We were interested in refreshing our…read morefireplace in our modern home and had always dreamed of having a black marble fireplace instead of just white drywall. I Yelped and found Del Mar Tile and Stone and checked out photos and crossreferenced everything. He had stellar reviews everywhere. John the owner came out within a day or two (on a Sunday!) to look at the project and gave me a quote the next day. The project involved tiling on the fireplace surround and also into a cutout for our TV and the vent for the fireplace above. The quote was fair for the amount of work involved and I thought, hey if he's already there maybe get him to re-do tile in one of our bathrooms (a much smaller project)? I texted him a video and measurements of the space prior to him working on the space and he was able to quote the bathroom without coming back! Super cool. The quality of work is amazing. I am a detail-oriented, visual person and with the beautiful black marble with white veining that we chose (with a fluted pattern!) I wanted to be particular with what tiles we should use and which we should not. He was more than accommodating and we have a beautiful, beautiful fireplace now and a gorgeous bathroom. Not everybody could do this job. It was technical as a fireplace surround. The tile contractor had to use the right mortar and he had to level it out just right. As we homeowners know, rarely is your house completely true and flat and square everywhere and the tile had to be done to accommodate all of the imperfections in our visually perfect house. The corners and leveling had to be perfect. He had to carve into drywall to make the corner of the fireplace square. It was crazy and it would have taken me decades of experience to do this myself (enter John). The cutouts for the fireplace and the TV surround had to be perfect. The bathroom turned out flawless as well. John is an awesome person and was so kind and courteous to our pets (he told my dog Thatcher she was beautiful) and was respectful of other contractors we were having at the house at the same time. His son Hunter and his other employee Carlos who worked with him were conscientious, clean, and all three were just all around good people. Please see photos! They do not do the fireplace justice!

He got into a huge argument with the painters that were also at the house working. He offended the owner of the painting company so bad that they almost quit and left. 2. He finished our flooring and upon final walk-thru we find our toilets in the bath in both bathrooms. It took over an hour of stressful back and forth negotiating to get him to put the toilets back. 3. We recently had plumbing issues and found out Tim had covered up the trap door with flooring. This cost us an additional $2000 to get specialty plumbers and equipment to gain access to the trap door and fix our plumbing. 4. We let Tim know this and asked if he could come back and fix the hole using the left over flooring. Since he already has the equipment and know-how, it would save us having to spend hundreds $ more paying another flooring company to come out and do it. Tim refused to come and fix his mistake. His reasoning is that since we didn't tell him NOT to cover up the trap door, it is our responsibility now to fix it.

I'm very detail oriented and Alex exceeds my standards. He's responsive and really thinks through a project and anticipates things. Like he will remind me of considerations I hadn't even thought of. He's a very talented craftsman as well and while his company is flooring he's a great carpenter himself. He built some beautiful built-in bookcases for me, did intricate paneling on walls, and of course floors. He's also installed and hung new doors for us, baseboards etc. He bids projects promptly and then is very reliable and punctual once you schedule with him. Can't recommend him enough.

The workmanship is excellent, and everything looks clean, seamless, and professionally finished. Beyond the quality of the work, Alex was a pleasure to work with from start to finish. He is extremely communicative, responsive, and transparent throughout the entire process. He kept us informed at every step, answered all questions promptly, and made sure we were comfortable with all decisions along the way. Alex and his crew were also very friendly, respectful, and professional while working in our home, which made the entire experience stress‑free. It's clear that he takes pride in his work and genuinely cares about his clients. If you're looking for high‑quality flooring work and a contractor you can truly trust, I can't recommend Alex and Rivera's Flooring Installation highly enough.

Georgino Stone and Tile has done a masterful job restoring and improving our home after an…read moreunfortunate slab leak destroyed much of the drywall, a bath vanity and the hardwood flooring in our home. George and his associates have gone above and beyond and we have thoroughly enjoyed having them here. They've replaced all of the floors and baseboards with a combination of tile planks and talavera tiles. All rooms have been painted with new doors and trim. Several doors that were never installed correctly were re-installed and repainted. Walls and backsplashes were tiled with incredible artistry. New ceiling lights were installed and old lights were trouble-shooted. Genuine, honest and trustworthy, George and his crew have been truly courteous and friendly workers to have in our home. We are repeat customers. Many years ago Georgino Stone & Tile fabricated soapstone and granite countertops for us when we remodeled our kitchen and baths. I remembered George and didn't hesitate to bring him back 7-8 years later after our recent slab leak. Their integrity, workmanship, knowledge, experience and artistry is invaluable ... in as much as I'm bringing George back for additional work, I really don't want him to see that I just said that. Their work was very fairly priced. I recommend them highly.

Steve was recommended by several Qualcommers so I put him on my "call" list. Of the 10 tilers I called Steve was the only one to provide a written estimate for the job. He also handled all materials purchases (tile, cement, grout, underlayment.) And he suggested using a new underlayment material (Ditra by Schluter, a plastic roll-down matrix that gets filled with cement) that saved both time and weight of materials. Steve stayed in close contact throughout the job which took about a week. He smoothly handled a problem with the materials (several boxes of tile were too large by almost 1/4" and had to be replaced.) The results: an excellent tile floor in our new unit, and a firm (Straughn Construction) that I will happily recommend to anyone.
