Looking to get 500 sq ft of floor tile in a newly built unit, I queried Qualcomm's 1000-strong…read more'remodeling' discussion list. Steve was recommended by several Qualcommers so I put him on my "call" list. Of the 10 tilers I called Steve was the only one to provide a written estimate for the job. He also handled all materials purchases (tile, cement, grout, underlayment.) And he suggested using a new underlayment material (Ditra by Schluter, a plastic roll-down matrix that gets filled with cement) that saved both time and weight of materials. Steve stayed in close contact throughout the job which took about a week. He smoothly handled a problem with the materials (several boxes of tile were too large by almost 1/4" and had to be replaced.) The results: an excellent tile floor in our new unit, and a firm (Straughn Construction) that I will happily recommend to anyone.

5 full stars! This business is why Yelp exists, people! We were interested in refreshing our…read morefireplace in our modern home and had always dreamed of having a black marble fireplace instead of just white drywall. I Yelped and found Del Mar Tile and Stone and checked out photos and crossreferenced everything. He had stellar reviews everywhere. John the owner came out within a day or two (on a Sunday!) to look at the project and gave me a quote the next day. The project involved tiling on the fireplace surround and also into a cutout for our TV and the vent for the fireplace above. The quote was fair for the amount of work involved and I thought, hey if he's already there maybe get him to re-do tile in one of our bathrooms (a much smaller project)? I texted him a video and measurements of the space prior to him working on the space and he was able to quote the bathroom without coming back! Super cool. The quality of work is amazing. I am a detail-oriented, visual person and with the beautiful black marble with white veining that we chose (with a fluted pattern!) I wanted to be particular with what tiles we should use and which we should not. He was more than accommodating and we have a beautiful, beautiful fireplace now and a gorgeous bathroom. Not everybody could do this job. It was technical as a fireplace surround. The tile contractor had to use the right mortar and he had to level it out just right. As we homeowners know, rarely is your house completely true and flat and square everywhere and the tile had to be done to accommodate all of the imperfections in our visually perfect house. The corners and leveling had to be perfect. He had to carve into drywall to make the corner of the fireplace square. It was crazy and it would have taken me decades of experience to do this myself (enter John). The cutouts for the fireplace and the TV surround had to be perfect. The bathroom turned out flawless as well. John is an awesome person and was so kind and courteous to our pets (he told my dog Thatcher she was beautiful) and was respectful of other contractors we were having at the house at the same time. His son Hunter and his other employee Carlos who worked with him were conscientious, clean, and all three were just all around good people. Please see photos! They do not do the fireplace justice!

He also did a few touch ups under the cabinets. I'm so glad I picked Luzaj Tiles out of the 3 companies I was looking at. I definitely would recommend them!

From the first conversation to the final touches, the team moved fast and stayed organized. They showed up when they said they would. They worked efficiently. The craftsmanship shows in every detail.

We redesigned our whole living room and office area and it was a big remodel project. As with any construction team, communication is the key ingredient for a quality finished product. Solomon was always responsive to our calls, texts, and visited the site regularly. If we asked for him to come on site to resolve an issue - he was there for us. While it did take longer to complete than estimated, the budget was spot on. Again, it is beautifully done, and we highly recommend using Solomon and his team for any remodel you may have planned.

Solomon and his team were very transparent every step of the process. It started with the quote, where Solomon will actually breakdown every part of the work that needs to be done. We've done a few projects around the house, and I hated how contractors just threw out numbers and you didn't know what exactly they're charging you for. Next was the Demo - the crew showed up on time, done in a day, and they were professional every step of the way. Tarp, protected the furniture, carpet, and hardwood floors. Build - the lead was Hailey, and he was, by far, THE BEST. He'd listen to our concerns on how we wanted everything to look, and he was so patient with us when we changed our mind on tile, color of the grout, etc. Touch up - not only did Hailey come, but Solomon continued to visit the worksite to make sure everything was progressing according to plan. The project started and ended on time. Unheard of when you have remodel projects around the house. We loved the work Solomon Moss Tiling did, and the craftsmanship of Hailey and the entire team. Can't recommend them enough. Pictures are of before and after.

From…read morestart to finish, he was prompt, courteous, and meticulous -- always keeping his work area exceptionally clean. His quote was very fair compared to other licensed tile contractors, especially in a market full of fly‑by‑night operators. I wasn't looking to negotiate price, but I did ask for a few concessions, and he was completely reasonable and accommodating. He was also fair with the extras I added after the job began, which is rare in this industry. The quality of his workmanship is the best I've seen in California -- and that's coming from someone who grew up around masons and tile experts on the East Coast. His precision, layout planning, and attention to detail are truly top‑tier. On top of that, I was in a tight situation with my mother moving in and needed the project completed quickly. Shawn stepped up without hesitation, working weekends and extra hours during the week to finish ahead of schedule. The entire bathroom was completed just 12 days after demolition started. I highly recommend Shawn. If you want craftsmanship, professionalism, and integrity, he's the one to hire.
