I sent dimensions and a site image and was able to get a quote without a site visit. Our installer was very detail oriented and discovered our wall was not completely flush, which meant that the tile at the top of the wall would be a slightly different width than the one at the bottom. We discussed different strategies for approaching this problem. The zellige we received was also highly variable in quality and color. I asked our installer to pick out the tile in the best condition since we had ordered 10-20% extras and were very happy with the results.

Avoid for Large Projects - Poor Communication, Costly Mistakes, and Delays…read more 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.

I was having a hard time finding a carpet shop nearby that actually carried a good selection, so…read moreI'm really glad I found this spot run by Obaid and Habib! I worked directly with Obaid, who greeted us the moment we walked in. He was incredibly patient and helpful throughout the entire process, guiding us through different shades and types of wood and carpet, and giving thoughtful recommendations along the way. We did run into a small issue with the carpet, but Obaid communicated with us every step of the way and made sure we landed on a solution that worked perfectly for us. We purchased wood flooring for the main areas and carpet for the bedrooms, all comfortably within our budget. Very thankful to have worked with him. Looking forward to coming back for future home improvement projects!

We can't say enough good things about our experience with Aidan and his team. Aidan was professional, responsive, provided valuable suggestions and accommodating. Whenever you open walls there is always a high chance that you might need to repair certain things that you didn't plan or you might want to add to the scope of work. Every time something came up Aidan immediately reached out and made suggestions/explained if we needed to do something. The solutions did not end up costing us an arm and a leg. We also added to the scope of work several times and he was very accommodating. I've used GC's in the past who would be very difficult to work with and at times would cause more issues. I highly recommend using HB for any work you need on your home.

Overall, I had a positive experience with East Star Building Supply and would likely purchase from…read morethem again. Pros: Very competitive pricing--probably one of the most cost-effective places for cabinets and flooring in the Bay Area. Complimentary cabinet design service. Large selection of products, including cabinets, flooring, tiles, countertops, vanities, and hardware. The flooring selection is excellent. I've been very happy with the quality, and East Star is still my favorite flooring supplier. Cons: The tile selection is a bit less appealing compared to the rest of the showroom. Cabinet parts are not labeled, which made assembly more time-consuming for my contractor. The standard particleboard cabinets are a good value, but I noticed slight warping on a few cabinet doors that made perfect alignment difficult. The upgraded cabinet panels performed noticeably better. Since there is no onsite measurement service, a few field conditions weren't fully captured during the design process, resulting in some installation conflicts (such as gas pipe clearance and an oven/fire door swing conflict). If your project has a more complicated layout, I'd recommend having your contractor& architect carefully verify all dimensions before ordering. The showroom is quite popular, so appointments and order processing can take some time. Planning ahead is a good idea if you're on a tight renovation schedule. For context, I also purchased cabinets from another local supplier that was only slightly more expensive and included complimentary design, onsite measurements, and installation options. In my experience, the service and standard cabinet quality were slightly better there. That said, East Star still offers outstanding value, especially if you're managing your own renovation. I'd happily buy flooring from them again, and I would also consider purchasing cabinets from them in the future.

Very disappointed with the after-sale service. When we opened the package to install this…read morefreestanding bathroom vanity, we discovered that the side panel was already damaged/chipped, as shown in the photo. We brought it back to the store, but they refused to exchange. The warehouse staff claimed that the installer had opened the package and checked when picking it up. However, the package was only opened enough to verify that the correct item was inside--it was never fully unpacked or inspected for damage. There was no reasonable way to see this damage without actually opening the entire package. I understand that damage can happen during shipping or handling, but the customer should not be left responsible for damage that was not reasonably possible to discover at pickup. I would strongly recommend that other customers carefully inspect the entire item before accepting or taking it home, and be aware of the store's after-sale services. To be fair, the sales staff were helpful and professional. My complaint is specifically about the after-sale service and the warehouse staff refusal to take responsibility for a damaged product.

Ken from Glass 23 really saved my project.. After a bathroom remodel with full backsplash, we…read morediscovered that original shower doors no longer fit the new opening. Not only that, but the wall isn't perfectly level from top to bottom on the right. I called around looking for a company that can get me one side of a glass door. Most places (a) never return my phone call after they promised they would, or (b) gave me the run around by asking me to generate a diagram (!) before they would sell me one. Ken was the only one who was willing to work with me to get me what I needed. He asked me what my hinges look like so the glass door will be ready for install with the same hinges. Also asked me to measure the distance between the shower panel and the wall (wall wasn't plumb so it was different width). He then created me a diagram with the design to order me a replacement door with the information provided. There was no way I could've drew up a design like that those other places just wanted to get rid of me I guess. The custom shower door that came was even larger at top than at bottom just like my opening just how I measured it! Lastly, Ken was easy to get in contact with and extremely responsive. His turnaround time was 5 days which allowed me to proceed with my finishing my project. The door fit perfectly and impossible to tell that the opening isn't plumb. Trust me when I say I called everyone and some of the places wanted to charge many times more to procure a "custom" panel that Ken was able to procure for less. Recommend calling Glass 23 before you bother with other places. Most of those places do not want your business unless it's a full replacement and installation. I think Glass 23's full installation is also considerably less as well. Highly recommend Glass 23 and I would hire Ken if I ever need to replace a new custom shower doors.

There was a very small scratch I saw after the installers left but tbh I can't see it unless I open the blinds and the sun is reflecting into the bathroom. Does an excellent job keeping the steam in.
