    Before - tiled countertop with peninsula that had to be demoed.

    I had Juan, George and their team from Bay area Stone & Tile transform my kitchen completely from an original kitchen from 1980's that had tiled countertop, old sink with an awkward peninsula to an open and modern kitchen space. I met with Juan for the estimates, he was very receptive to my ideas and responsive to changes in the proposal as I was figuring out the right scope of work for my budget and time. He provided a very detailed and competitive estimate, and also offered helpful suggestions for procuring the materials using his contractor pricing. Juan and George started the project on the committed date, and his crew was very respectful of my property and protecting it from construction dust/debris. I had a specific ask of them to reuse existing cabinets from the peninsula that was to be demoed and reuse it in the same space against the wall. I was skeptical about how cleanly this would be done, but George pulled off this applying his masterful carpentry skills and also patched the floor tile. For the countertop, I purchased one jumbo quartz slab and had it delivered to their shop. After templating, I visited their shop for layout and it was a close fit ... just enough material for all pieces of the kitchen counter and the beautiful window sill. In the end the fabrication and countertop installation was perfect, and the single seam in the counter is well matched up. In addition to the countertop installation, they did the backsplash, sink and garbage disposal installation, range hood installation, recessed light installation plus drywall patching to cover up holes. Overall, working with Juan and George was an enjoyable experience, there were several challenges along the way as expected from a remodeling project, and they discussed with me available options to ensure I was comfortable with the solution chosen to address it. They are really honest, upfront and easy to work with, and I highly recommend giving them a call for your next kitchen remodeling project.

    Excellent job! So glad I contacted BayArea stone, George and Juan went above and beyond from planning,picking out material to installation day.

    100% happy with the work that Juan and George and their hardworking team did. I will start with the quote process. They were flexible with me on timing and did not have a huge delay on getting me a quote (often a challenge with others I contacted). Once I said I was ready to move forward Juan and George guided me in making some smart choices based on their knowledge of brands and what vibe I was going for. The actual process got off to a great start demo in a day as well as every working day was well cleaned up after. I live in willow glen so as you can imagine nothing was straight or leveled in my bathroom. Juan and George were able to achieve the look I asked for using their knowledge. This is where you get what you pay for! The skill to tackle this type of issue isn't easy to come by. Having done some DIY around my home I have personally done hours of research for other projects and still got it wrong. The finished product was nothing short of breathtaking. Overall I would highly Recommend this team they were timely, clean, professional and trustworthy. They were completely honest and up front about things (such as my uneven floor and walls) and I truly appreciate that from a homeowner standpoint. They went above and beyond in communication. I was updated on a daily basis as to where we were at and what was coming next. I also was quite happy to see that they were an equal opportunity employer as a mother of a child with a disability it was refreshing to see that they employed a worker with a disability who was hands down amazing at his job. I will definitely be working with them in the future on more projects. I am posting my before and after photos so you can see that these guys really took me to the next level.

    Juan and George lead a great team that was able to achieve outstanding results with a number of difficult porcelain slab, natural stone and quartz slab applications. Their work is in six of our rooms and in every case is a stunning example of craftsmanship. The attention to detail and quality of execution delivered results that exceeded our dreams. They are great to work with. I'll go back to them for any future needs.

    Master bathroom looking from the shower to the jacuzzi tub.

    I've had Bay Area Stone & Tile do a number of projects for me over the past 7 years and have recently had them do two bathroom remodels for me, one being the master bath and one being a smaller bathroom. The work done on the master bathroom involved tear out of all existing flooring and wall tile, the shower glass panels and pan, and tear out of the granite vanity tops and full wall mirrors. The new work included the installation of all new floor tiles (24"x24"), quartz shower wall tiles up to 8 feet in height, new tiled shower pan with a low-profile quartz curb, quartz wall tile extending out and surrounding the existing jacuzzi tub (that matches the shower wall tile), two quartz vanity tops, and installation of new sinks, faucets, shower fixtures and related hardware throughout. The shower also included an inset and small tiled bench. The smaller bathroom involved removal of a bathtub and replacing it with a fully tiled walk-in shower with a tiled pan. The bathroom floor was also replaced with 24"x24" porcelain tile. As always, Juan and George (the owners) performed the work on time, from the initial start time to the finish, including benchmark completion items throughout the project. The project has been completed for about three months with no significant issues. A couple of minor issues came up, mainly from other subcontractors hired by me, and Juan was kind enough to fix those items quickly and without hesitation (and at no charge!). As for pricing, I occasionally spot check other contractors for upcoming work and Bay Area Stone & Tile has always come in lower from about 7% to as much as 80% than other contractors. The 80% contractor was simply in "gouge mode". That being said, my decision to use Bay Area Stone & Tile over the years is governed 85% on quality of workmanship, reliability, and their commitment to stand behind their work without prodding or begging like one has to do with other contractors. Their competitive pricing is just "icing on the cake"! Lastly, Juan, George, and their entire crew are simply really nice guys to work with and who are very considerate of my home and maintaining good "cleanup practices" at the end of each day. Juan checks the jobs often to identify any issues that need to be addressed, which have always been minor and handled expeditiously and at little to no price change. I would highly recommend Bay Area Stone & Tile for your projects for quality workmanship, and exceptional attention to detail. cid:35841FE0-C717-4805-B342-3DD79DE539E9 cid:727C9FC7-59EF-4F64-9B91-7F17B1D0B98B cid:90A51C8B-6F47-4743-AE63-BA4F1D7EE184 cid:922AFF4E-CFD2-4F78-8598-665CA4257444 cid:7D06281E-A9D4-45DC-9E1A-0DF54F2DC45E

    We recently had our fireplace retiled, kitchen backsplash retiled, and replaced all of our kitchen countertops with George and Juan (owners) and their amazing crew. Honestly, I had consulted with 2 other contractors prior to them, almost started a job also but had trouble getting the other contractors to visit the site or even give me a quote once they did. 2 months I went around and around. Until I found George and Juan, within a few days they were here, and a few days after I had a quote. The job took a little longer than estimated (which is usual) but it was also right around Thanksgiving time so they were super slammed with business. Regardless, they did a beautiful job!!! Prep/cleanliness: They covered all of my new hardwood floors so carefully and were so diligent about prepping areas and CLEANING areas where they were working, every day when I came home it was as if the were never there (except for the covered floor and work they did which was apparent). I'm sure it's tough to work in a home where people are actually living but they were extremely conscientious about their tools, supplies, etc. being covered up or cleaned up. Work product: Holy moly, it all came out sooooo beautiful, I've gotten so many compliments. Of course we chose super inconvenient tiles to work with which took a lot of precision cutting and estimation to make sure the tile worked well. Small odd shaped glass tiles all over the kitchen and geometric pitched tile on the fireplace. All very visible so the layout really had to be perfect. I never had to tell them how or what direction, they just did it and only consulted me when it mattered. They also didn't complain! The sticky grout I chose also lengthened and made their job more difficult but it was better and they were honest that although it was more work for them, it was the better choice so they highly recommended. In addition to this, they have a really nice eye for design. I had a hearth for the fireplace that needed to be covered with tile as well but they suggested using some of the left over slab which would look much better. In theory, to me this seemed like it would be an easier job but it was so much more work than actually tiling it because they had to shave down the slab underneath to get it to be just the right depth to be flush with the ground AND had to fit into the area where the hardwood floor was shaped. They were right too, it looked so much better using the slab than it would have with the tile. Cost: Their estimate was very fair, especially compared to the quotes I received AFTER they started working (the contractors i contacted a month prior to George). I purchased all the tile myself because I changed my mind many times and it was just easier that way (make sure to tell the tile stores that you want a discount or you'll have your tiler purchase instead). I also had to go pick out/reserve the slabs myself and then BAS&T purchased it for me and dealt with delivery to their location, etc. So outside of the cost of the actual materials, the labor was inexpensive for the level of quality. Extras: Here's where I'm guessing where BAS&T differs from other similar businesses is in their customer service. These were seriously nice guys! I'm talking the day to day interactions, attention to detail, willingness to go the extra mile, and genuine honest/respectful nature. I even got pictures frequently during the day while I was at work so I knew what went on! Many surprises: I had these new cabinets installed flanking my fireplace which I was hoping to use extra slab for to put tops on them...this was a tricky area because the mantle right next to them was odd and slightly in the way. Not only did they build and notch around all the issues but they turned out absolutely beautiful and they intentionally didn't charge me! Another day I came home on the one of the last touch up days and found that they had used some extra slab to replace an exposed mini shelf in my kitchen (which used the old tile). It never occured to me to do this since it's such a small piece but it makes a huge difference and was a pretty cool surprise. And to top it off, they made me a little rounded edge cutting board (probably with the very last piece of slab). What a nice touch and oh my gosh what a great use of all the materials. Thank you guys for doing such a spectacular job! I'll be calling you for my bathroom tiles soon!

    Excellent work with large pieces of glass tile.

    George and Juan are masters of their trade. I was redoing my fireplace and had my heart set on some sparkly glass mosaic tile that I'd seen online. It's custom-cut, so I could have any configuration I wanted. They helped me figure out what would look best, and they came over multiple times to make sure their measurements were precise. I ended up getting two large pieces of tile: one solid piece for the wall and one for the floor. It looks beautiful. My dad's a tough customer and when he visited for Christmas this year he was very impressed that they'd been able to handle such large pieces without breaking them or installing them improperly. I'll need to have my kitchen and dining room floors redone sometime soon and I'm planning on contacting Bay Area Stone & Tile for it once I figure out what general aesthetic I'm looking for.

    The big 500lb backsplash. I hope this photo does it justice.

Incredibly patient and provided 5-star customer service. We highly recommend him! I should also add that the associates at this store demonstrate poise and grace, even when getting screamed at. Unfortunately when we were in the store today, we witnessed a customer yelling at and berating an employee, a customer, and the store manager. She stated that she was part of a group of investors who flip houses and that she has spent so much money at the store, so she was entitled to certain things and bypassing rules other customers follow. I have never seen such poor customer behavior and yet Adam (our associate) and Andrew (the manager) reacted calmly and tried to de-escalate the situation despite this entitled customer's tantrum. I, along with other customers, were complimentary of the ability of the associates to keep their cool in spite of the behavior exhibited towards them.

    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.

    My experience with Bay Stone Depot was extremely frustrating and disappointing…read more I purchased two stone slabs for my home, expecting premium quality and service given the price. Within weeks after installation, pit marks and dents began developing on the surface. Over the following months, additional defects continued to appear under normal use. When I reported the issue, Bay Stone initially acknowledged it as a quality concern but directed me to work directly with their supplier rather than handling it themselves. After months of follow-up, the supplier's representative inspected the slabs and offered replacement slabs. I then returned to Bay Stone to request some form of refund instead of replacement, since the cost of uninstalling and reinstalling the slabs makes the replacement offer impractical and financially unreasonable. Bay Stone indicated that a refund might be possible but claimed the supplier required the original slabs to be returned. That was not what I had been told. After I confirmed with the supplier that returning the originals was not required, Bay Stone changed its position. The manager, Kimberley, told me it was "not scientifically possible" for pit marks to develop after installation and suggested I should have identified the issue at delivery. I provided multiple dated photos showing the progression of the defects. After that, my messages went unanswered. What stood out most was the lack of ownership and empathy. Kimberley was not apologetic and did not appear interested in finding a practical resolution. Instead, responsibility was repeatedly shifted, and ultimately, the issue was attributed to me for not raising it at delivery, even though the slabs appeared fine at that time. It felt as though once payment was made, accountability ended. When customers pay premium prices, they expect both quality materials and meaningful support if something goes wrong. In my case, that expectation was not met.
