I am highly disappointed with their selling practices here. First of all, I noticed that they do not display any price tags! You have to ask the person-in-charge whenever you want to know the price. From our experience, the pricing for the same design changed twice. On two different days, we asked the same person for the same design and got two different answers. This will not have happened if they display the price tag. On our second visit, there were two people here; one person was a huge guy who seems to be friendly and approachable. When we asked him about the pricing, he gave us a lower price and was even willing to provide us with a discount! The first guy was slim and tall; I don't think he should be doing customer service as he was snarky to my husband and me during our two visits. Although to be fair, I appreciate that he helped my husband carry the stones back to our car. The second thing I noticed was that they were not following the safety protocols set by the county for businesses. There were no reminders for people to stay six feet apart, and the business owners were not even wearing any face cover! I do felt that it was very disrespectful and careless of them. They do have an exit and entrance signage that we found helpful. I am leaving them a one star because of their pricing issues, lack of price tags, snarky customer service, and lack of respect for the county's health and safety protocol. The one star is for the friendly guy who was willing to give us a discount and for the vast selections of tiling options. read more

Absolutely amazing prices for their SPC flooring! We were looking for Vellichor specifically and it was about $0.50/sq ft cheaper than the other places we found in the area. Initially when we asked to borrow samples they said they don't do that, but after asking a lot more questions I think they saw we were serious buyers and let us borrow samples for a couple of days, for free, which we really appreciated. We ended up purchasing with them and we are very happy with the end product. The only thing to mention is that I did have to be proactive throughout the process to know what was happening. I had to call to find out when they got it, I had to call to schedule pickup, and then I played a bit of phone tag when it turned out that it was being delivered. That being said we wouldn't hesitate to buy here again with such amazing prices! read more

We are doing garden remodeling, and we purchased all of our material from Hera. Hakan helped us through our search from the beginning til the end. He was patient, and the most important thing, he did not try to trick us for money. I fell in love with ledger stone that costed $4 per sqft, but the material would not be in stock til the next 2 weeks. So the alternatives were between $6 and $5 price range. Turned out he checked the warehouse, took our measurement and found that they did have the material that we wanted. Scored some saving for us, plus we got the material that I wanted. That's why I wrote his service and his business 5 stars. I also looked at other store, but turned out it was more expensive than Hera. So we were satisfied with our purchase read more

Not the best customer service but they have some beautiful tile for a pretty good price! So I guess you can't beat it, so four stars. Not much of a showroom but they have huge selections. Like shopping at Costco. read more

Lots of variety to choose from. The ones that are in boxes are cheaper than the wall ones because those you have to order. Most of the tiles in the back room are from $4.5-$6.5. Not a bad price. Service isn't always there but they do give refunds and credit if you have a whole box unused. I love the tile we got for the fireplace it was cheaper by a ton compared to other stores. read more

Hera Tile & Stone - Building Supplies Near Me - San Jose, California

Again great product at the best price around. Confirmed by many designers, who were shopping during one of my many visits. I think they have great customer service and I had a young woman patiently help my husband and I pick out tile for three bathrooms. When I made a mistake they returned my product and helped me get the right stuff. I will only shop here! read more

Aside from all the one star reviews displayed make sure you check out the reviews under "not recommended" if you are still considering doing business with this place. Trust me it will save you time and money. This guy is trash and scammers never last. Remind me when this place goes out of business! read more

I really liked the selection of material here at Hera. You need to explore and go all the way back to the store. This is where I found my beautiful entryway tile and bath tile. I was very happy with the help I received. I don't like to be hovered over but I like to browse at my own pace. I ended up buying my wood flooring there too. Hakan is willing to work with your budget and the tile/floor quality is way better than any big box store and the prices are better. That's what you get when you deal directly with the owner. If your a nice person and treat people right it will be reciprocated here. I can't believe how nice everything turned out. read more

Pushy sales people. They use the "sense of urgency" or "limited stock" sales tactic to suck you in and spend money. I find it unprofessional and unethical but to those guys it doesn't matter. Go to Badrosians down the street way more friendly and professional. read more

Was redoing my two bathrooms and did lot of shopping for stones. This was the place where I could find the Travertine stone what I wanted. I bought about couple of hundred sq ft of Philadelphia blue travertine stone and they allowed me to hand pick the stones from the pallet and that helped me to get the best stones as possible. Turk and Hakan was very friendly and got a good price on the stones. When I shopped for the second bathroom, they even gave me a great discount on the stones. I did compare the price of the same stone at different showrooms and this was place as lowest on price... ... Great place where you can buy quality stones at a very reasonable price. -K read more

Hera Tile & Stone - Philadelphia Blue Travertine stone. HERA TILES, San Jose - Building Supplies Near Me - San Jose, California

I am building a home and purchased all of my hardwood, stone, bathroom tiles etc from Hera. The owner is super helpful and flexible. In the middle of putting up the stone, I changed my mind on the stone and Hera sent down the new stone with no headaches. And they have great prices along with solid products. Dont waste your time shopping around just go straight to Hera. read more

Ordered few tiles on Thursday. Owner said you can pick it up on Friday. I actually went on saturday, to my surprise the guy said it is not yet ready come back on Monday. Not a big deal. Just to be safe i called on Monday. The owner said it's ready i can pick it up from the warehouse next street. I said fine. Went to the warehouse next day, it's actually not a warehouse but another mosaic store. I asked them about order they said they never received one from Hera tile. And here is the BEST part, the tiles we ordered was discontinued 6 months ago. Wonderful. I went back to get my money back and he did return it (therefore he gets one star). However no apologies on what happened, no explanation on why he didn't place the order and no explanation on why he lied that the order was ready to pick up the previous day. Very rude behavior and didn't feel safe at that point, so just left. They have good collections of tiles but no customer service. If you're ordering at this place, make the payment only after you received the materials. read more

I don't recommend this place. Their customer service is really bad. We talked on phone about the price and came to the store to make a deal. But the seller is very rude and impatient, they even didn't give us the receipt and make the deal price so different than before. When we asked more question about the tile and delivery, they just teared the quote sheet, like crazy guys. I never saw seller like this. no patience, no honest. read more

I have done a lot of business in the home remodeling industry in the Bay Area, especially in San Jose and Hera Tile and Stone is my first pick for material shopping every time I am considering bringing clients, recommending a shop to friends, or buying for myself. First, I would like to point out the style of the showroom and their selling point is very similar to Costco. They are not here to sell you on a fancy showroom and markup their products accordingly. They are direct and to the point with the materials they offer which are the same quality as a high end brands which have high markups. Again similar to Costco, they might not have the prettiest showroom but they do have the best prices and majority of styles and materials you will find elsewhere in the Bay Area. Similar to Costco's loyal and happy customer base,over the past 5 years I have seen consistently happy customers always going to the Hera Tile and Stone and coming back with more clients after their first experience. This style of service may not be for everyone, and I recommend bringing your contractor or designer with you if you do not know much about picking out home remodeling materials. But I can Guarantee, and ask your Contractor/Designer what they say, and I bet you they will agree that the prices are the best if not matching your best offer and they have in stock more materials than most stores which means no waiting. Same day pickup for majority of the items they sell. I am not Guaranteeing they are perfect and have everything. But I am Guaranteeing that you will not regret stopping by and giving them a chance. P.S. Try and talk with Hakan if you can, he is sometimes Busy but he has helped me a lot with my projects and He is very honest which I find is rare in this industry. read more

I have giving poor reviews but coming to Hera was basically coming to a giant stone yard without anyone there to help. They only reason for getting 1 star is for the selection, they have a ton of beautiful stuff. I came in to look for tile and the guy IGNORED me completely. I tried to get his attention and nothing, so I figured I should just pick out a few samples that I liked and try to ask him at once how much each tile costs. I tried to get his attention multiple times and still nothing. I mean sure I was super casual without makeup on but come on! I'm here to shop for tile and assuming that I'll have to carry it all myself (I only needed 8 square feet so it was manageable) so I don't want to come in wearing nice clothes. After trying to get his attention for 15 mins I put it all back and walked out. Literally not a single word from him. read more

I have been to quite a few tile places to look for bathroom floor and shower tile. Hera has so many options and amazing displays. One of the owners Hakan helped me pick out and design our master bathroom and guest bath floor. He was extremely knowledgeable and made it all very easy. Also he has very good taste. Very nice man. I highly recommend this place read more

Arriving at Hera Tile & Stone I was elated. Finally a place that had the volume and variety of amazing options for my kitchen and bath updating. Through Hakan's suggestions I found an amazingly unique marble fish scales pattern through his partners and showrooms nearby and could stop the long search for the perfect backsplash. Hakan and his staff were all very helpful, professional and seasoned in their business, clearly with incredible experience and knowledge (and artistic taste, too)! read more

This company treated my clients with complete d isgrace. I would not recommend them to anyone. There opinions are not professional and contradict the contractors that send you there. The contractor asks for a certain size, they ask why, then they tell you your contractor does not know what there doing. Contractors have a license for a reason. When I questioned the sales man on simple things they should know about installation and asked if he would back it up with a signature, he said he wasn't even sure of what he said. Then when I told him he was un professional to say a licensed contractor did not know what he was doing and that my clients should get a second opinion, all he could say was, "Whatever, I dont need your business." These people make complete fools of themselves. I was ashamed to even walk my clients into such a store. I only gave them one star because there was no negative stars to mark. If you are to buy from this company make sure to check every tile to make sure of breakage. read more

I bought some flooring material from them thinking they are giving it at a very good price. After going there for for reducer and stair nose pieces I realized they randomly jack up prices. They sold few reducers for $50 a piece and after few days when I wanted some more pieces they increased it to $90. That is when I realized how bad they are. They have some flooring material marketed as "Monaco Ville Series" this is nothing but a brand name picked to fool you so that you don't find it elsewhere and they can command whatever price they want. This product is actually Genuine Hardwood Floors by Amazon Wood Floors. If you are planning to buy Amazon Wood Floors avoid Hera Tiles, go straight to Kapriz Hardwood Floors. They are 20% cheaper for the same material and they are a fixed price shop unlike Hera stone where they change the price based on who they are dealing with. read more

Great price, great service. We've purchased a lot of marble and other natural stone. The service has been very nice and helpful. Having comparison shopped at other places, Hera provides the best value For money and product! Thanks Hera tile for making our project a success. read more

Wow, reviews are all over the place for this shop. I was actually next door and wandered over here. I actually couldnt even tell if they were open to the public but they are. I am surprised by all the negative reviews. I went here three times because I am incredibly indecisive. I was helped by Ernesto and by the gal with a very pretty name, Javanna or Jasana or something like that. They were INCREDIBLY helpful and really knew what they were talking about. I am clueless on material, size, and what goes with what. They took their time and helped me put together an entire bathroom (floor, shower walls, base, accents, etc). Really took their time explaining the differences in material, what works best, and what would look great. Their suggestions on material and design came out better than I could have dreamed of. Their knowledge is valuable...you don't get that often where people actually have a clue what they are selling. Ernesto in particular was an expert. He also spent time explaining how and what to seal the travertine with. I looked into the products he suggested (which they don't even sell so he was genuinely being honest and helpful) and his suggestions were spot on. Pricing seemed great too. Quality of the material was superb. I suppose the only issue we ran into was they said the material would be ready for pickup within an hour but they didn't call until the next day. I'm sure if we actually needed it sooner they would have gotten it ready but we weren't in a rush anyways. I will definitely return here for the next stone/tile project. read more

Very disappointed with this company. They do not care about the customers. We've gone in to pick out material for some work we are having done in our backyard. Turk had told us that he would deliver us the material that supposedly wasn't in stock. Thursday comes around and nothing was delivered. We called them many times and they kept saying the next day the next day. That "next day" rolls along and Turk tells us his truck had broken down. My father sends someone out to personally pick up the material and they tell him there is no material in stock. Turk was extremely rude he started to take the situation as a joke. He refused to give us the money back until we went personally. He hid from us so we had to talk to Hakan. Also very rude. We do not recommend any one to come here. As a company you should care about your customers and have them walk out happy & not highly upset. read more

Hakan at Hera Tile was very helpful and we received great pricing. We ended up buying exterior stone, wood flooring, marble tile for the master bathroom and travertine for the laundry room/bath. We will be back to purchase stone for front yard. I have recommended Hera Tile to several friends now and they have also been happy. read more

The one and two stars reviews are mainly from browsers that think they are the center of the universe and need someone to give them attention every second of the day. I get my floors and tile from the for years, the selection and quality is superior, this place means business. Come shop and get out, this is no IKEA so don't expect the coziness. And one last thing, this is a place to bargain so don't think you're getting screwed of your price is higher than your friend. read more

I have purchased travertine and onyx tiles from Hera Tile and Stone for 2 bathrooms, one in my old home and one in-progress in my new home. When I first arrived at Hera almost 2 years ago, I was unsure of which tiles and patterns to use. Turk, one of their sales guys, gave me some great ideas. I bought the tile and did the bathroom. We liked the look so much, we're using essentially the same tile for the new bathroom. When I came back with my original receipt, nearly 2 years old, Turk gave me almost the same deal (only 50 cents more per sq. ft.). Hera tile and stone is a no-nonsense place. When it gets busy, it can be hard to get the help you need. It not like going to a building materials store in Palo Alto or Los Gatos. But, you won't pay PA or LG prices, either. If you want nice stone at a great price with solid advice on color schemes and layout, Hera Tile and Stone is your place. It's even better if you know exactly what you want. I would always check here first before looking elsewhere for stone, and purchase what you see on the lot. That way, you know exactly the color, look, feel, and quality of what you're getting. All-in-all, I've had 2 very positive experiences with Hera Tile and Stone. Thanks for setting me up, Turk, I'll be back! read more

The best tile store in San Jose. They have nice looking porcelain tiles in stock and their prices are amazing! Their natural stone selection is incredible and everything was in stock which made my remodeling process went smoothly when my contractor ran short and I did not have to wait when I need it. I did a kitchen and bath remodel and was helped by Hakan. He was especially helpful in giving me options and what I could do--great customer service. If u are looking for procelain or natural stone materials, this place is worth coming. You will not be disappointed. read more

The best natural stone supplier in all the Bay Area I love them. They have our business for life. Greatest selections and best prices. No one compares. Thanks Turk and Hakan read more

I went shopping for marble tiles on Sunday in San Jose didn't know most of the stores closed in the area, but found this one open. They have a good collection. The actual stones are in front so you can check the actual quality before buying. The prices is good (there are no price tags do haggle). Like most stores in the area, no return but they can loan you samples. The store staff is friendly and flexible. I didn't check Yelp reviews before buying so was worried a bit the next day after I saw some bad reviews, but everything turned out OK. read more

This store has THE BEST selection of stone!! The owner(Turk) took the time to show me everything and helped me pick out what worked best for our project. The quality of the stone (travatine) was beautiful and made my bathroom look like a showroom. It was so nice we went back for ledger stone for our wet bar. We are also getting marble for my grandmother's house. Thank you Turk!!! You are amazing and I appreciate all of your help. read more

Very poor customer service. We went there to look for tiles and stones for our yard remodel. The guys who asked if we needed help, were always running to another part of the store every time we needed to get answers. It became impossible to have a conversation with them for even a couple of minutes.. They were rude and had no stock of the patterns we liked. When we asked if they would place an order for it, they refused. They gave us one quote in the morning and the same tiles were priced a dollar per sq ft higher by the afternoon, when we went to look at the tile colors again, just to be sure. If I could rate it 0, I would. read more

We visited Hera Tile & Stone for shopping Travertine floor tile as well as mosaic for our accent wall. For lack of better term, their customer service plain sucks. They have a good collection of tiles, but their interaction with customers leaves a lot to be desired. There were a couple of guys sitting occasionally behind the reception area, but no one was courteous enough to ask anyone if they needed any help, or had any questions. When we asked questions regarding various mosaics for the accent wall, they seemed quite impatient in responding. I was willing to splurge a fair bit as we were in the middle of our renovation, but with this lackluster attitude shown by Hera Tile & Stone i'll just take my business someplace else. We finally ended up shopping at Tez down the street for some quality tiles and were pleasantly surprised with great customer service. Hera Tile & Stone, it's time to stop treating your customers with disdain and take a cue from Yelp reviews for once. read more

I wish I saw the negative reviews before. I only bought small quanity of travertine tiles for kitchen backsplash, so it's not a lot of money. Now that we are opening all the boxes I see that most of the tiles are either broken or not smooth. I know it's a natural stone but why in home depot and lowes they are much smoother? This seems like second or third grade quality. I'll probably end up going to HD to buy some more tiles. I'm glad i didn't purchase a floor tiles from them. the price was dirt cheap and I just stumbled on them. Be careful when you buy from them, check everything that you're getting, they will replace it on the spot but once you leave the place that's it, no refunds. read more

I should have read the negative reviews, as I experienced the same kind of awful behavior from this company. I was working with Ernesto, who seems to be a good guy, but unfortunately decisions are made by his boss who is not only disrespectful and pushy, but also dishonest. I was going to buy 3,000 sqft of travertine for both my front and back patios, and I planned to do it in 2 stages. I ended up buying 1,600 sqft first and when the first batch was delivered I found a lot of broken pieces. As I was completing my first project, I ran out of some pieces so when I called Ernesto to buy them he started pushing me to buy a lot more saying that someone else was interested in those tiles. In order for them to sell me those additional pieces he needed "an incentive". I didn't like that as I was already planning to buy that plus more, but I don't like to be blackmailed. After not returning my calls or emails multiple times, I was able to get hold of Ernesto. His boss, Turk, grabbed the phone and said that the only way he could get me the additional pieces (400 sqft) was to buy an additional 2,000 sqft. These guys are not only dishonest, but also disrespectful. I'll end up buying everything else at another supplier, as I don't want to deal with this company ever again. STAY AWAY FROM THIS PLACE! Don't do business with these guys. Believe me, you will thank me and the other reviewers if you avoid this place at all cost. Don't get fooled by their prices as they'll end up taking your money (and your time) one way or the other. read more
