    We are in the middle of a backyard upgrade. I am a little OCD plus anxiety and that's not a great combination when picking tile! I started at MSI first (rec from my contractor) but then went to 5 other tile places in search of my holy grail. I spent every day for a week with a headache. Today I decided to go back to MSI and was greeted by Carlos Lares who literally stayed with me the entire time, listened to my concerns, looked at my pictures (plus my neighbor's yard) and then proceeded to guide me through picking and coordinating literally EVERYTHING. He showed me stuff in the back (I didn't even know there was a back!!!) searched high and low for samples, made sure we exhausted every single idea, and then ordered even more samples to be delivered to my house. I left there with SUCH RELIEF! And the first day I don't have a migraine since this project started. Carlos spent an hour with me and it was the best hour ever because he helped me pick choices I hadn't even considered or known about. When I got back home and showed my contractor, he was actually so impressed with the choices and coordination. Everything was unique yet so cohesive. I now can't wait for this project to be finished and will 100% ONLY work with Carlos for future projects (next up, a bathroom renovation). So very grateful for incredible customer service and knowledge. And someone later told me that Carlos was new and I would never have guessed. Thank you Carlos for giving me peace (and sleep) again!!!

    My go to place for six years I take all my customers there. Best selection best pricing customer service and stock. The best thing about it is my sales rep Sebastian. Thank you !

    I work with MSI for more then 5 years, Charlie is my rep and I can tell you he is the best rep I had so far, whenever I need him he is available and if not he is calling me back as soon as possible. I can send my clients there to meet him without me and I know he will take care of them. Thank you charlie

    Front girl was not very helpful and seemed to be annoyed and bothered by my questions. Will take my business else where.

    I understand that if you are not a contractor you can't make purchase from the store. But would you be able to get the price?

    I've purchased flooring from this place twice in the last two months, and I can say with confidence…read morethat you should avoid dealing with a guy named JASON at all costs. My first order was for three boxes of floors initially, which - come to find out from my floor installer upon opening - one box was damaged from their fork lift. My installer said it wasn't a big deal, just to take it back to Rayo and they would credit me. Mind you, I had just placed an order for TWENTY more boxes of the same flooring -- so clearly I was not out to scam them. If I could have used that box, we definitely would have. That seems to be pretty common sense, but oh man, you would have thought I was asking Jason to have them give me the Pacific Ocean for free. In a nutshell he completely freaked out on me asking to return the box. First he said "this is not damaaged!" Then that quickly turned out "I don't see why your installer can't just work around the damaged parts." Then from there it went to "Custom orders are final!!!!!!" WHIICH ONE IS IT?!?! Good grief! I explained the situation to him, and he even KNEW that I had just put in an order for twenty more boxes. He still acted like a complete and total jerk. Only when I ran out of the store in tears, did another associate (Mark) call me to let me know he would credit my other order for the 20 boxes to offset the cost of this damaged box. While I appreciate Mark for this gesture, I am disguted by how Jason acted. Definitely should never have this man in sales or any role that involves him interacting with other humans. I own three properties in San Diego -- and will never work with this place again. I'll make sure to spread the good word about Jason's level of service. WOW WOW WOW.

At that point, we were already exhausted from dealing with delays and unresponsive contractors. I found ProSource Wholesale through Yelp and called right away. Veronica, an account manager, answered the phone--and from that first call, the experience was completely different. She was friendly, professional, and incredibly efficient. Veronica was able to locate the exact same flooring on the East Coast and had it delivered to us within about a week to a week and a half of placing the order. After everything we had been dealing with, having this part of the process be so smooth and stress-free was honestly refreshing. Veronica communicated clearly, followed through quickly, and made what felt like a big problem very easy to solve. If you have any flooring needs, I highly recommend reaching out to ProSource Wholesale and asking for Veronica. She was wonderful to work with, and I will absolutely recommend their services to others.

The measure and install/removal team, led by Tony, was professional and finished under their originally estimated timeline. Things were pretty clean when they left and they took every bit of packaging, old materials, and "stuff" with them. It's such a relief to have consistently good service and quality products.

    Petra Stone is the place to go only if you're comfortable losing 30% of your money if you change…read moreyour mind even if you never took possession of the stone, it was never fabricated, and it never left their warehouse. I purchased three slabs of marble for my kitchen, and after speaking with two independent fabricators, I learned that I would have to sign a release of liability for installation. Both fabricators explained that marble is extremely porous and prone to chipping and cracking, and they both advised that marble should never be used for a kitchen countertop. Anything acidic : lemon juice, vinegar, soda can dull and etch marble even when it has been sealed. Wine, citrus, tomato sauce, coffee, and oils can all leave stains or dark spots. If you don't use any of these in your kitchen, you might be safe; but if you do, they will leave a lasting impression. When I explained this to the owner and requested a full refund despite the slabs never being moved or fabricated, he refused. I even offered to pay $1,500 to be reasonable, but that was also declined. If that is the kind of business you want to deal with Petra Stone is the place for you.

There are many slab yards, but few with offerings from around the world of the first cut, finest quality stone. I have enjoyed working with Marcelo, Livia, Natalia, and Robert at Petra for many years. They have become partners and friends in my business, which is essential for my success and the happiness and satisfaction of my clients. Petra also offers a proprietary sealant called Azerocare for their natural stones, which makes them stain-resistant for many hours. This comforts clients who are reluctant to use natural stone due to potential marks and stains from everyday use. It is such a joy to have them in San Diego. I get excited every time we work together and make selections because there's always something new, and the finished product consistently exceeds my expectations.
