She's not only incredibly knowledgeable about Italics' selections, but she also takes the time to understand your vision and offer thoughtful suggestions that elevate the entire design process. Cynitha has helped me source everything from statement pieces to subtle accents, always with patience, creativity, and an impeccable eye for detail. Her responsiveness and genuine care make her such a standout. I can't recommend her enough to anyone looking for support on high-end design projects -- she's the best! I will continue to go to Italics repeatedly because of Cynthia!

I scheduled an appointment a week in advance to help me select tile. The salesperson acted…read moresurprised to see me although I had told her what day and time I would show up. She gave me exactly 5 minutes of her time and had a rude demeanor. I'm truly surprised others has a good experience with her. Follow up note for Jon- I scheduled the appointment almost a week ahead, I asked for a time slot and she replied she was open from 10-3pm and didn't give me a time. Then I told her I was aiming for 1pm and I never got a response back. Even if I did arrive early, I wouldn't have been so upset had she been kind and asked me to wait. Plus there was no other customer in the store. She wasn't kind, she was rude. Her lunch arrived as I was leaving. She was clearly unprepared. I don't doubt her ability but her demeanor is not the best presentation for your business.

Hi, this is long over due! Sorry, life happens! We had two jobs for Cesar and both were…read moreoutstanding! One was to remove bathtub, tile and install new tile for shower stall. Second was to tile over painted brick fireplace in living room with leftover tiles from granite kitchen counter. He is a wonderful and a master craftsman! He's very careful in completing the job and cleans up after every day!

We interviewed a few tile installers and had a particularly intricate and symmetrical pattern we…read moreexpected in our new master bath remodel. Cesar the owner came out, gave us a few good suggestions and gave us a bid for the job. A few weeks went by and we called him back and him and his crew took over. Cesar set the job up and his crew executed perfectly. We had a slight hiccup, nothing too bad, and they jumped at the chance to please. The next challenge was a patterned concrete backsplash in our kitchen. It turned out so well because of his knowledge and style. The completed job is stellar. He even told me to call him in a couple weeks and he will come out again and give the backsplash another coat of sealer! We were impressed with his communication and the attention to detail he followed through with. From what I understand he doesn't do a whole lot of advertising except to put his business cards in tile stores. He is honorable, respectful and trust worthy. If you have a complicated job, he can complete it with flying colors. You won't go wrong by hiring him!

I highly recommend David Shawn and Miconi Tiles.

Only thing is hard to choose products at their showroom because limited selection and hard to see everything clearly, they just need some help organizing and displaying product, however, they can likely find it if you know what you want. Downside payment and terms NOT clear from the get go, I had to make four payments and process archaic, so took time and frustrated all, so caused some rough moments that could have been completely mitigated and the experience different. Would all be much smoother if they used an up to date payment method, likely electronic.

We hired Alfonso and his team to tile our kitchen floor and they were AMAZING: hard working,…read morepatient, meticulous perfectionists. They took their time to make sure everything was done right. The results speak for themselves. Our original kitchen floor was creaky, not level, and covered with fake wood, vinyl boards that weren't wearing well. When they pulled up the flooring, they found the subfloor was made with toxic exterior plywood boards laid over the old joists, so they had to rebuild the subfloor entirely from scratch. Alfonso gave us a choice of either laying cement boards over the existing floor (cheaper but would have raised the floor ¼" higher than the adjacent room's floor), or reinforcing the joists with stringers and lowering the subfloor, to make it level with the other room and strengthen the floor (a bit more but more polished looking). We appreciated having a choice that was budget conscious, but chose to go with the flush option. The added cost was reasonable for this unexpected work, and his team worked very hard to get it done quickly and efficiently, so they could still deliver on time. When we were indecisive about grout color, Alfonso made mockup samples of a few colors so we could see the end result more easily and was very patient and accommodating as we waffled our way through it, offering his expert opinion at every turn. The original estimate for the project was 4-6 days, and even with losing a few hours to an unexpected gas leak and the need to detour to rebuild the subfloor (literally improving our home from the inside out), they still finished on time and did a truly fantastic job. The work is exceptional, better than we could even have imagined or hoped. On top of all the obvious skill and pride in their work, Alfonso's team is among the most conscientious, hardworking crews we've ever worked with. Alfonso is friendly, warm, and communicative and made sure we knew what to expect at every stage of the project, frequently texting me with updates and talking with me onsite. His communication (and his assistant Maria!) was invaluable. We didn't move out during the work and were onsite every day so we saw up close how focused and professional they were. They made every effort to protect our other floors and to minimize dust and disruption. They cleaned up spotlessly at the end of every day (so you would hardly have known they were there). They arrived every day at 8 a.m. on the dot and worked steadily with just a lunch break through to 4:30/5. His crew was dedicated, respectful, kind, friendly, and hard working the whole time they were here. We knew we were in good hands. Of all the bids we got, Alfonso's was one of the more expensive, but it was also the most comprehensive -- including everything from removing and reinstalling appliances and baseboards, demolition and haul away, leveling the floor, laying the tile, waterproofing, sealing the grout, and cleaning up meticulously every day. Alfonso's work--given its exceptionally high quality--is absolutely worth it. Some of the other installers we talked to didn't include these end-to-end services in their costs, and it was worth every penny to have the project be handled by such professionals from start to finish. We hope someday we'll have another tiling project so we can work with Alfonso and his crew again! We really can't recommend Alfonso/GM Elite enough. Thank you, Alfonso, for our beautiful new floor!

Noe…read moregave a prompt response and scheduled me within a couple weeks for shower grout and floor grout. Noe and Maria arrived on time and did a beautiful job on the shower regrout and Noe even accommodated some last minute requests to add caulking in the kitchen and quarter round. Unfortunately, we had different ideas about what grout 'touch-ups' meant for the floors - I wanted a few spots regrouted to match the rest of the flooring's grout color - but it really lacked a professional touch and didn't look good at all. I did invite Noe to come back to redo it, and it still did not meet the professional standard I paid for. I would have appreciated more thorough communication from the start to make sure I was getting what I needed. To be honest, this was not the cheapest quote I got but paid more because of the great reviews. I would be happy to change my review to 5 stars if the team wants to come back for a full regrout on the floors, but I'm not planning to pay any more than I already have. I'll attach some pictures of the beautiful shower and subpar floor grout job.
