We had Fireclay suggest tile colors to us and when we selected some from samples, to render our design for us. We chose to move forward and within 6 weeks they were prepping and installing. Their pricing was fair and the quality of both the tile and the installation was very high. We've had quite a lot of tile work done (during a remodel) and this time we were very, very happy. The accuracy with which Everson and Johnny set the tile, meant that the final appearance was faultless. I have worked in precision prototyping and appearance models all my life and this work is as good as it could be. read more

We used Fireclay's own installation services on our shower and bathroom floor for an ADU we've been constructing in our backyard. We were really happy with the whole process from start to finish. Their designer Mark Jacques helped us choose different type options in their SF showroom, provided high-quality design mock-ups for two different designs we were considering, and helped us carefully order the perfect amount of tile with just the right amount of overage. This was our first real construction project and we had a bunch of questions on the installation quote that they provided us. Martin answered all of our questions with patience, and Brieanna provided the most communicative project management that we have experienced, especially compared to other service providers we have used. Ivan and Alfredo did a wonderful job with the installation, and they happily answered my questions during the process on-site. Our installation included a floor heating system which they were able to help spec out an carefully install. The end result looks beautiful and we can't wait to try out the heater as soon as our the electricity gets connected! We have dreams of using Fireclay installation again for future remodel work in our main house. read more

The entire process with Fireclay was great. The team was incredibly helpful through the design and installation process. Fredy & Alfredo did a top notch job. They arrived on time, left my house spotless, and did an extremely thorough job installing the tile. Highly recommend going working with Fireclay. read more

Title: Fireclay Botched Our Shower Installation -- Now, we're left with a mess We chose Fireclay Tile for our shower renovation, purchasing their 3x12 Egret glass tile along with installation services and insurance. What we got was a failed install, a grout color that didn't match the sample, and a company unwilling to take real responsibility. Fireclay performed the installation themselves and provided installation insurance, which gave us initial confidence. But they didn't even follow their own installation guidelines, which clearly state to follow all manufacturer-recommended procedures for grout and to conduct a small test area before proceeding. They skipped that step entirely. They used Laticrete Frosty grout, which looked nothing like the sample shown during the design process. When we raised concerns, Fireclay admitted the issue and offered to "fix" it by painting the grout with Laticrete Refresh colorant. The sample board they provided matched -- and we were initially relieved -- until we read the fine print and learned that the product is not rated to hold up long term in wet areas like showers. Worse, their sample application was sloppy, with paint streaking onto adjacent tiles. We declined the fix. Bottom line: Fireclay self-insures, takes consumers' money, and fails to back it up with quality or accountability. Their CEO, Eric Edelson addressed our concern and stated: "Our job was too small to do a mockup grout test, that is reserved for larger jobs." This isn't just bad service -- it's deceptive. we will be pursuing legal action. Our bathroom still isn't finished from this sh__t show. No other contractors want to touch their mess. Beautiful tile means nothing if it's installed incorrectly, and the company won't stand behind it. Fireclay failed us -- and they may fail you too. So much for their "Satisfaction Guaranteed." read more

Fireclay Tile design and installation team were extremely helpful and professional. We purchased Fireclay tile about six years ago for our kitchen, and went back for tile to update a bathroom. Mark was very helpful with tile selection, helping us narrow down tile sizes and colors. We left the store with several samples. On our second visit, we learned about the next steps with installation, and that Martin would be contacting us for an appointment to measure the bathroom and finalize the design. It was very easy to schedule the installation appointment with Martin. He came out, listened to what we were trying to do and gave suggestions, and answered our questions about the installation process. The installation process went smoothly, and better than I thought it would go. Luis, Sean and Cameron were on-time, gave us updates on the process and reassured us that the installation was going as designed. They met the timeframe for completing the job. We will gladly work with Fireclay design and installation team on future projects. They are very customer focused and have an excellent product. read more

We had a unique project--a floor-to-ceiling gas fireplace with a built-in bench, needing a refresh. Tricia's warmth and expertise in the showroom made choosing Fireclay easy, and their in-house installers were a huge plus. She set clear expectations on the entire process. David provided helpful renderings and updates, even allowing us to start early. We chose Cardamom in 2x8 for a vertically tiled column to bring an earthy, organic feel to the space. When demo revealed the bench had to stay and there was a question of whether or not the overage would cover it, Ivan and Adrian skillfully adapted, making it work beautifully through some mix of math and magic. Their calm, expert approach was reassuring. Fredy handled the grout seamlessly and was a pleasure to work with--despite our mischievous puppy! We initially worried about pricing, but Fireclay's team was competitive, very pleasantly stress-free, and a joy to work with from start to finish. We are so happy with the result. read more

Luis and Sean did a wonderful job. Professional, curtesy, on time. Very happy with the process and the results. Highly recommend.

We had an absolutely great experience with Fireclay!! The whole team-oriented process was really impressive. Everyone (sales, design and installation) plays a clear and vital role and communication between departments is excellent. I appreciated the mock up prepared by the designers --- they gave us ideas that we hadn't thought of and we are so pleased that we implemented their suggestions regarding layout, hardware and grout. Mark was so helpful and available when I had design questions. Brieanna kept everyone organized and was very responsive whenever I had questions. Fredy and Jerson were our installers and we couldn't have asked for better craftsmanship, communication or care. read more

Amazing customer service from beginning to end! We were attracted to Fireclay Tile because of their B Corp certification and its commitment to the planet, the community and their employees. The first contact was with Annie Lu who impressed us with here creativity and enthusiasm. Martin Parker matched our vision and developed a plan for implementation. David Korn and Brieanna Lines kept the project going and kept us up to date on the production and project timelines. Finally the installation team of Freddy, Carlos and Henry provided a seamless process to give us an elegant and functional bathroom. Everything was completed on time and within budget. This company is a pleasure to work with. read more

The Fireclay installation team was everything I expected and more. More than anything I appreciate a meticulous craftsman who takes pride in their work. This team was masterful in their work and the results reflect their skill and care. Thank you to Carlos R, Carlos C, & Wuesli. read more

Fireclay team did a really good job on our bathroom. Below are a few things that stood out: 1. The showroom experience was top notch and we really appreciated all of the assistance we received from Kristen. She went above and beyond with our complex situation to get the tile selected and delivered in no time at all. 2. Martin and the installation crew assisted us with the situation we faced, helping us to remediate poor workmanship by the previous contractor. The continued helping us after tile installation when contractor damaged the tiles while installing the vanity. 3. They use pretty superior materials, from boards to waterproofing. The crew was communicative and worked with homeowners on the tile layout. 4. Most importantly, they showed up every day on time and left the job site spotless. They demonstrated a lot of respect to our property which was such an amazing experience compared to what we had to deal with before. It was a breath of fresh air working with the Fireclay - from showroom experience, design, bid and tile installation. We are happy with how the bathroom turned out! read more

We did a whole house remodel and I chose Fireclay Tile for our kids' bathroom. I went to the showroom in Berkeley where the amazing sales team helped me think through a bunch of options and even had their designers mock up renderings so I could visualize the installed tile. There was a 6-8 week lead time on the tile but it was worth the wait. I was excited to learn that Fireclay Tile had their own installation team and ended up hiring them to do the tile installation for our whole house (including rooms that did not utilize Fireclay brand tiles). The installation team was professional, thorough, communicative and friendly. They consulted me about every preference and option and didn't do anything without my enthusiastic approval. We used a lot of antique tiles and uneven natural stones and they installed it all with care and precision. They were truly some of my favorite subcontractors of our whole project! Our kids' bathroom still isn't done...still waiting on cabinetry and paint but the tile is perfect and I was excited to post this review. Will try to add pics later :) read more

Fireclay was great to work with from start to finish. Luis did the install and he paid attention to every detail. Really great communication - timely - and we loved having a design rendering provided to help us make our choices. Highly recommend. read more

We recently did an installation with the Fireclay team for a new laundry room -- they were fabulous! The team was helpful with tile selection, booking the installation was easy, and the team who did the work were stellar, clearly skilled craftsmanship and also really nice guys. I would recommend working with Fireclay to anyone looking for beautiful tile and easy installation. read more

Heritage Marble and Tile is outstanding. Martin is responsive, timely and kind. Santiago and Jose, who completed our job, are experts at their craft. I highly recommend Heritage Marble and Tile. We had a unique fireplace facade request consisting of handmade thin brick glazed tiles arranged in a straight stack format. Someone with Fireclay Tile, the maker of our tile, highly recommend Heritage for our project. I reached out to Martin, who almost always picked up his phone when I called! Although they were booked out several months at the time, he still offered to provide an estimate and said he would do his best to work us into his schedule. He was supportive and communicative as we ordered and awaited the specialty tile to arrive. On the day the tile arrived, Martin scheduled our project to start within a the month, much sooner than we expected. Santiago and Jose performed the beautiful work. Santiago expertly explained the proper layout and timing for the project. They worked efficiently, methodically and carefully to create something better than we even imagined and in the exact time schedule planned. This project was particularly difficult because each tile is unique due to being handmade, so Santiago and Jose had to place each tile carefully to create the perfect finished product. Amazing! read more

One of the most positive experiences I've ever had with a contractor. The crew was professional, considerate, on time, and fun to be around. The jobsite was always tidy and organized and communication was excellent. The craftsmanship was absolutely top notch. They aced challenging details like a flush floor vent and recessed guides for closet doors. As an architect, I have seen hundreds of tile installations, and this was among the best. read more

Omg Martin at HERITAGE TILE AND MARBLE is the BEST. Saved me 14,500 His employee Jose was great. Came when expected. Cleaned up. Saved my tiles which couldn't be matched. I would give them a million stars. So rare this day and age to not be ripped off. Incredible all round. Thank you HERITAGE TILE AND MARBLE read more

Top notch across the board. The product, processes and installation were all highest quality, and the people on each of the teams are experienced, efficient, consummate professionals each and every one. This is where you go if you want a top quality tile project done! read more

I went with Fireclay because I love the tile. I assumed the installation would be top-notch because of the product. It was. What I didn't expect was that it was also about half the installation cost of the most expensive bid I got. So while you can always get someone to do it cheaper, you can also find people much more expensive. Class act all the way around from the showroom to David and Gabrielle managing the installation to the professional installers (Great job, Jose and Jersen), I couldn't be happier with the process. read more

My entire experience with Fireclay Tile, from visiting the showroom, to placing our order, to the install, was amazing. Every person we interacted with was so helpful and communicative, and the tile is absolutely gorgeous. read more

We just had two bathroom floors re-tiled by Fireclay Tile over the course of one week, and had the best experience with Fireclay that we've ever had with a remodel team. From the very beginning of the project, when we were choosing the tiles at the store, to the end of the project when the bathrooms were completed, everyone we worked with at Fireclay was phenomenal. The tiles were beautifully manufactured, and David, the project manager of the installation, expertly guided us through the process. He was so kind and accessible, answering every question we had and allaying any anxiety about the installation, which went smoothly and without a hitch. This was due to Santiago and his installation crew from Fireclay, who were simply great! Their attention to detail and professionalism in all they did was outstanding, including their efforts to keep the house as clean and tidy as possible throughout the time they were here. It was a pleasure to have them around just because they were all so personable, which sounds perhaps hyperbolic but is nevertheless true. We love our new tile floors and are very grateful for everything the team did. Without hesitation, we highly recommend Fire Clay to everyone! read more

Martin was instrumental in the final design of the tile surrounding our fireplace remodel. His expert suggestions were very helpful in our decision as to the type of tile and how to finally place the tile. He was professional, courteous, timely and cooperative in scheduling around our hectic schedule. The final work and his team's attention to detail resulted in our complete satisfaction. Having a bit of construction background, I found that their work was precise and well finished. I would absolutely recommend Martin and his crew to anyone. Furthermore, if we have any other tile jobs, we will certainly have Martin do our work. read more

I would highly recommend Heritage Marble and Tile. They did a great job and were professionals through and through. We contracted Martin to replace our entry tile and redo our fireplace wall. See before, during, after pictures. His guys showed up early every morning and worked hard all day. They were all courteous and professional. It was clear they all new their trade thoroughly. Demolition can be messy, but they took proper precautions to protect the rest of the house. Also, they kept their working areas clean and organized. Martin was easy to work with, and a clear communicator throughout the project. We will most definitely contract Martin and his crew for a future project, and would recommend them to others. read more

We have had two tiling jobs completed by Heritage--a bathtub/shower installation and more recently, a replacement of a kitchen backsplash--and we could not be more pleased with every aspect of the projects. To start with, the owner Martin has been consistently easy to contact, and his suggestions have been most helpful. Our most recent project required removal of the backsplash and underlying sheetrock which they managed without a single scratch on our recently painted cabinets. The tiling work was completed with remarkable attention to detail. No wonder there are so many 5-star reviews. These guys are the best! read more

I am absolutely thrilled with the work that Martin and his crew at Heritage Marble and Tile performed for me. Due to a faulty installation by the builders of my condo, my original shower pan was cracked, leaking, and needed to be replaced. This wasn't work that I had planned on having to have performed so I was a bit reluctant. Martin was sensitive to this matter and assisted in directing me towards a cost-effective solution that would still be beautiful and add character to my bathroom. The guys that performed the work were friendly and respectful of my home and time. The end result is a beautiful new tile shower that makes me happy every time I look at it. The biggest benefit of working with Martin was that he provided me with the information and details that I needed to convince my HOA that they were responsible for the costs of the repairs. Without his knowledge and recommendations I'm sure I would have been unsuccessful with that challenge. read more

I just completed a major kitchen remodel and Heritage took care of my tile backsplash. I used a variegated marble tile and Martin's guys did a great job of arranging the individual tile to create a beautiful range of greys and whites. I also really appreciated Martin's advice re. grout. I was thinking about grey to make it easier to clean, but he recommended an off white and he was absolutely right. It looks gorgeous. read more

Can't say enough great things about Martin Brookes. Our shower started leaking and even though all signs pointed to a plumbing issue rather than a tiling one, Martin offered to come by and test the shower pan. Of course, as we both expected, the pan is 100% fine, and the leak is in the plumping pipes one floor down. My point is that Martin stands by his work in a way I haven't seen from any other contractor. Truly outstanding service. They used top quality materials and the shower looks as good as new even 18 months later. I can't recommend enough. read more

Heritage Marble is the most reliable tile company in the Bay Area. Martin Brookes is an expert on the correct way to perform waterproofing and tile work. Highly recommend. read more

Martin is someone I have worked with for a few years now and his work is perfection. He does things the right way from the start, asks the right questions, and the results are always exceptional. Professional and friendly, give them a call if you need tile work you'll be happy you did. They are absolute tile specialists. read more

It's hard to get anyone to do a small job in the Bay Area, much less one that you need fixed ASAP. My bathroom tub surround was not properly waterproofed and needed immediate attention bc the leak was coming thru the lobby ceiling of the condo. Most places would not take such a small job, much less one that has to be done within 2 weeks. Martin did and Leo and his assistant did a great job and finished on time. Plus the invoice ended up being lower than the estimate. Who does that! read more

Martin and his team are amazing! They are confident in a kind and professional way. You can tell from a 2 min conversation that they know their trade and their work proves it! We called Martin during construction of a bathroom remodel and he literally saved us from disaster! Long story short, he very kindly and professionally informed us how to change our steam shower so that it was built with materials and structurally that it would last forever and not do damage. He returns phone calls promptly. He visits the job site to check in. He's great! He has a few teams of men that work for him and they are awesome! Super clean, very considerate of your life and living space. 110% trustworthy. Talented and skilled beyond belief and with no ego! They take pride in their work and it shows! read more

I can't rave enough about the exceptional work quality and attentive personal communication provided by Martin Brookes! This was the 3rd rebuild of our exterior tiled deck - the previous 2 times were done completely incompetently by 2 other contractors. Heritage Marble & Tile may get underbid, but it is SO worth having the work done correctly by a true expert! Thank you Martin! read more

I purchased a mosaic tile for my kitchen remodel. When my contractor opened the box and saw all of the individual pieces of stone with mylar facing on the front, rather than a standard size tile with meshing on the back, his eyes were wider than normal. I knew I had a problem. Martin was the third tile installation person I contacted. He immediately new each piece of stone, where it was from and it's inherent qualities. He stated that mosaics were a standard for his business. His price was only slightly higher than the other quotes but given that the tile was so expensive, it was well worth the piece of mind. Gabriel performed the actual layout, measuring, cutting and installation. His patience and methodical process was absolutely necessary for the job and it paid off in spades. To make things more complex, there wasn't enough tile for the area behind a floating shelf for cookbooks. I ordered more tile and again Gabriel delivered. He lined up every piece of the mosaics with exact geometry to accommodate the difference of the shelf. It looks beautiful. Martin was timely with his business in terms of initial estimate, scheduled work for tile setting and sealing. Plus, he's just a no nonsense, good guy. I highly recommend using for tile setting. read more

I rarely write on Yelp but I really wanted people to know about the great service provided to me by Heritage Marble and Tile. During our remodeling effort with our house in complete disarray, our contractor who thought he could do tiling, completely messed-up the tiling of our shower. We were pretty upset so we called Martin from Heritage Marble and Tile. He came right over, assessed the situation and told us the shower had to be redone and was beyond repair. We hired him to redo the shower and also to do the tiling for the shower in the other bathroom. His worker Leo and his fellow worker did a fantastic job in both bathrooms. He was very professional, offered good suggestions and had a mind that covered all the small details. Do not hesitate to use this company. This company is a real gem. read more

Highly recommended. Martin and his crew, especially Leo his team leader are a great company to have for any tile project. These guys aren't even done yet but I am already recommending them for two major reasons. One, they are a professional highly skilled team and... Two, because they are a pleasure to work with. Clean, on time, and nice to work with. Our entire house is covered in tile so this is a big job and they are doing great. They are experts at Large tiles, ours are 4 feet by 4 feet each, and it takes a special hand to move them and install them. Sometimes three or four guys to install one single tile. Each member of the team is excellent at what they do and they work well together, it's really an art-form to watch them do the installation. I personally like all reviews to be real with some critical views but really it's hard to find any flaws, they really are great, so I'll even tell you we had some issues with the grout, but here is the good news, they are working on it and taking care of it and I really feel like we are in good hands. When you have a professional crew, they are worth it bc when things naturally happen they know what to do and how to take care of it. Sometimes that means they cost a little bit more but in the long run you actually save money by having quality people do the work. Tile is going to last for ever so you should do it right the first time. ***Highly Highly recommended***. The last thing I'd mention is that this job is a big job and it means a lot to have happy workers in your home. These guys are a great team and if you enjoy having a job site where the people are polite and get along, it means a lot these days. Thank you. read more
