In thirty years of dealing with sales people I've never had a better experience than the one I had at SDMT, specifically with Kaycee. She was so knowledgeable, and went the extra mile every step of the way. Her perfect communication style made this project super simple. I'm glad to know Kaycee is there for all my future flooring needs. read more

The personnel at San Diego Tile and Marble have always been very helpful. This time I worked with Carla Bocchini, she was so great at helping me pick out coordinating tiles for my primary bathroom shower that look beautiful with my existing tile floor and vanity. read more

I highly recommend San Diego Marble & Tile, and a special shout out to Isaiah! Isaiah helped us from start to finish on all our bathrooms remodel. He was patient, kind, and really knowledgeable with their products. He assisted us in picking out the most beautiful porcelain and marble for our baths, showers, and floors, that blended perfectly with our home and our vision! No need to look any further, just give Isaiah a call! In addition, Isaiah recommended Valentine, the owner of RVR Tile. What an amazing job he and his team did installing the tiles! Perfection would be the best to describe his work. He also very professional and I don't think our home would have looked as good without Isaiah and Valentine! read more

We highly recommend San Diego Marble & Tile for both excellent selection and amazing customer service. Shirlynda is a ROCK STAR! We came into the Encinitas location knowing we were looking for new tile for our downstairs bathroom but with no idea of specifics. Shirlynda patiently asked lots of questions and listened to our interests. She took time to show us option after option until we found the perfect tiles. Of course we picked out one of the most expensive tiles so Shirlynda came up with creative solutions to help us bring the project costs down. Wonderful experience! read more

Fantastic selection and very thoughtful customer service! I have bought from SD Marble and Tile - and make the drive from Oceanside to Encinitas - because I just can't find such unique and artful selections anywhere else. read more

Great selection, great service, very unique products for designer and builder projects. Shirlynda has been amazing to work with, throughout our projects. read more

I highly recommend San Diego Marble and Tile! They carry a large selection of high quality tile that can fit everyone's design style. Most importantly, their customer service is beyond 5 stars! All the designers are great! I specifically worked with Kaycee. She was so helpful and patient as I was overwhelmed with all the tile choices and honing in on my vision for our kitchen remodel. She understood my design style right away and helped me to choose the perfect backsplash for our kitchen. I look forward to working with SD Marble and Tile for our next home project! read more

I researched various tile show rooms, but after a friend recommended San Diego Marble & Tile, I knew I had found the right place. Like many tile stores, they carry a large selection of beautiful tile; the thing that sets SDM&T apart is the outstanding customer service. I was fortunate to work with Carla, who helped me narrow down my choices and feel reassured about my selection. Pricing was competitive but their service is priceless. Thank you! read more

Went to the store with a very unusual and specific request and was helped by Lauren Mason. She was knowledgeable, friendly, pleasant and extremely helpful, as were all of the other people working there that day. Great show room with great selction of tile, travertine, marble etc. I would definitely recommend them to others. read more

Kaycee (Encinitas) was really helpful to me with selecting materials for a bathroom remodel. I appreciate Kaycee's product recommendations and responsiveness with the logistics. I love the look of my new bathroom! read more

I purchased my pool tile from here and they were sooo helpful in doing research on what was pool safe, letting me take home samples and getting my tile delivered quickly. There is such a great selection of tile, highly recommend! read more

I am sorry Grant that you fail to understand honesty, integrity and customer service. It does not help your cause. I will address each of your points so we are clear. 1. I selected the material and your employees input the materials and codes into the order. It is a very subtle difference (Light versus white is how each product is described) that an average customer would not have noticed was the complete wrong order that your employees input. 2. I did not collect the material as I live out of state. The tiler did. I could not have known your employees placed the wrong order. 3. Your employees came back to pick up the material after multiple demands. Thankfully you were out of town. My guess is that if you had been in town you would not have allowed it. 4. Lastly, my tiler is an amazing guy. I have always paid him for his work and you can confirm when you reach out to him for your own estimates. I would highly recommend him to anyone. I really enjoyed working with him and have continued to hire him for additional work. He does absolutely timely and fantastic work. If anyone is interested please message me and I will provide you with his contact info. read more

Our ID, Jolie G. referred us to San Diego Marble & Tile. What a great showroom! Carla was amazing and so helpful-Thanks!

A hidden gem in Encinitas! I am a contractor and San Diego Marble Tile is my go to place for supplies. I send all my clients there that need help with selecting tile. All the salespeople are amazing and selection is outstanding. No need to look any further. Top notch and love keeping it local. read more

See all

This is a review for both the Encinitas location and my rep., Donna Peterson. For more than 10 years San Diego Marble and Tile, the Encinitas location (formerly Encinitas Tile) has been my "go to" stop for my tile project needs. As an interior designer I expect prompt and courteous service and a wide selection of exciting product that is readily available. In every instance this is always the case. Over the years Donna has been my advocate and that of my clients. In a rep I could not ask for more. The new owner/management at San Diego Marble and Tile have proven in just a very short time since their ownership that they plan to continue to nurture the relationship that I had previously developed. I would just like to say thank you for the terrific service, knowledgeable staff and outstanding product. read more

Excellent service and selection. We found our kitchen backsplash and fireplace stone at San Diego Marble and Tile. Shirlinda was very helpful, guided us through the process and helped us make informed choices. I highly recommend them. read more

Went in on a busy Saturday morning and greeted upon arriving. Lisa R was so helpful. She did what I expected (and what many other tile stores lack): she asked questions about our project and immediately gave us great options, based on her knowledge of their products and what would fit with our wishes and concerns for our kitchen remodel. She also also helped us with the grout color and finished edge suggestions. I was impressed and relieved, after shopping for about 2 months online & several other tile stores and coming up empty. Thank you, Lisa! Great store with a very large selection of all types of tile & stone. Truly, unbeatable service too! read more

This Place deserves 6 stars!! As a 33 year licensed contractor, I seldom find a store that has such a great combination of talented designers and back of the house warehouse folks that have extensive knowledge of cutting edge tile installation trends, along with tried and true methods we have used for years! They carry all of the rough materials we need all in one convenient location. The Tile, Stone, Glass and specialty tile selection has been enhanced by the newly remodeled and expanded showroom. It's pretty awesome. I can send my clients there and know they will be taken care of extremely well. Bravo!! read more

Our pool contractor, Dream Pools, sent us to this store. What a treasure!! Talk about exceptional customer service!!! The staff person who is helping us is Lauren. She is such a delight! A pool project can be so overwhelming. It is quite an investment and you want to make sure you pick the right materials. We changed directions a couple of times and each time Lauren was so kind, patient, and helpful! She is even driving all the way to Clairemont (by Pasadena) to pick up our samples that were delayed and bring them back to Encinitas! We are so blown away by this level of customer service! We have several excellent tiles stores to choose from but we will purchase from SD Marble and Tile because of Lauren's care and service. We will tell all our friends about this store! read more

Love, love this store! I went to this store after a friend highly recommended. She was right: the choices are awesome, the people are nice, patient, and knowledgeable, and the prices are very good. I walked into the store with samples of my kitchen countertops and cabinets. I was greeted right away by a friendly staff person. Explained what I was looking for. Browsed a bit, learned about material choices, played with samples of my countertop and cabinet. She recommended waiting for these to be installed, then coming back, narrowing it down, taking samples to see how they looked. Excellent advice! That's exactly what I did. I worked with Carla. She was the best. She has a great eye, and she really vlistens! I took samples home. Made a decision, ordered the tile. My installer got some of the tile up, but I stopped him because I felt it was a little too busy for me. It was beautiful-- still is!-- but ultimately I wanted a more minimal look. I think you can tell a lot about a place when there's an issue. Carla was great-- didn't argue, didn't make me wrong, was completely understanding! Said oh no, well, not a problem, we'll take back what you didn't use. Was a very reasonable re-stocking fee, she waived return shipping charge. I'm perfectly happy with how things got resolved. I highly recommend San Diego Marble & Tile. I can't imagine shopping anywhere else. read more

I just completed a home design project with San Diego Marble and Tile. It was such a pleasure to work with Shirlynda Kelley (sales and design assistant). Shirlynda is always pleasant and puts such consistent effort into all of her customers! She is efficient, tireless, and helpful in selecting material. She is an outstanding addition to the showroom. read more

Love this place. We had a leak and lost our kitchen and bathroom, both of which had been remodeled previously. I was distraught because my husband I had spent 4 hours at the other place. The following week we went to order the tile found out we couldn't afford what we had selected. By chance I found San Diego Marble and Tile. When I walked in Michelle saw how distraught I was over my previous experiences and was reassuring that she could help me. She was super helpful, knowledgeable and her opinion on design was spot on. There were NO surprises on cost as they post price ranges and label the tiles. We were able to get everything we needed and within our budget. Can't wait for the new backsplash and shower!!! Thanks Michelle!!! read more

They had lots of customers when I walked in but someone helped me almost immediately. They gave me good information during the selection process and when checking out, and emailed me as soon as my tile arrived. I still had questions upon pickup and again they were addressed immediately and thoroughly. read more

I went looking for tile for my house and Shirlynda took the time to explain all the options available. She was very caring and professional. I am very happy with their service and the excellent tile products they have. read more

Best experience we've had with our home addition! My wife and I have no style when it comes to picking out things like tile and Carla was extremely helpful. Helped with all of our decisions and we could really tell that her opinion was educated and the right decisions. 5 stars!!! read more

I had a great experience working with them. They were very friendly and accommodating; especially with me booking several appointments. The tile came on time, I was promptly notified. It was easy to reach them. My contractor over estimated how much tile I needed and the girl I spoke with was sooo helpful- reaching out to the vendor to see if they would be coming by anytime soon so I could avoid the freight costs to return it. I'm so thankful to the vendor that agreed. They saved me quite a bit of money. The return process was simple and the guy at the counter was very informative about the return process. I went into several tile places trying to find what I was looking for and was happy with their professionalism and options to choose from. read more

Love my tile on tile back wall of the shower. Carla was so good! Helpful and great suggestions! The guy in the warehouse was super nice and helpful too! read more

San Diego Marble & Tile - Building Supplies Near Me - Encinitas, California

I visited San Diego Marble and tile and couldn't be happier. Lauren Mason helped me put together three bathrooms in one visit. I expected to have to come back several times as my wife can never settle on anything! She was even able to do a rendering to help us visualize our space when we couldn't see it. We can't wait for our remodel to be done, thank you San Diego Marble and tile! read more

I found this store through a contractor friend of mine and have to say it's top notch when it comes to selection and service. The sales floor people are very helpful and accommodating. They helped me find tile to match an existing glass tile that was in my home. It was made by a company called Oceanside Glass Tile. I tried several other stored and San Diego Marble and Tile were the only ones that were able to help me out. Thanks again I will be using you again for my future re-model. read more

Carla was so helpful in helping me choose tile for a bathroom remodel and checking to see that it was available. I had such a positive experience working with San Diego Tile and Marble! My bathroom is complete and it is gorgeous. Andy Warde did an excellent job on the tile! I couldn't be happier with the end result. I highly recommend both SDT&M Andy Warde! read more

I want to thank Encinitas staff for their assistance in selecting my natural tile stone and recommending John Etchells for my fireplace project. John and his assistant did a fantastic job of listening to what I wanted, making it happen and staying on schedule. The preparation to protect the rest of the house from dust and dirt was amazing and so efficient. Many thanks to the Encinitas Tile staff and John Etchells for the terrific results! read more

After a tile broke in my guest bathroom during a plumbing upgrade and I had no spares, I was faced with an unexpected bathroom remodel. (There was cracked tile throughout, due to improper installation, so nothing else really made sense.) I found my way to San Diego Marble and Tile's Encinitas store and was impressed with the selection and personal service from my salesperson, Carla. Just to shop around, I also went to another store that is highly regarded in town but ended up walking out--the service was offhanded at best and the selection didn't appear to be as good as San Diego Marble and Tile's. So back I went and placed my order. It took a couple of weeks to get the tile in hand, and my only gripe, albeit a small one, is that they didn't call when it was in--I had to call them. But when the original size floor tile I wanted wasn't going to be available for a month, they called immediately and gave me options so I could meet my schedule. I've made sure my tile guy knows how much I liked dealing with San Diego Marble and Tile. I'll go straight there if I need tile again in the future. read more

Been doing lots of tile work this month, and I have to express how great the Encinitas location is. Carla helped me design a wonderful accent wall in a crazy bathroom addition I was dealing with. And Jesse is so great in Will Call. He helped me with grout selection and loaded me up with such good cheer. What a great place to do business with! read more

No need to look any further. These guys are the best. After shopping around for a few weeks San Diego Marble & Tile had the best pricing and by far - best service. Donna in Sales and Jesse in the Warehouse were exceptional. We'll be back! read more

They are in the business of customer service! I am new to remodeling and they saved me from myself. They will provide as much help, guidance or support as you want or need. I cancelled the rest of my materials from other stores, and bought everything from them. Donna and Theresa are fabulous. They also have the largest variety and selection of materials. Their competitors pale in comparision read more

Let me preface this by saying that I have never written a "bad" yelp review even after getting food poisoning, hotel rooms that were unkempt, terrible customer service and other really negative experiences. My wife and I are small business owners and we understand how hard it is to run your own business and we also understand that businesses have bad days or employees that aren't perfect. On to the review- We selected a tile and when it came in my wife drove down to pick it up at the store. After unloading 350 lbs of tile from the car into the kitchen she realized that they had sent her home with the wrong tile. We called the store and returned the tile and also called the tile setters to cancel their installation in the morning. It was very unprofessional to not even check the tile to see if it was the same one that was ordered. This was not a huge deal for us as mistakes happen but If it were my business, I would have apologized and maybe knocked off a bit off the bill. We waited another week for the correct tile to arrive while our kitchen was stripped to the sheet rock. We went down with our 2 small children to pick up the new tile and parked next to a big dumpster where the signs indicated to park for pick up. We received the tile and when we drove off there was a noise of flat tire. I got out of the car and saw black plastic strapping with commercial staples stuck in it. I took pictures of tire and called the business immediately to notify them of the dangerous nails in the parking lot. We were told to email the warehouse manager about the incident. We were never contacted. My wife's car is a Mini Cooper and has "run flat" tires and so she had to make an appointment in Escondido to purchase this unique tire the next day. The cost was $300 and took 3 hours out of her day. I went into the store to speak to someone about the incident. I was happy to hear that the owner was on premise and that I could tell him of what had occurred without getting the run around. I met Grant, the owner of San Diego Marble and Tile and let him know that we had a terrible experience. I recounted getting sent home with the wrong tile and also showed him where we parked and showed him the type of strapping that caused the puncture in the tire. We walked over to the dumpster which is a few feet from the parking space and there was the exact same material with staples and strapping overflowing out of the same dumpster!!! He said that there was nothing he would do about it. Simply unfathomable to not to be accountable. Most business owners would chalk up these 2 instances as learning and training experiences for their staff to pay attention to details and the safety of the parking lot and still end the transaction as a net profit. We spent roughly 5 hours of our time along with an extra $300 because of their mistakes. There many other stores in the Miramar area or even locally that can offer much better customer service and will not leave you hanging out to dry if there are issues with your order. read more

LOVE LOVE LOVE San Diego Marble and Tile!! Everyone is super friendly and extremely knowledgeable. Estimates and orders are very organized. They are excellent about following up on stock availability and delivery dates. read more

I went by to get a TEC grout chart (from the tile supply side on the left, not the showroom) and stuck my nose inside the showroom door for a quick look at the very large tiles they have by the door. Since i was there for only 90 seconds, and went right back out I was really annoyed to hear one of the women from the counter calling after me "Seeeee Yaaaa" They don't know me from Adam and this is plain rude and offensive. What is wrong with these people? read more
