I highly recommend South Bay Tile. I first met Javier and Jorge over seven years ago when they did plumbing and tile work for 2.5 bathroom remodel in our home. We were so happy with their work that we became repeat customers, using them for a total of four projects, including balcony door installation and, most recently, a full kitchen remodel in November 2024. For the kitchen remodel, we needed a custom design, so we worked with Signature Kitchen and Bath for the design and South Bay Tile for the execution. This proved to be a fantastic combination, and we couldn't be happier with the results. Jorge and Javier responded promptly to our initial contact, and before providing a quote, they even had their electrician and fabricator come by to assess the project. Within a few days, I received a very detailed quote. This level of detail and professionalism stood out compared to other quotes I received, where some companies spent little time and provided only rough estimates, or focused more on upselling their past work than on understanding our specific needs. We had a strict deadline to finish the kitchen before our daughter was born, and I truly appreciated that Jorge and Javier started early and executed the project flawlessly, as the pictures show. They were even able to complete a side project while we waited for the cabinets to be delivered after the demo and prep work. Another key point I want to emphasize is their constant communication throughout the project. Jorge coordinated closely with Lizl, our designer, exchanging ideas to ensure a flawless execution. We also appreciated the ideas that Javier and Jorge brought to the table, and their willingness to incorporate our thoughts and address any unexpected challenges that arose - as is inevitable in a house built over 50 years ago.

Jorge and team did an awesome job with our shower remodel. We weren't looking to remodel the whole bathroom, which is what a lot of contractors will only do, but he was willing to take on the job. It's a small shower layout making it a bit of a challenge for tile spacing, but he made it work. He also did a type of floor cut which I found out later is a specialty skill that's not common. I highly recommend contacting him to get a quote and check out his portfolio. The shower doors were purchased and installed by a glass contractor, the rest of it was the work of South Bay Tile.

We need to renovate three bathrooms and the task of picking bathroom tiles and flooring is just…read morevery overwhelming. I initially visited Bullnose late on a Saturday, but quickly realized I hadn't allowed myself enough time to properly explore all the options. The store was very busy, and although the staff were helpful, it was clear they were inundated. Feeling lost, I decided to returned on a quieter Thursday morning and was helped by Trish, who was amazing. She was calm, patient, and offered thoughtful, helpful suggestions. I shared some AI-generated inspiration photos with her, and she immediately understood my vision. She guided me through selecting the perfect shades of taupe, beige, and greige, making the process feel manageable and even enjoyable. I walked away with all my tiles and flooring ordered for all three bathroom. I'm thrilled with the selections and can't wait to see the finished spaces come to life.

On top of that, all of the staff members are very friendly and helpful. Trish, who assisted me, was very patient and helped me a lot by giving me great ideas throughout the process. They have two locations, one in San Jose and one in Morgan Hill, which is very convenient if you want to pick something up or visit their showroom. I would highly recommend this store.

My experience with Bay Stone Depot was extremely frustrating and disappointing…read more I purchased two stone slabs for my home, expecting premium quality and service given the price. Within weeks after installation, pit marks and dents began developing on the surface. Over the following months, additional defects continued to appear under normal use. When I reported the issue, Bay Stone initially acknowledged it as a quality concern but directed me to work directly with their supplier rather than handling it themselves. After months of follow-up, the supplier's representative inspected the slabs and offered replacement slabs. I then returned to Bay Stone to request some form of refund instead of replacement, since the cost of uninstalling and reinstalling the slabs makes the replacement offer impractical and financially unreasonable. Bay Stone indicated that a refund might be possible but claimed the supplier required the original slabs to be returned. That was not what I had been told. After I confirmed with the supplier that returning the originals was not required, Bay Stone changed its position. The manager, Kimberley, told me it was "not scientifically possible" for pit marks to develop after installation and suggested I should have identified the issue at delivery. I provided multiple dated photos showing the progression of the defects. After that, my messages went unanswered. What stood out most was the lack of ownership and empathy. Kimberley was not apologetic and did not appear interested in finding a practical resolution. Instead, responsibility was repeatedly shifted, and ultimately, the issue was attributed to me for not raising it at delivery, even though the slabs appeared fine at that time. It felt as though once payment was made, accountability ended. When customers pay premium prices, they expect both quality materials and meaningful support if something goes wrong. In my case, that expectation was not met.

Incredible all around. Beautifully organized, super friendly staff and incredibly knowledgeable…read more Easily the best store in the space in San Jose. And Rosie is the best!!

This is a big store and you can check out their products online as well…read more Our contractor recommended this place as he has an account there with deep discount that can be passed onto the customers. They have a variety of tile selections and most of them were imported from Italy or Spain which with better quality there's less yield loss, hence you can buy less. Some of the special priced items have longer lead times, so make sure you double check with them. We didn't enjoy the process as much as with other shops because of 3 reasons. First of all, our sales contact was quite unavailable on the weekends or even Friday afternoons, so we had a hard time scheduling with her. But if you just walk in and ask for help from the front desk, they will assign someone to help. The second issue we found was the inconsistency of product introductions. We were worried about slippery tiles in the shower, our sales contact suggested us to focus on the tiles that have a special coating. The second sales person we talked to said the special coating was only for outdoor use, using the gauge lines between tiles is good enough to prevent slipping. Thirdly, after we got the quote, we couldn't place the order into the system with our contractor's discount; only that appointed sales person could do. Luckily we could get the rest of the process done via email and she sent out a link for me to make payment. If you have a Rakuten cash back app and pay online, I think you get the cash back as well.

There was an amazing selection of high quality tile. The customer service was great. We had Adam as…read moreour associate and he was phenomenal. Incredibly patient and provided 5-star customer service. We highly recommend him! I should also add that the associates at this store demonstrate poise and grace, even when getting screamed at. Unfortunately when we were in the store today, we witnessed a customer yelling at and berating an employee, a customer, and the store manager. She stated that she was part of a group of investors who flip houses and that she has spent so much money at the store, so she was entitled to certain things and bypassing rules other customers follow. I have never seen such poor customer behavior and yet Adam (our associate) and Andrew (the manager) reacted calmly and tried to de-escalate the situation despite this entitled customer's tantrum. I, along with other customers, were complimentary of the ability of the associates to keep their cool in spite of the behavior exhibited towards them.
