    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.

    Bruce and his team did a great job!! If there are any problems they handle it ASAP. Looks great!

    I was looking to get some glass tile repaired in my Master Bathroom. It was a small job. I sent out…read morea request on Yelp and got quite a few replies. Unfortunately, of all the responses, only two were interested - mainly because of the tile being glass. One company came out and looked at the prospective work and DTLA wanted some pictures and specifics via text and or email. Both company's bids were the same. I sent messages to both to discuss the job further. DTLA responded, and the other one - blew me off! So I spoke with Bill at DTLA Tile. He explained a lot of information about the glass tile, and the possible reasons for the cracking. We worked out the details and set the dates for the repairs - which were planned for one and a half days. On the first day, I overheard the tile technician (Alesandro?) talking to Bill on the speaker phone speaking Spanish. (I speak a little - enough to get by when necessary) He was discussing the difficulty of the work, and Bill replied that there was a "contracto" and they had to honor it. Alesandro worked all day chipping away at the glass tiles removing them. It's a very slow process with glass and makes quite a mess. He was always wearing proper protective gear to prevent injury. Had to make a Home Depot Trip for supplies. He got all of the tiles removed on the first day and on the second day began cutting tiles - when he discovered that he was going to need the wet saw to make the proper cuts on these tiles. He left and came back shortly with a saw and proceeded to cut and install more tiles. At the end of the second FULL day of work - the tiles were installed and he would be back the next day for grouting. We found a couple of MINOR issues that we wanted to have modified. One - meant removing and replacing a tile. But they gladly did that and even made another Home Depot Trip to get some Grout/Caulk to finish up the job. Alesandro left in the early afternoon of the third day. The job had taken almost twice as long due to the complexity of the glass tile. But the price was the same as agreed upon in the "contract." Bill contacted me a day or two later wanting to stop by to pick up payment due, and to inspect the final job. He came in and took pictures of the work and we had a nice conversation about the project and he was complimentary of some of the work that had been done in our house. I had some questions about some other things and he gave me a couple of referrals. This is a GREAT Company to deal with. They EXCEEDED my expectationsI highly recommend DTLA Tile and Stone. If anyone would like references - feel free to message me here on YELP

He is knowledgeable and offered suggestions to enhance the design. Giovani created a tile layout exactly as i had hoped. Every detail was beautifully executed. Once the project began, from demolition to remodel to completion, DTLA are total professionals; doing the work, and keeping the area clean/livable each night. DTLA created a beautiful new bathroom. I definitely would recommend their services. Thank you!

They are licensed (this is very important -- we had a very bad experience hiring a different contractor earlier this year who cheated by saying he has a license but in fact not, and that contractor scammed our money and never came back to complete the kitchen remodel for us --- that's when we had to look for a new contractor and fortunately we found Annie and Robert.) Annie and Robert came and measured our kitchen and provided computer generated sketches for us to approve. Their on-site installation crew are also fantastic. Chris and Alejandro demonstrated experiences and skills throughout the whole installation process. They are also detail oriented. They acted professionally with courtesy. Overall this is an honest business with great professional crew and it's a pleasure to work with them. Highly recommended.

Although they were booked for a few weeks, the wait was absolutely worth it. The team was professional, experienced, and truly thoughtful in their craftsmanship. They are dedicated tradespeople who take pride in their work. The floors and counters were carefully covered, plastic sealed off the area to contain dust, and they cleaned up beautifully. I chose an inexpensive tile but thanks to their skill it looks great!
