Julian is your guy for tile work! His work is top notch superb, he charges a reasonable amount, he arrived earlier than I expected, he left the job site cleaner than when he arrived and best of all he is an excellent communicator. Thank you Julian, I saved your contact info for all future tile work. read more

We recently had the pleasure of meeting Julian and are very appreciative of his help! I usually only go off of personal recommendations when looking for help with a project, but opted to use a service because we were looking for something specific this time around. I had about four porcelain tiles that needed to be replaced and the grout fixed. Within less than 12 hours (I submitted my search request late Saturday night and got a call about 9am the next morning), Julian reached out and offered to help. I explained what we wanted to have done and he reassured me that it was something he felt comfortable doing, and then waited patiently for me to send him some pictures to provide an accurate quote and to address any other concerns I might have. I followed up the next morning with the pictures, and he confirmed how much the project would be, and we scheduled an appt for the next morning. I appreciated that he already had a plan in place to be extra safe with Covid precautions. The morning of our appt, he was communicative of when he would be arriving, took a look at the exact work that needed to be done, explained his plan in detail, and started right away. I had errands to run, but felt comfortable with taking off - leaving my husband to answer any questions he might have. He did an amazing job! He was thorough and made sure that he left our floor in a much better position than before he began. Honestly, I knew the people who had done the initial work weren't the most credible (were used by our landlord), so I really appreciate that Julian not only did the work that I requested, but took the time to fix the other team's errors to avoid more problems in the future. This act of honesty is a huge deal and why I wanted to leave a review: he could've simply patched up the work, knowing that the tiles would break again, ensuring more work from him in the future, but he made it a point to do the right thing. Our tiles look amazing and I'm enjoying not hearing a cracking sound whenever I walk into the room. They're secure, beautiful, and better than I had expected. I seriously dreaded this project, for months!, and feel silly for not having reached out sooner. I plan on reaching out to him for future projects, and can confidently trust that he'll do a great job, or that he'll recommend someone else if he can't. Thank you, Julian! read more

Julian is detail oriented, hard working, reliable and courteous. He helped fix the tile and grout in bathroom of my rental and took the extra time to help me install the toilet paper holder and shower attachment as well as leaving a little bit of cleaning agent to help maintain the tile. He takes great pride in his work and it shows in the product! read more

Raul thank you for saving us!!! We needed over 8 feet of travertine tile replaced & repaired in our kitchen and had a deadline to get the work done quickly. I had called over 10 companies and the only person who returned my call the same day was Raul. He's very genuine, honest, aaccommodating, and dependable. He came to the house the same day, gave us an estimate, and was able to start the work the following day. He did such an amazing job on the kitchen tile that we asked him to also remodel our old 1960s shower in the Master Bathroom with a beautiful marble tile with glass and stone mosaic border. In additon to this work, we also asked Raul to clean and reseal all our tile floors and granite countertops. We will continue to go to Raul each year to clean and reseal all our tile/granite and do any remodels or repairs. Give Raul a call, you will be very happy with his service!!! read more

I had a small job to cut some tiles on the bathroom walls for electrical outlets. I was able to get an appointment the same day and he did an excellent job by cutting the tiles very cleanly. The price was also very reasonable. Will definitely hire them again for any tile work. read more

Raul did an amazing job on my custom bathroom vanity top. The quality workmanship ensures that I will calling him in the future. He was polite, hard working, fast without rushing, clean and careful. He was simply amazing! Such a great experience and outcome! read more

I just moved into Evergreen area and my kitchen island was huge. I wanted someone to cut 2 sides and bull nose it. I was able to remove the top (with plywood attached to it) and was looking for a granite fabricator. Called several guys but none of them showed up for final work. Called Raul on Thursday evening @ 5:00 PM. He came next day at 7:30 AM, got me the final product at 2:00 PM same day. Now that is what I call service. He also cut the left over granite to fit it at another place. What I liked about him is commitment, delivery and his positive attitude. I will surely use and recommend him for any future stone work. read more

Excellent company...did everything I wanted fast and clean...would highly recommended Raul to anyone who needed work done...

Reached out to ESD to fix a crack in my granite by the sink. His workmanship, communication skills, professionalism and politeness put him above most contractors. Left a message and got a prompt call back. I provided the details and based on this he provide a quick estimate. We set a appointment and he then followed up with a quick text to confirm the date, time and price. He showed up on time and was very respectful of our house. He offered to put on shoe covers, put down floor protection and cleaned up the entire area after his work. He even sealed all the granite in my kitchen as a courtesy. He did a great job at repairing the crack and also sealed around the sink as an extra. I asked him to do some minor repairs on the granite edging and on my floor tile grout. He offered to do those as part of the cost. I paid him for those out of respect to his extra work. I would recommend him to my friends. If the wife would let me, I would like to have him come out and replace the floor on the downstairs. :) read more

Raul fixed a large crack in my granite counter top by the sink. He filled it and repaired it beautifully. He even fixed the missing caulk around the sink that caused the crack. Excellent communication and stuck to estimate. I was very pleased with the results. Raul really knows his granite and his trade. We will be using ESD Stone & Tile in the future. read more

This rating is long over due. I had reverse osmosis faucet hole bore on granite countertop & wood base. Raul was very professional & respectful. He wore shoe cover, taped up around his work area & had a drop cloth. He explained the process as he did the work from start to finish. I highly recommend his business. read more

Raul returned my call the next day and was able to come that week to drill a hole in granite for a reverse osmosis kit that I installed myself. (The other hard part was making a hole in the drainage pipe, which I did with a soldering iron -- open your windows for that). The charge was $125, and it took about 15 minutes including set up time. It's a lot louder than you think when you're drilling a granite countertop, but that part only took about 30 seconds. I wouldn't try it yourself, even after watching many YouTube videos, unless you've got other granite to practice with. read more

Raul (the business owner) is a nice person and I am glad that I found the reviews on Yelp that are really helpful! His service was quick ( took ~ 20 minutes for setup/discussion and 2 minutes to bore a hole on top of my granite counter top for water filter system). I recommend his service to anyone who needs to do the same type of work. read more

Raul came out to install a very heavy mirror into a large stone wall. He was timely, meticulous and attentive to my very specific requests about how I wanted the work done. When all was complete, and the suite cleaned as good as new, Raul's price was exactly as quoted on the phone. I was very happy with his work and will have him back for future projects. read more

ESD fixed a large crack in our granite countertop and the result is much better than I expected. Raul and team are clearly craftsmen who care about the quality of their work. HIghly recommended..... read more

Very satisfied with Raul's work. He repaired a large crack in our granite counter top, then put new tiles in kitchen and bath, and then went on to repair other minor blemishes in another bathroom. Excellent work, within time and budget. Highly recommended. read more

Raul stopped by on his lunch time to see if he could remedy the problem with my new kitchen sink not fitting in the space where my old sink was. Raul remedied the problem without cutting my granite tile. Fix was done in 15 minutes. Raul is professional and I highly recommend his work. read more

Amazing work. Timely on initiation. Completed the prep and installed the counter early. Very professional. I can not say enough good things about Raul and his team. read more

Raul has completed three projects for us this year - tile work on two bathrooms including our new master bath, adding marble stone veneer to fireplace and re-plating our front entrance with marble - and he has done exceptional work each time. He's our go -to guy for any major stone / tile granite project and recommend him highly. read more

We've used Raul a few times now for a backsplash, tiling our laundry room floor, and installing our new countertops. He's always done a great job and has been very easy to communicate with throughout every job. Everything happened on time and on budget, and he was very flexible when our schedule got thrown around by other contractors that had caused unexpected delays. Would recommend him to anyone. read more

My experience with ESD Tile and Design was positive. It was heartening to see how seriously and diligently the work was completed. It was so refreshing to have a workman in your home who takes your wants and desires, evaluates them, and explains in an intelligent way what is and what is not reasonable to do. The goal is to have the end product please both the homeowner and the workman. Actual discussion about design ideas had proved impossible with so many other potential contractors. All in all, quality work for a price. read more

I've been bitten by the interior decorating/small scale home improvement bug and I decided that what my kitchen needed was a filtered water dispenser. A few months ago, I had Dave's Custom Plumbing put in a water filter for my cold water tap for my kitchen island sink, but soon discovered that that wasn't the practical way to go as people would do things with the filtered cold water tap other than drinking (i.e., wash their hands, rinse dishes, etc.). I went over to Barron Park Supply in Palo Alto and got the necessary hardware (water dispenser itself and washers) and had Raul come over and drill a hole through my granite countertop. Raul was prompt, professional, and courteous. Although the process of drilling a hole through stone was a noisy one (especially at 7:30 in the morning), it was a necessary evil and Raul was swift in getting the job done. I now have his name and number and will call on him for any stone-related jobs that may lie ahead in my journey towards home improvement perfection. read more

I need to cut few pieces of 18x18 granite tile to smaller size, went to few stores and none of them provide the service. I found contractor page at yelp and start calling every phone number I could on Sat morning. Only one place said they could do it but I have to wait till Monday morning and bring my tiles to the shop. While waiting for another contractor to return my call, I got a call from Raul, he returned my call which he missed earlier (I didn't actually leave any message). We discussed briefly on the phone about my needs. He showed up one hour later at my door and brought his wet tile saw to help me. It's a quick setup and the whole process took about 20 mins. He charged me less than the shop asked and I didn't have to take my tiles to the shop at all. I don't think I will be able to find anything better than this. Thank you very much Raul, I definitely will call you again when I need any remodeling work. read more

Raul was recommended to me by a friend for fabrication and installation of a granite countertop. He and his teammate Luis were on time and really personable which you don't always encounter in this business. The finished product was top notch and they went above and beyond expectations. They picked up all of the material for me from the warehouse I bought it at and even used the spare granite to make a little cutting board and small table top. Wouldn't hesitate to go with these guys again. read more

So glad I read previous reviews on ESD Stone & Tile and, specifically, Raul. We had a few small chips in our kitchen granite and asked Raul if he could repair for us as well as re-caulk. Raul was very quick to return my phone call and we were able to set up an appointment for later in the week. He arrived as scheduled, listened to what I wanted to do and addressed a couple concerns I had about the granite. He did an excellent job on the chip repairs and caulking and, in addition, polished up and sealed our granite and tile behind the counters. Everything looks so shiny and new! Things I really appreciated about Raul were that he put a tarp under his truck to protect our driveway pavers and his entire work area was tarped to protect our wood floors. When he was finished, he did a very thorough job of cleaning, even cleaning up some stray German Shepherd hairs on the floor from our pup. I plan to ask Raul to come each year to clean and maintain our granite and would highly recommend him to anyone needing stone and tile services. read more

I needed a section of backsplash replaced in my kitchen after replacing a window. The original granite installer that I had lined up to do the job got overbooked and was unavailable. After emailing a few granite installers, Raul was the first to respond to me that same day. The knowledge and enthusiasm that he expressed during the phone call impressed me and the price that he gave me for the job was in line with the other guy's quote. I scheduled a time for Raul to work on the job. Raul arrived within a reasonable amount of time on the day we scheduled. At the beginning of the job, I realized that I brought home the wrong piece of granite from the stone shop. Raul was patient enough to wait for me for an hour while I exchanged the stone for the proper piece. I really appreciated this since I realize that time is money. After obtaining the proper stone, Raul got to work and turned out a terrific result. He consulted with me frequently as he worked to make sure I was aware of the details of the process. Throughout the job he was professional and courteous. I would definitely use ESD Stone and Tile for any future stone and tile jobs. read more

Raul tiled my guest bathroom. Not only is the tile beautiful but the job he did is a gorgeous piece of art work. The grout lines all match both in the shower and the floor. Raul is a hard worker. He came to the job site on time and ready to work. He was pleasant and followed the design exactly as planned by my designer. I definitely will hire him to do my 2nd bathroom. ES 6/21/14 read more
