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.

I hired Tile and Grout King to reapply grout in the joints of our bathroom shower and at the base…read moreof another bathroom shower. We live in a new house and wanted a company that could deliver high-quality work matching our home's upscale finishes. The staff was friendly, and we enjoyed working with them. However, we were very disappointed with the outcome. We asked for a very thin line along the joints, but the finished product resulted in thick, uneven grout lines that stood out. For the other bathroom's shower pan, it was recommended to use grout rather than caulk. The grout applied was very uneven and looked as if a black crayon had been used. After spending several hundred dollars, we hired another company to complete the work. We requested another specialist from Grout Kings to handle our project, but they were inflexible and insisted that they could do it correctly. What was initially estimated to cost a few hundred dollars ended up costing a couple of thousand. I cannot recommend Grout Kings, as their work did not meet the quality promised online.

We needed a shower renovation after another contractor failed to waterproof the backer boards five…read moreyears earlier. The Tile and Grout King only offers the Schluter-Kerdi shower system (no hot mop/mortar bed). We chose this system because it provides waterproof sheeting (unlike our previous build) and doesn't require weep holes in the drain (which clogged in our previous shower, allowing water to wick beneath the tiles and leave puddles on the floor). The system's reliability depends heavily on the installer's technique, and Tile & Grout King is certified and has used this system for six years. Jordan, our PM for the job, was great. He gave us estimates and timelines, scheduled work within a few days, and completed the rebuild in 2 1/2 weeks. Jordan oversaw the delivery of supplies and removal of old debris (including the previous glass walls, which didn't fit because the profile of the mosaic accent trim we chose wasn't level). He met with the crews and us multiple times during the build to ensure we were all aligned on what was required. We had two crews working on the job. The demolition crew, Jose and Juan, finished the demo work in two days. They were extremely careful with their work, protecting the floors, sinks, and tub, and not damaging tiles on the tub deck wall so that they could be reused. They showed us where the previous install had failed (where the mortar bed was too close to the top of the drop and where the moisture vapor retarder was waterlogged). The second crew, Noe and Carlos, also did a great job. On a couple of days, they worked overtime to keep the job on schedule and to allow a full 48-hour water pan test over the weekend. They made suggestions on tile placement, such as extending the tile to the ceiling, and broadening the access trim to avoid using thin cuts of the 24" tiles. I was impressed by the professionalism of everyone who worked on this project. Everyone was very friendly and easy to talk to. We plan to call them back to work on our other shower in a couple of weeks.

My husband and I had an absolutely wonderful experience here! We visited several other stores…read morebeforehand, but no one took the time to explain things as thoroughly as the team here did. The receptionists were incredibly friendly and accommodating, even when we arrived just 10 minutes before closing because we got off work late. Despite our profuse apologies for coming so close to closing time, they warmly welcomed us, offered us coffee, and took the time to help us. We returned the following day, and Thy helped us find the perfect flooring. She was patient, knowledgeable, and thorough throughout the entire process. Her communication was outstanding, and she made what could have been an overwhelming decision feel easy and stress-free. We also had our flooring delivered to our home, and Quan, our delivery driver, was just as wonderful. As first-time homeowners, we especially appreciated that he took the time to explain different parts of the process to us. Since he is also a contractor, he was able to share valuable insights and tips that helped us better understand what to expect during installation and beyond. We appreciated his friendliness, knowledge, and willingness to educate us! From start to finish, everyone went above and beyond to provide exceptional customer service. We truly had a fantastic experience and look forward to returning as we continue making upgrades to our home. :)

Love this tile/ bathroom kitchen store so much. Found it with a google search and they were open on…read moreSunday. We were greeted right away and offered the best iced Vietnamese coffee while we shopped and designed the small bathroom reno. We were assisted by 3 people, Hailey, Lu and Hong. Shop here.

Amazing store with great selection. After visiting 5 stores finally found one with higher end stuff…read moreand proper customer service.

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.
