We looked at 8 or 10 tile stores for flooring in our kitchen. Ended up at Tea, had a WONDERFUL experience. Knowledgeable, patient, professional staff and really great prices. Top notch, on our list of preferred vendors now. read more

I have been extremely frustrated with my experience at Tez Marble. They were very quick to over-promise on our project. After purchasing the slab we have been waiting for almost 2 months, have been stood up without communication 5 TIMES on dates for fabrication and install; and still no installation. Been told they will show up only to have no one be there and no one tell me they won't show up. Terrible communication, terrible customer service. This is not a way to do business, and I caution all before proceeding with them for your project. read more

We got our island stone from here , Micheal was a great salesman. Explained all details of the stone. He was available to answer all my questions during from the time we bought the stone to installed . 5 stars for product and service read more

No one helped us when we came in on a Saturday. We were shown the slab room and browsed it ourselves. The showroom was pretty empty. We saw 2 other customers. One customer looked like she was just on a walk with her little dog. They have a nice selection of quartz, marble, porcelain, and quartzite slabs though. read more

We were doing a small remodel/upgrade to our kitchen. Our biggest challenge was trying to match our current back splash that we have. Tez Marble was highly recommend to us by associate that works for Floor Store. Once you enter Tez Marble you feel immediately that WOW FACTOR !!! Gizem Aydin greeted us and asked us what she can do to assist us. I briefly explain to her what we were looking for and she directed us toward the back of store where there was full room of tiles/marble to select from. Needless to say we were overwhelm and very excited with the selection that we picked. We selected 12 x 12 Cappuccino polished tiles. Finish project came out beautiful...Perfect match where our new kitchen hood stands out !!! I would highly recommend this place to all my family and friends !!! They carry beautiful products and most of all EXCELLENT CUSTOMER SERVICE!!! read more

Overall, we were very pleased with the services we received from Tez. Ceyhun was most helpful showing us quartz and granite slabs for our kitchen - we were very pleased to find a quartz slab within our budget. Additionally, Ceyhun worked with us when we were picking out tiles for the backsplash. He was always friendly and responsive to our needs, and very professional. We did run into a glitch when the installers canceled their appointment on the morning of the scheduled installation due to a machine breakdown. Michael was very helpful in calming me down and working with the installers to reschedule for the next day. The installers were fabulous, despite many issues, they did an excellent job of overcoming some difficult obstacles due to the unevenness of an old house, and the countertops look beautiful! read more

Highly recommend. Great selection. Michael the Oakland Sales Manager very knowledgeable and helpful. They very able to locate a slab I wanted but was not in their stock. read more

Had a large selection & I've purchased from them on my remodeling. Very helpful. I recommend them.

Had a really poor experience with Tez Marble. After we purchased our countertop from them the communication became impossible between fabrication and installation. When they came out to do the install, they had measured incorrectly and my stove top (which was on hand in my residence) wouldn't fit. They just left it, for over a week, without any timeline for coming back to fix it. I had to call them every single day, was promised I'd get a call back and I never did. It took me hounding them to get them to come back and fix their mistake. There were also questionable installation issues that I raised with Tez Marble directly and of course never heard back. It was such a poor experience, caused a lot of stress and unnecessary delays on my remodel. There are other countertop places, this place is not worth the nightmare. I still have part of my kitchen unfinished and it's been 3 months of trying to hassle them. Go elsewhere. read more

We had a great experience working with Michael. He answered all my initial questions with a video call, saving me a long initial drive just to see if they had the product I needed. Provided pricing and everything I needed to screen right up front, no games. On purchase day we were able to get in and out of the store, no muss, no fuss. They stored our slab until we were ready for fabrication and then provided the receipt I lost but needed to give the fabricator for pickup. Excellent customer service experience all around. read more

Amazing selection, staff are very responsive. Ceyhun was great to work with. We bought quartzite slab and were super happy with our experience. read more

My wife and I have been looking for countertops for.. over a year and Tez easily had the best selection of exotic stone (particularly quartzite) that we have seen from any other local distributor. Our sales manager, Michael DeMordaunt, was exceptional in helping us determine what the correct slab was for our kitchen. He was able to answer all of our questions and provide high quality professional insights that immediately helped us solidify and feel great about our decision. Michael had also spent an hour or so of his time on a Sunday going above and beyond to assist us. I would recommend Tez & Michael to anyone seeking high quality stones paired with exceptional customer service and professionalism! read more

I call this place the museum of stone. What a marvelous selection of slabs. Marble, granite, and quartzite in all its glorious colors. Also they have a good selection of tiles, including some exotics I've not seen other places. read more

Love my Marble and Love my Consultant After researching countertops - I also watched fixer upper shows like the Property Brothers and decided on Quartz. Unfortunately, my in-person experience with Quartz did not go well - I just couldn't find slabs that made me smile. After several visits to various showrooms rooms from Berkeley to Hayward I finally went to Tez Marble in search of quartz countertops. Quartz just did not have the look I wanted for my new kitchen. Michael DeMordaunt, talked me into looking at marble. Their marble showroom is amazing! A M A Z I N G! Michael was super patient as he walked me through the warehouse, and I looked at every piece of marble in the place over and over. After showing me around during several visits, he helped me select the right slabs for my kitchen design. I am absolutely pleased with my new countertops. The showroom display was amazing but installed they look better than I could have imagined. I'm really smiling now! read more

Michael was great he works with me all the time. pricing was fair works with my subcontractors to have the material picked up no issues I recommend him all the time. read more

Tez installed the counter top of the island crooked from the cabinet boxes and didn't want to take responsibility for the misalignment. The edge of the counter was not parallel to the front of the cabinets. This could not be fixed as the stone is permanently glued to the plywood underlayment. Tez didn't want to provide any kind of refund or any kind of help in addressing this. Will never use Tez again. read more

I appreciate their responsiveness. My company is working on a project where we need to source some stone material (this is not common for us in our day to day business) and the sales rep has been very helpful getting us samples and walking our team through the showroom/warehouse. We appreciate people who are easy to work with and can be consultative as well as helpful and responsive. read more

Awesome shopping experience at the Oakland showroom! I called to inquire regarding inventory for quartzite slabs I'd been searching for. Michael answered the phone and was able to assist with all my questions and even sent a picture of a slab he thought I'd be interested in. It was the perfect dimensions I needed and he assured me he had enough slabs to complete my job. I drove 1 1/2 hours to view these slabs a couple days later and it was certainly worth the trip! The slabs were absolutely gorgeous and Michael was very patient with me. He never rushed me into making a decision, was very thorough and even took time to lay out all my countertop measurements on the computer to confirm how many slabs I would need. After my husband and I decided to purchase the slabs Michael marked them with my name and stored them until I was ready for them to be delivered to my fabricator. When the slabs were delivered to my fabricator. He made a point to tell me "we just received your slabs and they are beautiful premium slabs!" That meant a lot to me coming from a professional who has been in the business for years. I knew I'd made the right decision! I have Michael to thank for his expert advice and knowledge in selecting great stones! read more

Super helpful, even with small projects. Michael (manager) is great to work with in person and by email.

Michael is super knowledgeable about marble and gave us some really excellent advice about the pros and cons of using natural stone in a bunch of different applications. The best part is he's very generous with his time and honest about what works and what doesn't. I know we got the best value possible because Michael was there to help us. THANK YOU! read more

Great selection of slabs of granite and marble they have a large selection of different stones The drive is a little far from Sf but Would recommend this place read more

I purchased granite and tiles for my kitchen remodel a few years ago and have received many compliments on my kitchen. I loved the outcome and pricing so when it came time to remodel my master bathroom, I went back last year.

Tez Marble - Love my new bathroom!!! - Building Supplies Near Me - Oakland, California

We were looking for floor tile for our bath remodel. We had looked at 3-4 other stores but the minute we stepped into Tez we knew we'd find what we needed - and we did! Michael was helpful (but not hard selling, more of a consultant) and we were free to look through and consider every and anything that might work. Great options that aren't found everywhere- ceramic tiles, glass tiles, mosaics, you name it. A great discovery! read more

After having searched far and wide for basic 12"x12" black and white ceramic Tile for a checkerboard retro kitchen floor (not many wholesalers carry these surprisingly), Tez Marble was the solution. Michael, the sales manager, greeted us with a friendly smile, gave us a tour of the showroom, and then showed us exactly what we were looking for. He was super friendly, very knowledgeable about tile and materials needed for transitions between wood flooring and our new ceramic tile flooring. He offered coffee and beverages, and brought us a cup of coffee while we were browsing. What a pleasure to browse his showroom and work with him. We purchased a brand he recommended; the brand that several other customers used, and were very happy with. We plan on continuing to purchase materials for our kitchen remodel, and any bathrooms in the future. Highly recommend. 11/2019 Tez Marble remains our go-to for our bathroom and kitchen projects. After purchasing tile for our kitchen floor, we subsequently purchased additional tile for two bathroom remodels. Michael, the salesman, was friendly as ever and always offers a cup of coffee :) I brought in a sample tile from the Home Cheapo, and Michael suggested an ever better tile which made for a stunning design choice for the first bathroom. He was also very helpful in choosing tile for our second bathroom. Always a pleasure patronizing this business, as their selection is high quality and the customer service is unrivaled. Looking forward to returning to Tez for kitchen counter tops and back splash! read more

What can I say? From start to finish, the entire team was fantastic. I want to call out Gizem and Taha, who walked us through the selection process and install process, respectively. They were both extremely patient and flexible with us, and were able to incorporate the changes we asked for throughout the planning and install phase. This is a knowledgeable and adaptable team, which me and me wife greatly appreciate. We will keep going back to them time and again. Also of note is their prices are extremely reasonable. I don't post often on Yelp, but they are a great company, with great people working for them. read more

We bought 4 slabs from Tez. Michael was our sales rep. He did an awesome job explaining everything we needed to know. They were even cool enough to keep our slabs at their site until we were ready to install. We saw Michael write my name permanently and legibly on the side of each slab so that no one else could purchase them. There is absolutely NO WAY for them to have sent the WRONG SLAB as another reviewer believed to have happened to her!! No "bait and switch", as she called it, could have possibly happened. These guys have an excellent selection of rock, and they are very helpful in showing you the colors you might be looking for. Michael is excellent with regards to his knowledge and guidance regarding the materials as well as the application. read more

Tez has a great showroom and Gizem is great to work with. It's easy to spend hours there looking at all the fabulous pieces of marble and granite. Gizem helped us navigate the selection process. She's very helpful and accessible for Q&A. She took care of coordinating all the details of our countertop order including fabrication and installation in our new kitchen and helped us to meet our scheduling requirements. The entire staff at the showroom and fabrication site are very friendly and easy to work with. We're going back to them now for help with a second project in our dining room. read more

Ah, yet another remodeling review. Hold onto your keyboards because here it comes: Hubby and I had been searching a long time for our new kitchen counters. We likely went to a dozen places looking at marble and granite and glass and anything else you can put on a counter. Most of the places had the same old stuff - you know, the sparkly granite that looks like it should be in a Brazilian disco? Anyway, we were coming back from San Leandro, talking in the truck about which granite we hated the least, when we saw a parking lot full of granite on the side of 880. Hubby: "Let's look at one more place." Me: "Do they have a bar?" Hubby: "I don't think so." Me: "Then why do we want to go there?" Hubby: "They might have something better than the stuff that we hate." Me: Sigh. "Okay." We get into the parking lot just as they were closing, but the nice man let us in anyway. The moment we got out of the truck, we spied the most beautiful piece of granite. It was not ugly or sparkly, but exactly what we were looking for. *insert choir of angels here* Then we walked inside to find the most extensive showroom we had seen. It was a thing of beauty, and if they served food and drink and had rooms, we would have stayed there for days. It was better than a candy store. Really! Anyway, we browsed a bit, felt bad about keeping them after hours and made a deal for the slab. We left very happy knowing that we didn't have to settle for less than what we really wanted. Hubby went the next day and paid the cash deposit for the slab and was told they would contact us to arrange for the install. Fast forward a few months. We get a grumpy call from Chris (who is actually really nice, just wait for it) asking when we were going to finish paying for our slab. Hubby being...well, Hubby, says, "After you install it!!" This started a whole chain of events that is odd and somewhat remarkable (but unsurprising to those of you following the drama of our remodel). After several phones calls with Chris, we end up scheduling the installer to come out and measure. He does and tells us he will be there to install at a certain day and time. Yup, you guessed it. That didn't happen. In fact, when Hubby called him around noon on the day he was supposed to be installing (after Hubby waited all morning for him) he said, "What's your problem?" to Hubby. Not a good thing. In fact, the guy hadn't even cut the slab yet. We were ready to get our money back and go someplace else. Chris was so nice though. He really worked with us to make things right. He called another installer who came out, measured, cut and did a great installation. It was a long process from beginning to end, and a lot of drama along the way, but in the end it was all good. We'll be back to Tez because of Chris and because of the great selection of home improvement goodies. Not sure if we'll use them again for any installs though. read more

We purchased granite for our fireplace remodel over a year ago from Tez, worked with Michael who's an absolute gem of a salesman. I think the hardest part of this purchase was actually choosing which granite would be perfect. After the choice was made everything went very smoothly, from being confident in the referral Michael made for the cutter/installer, to the quick & efficient manner in which the granite was picked up, template made, granite cut & finally installed, grouted where needed & then sealed. We also have plans for the very near future to re-do our kitchen. The floor we put in the kitchen will run throughout the entryway, the hallway, the guest bathroom & laundry room, +/- 1,400 sq ft. Searched many places but found what we want for marble floors at Tez. Michael suggested we take home a couple of tiles to see what it looks like in our home, which is great because we're able to see how it matches up with the remodeled fireplace & family room. Now I just need to pin down my favorite granite slab(s) at Tez for countertops! Because we had such an outstandingly positive prior experience with Michael, & Tez, this will be our vendor of choice when needing tiles, stone, granite, etc... Don't know how their pricing compares to other similar businesses, but my dad always said you get what you pay for, so it's with it to us for quality - both in the product quality department & the customer service department. Their new location at Hegenberger Court is very nice, well organized & clean... what can I say? I love the new showroom! read more

The first time I came here I had only a general idea of how I wanted to design my bathroom so the selection was pretty overwhelming. Plus they were pretty busy. It didn't seem like there was a good way to note which tiles I was interested in and we ended up duplicating efforts as I took pictures but then had problems finding the tiles in the display when the salesperson came back to ask if I had any questions. I was given a general price range for the pieces I expressed interest in and it was recommended that I return on a weekday when they are much slower and could take time with me. So why the five star rating? I shopped at other places and picked out tiles but what kept eluding me was attractive tiles that could be used for the floor of our shower that met the specs my contractor laid out. He needed 4x4 or smaller and I had originally picked out large shower floor tiles. The big box stores either had tiles that couldn't be used for shower floors or that I couldn't see before buying. I tried another warehouse type store and didn't like the selection and couldn't wait a week for the items to be shipped. Then I started getting desperate. In order to stay on schedule with a tight project timeline I needed to get my contractor the tiles within the next 48 hours only I was leaving for a conference that night! So I came back to Tez in a tizzy looking for their shower floor tile selection 4x4 or smaller available immediately or next day. With that criteria Michael pointed me towards the tile I could consider and Fatima helped me to review the options. They had an excellent selection to choose from and I appreciate their patience and gravitas in that critical moment for me. Since I brought my other samples I was able to choose the perfect complement - a gorgeous Travertine tile that reminds me of the sun-warmed stones of southern France and Italy - and was on my way 45 minutes later with the tiles in hand for a great price. I should have bought all of the tile here but since I didn't here's what I learned: 1) If you are just coming to browse your experience probably won't be as satisfactory. Having a specific idea of what you want (material of tile, size, color scheme, price per square foot and general related decor) in a store with this much selection is super helpful. 2) If you don't know what you want try to come during a weekday. 3) Tez can come through in a clutch situation when no one else can. Update: 10/16/15 Their new showroom is AMAZING! Must see! Update: 2/4/2016 Just went back and ordered fireplace tile. Dorota was super helpful as I weighed options. Can't wait until the order comes in. read more
