    Bruce and his crew did an amazing job adding tile to my stairs! Couldn't have been happier with the quality of the work. I've attached some before and after pics. However, I wish their scheduling and punctuality could've been better, otherwise I would've given them 5 stars.

    These guys are FANTASTIC. what can I say? Don't look anywhere else. The warmth and business acumen of Solid Prime made it an absolute joy to work with. Their communication and wanting to do the best job they can really shows how committed they are to making sure their customers are happy. Great job!!

    Solid Prime Tile & Stone was and is the best contractor we have hired to work on our house. It was not luck we found Bruce at Solid Prime Tile & Stone because we checked the California State License Board, Better Business Bureau and Yelp. What we found after searching all those site is that Solid Prime Tile & Stone was the best anyone could hire. The Better Business Bureau gave Solid Prime Tile & Stone and A+ with zero complaints. Solid Prime Tile & Stone has a current license and Yelp has a 5 star rating. Bruce came over to our home on time and I mean right on the time he told us. He answered questions and provided recommendations that helped us with the renovation of our bathroom. Bruce gave us an estimate and a time line that was followed and a completion date that was achieved. Mid job, we had changes and Bruce and his crew were so helpful with these changes and still were able the meet the deadline with a quality of the work that has impressed all our friends and neighbors. Bruce and his crew are awesome! Thank you Bruce, From George and Kathy and all the horses!

    Can you see the ugly bright white caulking line? That should be grout to match the floor.

    I wish I could give this company 5 stars like everyone else. I did not have the best experience and the service rendered does not meet my expectations. If you have an eye for detail this company is NOT for you. I was excited to start my project. Bruce, the owner, was very nice and I was happy with his quote. I told him I was picky and that I had high expectations. He welcomed my critical eye and was happy to have me as a customer. I signed the contract and we started demo. The first few days were great as his crew demoed the existing tile and prepped for installation. Although I was working, I checked in on the job each day. On the first day of installation, all was good. Day 2 and 3 of install I started to notice crooked grout lines, messy work, and the shampoo niche was ridiculously cut and done. The wall tiles were not flush and the ends were not lining up. They did not cut the tiles correctly for plumbing and receptacles. It was all done half-ass and NOT to my satisfaction. I immediately called Bruce on FaceTime and he too agreed what he saw was unacceptable. We met the next morning and he saw what I saw. He claims to have fired his tile setter on the spot. He also told me that he made sure to tell his employees to do an extra good job. Should he even need to say that? About 1/4 of the tile was chiseled out and a new tile setter came the next day. He fixed the niche, he reset and alligned the tile and all was well. Then came grout. I chose a grout color to match the wall tiles, white. And a grout to match the floor tiles, a concrete grey. When I came to view the bathroom it looked as if the floor grout was white. It was not the color I chose although Bruce says he laid the correct color. Bruce was supposed to meet me so we could discuss my worry, but unfortunately, he didn't show up on 2 separate agreed upon times. Whatever. We never discussed the gap between the tile either. I would have preferred less grout lines but again, nothing I can do now. When Bruce informed me that the bathroom was complete I went to do a final inspection. I told him I was not satisfied. There were gaps in the grout between the tile and bathtub. Some of the grout was low and some areas were high. He sent someone the next day. What did they do? Put a bright white caulking line on the floor. Not additional grout to match the floor tile, no. A long, ugly line of caulking. If you know tile, you know caulking is used for repair. I was so unhappy as it cheapens my bathroom and was not done to my satisfaction. Bruce says the job is done and HE is satisfied and that is all that matters. His opinion. Not mine. He threatened to add interest if I did not pay my balance in full, even though I was not happy. He was no longer going to listen to my complaints. All he wanted was payment. Should I be sorry that I care about the details? Should I apologize for holding a company responsible? Should I be sorry that I my husband is knowledgeable about tiling and has given me the eye of detail? I don't think I should be. I work hard for my money and have a very hard time spending thousands of dollars that I have worked incredibly hard for for work that is not done to my satisfaction. It's wrong. Bottom line... if you don't mind the details and won't be bothered by crooked lines and not flush tile, go with this company. They will make sure the job is done to THEIR satisfaction, not the clients, despite it being in their contract.

    Bruce and his team were exceptionally professional and did the job on time which is a rare thing with construction. Bruce was responsive to some changes we needed done. When we wanted changes or had an issue with something he was quick to figure out a solution. I would highly recommend his business from both a quality and professional prospective.

    We recently purchased a condo for my daughter and wanted to update her old fiberglass tub/shower insert. I'm glad we found Bruce because he gave us a quote very quickly, explained the scope of work, and kept to his timeline. His prices are very reasonable. Bruce and his team are very professional and do beautiful work! I would highly recommend his company!!

    Bruce and his crew were great to work with. They tiled a bathroom and a kitchen backsplash for us and everything turned out great!

    Contacted Bruce during the covid-19 pandemic. He did a couple of virtual consultations with me through FaceTime before booking the project. Wanted to have decorative outdoor cement tiles installed on my front porch. Ended up being a difficult project due to an uneven surface, corners that were not square, steps that were not evenly spaced, shulter sizes were tough to locate, and more. However Bruce's team problem solved and the porch turned out great! Would hire again. Bruce and his crew showed up exactly on the date and time promised. His crew showed up early each day around 7:30AM and worked until around 4PM. Took 3 days to complete the porch. Would hire again for future projects!

    Bathroom Reno

    Bruce and his crew are pros! We spoke with several contractors before going with Solid Prime Tile & Stone. Bruce was extremely communicative throughout the entire process. He made us feel comfortable even though there were a few potential tricky spots between existing tile work and plumbing. We have worked with a handful of vendors during a condo renovation and Solid Prime Tile went above and beyond. I'd wholeheartedly recommend them to anyone needing tile work.

    Bruce is awesome! He came out to take a look at a tricky project with an existing stainless steel backsplash. His estimate was very reasonable and he was able to start just a few days later. He's very communicative, clear about expectations, and ultimately very skilled and professional. Working with hand-made tile requires extra care and he and his team did an amazing job. Thank you!

    Rendering

    Bruce and his team were very easy to work with and VERY clear on what to expect. They issued a work order w a break down of each item and it's cost. Down to the masking tape - that was very much appreciated! They gave me a timeline in which the project would be finished by and lived up to that deadline. They were clean, courteous, and pleasant to work with. Highly recommended to anyone in Long Beach who is looking for a professional company. Below is the rendering that I created and the actual finished product.

Our project manager, Eder, was fantastic to work with from start to finish. He was extremely communicative and stayed on top of every detail. Choosing the right flooring is a big decision, and Eder was incredibly patient while we weighed our options, even providing full sample boxes so we could see how the wood looked in our own light. One thing we really appreciated was Eder's transparency. Before the installation began, he walked the house with us and highlighted specific areas that needed extra attention. Being aligned on the solutions beforehand saved us a lot of stress and ensured there were no surprises mid-project. The crew was efficient and actually finished the entire job ahead of the original schedule. During the final walkthrough, we identified a few minor items that needed touching up. Eder handled these immediately and was more than happy to ensure every detail met our expectations. If you are looking for a professional team that prioritizes communication and quality finishes, I highly recommend Sequoia Flooring. Ask for Eder!

Earlier thebsame dayI'd gone to Ganahl's lumber in Pasadena since it was closer to me. At Ganahl's I was treated with little care by a guy behind a desk who had no trim suggestions except either fiber cement board or redwood. HOWEVER, at Imperial Annie immediately suggested Bodyguard's 5.5" trim made for exterior applications. (I like the Bodyguard trim because it had eased edges that looked more finished than straight lumber edges). Annie explained how the pine product is double primed, etc. She called her supplier right away to see if they d it in stock which they did. She also showed me samples she's ordered for another client so I could see the quality of the product. In other words she took the time to care about what I was looking for. At Ganahl's they really didn't care about what I actually needed. My husband might prefer the redwood option(because it's a more "noble" wood than pine,) but I definitely prefer the great service at Imperial which is where I'd go for any future hardwood and moulding needs.
