad service with the sealer make this place unfit for my business again. read more

Let's get something straight right off the bat: Mike has some great machinery that does excellent CNC work. What that means is that he can take a template from a sink, or whatever other cutout you may need done, and perform it with near perfection. Furthermore, his edge detail is really nice too. The mitered corner edge profile he performs is some of the best I've seen in the business. Here's what makes me cringe when I hear a client say they found their granite at Design Images: the owner. Mike. While he is talented, and does excellent work -- he's also a condescending jerk. I make it a point to avoid the jobsite when he's around. He cannot work with other people, he lacks communication skills when critical thinking is required to come up with a solution, and he'll be happy to tell you you're wasting his time if you need any advice on something that he doesn't want to do. My parents had him install some granite on a bathroom remodel they did a few years ago. He told my mom she was an idiot, to her face, in front of my father. Wow. SLO county doesn't have too many fabricator/installers that do the level of quality that Mike will do. But, I'd take ANY other vendor over him just so I don't have to deal with his rude demeanor. When I do have Mike on one of our jobs, I intentionally schedule him when no other sub-contractors will be around to prevent any scuffles. It's a shame that he can't focus on being a better team player. read more

I received an email from Yelp saying that my review was flagged for not meeting their guidelines. Apparently I wasn't specific enough about my experience here. I went in to match some travertine after calling and being put on hold then dismissed with a "You have to bring it in," and click, they hung up. A few days later when I went there, someone yelled at me that I couldn't park where I did. So I moved. Upon entering the store, there was a man on the phone. He ignored me for a few minutes until he was done with his phone call. I showed him my sample. He looked at it and said, "No, can't get that." No offer to look it up, no offer to try to match it, no offer to try and come up with an alternative. I got the impression I was bothering and irritating him so I left and went somewhere else where I was treated much more professionally. read more

Shame on me for not checking the online reviews before hiring these folks to work on our outdoor kitchen's counter. We dealt with Mike and his wife Cindi. All we needed was one counter with a BBQ cut out. On the positive, DI has a reasonable selection of slabs, and I was able to find what I was looking for. Cindi, though not necessarily nice, is not rude. However, in addition to being unresponsive, late, and delivering poor craftsmanship, Mike has the foulest, nastiest, most condescending and entitled attitude we have seen in a long time! After weeks of cajoling him to engage, he finally went to the property to template while we were not at home... during which time he urinated on our brand new house (caught on security cameras). Once we asked them to perhaps relieve themselves elsewhere on the 20 acres of wooded property and not against our master bedroom, they pouted and threatened to quit the project... no apologies. More weeks pass, and they finally install the counter with multiple issues. It has an asymmetric reveal -- 1.0" on one side, 1.5" on the other -- where it should have had no reveal at all. And the reveal has unfinished edges that expose the miter cuts! After another few weeks of emailing back and forth, he agreed to come by to see what could be done to mitigate the poor visual state of the counter. He arrived with a massive chip on his shoulder and within seconds he was barking, yelling and screaming at us, blaming us, the structure, the framing, our hand-drawn sketches, and everything else under the sun for the asymmetry and the crookedness of the counter! And the icing on the cake: he asserted that the unfinished exposed miter edges is "how things are done." Perhaps in your book, buddy! read more

We were remodeling our master bath and our contractor suggested we go to Design Images for the marble. I met Cindi and with her guidance I was able to find the exact marble slab I was hoping for. Cindi was so friendly and helpful and knowledgeable, she made the selection process a breeze! 6 weeks after coming out and measuring they were back for installation of my gorgeous marble vanity countertop which was even more beautiful than expected!! I absolutely would come back to them for my next project! read more

My countertops were just installed and I couldn't be happier!! They are gorgeous!!! Everything about Design Images was professional and perfect. Cindy was helpful and friendly without imposing her opinions unless asked.... Just exactly what you need when picking such an important part of your home! Mike and his crew were the best... A special note, at first glance, their pricing might seem a bit on the high side, but unlike others, you don't pay for the unused portion of the slab... You only pay for what you need... So, 1 1/2 slabs is what you need, 1 1/2 is what you pay for, not 2 slabs, like a lot of the others!! read more

Great quality granite with wonderful workmanship. We chose our slab and the cut and they took out the old and installed the new in a half day. I would highly recommend them. I would use them again for future projects. read more

Fast, Friendly, Professional service with excellent workmanship! Design Images did a great job on my granite installation and was much more affordable then other quotes I received. They performed the Demo, Preparation, Installations, and clean up all in about 3 hours. Design Images was a pleasure to work with and I am very glad I went with them. In my experience the quality, service, and cost could not be beat. read more

Mike and Cindi were very helpful from the start. Listen to Mike he is a professional and knows his job. His suggestions can make your project a real winner. I will post before and after pictures and you can judge. We are very pleased with the work and the finished product. There are always lots of different problems than come with a remodel. Mike and Cindi were very helpful in finding a way to get past the problems ~ they will work with you. read more

My experience with Design Images was disastrous. Mike is intimidating, rude and dishonest--after he has a contract with you. He does inferior work and will not return calls to finish work--except to threaten you! He installed a broken backsplash hoping I wouldn't notice. I had to have another company finish his inferior installation! Be prepared for a major headache with your remodel with DL. read more

We just had Design Images replace our bathroom and laundry room counters. They did our kitchen in January. Their selection of granite is good, their price is the best in the area, and most important, the work is fabulous. Mike and his crew are meticulous. I LOVE my new counters. Thank you! read more

We could not be happier with our new granite counter-tops recently installed by Design Images! The installation was fast; the workmanship is excellent. From our first visit to the showroom Mike was very helpful, offering suggestions without being pushy. His years of experience in the craft were of great benefit to us. The photos of other installations were extremely helpful in our decision-making process as well. While there were not as many slabs as some of the other granite yards we visited, the quality of the material at Design Images was impressive. In addition, of the five local installers from whom we got quotes, the price at Design Images was the best by far. We were treated in a professional manner by everyone on the Design Images staff. We highly recommend Design Images for your granite installation. read more

My husband and I used Design Images December 2017, to install granite counter-tops on our new kitchen cabinets. We visited several granite shops before making this decision. We are so pleased we did! The craftsmanship and attention to detail was more than we could have imagined. The lines and seams of the cuts are not even noticeable. It looks like a slab of granite was laid down and molded to conform to the different heights and levels where the granite changes. We literally went to the shop probably 35 times before committing to the texture and color of the granite we picked. There was a huge selection of granite in the colors we were looking at. We were able to view and touch the granite without any pressure or someone looking over our shoulder. We only paid for what we used! All the other granite shops wanted us to buy entire slabs, wasted granite and money. When looking for the right cabinet shop we were told "Design Images can sometimes be hard to work with". People you get what you pay for! Cabinets HAVE to be and should be constructed to account for finished granite edges. Most cabinet builders don't consider this, even after being told by granite installers to set the counter tops out to a certain measurement so the granite edges are perfectly set. Mike, Cindi, and Dave want you to get the kitchen of your dreams and they want to provide you with the best craftsmanship possible, if this makes them hard to deal with then you should probably consider installing tile. We can not express enough the quality, craftsmanship, attention to detail, and willingness to work with us they were able to provide. You will not have one regret using them for your next counter-top install. They are the best of the best. Thank you Mike, Cindi, and Dave. We have a kitchen that is so beautiful, more than we expected. read more

Mike did a real nice job on the granite vanity top and tub deck for our master bathroom. He uses state-of-the-art digitizing equipment to take the measurements of your layout as opposed to making templates out of wood slates like some other fabricators do. He uses CNC equipment to fabricate the slabs where others may be fabricating by hand. You can see much greater precision and quality in his work. He also puts more care into preparing and bonding the granite for the double thick edges of the slab so you don't see the seam nearly as much as with other fabricators we've used where you can see the seam a lot. He promptly showed up to do the measure after we signed the contract and installed the granite in a timely fashion. They would have got 5 stars but Design Images has a fairly limited slab inventory so you kind of find yourself settling on something they have in their yard where you might have found something you really like at another yard. Mike expresses reservations about fabricating slabs that come from other yards, which I can understand, since he doen't know what will be handed to him for fabrication and he would need to assume responsibility for it from that point on. read more
