    The crew had the most positive attitude and so it was a pleasure having them at my home. The result of their work was as close to perfection as anyone could expect from mortal human beings. So it's a solid 5 star rating from me. Thank you Mr Howe!

    Before: dated rust colored manufactured stone

    Since Matthew and his crew did an excellent job of installing the tile in our kitchen, we wanted to see if they could assist with white washing the stone on the exterior of our home. We needed to freshen up the look of the rust colored manufactured stone. Sure enough, Matthew's lovely wife, Flor, has the knowledge and experience to help us with our project. We are beyond pleased with how the stone turned out. Flor and Matthew were great to work with. They we flexible with timing and communication was great. Replacing stone can be expensive and time intensive. White washing stone can be a wonderful and cost efficient way to update the look of your home. We highly recommend Know Howe Tile. Attached is a before (dated rust colored manufactured stone) and after (white washed stone). #tileprojects #whitewashingstone

    Matthew and his team recently completed our new floors, baseboards, backsplash, and countertops. We couldn't be happier with the quality of their work, professionalism, cleanliness, and good attitude! Overall, a very pleasant experience, which is extremely rare with any type of renovation project nowadays. We're so glad we found out about them!

    Thanks Matt- your guys are amazing. You did a great job selecting them for your company. They are quite detailed, friendly, and professional. Wensces and Alex installed the thin brick on three surfaces and it turned out great! You will not go wrong if you go with these guys!

    Backsplash by Know Howe

    Only great things to say about Know Howe Tile and owner Matt Howe. Professional staff, quality craftsmanship, excellent customer service, competitive pricing are all adjectives that describe my experience. I was looking for a backsplash and a couple shower boxes to improve two bathrooms in my house. I contacted multiple tile contractors in the local San Diego area. Few took the time to come out and give an estimate, in particular, two other contractors didn't even attempt to work with me or give an estimate on the shower boxes I wanted installed. Know Howe tile was a complete 180° right from the start. The owner Matt personally came to my house for an estimate. He took the time to explain some of the difficulties and challenges with the envisioned job that I wanted to accomplish. However, he had a great attitude and a "Can do" approach which made it easy to come up with a plan on how to most effectively complete the job. His estimate was very reasonable and ended up being highly accurate once the job was completed. Matt and his team did a great job being flexible and working around my schedule, since I was doing a lot of traveling at the time of the job. Matt effectively juggled multiple jobs during the week of my install. He provided oversight to his team members at the appropriate integral moments throughout the job, while also depending on their experience and ability to work independently. Matt's team was super courteous, professional, and were extremely hard workers. Throughout the tile install they had great attention to detail and made sure to include me in any decisions when they had questions. The tile improvements came out great, and I get compliments all the time. I would definitely use Know Howe Tile again for future projects and I would highly recommend them to any friends or family.

    A++++ Absolutely…read morethe best hands down. Lowest Price Top Tier communication and service from start to finish. I interviewed 11 different contractors. Jose matched the lowest price (he was only about $500 over anyhow). He left it spotless. He moved things for me (something a lot of companies won't do) and put it all carefully back. HIGHLY RECOMMEND

    I had a fantastic experience with Jose and his team at Coastline flooring! Don't let the number of…read morereviews fool you, this company is top notch and truly a diamond in the rough! If I were to guess why there aren't a ton of reviews, I'd imagine it's because Jose is too humble and respectful to ask his clients to spend time writing a review. But I want the world to know of my amazing experience with Jose and his crew at Coastline Flooring! If you don't want to read my novel of a review, I will tell you quickly that Jose is honest, professional, knowledgable, and he gave me a very fair quote! The price I paid was an amazing value for the level of quality and customer service Jose and his team provided! From the first meeting to the very end Jose was professional, helpful, and honest. I had interviewed a few different contractors so I already had some idea of the type of sales tactics these other guys would use on me. Jose didn't do any of it, no B.S. no games, no upselling, just honest advice and great customer service. First of all, I had a leak coming from my neighbors wall so I had initially thought to put an epoxy coating on my concrete slab foundation. Jose pulled out his moisture reader and let me know it wouldn't be necessary but he could do the service if I wanted to. When it came to material I had already done some shopping at other flooring stores. I wanted luxury vinyl plank that was stone composite so that there was no risk of mold. Another flooring company had recommended Essen Flooring's Stone Powder Core (SPC) line Le Luxe, so I already had it in my mind. When Jose arrived at my house, he offered me that exact material right off the bat without me even mentioning it. He didn't spend time trying to upsell me or give me any fluff, he presented the best option right from the start, and I had not mentioned to him that I had done extensive research on the flooring and had already decided on that exact material. He had samples in his truck that he brought in and showed me. I originally had in mind that millenial grey colored luxury vinyl but I'm so glad he steered me into a more timeless look with a more natural looking wood color. He let me know that the Monte Cinto color was the most popular and he even had it in his own home. I was already convinced that I would move forward with Jose from our first interaction, but he only continued to impress me with his professionalism and helpfulness throughout the rest of my remodel process. When it came to scheduling, I was trying to manage some of the trades in my home remodel on my own so I couldn't give Jose a hard definitive date on when I'd be ready to begin floor demo and prep. Jose remained flexible and courteous throughout this time giving me a heads up when his availability was and also looking out for me in terms of ordering the material. He continued to give me updates on when he'd be booked and once my project started coming together I worked with him to lock down a date. There was also a bit of a mixup where my HVAC contractor had arrived earlier than stated and they were relocating my entire HVAC unit from ground level to my attic all the while Jose and his crew were demo'ing the floor. Jose continued to work cool as a cucumber even with 8 HVAC technicians running around dodging him and his teammate. Jose worked quickly and efficiently, even being courteous by working in sections as to not disrupt the HVAC guys. I truly appreciated his thoughtfulness here and calmness during the surprise. Once demo was done he made sure to do a walkthrough with me to ensure I was aware of next steps. Demo went very smooth! Another curveball came Jose's way as I was going to be replacing my interior doors and patio sliding door. The doors were significantly delayed so we would need to install the doors after floor were in. Jose was very thoughtful and had pre-cut the sections of baseboard where the doors would go but did not nail them in to allow for the door contractor to finish it when they were ready. He walked me through my options of how to handle the baseboards around the closet and gave some great advice on how to finish the baseboards along with the interior doors and closets. Jose I want to sincerely thank you and your team for your amazing work on my house! I appreciate you working with me through the unexpected surprises and curveballs thrown your way throughout my project. You were so professional throughout it all and I could tell you and your crew take pride in your work! Your integrity does not go unnoticed, you did several small things that I deeply appreciated and I'm super grateful that I got to work with you! Coastline flooring will be my go-to flooring company moving forward and I'll be recommending their services to all of my friends and family who are looking for a flooring company! Thank you so much Jose, Johnny, and Luis! I'm in love with the final result, keep up the great work!

Brock at the shop is very knowledgeable about all different flooring types; helping up choose our material and color and very generous checking out their samples. The flooring we chose was backordered (confirmed by another company we had a quote from) but Jason found a little extra supply and was able to hold it for us quickly which moved our renovation along faster than it otherwise would have! Our installer was Lester and he was great. Very nice, very skilled, and was glad to answer questions and ask us questions along the way that would affect our install. We installed the Opulux Grandeur laminate and love how it looks. Here's to hoping it holds up as well as the manufacturer says it will!

    GoEpoxy - Exceptional quality.....

    GOEPOXY - ALL THE WAY!…read more What is epoxy, you ask? Epoxy for garages is a durable, two-part resin coating--typically a mixture of resins and hardeners--applied over concrete floors to create a seamless, chemical-resistant, and high-gloss surface. It protects against oil stains, tire marks, and cracks while lasting up to 10-20 years. It is highly customizable with colors and, for added, strength, can be finished with decorative flakes. Key Features and Benefits are mainly: Durability: Resistant to heavy, impacts, and chemicals, making it ideal for high-traffic garage environments. Easy Maintenance: The smooth, non-porous surface makes cleaning oil spills, dust, and debris quick and simple. Protection: It seals concrete, preventing moisture infiltration, mold, and mildew. Aesthetics: Transforms dull concrete into a polished, bright, or decorative space. Whether you plan on storing or doing many things inside your garage. OR, if you are car enthusiasts (like we are) and want your garage kept bright, remain durable, and look esthetically clean, then getting epoxy done is the way to go. It also helps the valuation of your house increase ($$$$) as well, if you don't already know. And lastly, it makes the garage, a typically dingy place in general to look at, look more esthetically pleasing and welcoming. With that, we decided to partner with Daynan at GoEpoxy for this job. We thought of doing DIY. But if it only lasts about 2ish years, then what's the point? No way jose. We want long lasting, expertly done, in order to make our home look amazing. We gathered several quotes from other companies around the area, but GoEpoxy gave us the most competitive rate for our 2.5 tandem front/back garage. You won't even believe how much the other guys were pricing us at, only for them to do a 1 day rush job. No thank you. I leave this up to the OG, Daynan for this job. After our initial consultation on the phone, Daynan was amazing with keeping us informed of weather updates (wild rainstorm just passed over SD this week), delays, if any, and approximate arrival time. We kept in touch through phone call and text, which was very much appreciated. On the day of our service, he arrived promptly and already knew how to get started with the job. His knowledge and expertise lit up as he guided us on what his approach for completing the project is, how long it'll take, additional areas to cover, all the way up to how to re-engage the garage after the epoxy has completely cured and wanted our garage to auto open/close again. I cannot recommend him enough. As a matter of fact, he was recommended to us by someone from our builder, which again, goes to show the level of craftsmanship, expertise, and loyalty other companies have with GoEpoxy.

    I cannot recommend this company highly enough, and specifically Daynan, who handled our project. It…read moreis rare to find someone with this level of integrity and dedication to their craft. From the start, Daynan was transparent about the process, the pricing, and what would work best for our specific concrete condition. He didn't try to upsell us on things we didn't need; instead, he focused on ensuring the job was done right the first time. You can tell he truly cares about his reputation and the satisfaction of his customers. The garage floor itself is flawless the coating is even, durable, and looks like a professional showroom. If you want a company that combines high-end results with honest, reliable service, ask for Daynan. Five stars well-earned!

Now, after a lifetime of having wall-to-wall carpet throughout our homes, we decided to switch to a wood product flooring. The idea was a bit overwhelming, as we knew nothing about these types of floors. Kany to the rescue! He patiently walked us through the various options, price ranges, and pros and cons. When we settled on a product but were struggling to choose a color, he let us borrow a sample to see how it looked in our home. His knowledge and expertise were incredibly helpful, and he turned a potentially stressful experience into an adventure. The product arrived quickly, and the installers were wonderful. They arrived as scheduled, were careful with our furniture, and cleaned up thoroughly at the end of each day. They were extremely professional, clearly knowledgeable, and very efficient.
