We just completed a major primary bathroom remodel with Express Tile Design, late 2025. Florin, the owner, and Jose, his partner, are absolutely the best and here is why. The final payment and the estimate of the time were exactly as Florin provided initially, no surprises. They both are superior craftsman providing all work with precision and exceeding our already very high expectations. Florin is especially customer friendly spending hours with us at the tile store and helping select fixtures before we even committed to him to make sure what we selected were the best including quality, colors and style to match our architect-built original home. Florin went well beyond typical contractor work providing many unexpected extras such as using self leveling concrete and setting the tiles so flat and with consistent grout lines, you could play billiards on them, taping off the rest of the house with plastic sheets to prevent any dust and dirt getting anywhere else yet with a zipper to allow us to get into other rooms, draping the floors, carefully salvaging the existing expensive glass blocks, completely cleaning up every evening, adding many new parts to the existing toilet when they replaced it, making sure the six shower fixtures were exactly positioned symmetrically, considering placement of all fixtures to make sure the existing lighting was optimized, patching the existing textured walls perfectly and making sure everything worked perfectly. Florin's commitment to detail and willingness to keep us always informed are exceptional. We are extremely pleased with the process, the final result and the reasonable cost and recommend them very highly. read more

Florin and Jose did the tile work in our primary bathroom. Before he started work (and before we even had a contract in place) he stopped by a number of times to help me plan things out. He also helped with tile selection - notably noticing that one of our tiles we selected early on was of lower quality. He helped me with choosing a number of sub contractors as well. When it came to actually doing the tiling work Florin and Jose did the job quickly and with minimal mess. We had an issue with a Schluter part failing (not Florin's fault) and Florin has been helping us navigate warranty stuff with Schluter even though the job was over a while ago. I think most contractors I've worked with in the bay area just want to get in and get out as quickly as possible and get paid. That's all they care about. Florin was different in that I think what he wanted was for my project to be successful. This is a very, very different attitude than most contractors I've worked with and for that reason I expect to have him do more work for us in the future. I strongly recommend Florin. read more

Florin did tile work in our bathrooms over 5 years ago. He did a fantastic job. The Marble and grout continue to look amazing and has held up well. We just love it. He was very professional and courteous. Responded to our questions in a timely manner. We definitely would use his service again. Thank you Florin! read more

If you are looking to remodel a bathroom, Express Tile Design is a reliable company to go through. Florin and Jose did excellent work and we couldn't be more happy with our bathroom and vanity. They were very flexible with the hours and days worked and they work very efficiently. They like to get an early start so they can have as much time as possible to do quality work. This was our first time having anything remodeled in our home and Florin walked us through most of his work and provided us with great recommendations. He said it was because they take a lot of pride in their work. I highly recommend doing business with Express Tile Design. I will be a repeat customer the next time I have a tile project that needs doing. read more

Florin provided a superior tile installation. We had another tile job in out project. But the level of professionalism and customer service provided by Florin was so superior that I highly recommend his company. He not only provided advice on product selection but design and installation components as well. He went above and beyond in completion of the tiling. He even went out to buy and install items the other contractor failed to do. We did not request this extra activity. He just did it on his own. How's that for customer service!!! read more

After a few years of wear and tear, I needed a single tile replaced that was in a delicate spot. Even for such a minor maintenance job, Florin took time from his busy schedule to help me out. He also helped me with some other minor grout patch work in another area of the house. Can't say enough about how customer service-focused he is. Nothing but high recommendations for Florin and his company! read more

My wife and I are extremely pleased with our new floor. Florin recommended two tile stores: Hera Tile and Stone and Bullnose Tile. We went with his first choice, Hera Tile. Florin's friend Turk, at Hera, helped us select a beautiful set of Travertine tile and Florin beautifully installed the tile using a Versailles pattern and a grout in the perfect shade to match the tile. Florin is hard working, sometimes staying up past nine. He is honest, conciensious and has a good work ethic. The original floor was sloped horribly, but Florin expertly leveled it. The original floor also did not line up with the adjacent living room hardwood floor. After Florin's finished the job, they are flush. Finally, he was very pleasant to work with. We would highly recommend him. Also, I learned that Florin does other side handyman jobs. I'll have to check that out. A picture speaks a thousand words, so please check out the pictures. read more

Can't say enough good things about Florin. He did a shower, a tub surround and backsplashes for us, and did an excellent job overall. The quality and attention to detail was artisan grade. On top, he has a great attitude, and goes the extra mile without any hesitation to make the customer happy. He is also pretty good with plumbing. We ran into one in a thousand kind of manufacturer defect on a brand new toilet we are installing, and Florin identified the root cause of the problem with some experimentation and worked with us to get it resolved. Net net, highly recommended. I look forward to working with him again in the future. read more

As the owner of Express Tile Design, Florin was great to work with and I highly recommend them. He did all the tile in our kitchen, bathrooms, laundry room, and storage room, and the tile looks amazing! His quality of work is top notch, and we valued his expertise and opinion on various aspects related to our project. Our project wasn't the most straightforward, but he was patient with us and always had a smile on his face. After installing the shower tile in one bathroom, a crack formed in a challenging spot, but he guarantees his work and came out to fix it. Florin and his team are true craftsmen. We definitely would use him again for future projects. read more

We got a positive reference to Express Tile Design from our granite fabricator, whose work we very much appreciated, also. Florin is a very hard working, thorough and conscientious fellow who installed our new Master Bath floor, complete with heat. My wife and I are happy with the work he did, and the floor looks great. Florin took the time to interact with us prior to beginning work, so we knew what kind of a job he would do, and how much attention to detail he was capable of. He took the time to go over any questions that we had, and answer them, very professional. After the floor was done, he was willing to work on a few smaller jobs we had, including the correction of 2 other bathroom tile jobs that were starting to show problems. Florin corrected the sub-standard grout that was used, and now they look just fine. We would highly recommend Florin and his Express Tile Design to anyone! read more

I had Florin of Express Tile Design install floor tiles in 3 bathrooms in my house. We agreed o n this scope of work - I would remove the old floor, baseboard and toilet, andselect and purchased the backerboard, new floor tiles and thinset. Florin installed the backerboard, cut, position and lay the tile for me, and then I would come around and do the grout and sealer myself Florin is very professional in his work. The tile looks great and the floor feels rock solid from the backerboard and the surface is even from tile to tile. Florin even told me which grout to buy, how to mix it for proper consistency and how to apply it. He spent a good 15 minutes showing me how he does it with his own tools. In addition, he was adamant that I use a good sealer (511 impregnator) so that the water doesn't penetrate the grout and stain it. I would totally recommend Florin to anyone who wants to do tile. I'm usually a DIYer but I know what I'm capable of, and judging when it's best to let the experts handle it. I'll be giving Florin a call next time I need a new tile floor, that's for sure! read more
