Quality, service and COMMUNICATION! First off their communication was amazing. Their pricing is competitive and their works quality is awesome! One stop shop. Installed the sink, faucet and plumbing. Quick and efficient. Demo and templates one day, install one day. Would absolutely recommend them and when we remodel our downstairs bathroom they will absolutely be the first company I call. read more

Avoid for Large Projects - Poor Communication, Costly Mistakes, and Delays I would not hire R&A Stone and Tile unless you are a contractor yourself and can monitor the job 24/7. They may be fine for small tiling jobs, or a cheap kitchen flip that you don't care about the quality but anything beyond that is a mistake. Project Experience: -Disorganized & Poor Communication: Ruben, the contractor, constantly miscommunicated with his crew, leading to errors and wasted time. The crew speaks limited English, and Ruben failed to properly relay instructions. -Constant Rescheduling & Delays: The project was plagued with intentional delays because they were trying to juggle randoms crew members to the job site. They do not have a dedicated crew. To keep the job moving, I had to step in and install my stove hood myself. Quality of Work: -Minimal Supervision & Costly Mistakes: Ruben was only on-site for 30 minutes to an hour a day. The crew made frequent errors, wasted materials, and ultimately cost me an extra $5,000 in materials. Unprofessional Workmanship: -A crew member (Adrian) improperly used self-leveling, causing mortar to seep through walls and doors. -The same worker almost set my kitchen on fire due to incorrect wiring. -A junior crew member (Manuel) threw away new materials, further increasing costs. -My husband and I had to redo the wall texture they applied because it was done so poorly. -The countertop was improperly installed (by Victor), leading to a post-installation crack. The contractor promised to fix it but was a no-show, wasting an entire day of our time. -The dishwasher was incorrectly installed (Ricardo), requiring my husband to take a day off to reinstall it. Material Pricing & Usage: The contractor ordered materials on my behalf, but the pricing changed and was increased without transparency. The crew also took materials I paid for to use on other job sites. Also on two occasions, we had to order more tiles at 3x the cost because all the measurements were incorrect. Other Issues: -The crew trashed and clogged our bathroom toilet. They denied responsibility until I installed a camera--only then did the issue stop. -Never reimbursed or refunded for damages and extra expenses. Final Verdict: Ruben is a nice guy and means well, but his company is not equipped for big jobs (over $10K). If you have a small bathroom tile job, they might be fine, but anything beyond that--find a better contractor. We rushed to finish the project just to be done with them, and in hindsight, we should have hired someone else from the start. Do not make the same mistake we did. 2/5 - Would not recommend for major home renovations. Recommend for small jobs only. read more

Ruben and his team did a fantastic job removing 30 year old glued down hardwood in my family room then completing the tile work. I believe the whole project was about 7 days, mind you this was done during some really raining days, I think it could have been completed quicker if it was not raining however we were not in a rush, we did not want to rush the great work that Ruben and his team did. Trust me when I say removing the glued down hardwood was no easy task. It took myself about 2 hours just to complete a 4' by 2' section when we remodeled our kitchen. No floor scrapping machine was used, this was all done by chisels and hammers. Well there was use of a hammer drill but not the big industrial machines. It turned out great, Ruben also addressed some concrete cracks that we had just to make sure that he had a good foundation to lay the tile. Regarding cost, Ruben was not the most expensive nor the cheapest, his quote was right in the sweet spot. Also we went with our gut because you could tell that he knew what he was talking about and what needed to be accomplished. Hats off to his team, very knowledgeable group and we depended on them to complete our home. We supplied the tile and grout, Ruben provided the rest however my wife is always the best host and she provided lunches to the team on most days. Ruben's team went above and beyond for us, we can thank Ruben and his team enough. In the future when more needs come up, we will definitely have Ruben and his team work for us again. Thank you R & A Stone and Tile!!! read more

Ruben is superb friendly, transparent and one of the best contractors i worked with. He was very flexible with my timelines and gave me multiple quote options without getting frustrated. He was also able to redirect the price to meet my needs. Highly recommend. I will update here regarding quality of workmanship once job is done read more

STOP YOUR SEARCH! Seriously. I talked with dozens of contractors for my tricky project and many wouldn't even touch it (said it was too hard or they'd encourage me to demo more of my kitchen). Ruben executed the project perfectly, gave an extremely competitive price (note: I shopped for quality over $$ but these guys happen to also come in at a great price), and was wonderful to work with. I can't recommend these guys enough. Trust Ruben and Ricardo and they'll take care of you. Plus they have a great relationship with stoneyards and can help you out there as well. read more

Our bathroom looks beautiful. Inmer did most of the work and he was a good worker and was very detail oriented. We removed a wall and two soffits. After the removal, there were pipes that had to he removed and relocated . It turned out really nice and the cost was reasonable to do the extra work. I would use them again, however, next time I would inspect all materials before they were installed. Our countertop has a couple of small chips that we did not notice when we bought it. Ruben said it could be fixed but no one ever came to look at it. They are small so we will just live with them. read more

Ruben and his team helped us replace our old hardwood floors (the gnarly ones from the 80s, not the pretty ones) with tile in a kitchen and bathroom. He also replaced our wood countertops with quartz and did a tile backsplash. What a pro! Ruben is an outstanding communicator. He responds promptly and communicated proactively with us at every step of the way during the project. The price he quoted us at was very fair, and there were no surprises along the way (we added a couple things, and the price he charged us for the add-ons was reasonable). He started when he said he would, and finished a few days earlier than projected! His team's work looks AWESOME. We're so happy with our new kitchen and couldn't recommend Ruben more highly! read more

Ruben and his team were very professional, on time and extremely quick! Ruben originally told us our kitchen and bathroom countertop replacement would take 3-4 days but his team efficiently finished in 2 days! Our countertops and sinks look beautiful! Ruben made the whole process very easy and his rates were very competitive. I would definitely recommend hiring R&A stone and tile. read more

We had a great experience with Rubin and his team for our outdoor kitchen, the granite we used had a flame finish which isn't the easiest material/finish to work with especially when you are requesting mitered edges. Our project was quite complex with backsplash, mitered edges and difficult corner pieces but it turned out great. In my opinion working with stone is more art than science and Rubin is a true artist, he is meticulous and very proud of his work and rightly so. Rubin gave me some great ideas to make my project better than I had planned, no other fabricator did that. He was also very economical with the slabs which saved me a lot in material cost, most of the fabricators I contacted said they needed 4 slabs, Rubin completed the job with 2. I got 6 quotes and Rubin was competitively priced, great to work with and very honest about the process and any shortcomings ahead of time. Rubin is a pleasure to work with, he's a funny guy, I was sad to see him finish the job. It is always a little hit and miss when you hire a contractor but Rubin is one of the good guys, I was very particular with my job and he delivered. Highly Recommend 10 stars!! Thank You Rubin Sandwich!!!! read more

This is a great team at a fair price doing amazing work. I was concerned Ruben was not doing the work himself and he said his guy is a master tiler, I trusted him and was not disappointed. They followed directions, were very detail oriented and got me an amazing finished product. I don't need to go on in the comments and will just let the photos speak for itself. Bathroom 1 : with tub and intricate detailing around window Bathroom 2 : fully tiled shower, perfect precision. read more

I found Ruben when shopping for some Granite/Quartz Kitchen Countertops. He came out and looked at the project and gave a fair price.

Kitchen & Bath remodel for our home. Ruben responded right away to our request for a quote - stopped by our house to give us a more accurate, really competitive quote. He also suggested locations to go purchase our quartz countertop, which was a big help because the locations we had visited before did not have what we wanted. Ruben's team did a great job on our kitchen countertops / waterfall edge. We had some crooked walls - they were able to shape the countertops to fill in those gaps. The Bathroom vanity countertop came out great as well. Great value all around. read more

I had Ruben and his crew remodel three bathrooms and a kitchen in May/June of 2023. Ruben was great about sticking to the timeline he promised, and overall did a quality job at a reasonable price. I'm writing this review 6 months later since you never know how the construction will hold up after use. But it's been great and any Ruben was very responsive in addressing the couple of minor issues I had. Highly recommended. read more

We had a great experience with Rubén and his team! They demo'ed our granite countertops and backsplash and replaced with quartz and tile. Rubén was responsive and comprehensive in the quote process, and he came to see the job in person. His rates were very fair, but we also felt confident he and his team were qualified to do a great job. He stopped by our house throughout the work, and his team was great. They kept the project moving and cleaned up each day! And we love the results, beautiful! (We'll be doing the cabinets/floor later.) Take a look at the pics! Thank you Rubén!! read more

Ruben at R&A Stone & Tile did an Excellent Job - Quartz Countertops, Stainless Steel 1 Piece Sink, and Stainless Steel Faucet. I wasn't in the area and I needed someone I can trust. I found him on Thumbtack and his reviews were excellent. He responded within 20 min. He communicated very consistently and was great at follow-through! I picked everything from a distance (phone, email, online) and he was very patient and helpful with my undecisiveness. The final product / color was very pretty. His quotes seemed reasonable and included everything. He completed the work with no challenges within 1 week of first contacting him from a distance. It was a small job, yet he took it on, no problem! I'm very impressed with his work, professionalism, and communication. I would definitely utilize him again, if I needed too. The whole experience was easy and he was great! read more

Ruben and his team did a great job on our bathroom remodel! We had a leak and ended up basically gutting our whole master bathroom, new shower with a new pony wall, new tub, tile, vanities, etc. Ruben's team did a great job at a fair price and finished on time. They were also careful of our home, laying down plastic to keep it clean, etc. Ruben's fabricator did a wonderful job with the quartzite slab we picked out and Ruben had lots of ideas how to make sure we used the whole thing. His experience means he can translate my general requests ("a pony wall, about this high, with a bench and a niche") into a beautiful reality. Would absolutely use R & A Stone and TIle again, in fact we're considering what our next remodeling project should be because they were so easy to work with. read more

Ruben and his team are fantastic! We hired them to demo and fix our downstairs guest bathroom, tile over an outdated fireplace, replace our front door entryway tile and regrout our upstairs guest bathroom. His team asked if we wanted countertops for our downstairs kitchenette and gave us a very fair price for it. So he really helped turn our downstairs kitchenette and shower area look put together! It makes me want to remodel our upstairs bathrooms now because our downstairs shower is the nicest one in our house! He and his team work fast and do really, really great work! The fireplace tile stands out when you walk into the dining room. So happy with the final products. read more

I have been in search of a stone countertop fabricator for my kitchen remodel. Unfortunately I've been stood up twice from R&A. The first time, the guy pretty much forgot our scheduled appointment, and the 2nd time which we rescheduled for the very next morning, he texted me last minute saying he had an emergency. He really made no attempt to schedule again. A definite thumbs down for one who cannot be responsible enough to follow through. read more

I recently had my kitchen remodeled and hired R&A stone to install my countertops. The work was amazing we are talking about over 20years of experience and it shows. I have a top zero sink that only allows a 1/16" off on the cut there is very little play with the install on this sink and Ruben knocked it out the park. His prices are fair and after receiving multiple quotes you definitely going the best quality of work for your dollar read more

Ruben is a friendly and responsive guy. He recommended various places for us to go for our stone. We were looking for a specific porcelain to match the existing countertops. His quote was very reasonable, and I would definitely recommend him for stonework. read more

Ruben keeps it movin'! As you'll see from the "before" pictures, it was time for a kitchen remodel. I got quotes from 3 businesses and R&A was not the cheapest... but Ruben's knowledge and energy convinced my to go with their company. First, he shows up on time (when he says 8 am he means 8 am... not 8:01), completed the work quickly and professionally, and is honest and fair. We had a little scope creep when we changed out minds on some minor items and Ruben either just took care of it or charged a small fee to cover his or his workers time. Contractors do not always do that... believe me. This guy and his team work hard! First time I've worked with a contractor who was in a bigger hurry to complete the job than I was . Yellow cabinets are "before" shots and white are "after" shots. The results are fantastic! read more

Ruben and his team are awesome. I was really impressed with his responsiveness. The best part is his pricing is fair. Ruben and his team have expertise to do tile and other finishing work as well. They installed my farmhouse sink and that also came out amazing. He got my projects done timely and I absolutely love the way my kitchen and shower came out! I highly recommend R&A and will be using them in the near future for more work. read more

Can't give enough thanks to Ruben and his crew for the work they did in my kitchen and deck. After a botched job from another contractor, they came in and knocked it out of the park. It was short notice and it put stress on his crew, but they delivered. Excellent tile and stone work from his team has our kitchen looking outstanding.

Ruben and David did an amazing job on the installation of our bathroom countertops. Ruben was always up front with us on everything and very communicative. There was a slight hiccup with the plumbing as we had a leak we didn't even realize was there. David realized it, though, and the parts he needed had to be ordered and the install done another day. But as soon as they were able, Ruben rescheduled and David came to finish the job. He was very careful with everything and even did touch up paint for us. The end result looks amazing and we would highly recommend them. read more

I want to start out by saying that Ruben and his team provided the absolute best service for my kitchen remodel. From the first time I messaged on Yelp, Ruben got back to me within the hour to schedule an in-person meeting to go over what I wanted and what the best way would be to go about doing it. This being my first remodel, he was extremely helpful in guiding me through the process and keeping my mind at ease, as well as providing his opinion when I was unsure what would look best. Living in an HOA, there were certain rules that had to be followed and Ruben was great at being patient and following the process. He and his team were ready to work every day, and got the job done quickly but with a phenomenal end product. They did my backsplash, countertop cutting and install, flooring install, and plumbing. Would definitely recommend for any remodeling/tiling projects! He did absolutely beautiful work, and even helped to install all of my appliances. read more
