Van and his team did an amazing job on our tile in our bathroom remodel. The floor tiles are all perfectly spaced - and toasty warm with the heating system they installed underneath. They leveled the uneven plywood under first by "floating" the floor before installing the tiles. The tiles in and around the shower are very pretty too. They were very fast and reasonably priced. We highly recommend Van!!https://s3-media3.fl.yelpcdn.com/bphoto/OHaGnAAi5cPF96E8OQgUtA/168s.jpg

Paul and Van are professional business owners and very helpful providing suggestions for residential remodels. We ended up with Luxury Vinyl Planking (LVP) for floor materials. The crew was very considerate during demo and construction work. They were prompt, efficient, and cleaned up each day before leaving. Very competitively priced and the end result was better than we hoped. Absolutely recommend for any floor and tile work in your home! Thanks guys

Beyond happy with our remodel of two bathrooms and laundry room by Beyond Basics Tile and Stone. After years of trying to get our bathrooms remodeled and having contractor after contractor not follow through with quotes, we finally hit the jackpot. Van was out within a few days of my first call and had a very detailed quote not long after. Kim his Operations Manager is amazing to work with, she answers questions, double checks details, explains the scope of the project, helps with ordering, and is just a very nice person to talk to. Everyone on Van's crew is completely professional and hardworking, from demo (Christian and David) and the tile superstars (Christian and crew). Trevor who works primarily on plumbing but can do much more is such a pleasure to work with, and also tackled a bonus project in my son's room that Van agreed to do last minute. Van is extremely professional and very detailed oriented. He is also dedicated to making sure a project is completed to perfection, down to shower levers and drains. Best of all, even with many add ons on our end, he completed within the estimated time frame and at a very fair price.

My kitchen floor was saved by the team!

Van and Paul are very knowledgeable and professional, this review is long over due because of the holiday season, I want to thank them again here for they helped rebuilding my kitchen's tile floor. My kitchen floor was done only 8 months ago, but I can already see cracks and hear noises when I walked on it. Called the previous contractor but never got reply, so I decided to look for someone else. A few contractors came over and gave me different suggestions but I didn't think they provided a solution to resolve the root cause, until Paul and Van showed up. Paul, the project manager, explained the possible problems and causes of the cracked tiles. Van , the owner, inspected the crawl space underneath the kitchen himself to make sure what needs to be done. In the end they figured it out and I was convinced by their detailed explanation. The work finished in one week, the workers are also very professional and keep the house as clean as possible during the whole process. I am very pleased with the result and will use them again in the future for other projects, big or small.

We are the owners and designers of a nearly 4,000 square foot high-end home in Marin County for…read morewhich we recently completed new construction. We hired a general contractor and agreed to use all of their selected subcontractors except for a small subset we insisted on selecting ourselves, including Custom Stone. Custom Stone came highly recommended by multiple stone suppliers and other fabricators in the Bay Area. The scope of our stone installation was large and it was critically important that we select a fabricator who had experience with higher-end homes and highest-quality installations. Our scope included a master bathroom consisting of a double vanity, an 8' tall all-slab master shower and an undermounted roman master bathtub; a large kitchen with multiple stone surfaces including a 12' x 9' island; two guest bathrooms with marble slab vanities; a guest bathroom all-slab shower; an all-slab marble surround and hearth for a 42" fireplace; a custom designed and constructed semi-precious slab backlit bar; and an outdoor BBQ counter with Neolith. At the outset of the project, Custom Stone joined us during trips to various stone yards, advised us on the considerations of different materials, and helped us to obtain the most competitive pricing with their relationships. During the fabrication process, Custom Stone sent us multiple detailed design mock-ups and welcomed us to participate in the process. They recently invested in state-of-the-art fabrication equipment and technology that enables Contractors and Owners to see exactly what output they can expect, and to efficiently and flexibly provide input into the design and configuration decisions. For example, their new 3-D Laser measuring system and real-time digital vein-matching software allowed us to approve our slab layout before the fabrication started. Custom Stone's CNC waterjet cutting machine enabled exceptionally precise cuts on the material that we didn't find possible with other fabrication firms, allowing Custom Stone to produce the highest-quality end products for our project. Custom Stone's work is uncontestably one of the highlights of the new home and has significantly enhanced its aesthetic and value. We cannot speak highly enough of their work and the process of working with them. They worked and collaborated well with other trades/subcontractors, offered up creative solutions and demonstrated an unwavering commitment to quality. When we were selecting our stone subcontractor, we considered five (5) criteria in the following stack-ranked order: (1) precision in design and craftsmanship, and attention to detail; (2) knowledge of products/materials; (3) design skill in assembling pieces to create contiguous and less visible seams; (4) use of current technology and tools; and (5) reliable and on schedule. Custom Stone achieved the highest marks across all five criteria. We would certainly recommend and hire them again for whatever scope project we consider in the future.

Highly recommend working with Dimitar and Custom Stone. They were fantastic to work with on our…read moreKitchen/Bar/Bathroom remodel. They have really great attention to detail and excellent customer service. We are so happy with how it all turned out!

Apologies as this review is long overdue. If you are just here wondering if you should use and…read moretrust Luxurious Stone, then 10000% yes. Based on my experience, you will not be disappointed. If you want to hear about the overall experience and level of service, then read on... I started off my search by messaging multiple people/companies about countertop fabrication and installation. Some messaged me back, some gave very minimal responses, some places had high prices, some didn't have time for all of my questions. This is the first time I've done any countertop work and I did a lot of research on many different places and scoured the Hayward/San Leandro area and beyond to look at different countertops, designs, etc. Alvaro always responded to all my messages and emails. Every single time. Sometimes my messages would be weeks apart. When I finally made my decision to go with him, it was well over a month from when I first contacted him. He stuck with me all along the way and that left an impression on me, especially in this type of business. I had a few strange questions about different options and configurations of the counters and he was always responsive with open and honest opinions and information. Once I finally picked out my material, he met me at the shop where I purchased the counter to check out the material and he helped me make sure we were getting a good piece that wasn't too warped. All of this helped reassure me that he approved of my selection and that his trained eye could notice things that I wouldn't be able to notice on my own. He picked up the slab with his truck and took it off to fabricate and cut. He showed up a few days later for the install and it was done in no time. Oh, I forgot to mention that he stopped by and did a consultation and looked everything over and provided a ton of really helpful advice and analysis of the job, how he would suggest doing it, what he wouldn't suggest etc. He also brought some samples with him for me to check out and offered a great price on countertops that he already had on hand. The entire experience is everything that you would hope for in a countertop install. I will recommend him to anyone that need any countertop work. The pricing was some of the best I could find, the work was high quality (still looking great and holding up 7 months in) and Alvaro was a pleasure to work with. Thank you very much for everything!

Alvaro was professional and responsive right from my initial inquiry. I had an odd project where I…read moreneeded a slab installed directly on the carpet so I could put very heavy items on top (cabinets would have broken so those were out of the question). He was great and very clear answering my questions about the feasibility of the project, what material to use, and the timeline he could do the project in. He gave a great recommendation of where we could find a slab the size we needed (we needed an unusually large slab and he knew exactly where we could go - MSI in Hayward!). He came earlier this week to measure and make a template for the slabs, then came this morning to install with his team. It was quick, easy, and excellent! Him doing preparation with a template to take into account imperfections where we were going to install was excellent and the slabs look beautiful in our space. I highly recommend him!
