We are so pleased with Steve and his team's work in our home. He was easy to work with during the whole process and we love the end result. We will be calling him the next time we need tile! Thanks Steve! read more

Steve Callahan renovated one of my bathrooms in 2013, installing niches and wall to ceiling tile in the shower and installing new shower fixtures, a new glass shower door and new vanity cabinet to replace an old wall sink. Great work. I was not in San Diego at the time, and Steve and his partner shared photos of the work along the way so I knew the work was being done the way I wanted it to be done. In addition to being an expert at tile installation, Steve is also just a really nice person as well. I highly recommend him. read more

Steve and the crew have done every bathroom, fireplace, and backsplash in two separate homes. Amazing work, great team, easy to work with! Give 'em a call! read more

I started wanting tile for a single room, but ended up doing four rooms and two accent walls and it looks great.

Steve and his team did an amazing job for us a few months back. They installed new shower tile for us prior to selling and I'm sure it made a huge difference in the appeal of that room and our overall home. Super detailed and very easy to communicate with. I hope I can find an excuse to use these guys again! read more

Steve and the Hi Style Tile team went above and beyond to do a fabulous job on our shower wall tile, curbless shower floor and laundry room floor.

We talked to Steve about the overall modern look we wanted to achieve and he recommended ideas which we would have never thought of, but glad we went with his recommendations which resulted in an extremely polished look. Overall, Hi Style Tile was an exceptional team and we plan to book them again for our next tile project. read more

Steve and his guys did an amazing job completely gutting and remodeling our super outdated master bath. This was our first experience with remodeling, and Steve was so great at offering advice and guiding us through the process. They were total perfectionists, and also made sure to clean up at the end of each day which was very appreciated. All of the guys were really friendly too, and very tolerant of our dog who wanted to follow them around all day. I can't wait until we can have them do our other bathroom! read more

Okay, I waited for quite a while to get a chance to have Steve work on our house. From the moment I saw some of his work and knew that it would be good but, I had no idea how good it would actually turn out. First of all, I enjoyed consulting with Steve on our project, he is a person who enjoys what he does and it shows. Second, he's a pleasure to work with, and he's likely the most conscientious​ designer out there. Not only does he have a great eye for color and patterns but, having seen so many​ different types of homes he anticipates​ the more subtle problems well in advance. Lastly, he has a wealth of really good experience and he communicates it really well. This might seem par for the course but, every house is unique and there really isn't anything that works out of the box for a house with any real​ character. As such, things like the type of vanity or bathtub can make or break a project. Knowing what to look out for before you start can save so much time and money up front. We renovated a not too dated bathroom, hoping to give the room a clean look with easy to clean surfaces, a bit more storage, ​and a more modern looking vanity. The result, I'm happy to say, met our​ requirements to the letter. The work was not easy, and there were certainly a few head-scratching moments but, the end result was well worth the trip. We took a little bit longer than expected, due to changes in the lighting and backsplash design, but Steve never complained. He completely understood and let us take the time we needed to make decisions we were happy with. Now that the bathroom is done, my family thanks me every day for giving them something that they enjoy. So, ​to Steve and the tile team, Thank you! read more

Steve and his team did an amazing job with out tub/shower and shower update. They were very timely and Steve is very responsive. We were doing this updating from afar so it was great to receive the updates and progress reports. They even finished ahead of schedule. They left their work area very clean as well. It will look even better when the plumber attaches the fixtures ... I'll update after the water has been turned on to wash it down and enclosure has been installed read more

Steve is the REAL DEAL! He completed my kitchen floor yesterday, 3/31/14, and I couldn't be happier. After a leaky water line behind my fridge left my floor flooded and unsalvageable, I decided to put out some facebook feelers to see if there were any good tile guy recommendations. I had a few different folks give estimates, some higher and some lower than Steve, but I immediately had a great feeling about him as he took the time to explain the process, how he would approach the project, and he paid particular attention to the details that I had initially overlooked (sealing the grout, how tiles line up, pattern ideas, transition pieces, etc.) He started the work early Saturday morning (showed up exactly on time), and he was meticulous with the prep work to ensure my place remained clean and unimpacted by the dust. I left him unsupervised the majority of the weekend, trusted him in my place and tried to stay out of his way. I returned to a finished product that was absolutely AMAZING! I'll be honest, I'm pretty fastidious, especially when dealing with something like flooring. With that being said, the tile was put down PERFECTLY! Completely level, cut precisely to the wall, joints are error-free, exceptional work... I would absolutely recommend Steve to anyone looking for a true professional to drive a quality tile project. He cares about his work, and he cares about his customer. I truly couldn't give a higher recommendation. read more

I highly recommend Steve. He did the tile in my bathrooms, and the work was excellent. Communication was great, the price was good, the workmanship was wonderful, and the whole experience was stress free. I have recommended him to my neighbors and would certainly work with him again without hesitation. The baths look incredible! read more

Steve did our master bath about a year ago. Shower pan, 24x48 white tile in shower, slab vanity. The price was extremely fair, but the work was exceptional. They showed up when they said they would, kept the site clean, finished a little early. Superb work at a more than fair price. What more could you ask for?? So, a year later I call him with a question. Not only does he call back promptly, but he swings by to look for himself. It is a rare thing for a contractor with this much integrity....................... read more

Steve is very easy to work with and honest. Did amazing work on a shower floor and bathroom floor in a tiny bathroom on our 3rd story. The bathroom is amazing! Can't wait to start on the 2nd story remodel in a few weeks. read more

Steve and Gabe (and a couple other nice fellows I don't remember their names) were wonderful! Steve was recommended to me by a friend who used him for his triplex. From the beginning, Steve was a godsend. He was intuitive, helpful, assertive, and reassuring -- all necessary qualities when you're designing a space for the first time. And having Steve's eye for design and function helped us tremendously. He essentially GC'd our entire bathroom remodel as he has plenty of contacts in the business, at decent prices nonetheless. His coordination and helpfulness was necessary in getting the job done, especially with two novices like my husband and me. I would and will recommend Steve and his team for your tiling needs! For reference, he demo'd a disgusting bath, demo'd flooring, demo'd cabinetry, tiled and fitted a shower, installed flooring, installed vanity and toilet (with assistance of a plumber). Even when our hardware took forever to come in, he was patient and understanding. He even patched our walls mostly because we had never patched large holes. He went above and beyond - I can't say enough nice things about this guy -- thanks again Steve! read more

Absolute awesome experience with Steve and crew on remodeling my bathroom, just finished yesterday. Tiling of my shower and floor came out amazing; favorite feature is the shower metal trim with mitered corners that matches my brushed nickel fixtures. Paid extra attention to detail and did work above and beyond with patching back of drywall, baseboards, providing additional piece of marble for side backsplash and other items that came up. I couldn't be more pleased with the overall experience. And I have kids in the home so were very respectful of the space in addition to wearing masks. 6 stars. Courteous, punctual, awesome team. Thank you Steve! read more

Steve-O Designs - a bathroom with a toilet and tub - General Contractors Near Me - San Diego, California

I was having a floor catastrophe with another company. I just needed to talk to another professional. Left a message and he called back instantly. He listened to my issue and gave very sound advice that I was able to back up with further research. He even followed up with me. I wish I found him first. I did continue working with our current team, but it was because of Steve that I felt confident about the solution. Very nice, professional, experienced, and caring. He knows his trade. Thank you Steve. read more

I hired Steve to tile our shower and I'm so happy with the result!! He was so accommodating to my schedule and everyone was super friendly! I will definitely be hiring him to do our other shower! read more

We finished our project before 2017 Christmas but didn't leave a review immediately. Why? First, we would like to see whether Steve's job can last during time. Second, we would like to see how Steve perform for minor changes. After three months, we were very glad that we chose Steve for our project, and we highly recommend Steve for your bathroom remodeling. We were first time buyers and it's our very first remodeling project. Steve displayed his profession-ship from the first time he showed up in our house. Unlike other contractors we compared, he did a very careful measurement to calculate the materials we need. He also provided a reasonable price and schedule to meet our deadline. After we decided to work with Steve, he introduced the process and let us know the amount of materials that we need to purchase. He even helped us to pick up the materials, which was a great help since we don't have a big van. Talking about the quality of the work, we were very happy about the overall looking. The tiles were cut and installed perfectly. The shower and the toilets worked perfectly after three months' use. No signs of leakage. Another thing I would like to point out that Steve is very responsive. As mentioned above, we got a very tight schedule and merely finished the project before Christmas. In early Jan., we contacted Steve since there were some minor parts that need to be fixed. He came to our house the second day after he finished his vacation abroad, ignored the jet lag, and fixed all minor parts nicely. We really appreciate it. We would choose Steve again for our future projects, so should you. Give Steve a call and you would enjoy the high quality his company brings. read more

We were recommended Steve from some friends of ours who got wood-look tile done throughout their downstairs. The only tiling work we needed done was our fireplace face and hearth, the upstairs master bathroom shower and tub, and the floor of the laundry room. Steve suggested looking at Arizona Tile and Home Depot for tile, and I was able to find selections relatively easily. Arizona had a ton of great selections, but I eventually went with Home Depot in the end because their prices (for some of the tiles I was looking into, which were 3x6 white glossy subway tiles, and a basic light brown tile for the laundry room to match the other tile in the other bathrooms in the house) were better than Arizona. The only tile I got from Arizona was for the fireplace hearth. Throughout the whole project, which took roughly two months, Steve was easy to work with and communicate with. I'm not sure how his pricing compares to other contractors, but my friend who had referred him who had done the research said he was pretty competitive, which was why we went with him without getting other quotes. There was a lot of demolition for our project, and Steve and his team kept everything contained and relatively clean, and hauled/dumped everything (not for free; there's a demo cost in his quote). Steve also referred people for the plumbing/shower fixtures and for our fireplace mantel, and both those contractors were great to work with as well. We are still working with the plumber he recommended actually, Abraham, who also helped Steve the tile work. He'll be doing our glass shower doors for the master bathroom and other two bathrooms, and has installed new toilets and a kitchen sink + faucet for us. The whole thing in the end cost around roughly $7,500 just to give you an idea, excluding the cost of the fireplace mantel. Everything turned out beautifully and my husband and I were really happy with how everything turned out. There was also a minor bookkeeping error that neither of us nor Steve had caught until the end, and Steve had gone abroad on a trip by then, but he resolved the issue quickly and professionally when he got back. Would definitely recommend him to others, and would use him again for future projects! read more

I can only think of three contractors in my life with whom I've been completely happy with, and Steve is one of them! I actually met him about nine years ago when I was still living at my parents house. I was looking for someone to install tiles in my parents two bathrooms, and unfortunately, I didn't go with him in the end because I hired a "friend" who I thought was doing me a favor. You probably can tell where the story is heading. I made a poor mistake and from that day, I learned to never mix friends with business again. However, I did realize from my first time meeting with Steve that I would hire him in a heartbeat once I own a home and here I am today. I called him up to install tiles as an accent wall in two areas of my home. It was a decision that I didn't even discuss with my husband because I knew that he would do an awesome job. My instinct was correct because I cannot tell you how pleased I am with the outcome. One of the things that typically would bother me with tiles is if the grouts aren't aligned and equally spaced out. Well, Steve installed them perfectly and it was impeccable. It's really hard to find contractors who are competent, hardworking and honest. Not only did Steve possessed all of those qualities, but he was respective, patient, kind and had high work ethics. During the three days that he was here, he cleaned up at the end of each day, and I loved that he was also using high quality materials for the job. I had also asked him if he could come back and re-caulk some areas in our entire house and I was also very pleased with that. When we bought our house, it was built as brand new but the builder failed to seal the grout and it got dirty really quickly. Steve and his team made those areas look clean and presentable again. I am so happy with his work that I'm already thinking about doing more additional accent walls in other areas of my house. I highly recommend him over and over and would definitely hire him again for any tile work. Steve, thank you so much for your service! read more

This review is overdue! I called Steve earlier this year to fix a botched tile job in my bathroom done by someone else. Everything he and his crew did exceed my expectations: they were extremely professional, knowledgable and reliable, and they finished the job in the time-frame as promised. Also, his price is very reasonable for the work they do. I was so impressed that I later hired them to tile my kitchen backsplash and living room fireplace. After working with more than a half dozen contractors during my year-long home remodeling, Steve is the only contractor I would recommend to others, and he definitely lives up to the 5 Star reviews on Yelp. Thanks Steve! read more

I couldn't be happier with the tile floor Steve installed in my bathroom. He quoted me $700 for the job, and even though it turned out to be more work than expected (due to some subfloor problems), he did the work for the price quoted without any complaint. It also rained cats and dogs and hippos during the job, meaning that poor Steve had to cut tile in the rain, but he did so without complaint. I felt so good about Steve's work that I'm sending him an extra $100 as a tip. He deserves it. And did I mention that the floor looks perfect? read more

The Tile Guy. Steve-O has done 4 tile jobs for me now, and I'm always impressed with his mad tile laying skillz and his phat grout work. He's the man. read more

If you plan on installing tile, Steve-O is your guy. He's genuinely friendly and thorough and so are the people who work with him. I read Julie C.'s review about his great grout work and indeed it was true. Because I'm only in SD 4 days out of the week, he brought in extra workers to get a 3 day job done in 2 days flat. They were really careful about protecting the carpet with carpet protection film while treading back and forth and respectful about not wearing their shoes on other parts of the house. When he found out my toilet wouldn't flush correctly, he even ran to Home Depot to buy materials to fix it! Now there's someone going the extra mile. My dad is a General Contractor in LA but his tile guys don't compare to Steve. I look at the beautiful tile work and now I want to put tile everywhere! He will refer you to San Diego Marble and Tile to check out what kind of material/style you want. Make sure you visit their closeout section in the back. That's where I found a beautiful $5 tile on closeout for $1.89! For two bathrooms I only spent about $350 on tile slabs. I couldn't be happier about that. For tile installation, call Steve-O! The guy is in love with stone and tile. It doesn't get any better than someone who loves their job! read more

This review is overdue! I called Steve earlier this year to fix a botched tile job in my bathroom done by someone else. I was a bit skeptical after one bad experience, but everything Steve and his crew did exceed my expectations: they were extremely professional, knowledgeable and reliable, and they finished the job in the time-frame as promised. Also, his price is very reasonable for the work they do. I was so impressed that I later hired them to tile my kitchen backsplash and living room fireplace.

I would definitely recommend Steve-O Designs for quality tile work. Steve-O is very creative and gave my wife and I some great suggestions on the color and type of tile to achieve the look that we desired. He brought some left-over travertine from a previous job and used it to give our soap box a truly custom look. On top of his creativity, this company offers everything that you look for in choosing a good contractor: set the right expectation up front; be on-time; keep the job site clean; and most importantly, perform quality work at a fair price! We love our new bathroom! read more

Steve-O is professional, responsive(gets back to me over e-mail and telephone) and super laid back. I was in a tight time schedule for a small job to re-tile a small section in our kitchen. I am so glad that he gave us fair pricing considering how small the job is. He enjoys his work and it shows because he did not mind at all working on a Sunday :) He showed some pictures of coffee tables that he makes and we love how artistic he is. Definitely going to consider him for tilework for our future bathroom remodelling.. read more

My husband and I hired Steve and his crew back in February to tile our fireplace, kitchen backsplash, and do 2 of our bathrooms. I am new to San Diego from LA and as of lately I have been relying on YELP for pretty much everything. I met with 5 tile companies to get quotes, vibe , and vision. Steve stood out beyond all the others. He really helped work with our budget and he is so creative he understood what direction we wanted to go with our bathrooms. I feel like I have my very own little spa On top of that, the work that was done by his crew is done so precise and Absolutely gorgeous.!!!!! His team was very respectful of our house and our pets. I would hire them again and again.!!! Thank you Steve for doing such an awesome job. read more

We needed to have a very non-standard shower job done at our condo. We live in the San Francisco bay area, so we had a lot of time constraints and had to do a lot of phone consultation. Steve-o was simply amazing. He was helpful and understanding, making sure we understood what needed to be done, who needed to do it, and how long it would take. He hooked me up with quality subcontractors for the plumbing and glass work that was required. He spent a lot of time on the phone with my dad addressing his various concerns. He showed up when he said he would and delivered the job that was promised. These guys are pros. They managed to complete our shower job within our compressed time frame, and they were extremely accommodating to all of our needs. Our shower is absolutely beautiful, and there's no way it would have been possible without them. Steve-o is an artist. If you need some remodeling done, call Steve-o. He will totally hook you up in every way, and when you pay him, you'll have a huge smile on your face because you'll know it was worth every penny. read more

I had 1600 sq ft of wood-look tile to do and got several bids. Steve's was a little less than the middle bid, but he measured every inch and seemed like a professional who only did tile as opposed to most of the others who were general contractors, which made me trust his work more. The guys started work on time and right away were professional, respectful, and doing a great job. Work slowed a couple times but there was never a day where someone didn't show up to work, keeping progress moving. The guys were good at cleaning every day and I never came home to an overflowing toilet from someone's huge dump. As Steve made requests for progress payments I checked his math every time and every time it was right on. At the end of project, they fixed the stuff we asked them to, did a great cleanup job, and agreed to come back and take care of any touch ups we found. All projects have issues but Steve, Steve, Gabe, and Gio made it as little stress as possible. I would highly recommend them to anyone, including my boss. read more

I couldn't wait to put in my review until Steve was done with our tiling job because it already looks THAT AMAZING! He is re-tiling our 20-year-old family room, entry way, fireplace, three bathrooms, laundry room and another entry way. He is a perfectionist, is very easy-going, listens to my concerns, etc. I knew he was the one for the job during the first interview. You just know when the fit is right and I am not disappointed. I am glad I looked on Yelp. There is absolutely no one else you should look for when a tiling project comes up. I can't wait to see the entire outcome!! Thanks, Steve, you are the best!! read more

We hired Steve to replace our wood floor that was damaged due to a leak in our roof. His crew was here everyday on time and did a great job laying down our porcelain wood tile, they were clean and even came on a Saturday to get the job done quickly. I would definitely hire Steve-O Designs again! read more

Shortly after Steve finished with our condo the HOA had a water leak (unrelated to any work Steve did) which required a significant dismantling of the guest bathroom Steve had just finished. We contacted Steve to see if he could come back and repair the damage the plumbers did and he was gracious to accept the job. He did a great job again and even got complements from our disgruntled tenant. Thanks Steve! read more

I always wanted a gazebo, gramma had one and I loved sitting in there with a cold lunch on a hot day. I had a few designs in mind and met a home remodel company at a home improvement expo. We struck up a conversation, and he scheduled a meeting mid week. He looked at my ideas and the lay of the land, scribbled some notes and said he's be back Friday. A professional presentation in hand, with costs, success we struck a deal, and I am the proud owner of a gazebo gramma would be jealous of, I love it! read more

I contacted Steve-O after seeing the reviews by Julie C. and Tracy C. I also got bids from two other tile guys. Steve-O gave me a fair quote, lower than one and the same as the other. I went with Steve-O because he was completely responsive to all my communications. He always called me back within 24 hours. He also communicates via email when many other contractors won't. He laid backer-board over a plywood subfloor and 300 sq ft of 13x13 tile on a diagonal with 1/8" grout. That's not the most simple job in the world and he did a fantastic job. I appreciated his communication skills before and during the job. I also liked his on-site assistant. He did the job very quickly and neatly, plus he recycled all the water used for cutting tile. Thanks, Steve-O. I will be calling you again! read more

Steve-O Design definately live up to thier reviews here on Yelp. Steve returned our initial call the same day we placed it. He did this while he was on vacation out of state (unheard of in the construction industry). Given that Steve was out of town, David quoted our job, and returned the quote that evening. There truly was no comparison to the professionalism, price and service these guys gave us, even prior to being awarded the job. David and his crew put thought and pride in their work and it shows. Our floor was impeccably done and looks amazing. As the work on our home continues, we will look no further than Setve-O Design for all our tile needs. Great company. read more

If you need tile flooring, Steve is the man! I found Steve via Yelp and couldn't be anymore satisfied with the quality of his work. Steve and his crew (Jesse and Dave) completed my 3-bathroom and a washroom projects within a few days. His team even showed up on Sunday. He is genuinely friendly and honest. Most importantly, he is prompt in responding to calls and messages should you have any concerns or issues. read more
