Romero is the bomb. He was meticulous and precise. Cleaned his work area and showed up on time. Definitely recommend

Romero was punctual and great at communicating through out his service. Very knowledgeable about stone and tile work. Fair price and quality work product. Does not juggle numerous jobs. Stays focused on your project to completion. Honest fair and straight forward. His helper Francisco was respectful and mindful to keep the project clean. read more

They spent a few days discussing our project and finally quoted us a relatively high number in comparison to competitors. Then they said we are 2 weeks out for their next availability. Since the quote was high, after a day of comparing other quotes, I responded and asked them if materials were including in the quote. And they responded we are busy for 5 months now. Ridiculous customer service. read more

Ramiro is a true craftsman. His shower layout ideas ended up really adding the "wow" factor to the master & guest bathrooms which he completely remodeled. He kept the work areas very clean and his tile work is perfect! I would highly recommend him for future projects! read more

What a 5 star worthy company! Ramiro went above and beyond our expectations while installing our kitchen backsplash! I originally chose a natural stone backsplash from Home Depot & mentioned to Ramiro that I wanted a clean/simple look. After starting the project and installing a few square feet of tiling- Ramiro went out of his way to stop and make sure I liked the look of the tile. He thought, given what I said about clean/simple, that the tiling was not going to reach my expectations. He was totally right! I was not happy with the natural stone at all- and he suggested several other tile ideas. He then proceeded to rip out the work he already did at no extra cost and agreed to come back the next day after I had time to shop around for some new tile. I'm so thankful that he (in addition to GREAT craftsmanship) has an eye for design and what looks good. He had a great attitude the whole time, and never seemed to be inconvenienced by my mistake. He said his main thing is for me to love the finished product. I highly recommend Ramiro for his craftsmanship, customer service and honesty! read more

I am a recently a mom with a newborn and have a challenging schedule, but really felt compelled to write up a review for San Juan Tile & Stone Renovations since they did such a great job. We contracted Ramiro for our tile installation of our kitchen backsplash. I found him through Houzz.com. Even though he did not have any reviews I was drawn to what I saw on his website. From the pictures of his past jobs he seemed experienced in installing varying styles of tile, especially in regards to more involved designs instead of the standard vanilla "all same type" installation. From our first meeting Ramiro made us feel confident he knew what he was talking about. My husband and I had several ideas and wanted to use 3D effect travertine tile of different types (I will post pics to clarify), but after speaking to him on our initial visit he openly discussed whether our options would work or not. This was actually one of the significant things I was looking for in an installer because I didn't want someone who was just going to install whatever we wanted, but someone who could actually explain the logistics of whether what we were thinking would actually be feasible. He was really great at clarifying and simplifying our choices with his advice because he actually listened to what we were envisioning. He was very quick to consult with me while he was in the process of the installation to spot check with me on whether I was happy with how it was turning out or to show me how he was going to place our accent tiles in the overall field tile. He was very exacting and I appreciated his soliciting feedback to make sure we were seeing and getting what we wanted as the work progressed. Second, we had way one too many electrical outlets (like 8 what was the original builder thinking?!?!) and wanted to have someone terminate and seal them off to clean up the viewable backsplash area and reduce them down to 3 outlets. Ramiro was able to handle and do the work. It was actually great to know he could do more than just tile and we wouldn't have to hire a separate contractor. He actually does whole remodels and can be consulted for any other aspects of your job that you might need done. Then there was the fact that we actually asked him to start the work the Friday before Christmas! We had wanted to get this tile installation done at the beginning of the December month and had originally contacted Ramiro early on 12/2, but I went into labor and had the baby and of course everything got delayed! He was actually willing to work and finish everything before Christmas and we were grateful since most contractors were completely unavailable. Just his willingness to work with us on schedule was a huge bonus. My husband wanted this installation done before the end of the year and Ramiro totally came through. Last but no least we actually found his bid to be reasonable. We had a competing bid that was higher and they wouldn't and couldn't do the electrical work we needed. It was great to deal with just one person for everything to get the job done asap. All in all I usually don't have as much time to write reviews anymore but really felt San Juan Tile was exceptional in delivering quality work in a timely manner at a reasonable price. I am really glad we found Ramiro and will definitely be using him for any future jobs! read more

Ramiro did a fantastic job in gutting a much needed renovation completed on a master bathroom tub and shower. His estimate for the work to be completed was very reasonable but most importantly the hard work he put in on getting the job completed did not go unnoticed. He worked many hours and was great in communicating the process as she completed each step of the remodel. Ramiro put much effort in ensuring the work area was always protected and cleaned up after each working day. Ramiro was always helpful in making suggestions to improve the overall design idea. The bathroom looks beautiful and recommend Ramiro for your next project. read more

Ramiro did an amazing job on my place. I was doing a major remodel on my condo. In several cases I've noticed that someone comes out and gives you an estimate. You feel confident in them, and then they send out the "D-Team", who does a bad job. After my bathroom was torn out, I told my electrician I wish I could have the shower without a dam around it. My electrician said he knew someone who could do this. I told him that I've been to hotels where the water goes everywhere. He said Ramiro had a lot of experience doing this. Sure enough, Ramiro did an excellent job, not just on this, but everything else. After seeing the results, my designer confirmed with me that he was doing a great job. She even had him work on other jobs. Ramiro not only did a very professional job with a great amount of attention to detail, my designer and I frequently consulted with him on his thoughts and ideas on what we could do on the next project. He had a lot of great ideas and solutions. He ended up also installing tile, bathroom vanity, the kitchen cupboards, and the kitchen counters, among many other things. I am so excited! My place is like a first-class resort! read more

Excellent work. Extremely professional. Ramiro took his time to do the job right. The cuts were clean (glass tile) and the installation is all perfectly level. He covered the entire work area and floor and even took off his shoes when he came to look at some other areas in the house we're considering having some tile work done in. He definitely knows his stuff and takes a ton of pride in his work. The price was very fair as well. We're nearly done with a complete gut and remodel job and have had a lot of people working in our house in the past year. Ramiro is one of two that I'd recommend without hesitation. read more

NO CALL, NO SHOW This company sounded great by the other reviews so I called and booked an estimate with Ramiro. I was so excited he was willing to come out the next day early morning to accommodate our schedule. Unfortunately he didn't show. I felt compelled to call and find out why several hours later. He answered and explained he had been stuck on a job site nearby and could come by later. I asked him if I mistook our appointment time and he said no. Just that he got busy. That was it! Moving on read more

This is probably the best installer and owner / operator I've encountered. Ramiro has a true passion for his "art" and it clearly shows in his attention to detail. He notices and corrects things you don't even think of and has a real eye for design. He literally saved the day with my cabinet colors when another contractor was pushing in another direction. Appreciated him being a true partner in my bathroom remodel. His prices are reasonable and competitive. Rare you find such professional! read more

Ramiro was amazing to work with! He was prompt to respond and followed up with all of my communication in a very timely manner. He was a true professional and really knew what he was doing. I had an idea in mind for what I wanted to do for my kitchen backsplash, but Ramiro honed it and I'm so obsessed with the outcome! If you're looking for someone who is personable, knows his stuff, hard working, and a real perfectionist, reach out to Ramiro. You won't be disappointed. read more

Ramiro was an absolute pleasure to work with! He tiled an accent wall in our powder bathroom and it is beautiful. He was very professional, clean, and honest. He also helped to install our mirror and sink cabinet. He also gave us design tips/insights and completed the job on time as promised. We would refer him to any friend in need of renovation work! read more

Ramiro with San Juan Renovations came to the rescue after working with a non-competent designer/contractor on our master bathroom and guest bathroom. We got extremely lucky with Ramiro along with his apprentice Valentino! Ramiro is dependable, incredibly efficient and quick to work yet he paid attention to every detail. He has an excellent eye for design, color and context. We also appreciated that Ramiro does all the work (demo, tile, paint, plumbing, electricity, etc.) There is no need to have unknown sub-contractors coming into your home. Unusual in this trade, Ramiro is a great communicator. He likes feedback as he moves through the project to ensure that everything is done correctly or what the customer has in mind. Additionally he promptly answers phone calls, texts and emails. We give San Juan Renovations our highest marks (they actually deserve more) and we are looking forward to working with Ramiro again on future renovations. read more

This review is waaaay overdue. We have had Ramiro work in our home for several years. Five years ago, we bought a new home and he helped us with the remodel, at first installing tile floor throughout the house, backsplash and countertops in the kitchen, then handling the rehab of three bathrooms, plus all the while acting as project manager for other trades who did work, since we were living out of the area at the time. He also worked on the exterior of our home, created a stucco entry wall, installed concrete slabs, and changed the configuration of a travertine walkway. Ramiro understands all phases of construction, besides being an expert tile setter. He has a keen eye for design and pays attention to every detail. Besides being thorough and skilled in his profession, Ramiro is honest, trustworthy and communicative. A couple of years ago, Ramiro painted and installed new kitchen cabinet doors. Most recently, we hired Ramiro again to update two of the bathrooms. He came up with design concepts we never would have thought of, always making suggestions and collaborating with us on every decision. Ramiro is a top quality artisan in every way, with skilled hands, creative mind, eye for detail and a heart that he puts into his work and the relationships with his clients. Our home would not be the same without him. We wholeheartedly recommend Ramiro! read more

Ramiro is an artist. We had him redo our two bathrooms and they look fantastic. Besides the quality work, I also value the input he gave us on each project. He has an eye for what will look great and kindly offers suggestions when he has an idea. Thanks to him we changed the layout of tile in our guest bathroom floor, and it looks incredible! I'm so happy with both of the bathrooms he did. I also appreciate that he leaves the workspace clean each and every day. I highly recommend him and will turn to him again for our next project. read more

I wish I could give minus 5 stars due to the unprofessional, inconsiderate way in which this company or, Ramiro treated me. I should have noted the red flags with a few texts not answered and when Ramiro mentioned he had difficulty finding good people to work for him. Yes, he sowed up to give me 2 estimates but flaked after that. He sounded scattered. Today, I waited for him to show up to the appointment we made yesterday. I called him and texted multiple times and he didn't answer. I am used to dealing with contractors who worked in my rentals and my own home. This company will not survive in this market because his reputation will catch up with him. Stay away. read more

Ramiro is a true craftsman! He gave us invaluable design input and did an amazing job installing our kitchen backsplash. I would highly recommend him for any tile project! The backsplash design I went with was a grey chevron layout with custom yellow and white accents (aka: I laid out the design myself). I requested bids from other companies and felt like my project was too inconvenient or too complicated for them. But Ramiro was excited about it! And the reviews I read were right, he has an amazing sense of design and balance and helped me make multiple changes to my pattern on the day of the installation to get it just right! This was such a big deal to me! He didn't rush me or get annoyed. There were at least two times (probably more like ten times) I said something like, "I think that's probably good" and he would put the accent tiles in place, tell me what he thought the problem was in the placement (he would be absolutely right), and we would move the accent tiles to a better spot. That being said, he never forced his opinion. He seems to have a great sense that we're the ones that will live with the finished product and he wanted to get it just right to our tastes. He nailed it! Ask him for his input on your design! You will be so happy you did! And when it comes to the basics of any good job, he knocked it out of the ballpark. He got the bid back to me quickly and was able to start work within a few days. Ramiro and his helper showed up on time the day of the installation, protected my floors and cabinets, did a small drywall patch in the backsplash area that I hadn't gotten to, worked quickly, cleanly, and were respectful in every way. I could go on and on, I'd give him more stars if I could! read more

I would highly recommend Ramiro for any tile installation. He installed the marble backsplash in our newly modeled kitchen and did an awesome job. He made great suggestions on design was very meticulous as he hand selected each marble tile and where they should be placed for the best results. The backsplash was ordered custom and very expensive and Ramiro did a great job installing it perfectly! We are very pleased and feel this finished off our kitchen to be showroom model gorgeous! See the pictures and judge for yourself! read more

All of the great things the others here are saying about Ramiro are 100% accurate. He is a true artisan and the consummate professional; on-time, true to his estimates, very personable, and knew just how to make sure to sync up the different feedback between my husband and I (he texts if he has any questions or concerns). I called him after ordering some very high-end mosaic glass tile from New Ravenna for my kitchen back-splash. I was desperately looking for someone reliable after a negative experience with a previous contractor. Every piece is unique and had to be placed individually and with variation in color. The wall had to be absolutely smooth as variations would not be forgiven with this thin tile. The project came out above and beyond expectations. All of our friends are ooo-ing and ahhh-ing on our Facebook page after sharing the photos. Thanks so much Ramiro! We were so lucky to find you! read more

Just completed the remodel of two bathrooms in our home in Dana Point. I had a few bids but quite frankly Ramiro gave us the best bid. Ramiro Ramirez is a man of impeccable character and integrity. The job he did for us was even better than we expected. He is creative and detail oriented at the same time. Always coming up with ways to make something look even better. He can do just about anything so you get a very talented contractor when you hire him. I give my highest recommendation! read more

We had high expectations when entering into a bathroom remodel contract with Ramiro and all of those expectations were exceeded. The look of our bathroom is amazing and even better than we expected. We recently completed a large-scale remodel of our kitchen and considered using the same company for the remodel. What impressed me during the initial consultation phase that set Ramiro apart from the company who remodeled the kitchen was how much design and style guidance he provided to us. Right off the bat the design ideas and practical suggestions Ramiro provided to us gave us a lot of confidence he was the guy who would get us exactly what we wanted. Now that our bathroom remodel is complete I'm here to share why I am very happy I chose Ramiro for the job: 1) He has a great sense of what will look good in your space. He is privy to modern styles and techniques. We installed porcelain wood style tile on our bathroom floor and in the shower. I had no idea how the tile should be installed; I figured it would be installed in the large planks it came in (shows how much I know!). Ramiro went above and beyond in painstakingly cutting the tile into small planks for the floors and even smaller little planks for the shower floor and the look is awesome! He did not need to do that but he took the initiative and delivered an incredible look. He was also able to advise me on the purchase of the right style mirror for the wall. 2) He is very open with communication; always asking for your opinion and direction to ensure he gets it right. Additionally he always answers emails, texts and phone calls so you feel you are always in touch. 3) He works with tried and true specialists for all the needs you may have with your remodel; paint, cabinets, glass. I didn't know what type of stone I would like with our vanity and he picked and got us (at a great price!) a beautiful piece of marble, could not be happier! 4) You can tell Ramiro is invested in your project and genuinely wants it to come out looking great. Overall I would highly recommend his services. I'm an auditor and my career calls me to very detail oriented and a little picky; Ramiro was patient with my many requests and very positive and friendly in his customer service approach. read more

Ramiro was GREAT! We had 20 year old travertine with a carpet inset area in our dining room, and we wanted it all travertine instead of the inset. Ramiro taped and plastic sheeted the work area, then removed the carpet, plywood and hauled it away, installed a beautiful offset shaded travertine (original match was impossible to find) in two days, and it looks BEAUTIFUL !! Thanks Ramiro for a GREAT job!! read more

Ramiro was awesome! I recently had my kitchen redone. Along with this I decided I should retile downstairs to complete the remodel. After several quotes to do this, I chose Ramiro as he had a competitive bid and had showed the initiative to get the job done right. After consulting with Ramiro, he suggested several additional steps that were not included by the other contractors. Ramiro came out and evaluated the concrete slab that the new limestone floor would cover. He pointed out that the cracks and un-level surface would need to be ground down, then sealed, then an under layment or moisture barrier would need to be applied before the stone was laid down. Prior to officially hiring him, he showed up with his concrete grinder to grind some of the un-even spots. Although we thought this would take an hour or so, he spent all day working, breaking mid point to go and purchase and to replace the expensive grinding disc that he had worn down on my floor. This was impressive and showed me the initiative and attention to detail he was willing to achieve. At the end of the day, I hired him and gave him the deposit knowing that would cover some of the expense he had already taken on. During the tiling process, Ramiro and his apprentice Valentine were always here on time. I know Ramiro had other jobs going on, but he came everyday he was scheduled and either he or Valentine were here at the time expected. After laying one layer of moisture barrier, Ramiro thought this wouldn't be enough and purchased material for a second layer, going beyond what was expected. Ramiro picked up the limestone for me although that was something that was not originally included. In addition, about 2/3 of the way through we had some bad tiles that we needed replaced. Ramiro made a second trip with me to hand select the remainder of the stone. In addition to all this, I know we used more thin set mortar then expected. Ramiro never asked for additional money for any of these unexpected costs. He even hauled away some miscellaneous construction materials left behind from the kitchen remodel. Lastly, my floors look awesome. I am so happy I hired him and will definitely hire him again when I am ready to continue upstairs in the bathrooms. I am happy that I am able to recommend him to others here on Yelp. I Highly Recommend Him! read more

Ramiro showed up on time and his pricing was very fair and did an excellent job. We took all his recommendation as far as design and looks. Completed his job on time and is very friendly and a true gentleman. Highly recommended and will use him for our future remodeling jobs. Thanks Ramiro. read more

If Yelp gave 10 stars Ramiro should get 11 stars. I call 5 tile companies on Yelp. Not one returned my call. I look more into Yelp and found Ramiro. THANK GOD !!! I have a tile job that was not easy to do because you could not find the tile anymore. Ramiro came out figured out a way to repair it . He does awesome work and a great fair estimate. I am going to use him in all my remodels. Thank you again Ramiro read more

Ramiro is a gentleman -- also an intuitive tile installer and craftsman -- has good ideas and is not afraid to share them -- I appreciated this aspect. Quite artistic, prompt ... leaves the premises in a clean condition. Has now performed two large jobs at our home in San Clemente. Highly recommended! read more
