Carmel Stone Imports is by far the best showroom on the Monterey Peninsula. The variety of Stone, Quartz and other natural stones. Again, in huge variety from far reaches of the globe.

On several occasions she has given support to our client's while selecting the countertops, backsplash involved in our designs. A crucial component to our Design Center as well as each and every project. Carmel Stone Imports has great support and is a pleasure to work with.

Lisa is wonderful to deal with, she answers all your questions, follow-ups and is so knowledgable. Carmel Stone has a wonderful amount of quality stone. Their slabs are very unique and I appreciate the time it takes to have someone pull out the slabs so you can see the other ones before buying. I have found everyone to be nice and helpful. From management, sales, guys pulling out the stones, kitchen tile department. You want be disappointed! read more

I'm part of a construction company, Disaster Kleenup Specialists. In my position, customer service and selection is key to providing the best experience for a homeowner. Lisa at Carmel Stone is always so helpful and professional. Her experience has bailed me out of a few situations by even matching natural stones and tile. I mainly call her when I need countertops however. They have the best selection of natural stones as well as Quartz Countertops. They are also very competitive in their tile selections. I've attached some photos of the beautiful work Lisa was able to help me find and work with the homeowners budget. I've worked on over 20 projects with her and expect to continue our relationship with her due to her excellent customer service and her knowledge in the industry. read more

I worked mostly with Lisa Houle. She was very helpful. We probably spent hours together over the past several months. I am very grateful to her for the help. She provided me while choosing tile for an entire house. read more

We're completely remolding our house (floors, walls, fireplace). We worked with Megan in selecting 4 different materials, including a large slab. She is very knowledgeable and answered all questions with ease. Our materials were delivered in a timely manner. Balde was helpful answering several questions as well. Excellent team and incredible selection of materials. read more

Service: we have always had attentive service - Evan has been our sales consultant for our kitchen and wine bar remodel. He answered all of our many questions, and discussed the pros and cons of various stones. He arranged for several slab 'visits', which really helped with some additional decision making. He is very polite, easy going and fun to chat with. We have worked with other stone suppliers (see below), and Evan has been the best consultant to work with, by far. Selection: when we lived in the Bay Area, we purchased slabs from IRG and DaVinci. These are both huge suppliers with a good selection, but Carmel Imports has more quartzite (our preferred stone) and the people are much better to deal with! I highly recommend Carmel Imports. read more

Very rude, their customer service needs major help. I see why shoppers go to San Jose read more

Omg... I can't get over my new countertops. Working with Baldemar ("Baldy") was AWESOME. He gave us a very reasonable price and was willing to work with us to get our dream stone at an amazing price. Without his help, we would not have been able to get what we wanted. Thank you thank you!!!! read more

Tried to come here to see about purchasing quartz countertops as we are in the middle of a kitchen remodel. We waited around the store for almost 30 minutes and were never helped. We left and will take our business elsewhere. read more

I spoke with Evan, not once, but twice in 10 days and requested a quote on a slab of quartz. Never heard from him again. Since that request, I've ordered the quartz from another company, had it picked up, fabricated and installed!! You'll be waiting a long time if you try to get anything done at this place. Do yourself a favor and go somewhere else! read more

If your project is DIY with relatively small tile needs, I sincerely hope your experience with customer service is better than mine. No problem with the order, but a very "could care less" attitude elsewhere. I was told I would be contacted when the order came in - not contacted, I had to call them. I was told it had arrived but first needed to be checked and would be contacted later in the day - no contact later that day nor for two more days, had to call them to arrange for pickup. Good Luck! read more

I saw an interesting floor tile in the window that caught my eye. I went in and asked the clerk about it. She seemed disinterested in my request to learn more about it. I wanted to see photos or get information as to how it would look on a floor. She had no answers, did not get anyone else to help me nor did she offer to call me back. Had no interest in helping me with a new floor. It would have been a substantial sale. The customer service I received was so bad I would not recommend them based on my experience. read more

Our house flooded and we needed a complete remodel. We worked with Lisa, she was amazing and very helpful during our process. Carmel Stone has a wide selection of products. We would definitely use them again for any home project. read more

I worked with Balde at Carmel stone and was impressed by the outstanding service and attention to my order. I would highly recommend balde and Carmel Stone. read more

I am a total supporter of the local business. I have done many remodels and used many different stone companies. This was by far the worst experience I have ever had. They shorted me on my order blamed my contractor for stealing charged me more money so that I could get what they shorted me gave me less than superior tile, told me that they told me there would be veins going through the tile. They did not. They gave me tiles with mold on them. And when I complained just gave me excuses and told me I owed more money for the tiles. I definitely will not go back to them nor will I recommend them. read more

I am so pleased with the service at this store. Evan was so patient and helpful in helping me pick out the right countertop material. He spend probably a couple of hours total discussing pros and cons of the various materials and helping me pick out the perfect slab for me. He understood exactly what I was looking for. Thanks Evan! read more

We've been working with Robbie and his team for several years now. As general contractors we really appreciate the ability to send clients to his showroom where they can select materials for floors, baths, kitchens, and exterior hardscape in one stop. Their system saves us a lot of time and makes us look good with our clients. In '14 we ordered a watercut floor package for a 10,000sf house that was on an 80' radius. Every row of tile needed a unique top and bottom radius and arc length. Happy to report that 68 unique tile IDs were delivered and installed without a hitch. Glad we get to work with these guys! Looking forward to more great projects. #grozaconstruction read more

We had shopped for kitchen countertops for well over a year when we discovered Carmel Stone in Sand City. We fell in the love with the beauty of their Porcelain Calacatta Michelangelo. Within 6 months of it being installed and us working in our kitchen we got 3 chips on the edges pf the countertops. We had no idea how they got there as we are pretty careful cooks in our kitchen. We contacted Carmel Stone to complain and they sent the owner Mr. Robinson out to our home. He said they have never had a single complaint on Porcelain and that we must have hit the counters with something very hard which was definitely not the case. He offered no help other than to call the fabricator to see if they could repair it in anyway. The fabricator who he called then told us he would never recommend using porcelain on counter tops as they are so easy to chip and crack. When we originally evaluated buying these porcelain countertops the sales person said this is the strongest material they sell even over quartz and granite which is why we decided to go along with it along with the fact it is just beautiful. We feel completely mislead and we would definitely not wish this on anyone else either remodeling a kitchen or building a new home like ours knowing what we know now. I will say that Mr. Robinson has absolutely no empathy or customer service skills. We found him to be complete dis-engaged and rude and we'll never do business with this company again. read more

Carmel stone and our tile setter put together 2 fabulous bathrooms on our project. Unique and beautiful material and high end installation and design. My clients are very happy. Thank you all read more

I had a small order on short notice and Megan was very helpful to ensure they could take care of my request. I went to three other tile and marble stores prior to visiting Carmel Stone Imports and all were unable to help within my time frame. The customer service at Carmel Stone Imports was just amazing. I'm definitely coming back to this store for any future tile and marble needs. read more

There with a friend AJ cursed at us, got angry for asking to correct placing of stone. Even put us in harms way and told us to put his a frames on the truck wich in my opinion is there job. 1000 bucks paid in advance. Also rushed us out and refused to complete the loading to our satisfaction and peace of mind. Will never go back and you shouldn't eighther. They won't respect your money there slogan (pay me and go!) p.s. Forgot to mention my buddy Steve was promised free delivery at time of purchase. They made him wait a week then they suddenly refused and denied the delivery one week after payment. Took a month before he was finally able to get it to his house to install himself. read more

I'm a designer that has worked on High end projects all over the country. Carmel, Santa Barbara, Park City, Sundance etc... I'm surprised at the last review because I have had nothing but great customer service. I use this company as my main stone source on all my projects and have always been extremely happy with every aspect, for at least 10 years. I have had to ship tile and slabs all over the country which can be challenging for the biggest of companies and have never had a problem. Quality is outstanding and prices are as more than competitive due to the fact they are the importer. I will continue to use Carmel Stone as my source read more

I have been doing business at Carmel Stone now for a little over a year. I had gone to several stone importers in the bay area including DaVinci Marble, Uni Marble to name a few. What brought me back to Carmel Stone in Sand City was Sal Lopez. His excellent customer service was the difference. He worked with me during difficult times with my contractor going way over budget, helping me find the right marble, tile and backsplash. He listened to what I wanted and helped me figure out options to fit within my budget. He works well with my fabricator and makes sure I am pleased with my final choice. The choices of tile and marble are very good and Sal goes out of his way if there is something I am interested in to find it for me if I need more then what is available in the store. Thank you Sal for all your help. read more
