Josh Vassallo personally supervised the job everyday. He and his workers were highly skilled and worked quickly and efficiently. They confided they enjoyed working for Josh--a "great boss"--to me that meant happy workers, who do a great job--and they did. Pricing was very fair and economical.  I found Vassallo Tile & Stone, because they are one of the top recommended tilers of a long-time highly regarded Marin's tile store. Vassallo Tile & Stone are pros and I am thrilled to whole-heartedly give them my highest recommendation!

Stuart had promised the remodel would take at most 3 months while it ended up taking over 6 months.

I always thought this would end up better but still limited because of our space. But, that's not the case. We love it! First of all, Mark was more than patient with me and my husband, as we planned out this remodel over a long period of time, not being sure what we wanted and what we could afford. Mark provided great insight on the plan itself and so carefully estimated the cost, that we stayed within budget. His crew was professional, trustworthy, accommodating and thorough. They were a joy to work with and have in our home. Their work is of the highest quality.

He is very easy to work with and very attentive to detail. His crew is simply first-rate in both skill and demeanor - cooperative, eager to please, friendly and trustworthy. They have all been with him a long time. We had them do both interior and exterior work, and the results looked perfect to our perfectionist eyes. They also painted a few areas outside our contract without additional charge after asking if we would like them to do it. And not a drop was spilled anywhere. As it happened, we had a number of contractors working here at the same time (driveway and walkway replacement, furnace and air conditioning installation and a few others), and cooperation with them was required, as they were working the same areas. That was not a problem at all.

Northern Construction Tile did two tile/stone projects for me. The first one was vey challenging…read moreand frustrating as they sent crew who were either learning how to tile or just did not care about the quality of their work. Hector Garcia was very difficult to communicate with when asked to come back and repair their defective work. Often blaming others for their poor workmanship. See photos. I worked with Hector to get the repairs done but had to have other tile craftsmen come in to fix the work he said he could not fix. I was forced to pass these added cost on to Northern Construction Tile. We decided to give Northern Construction Tile another chance on another project that was just stone countertops, bathroom wainscot, and a fireplace hearth. We trusted that Hector would pay more attention to detail as he had he would. The countertops were done incorrectly and had to be returned to be repaired, the marble wainscot had multiple issues of poor workmanship. The window sill in the shower sloped toward the window, the marble bench has issues at the joints where the marble is stained. They chipped the corner of the bench and patched it. The patch is completely visible! See photos! The fireplace hearth seemed like a really easy piece to install, but no, they set it 1/4" below the wood flooring in one corner. Then they blamed us. We ended up cancelling their contract and hiring another company to finish their work. All costs for their repairs were back charged to them, per subcontract. We have removed this company from our list of tile/stone contractors.

Loved working with Hector at Northern Construction. Did everything go smoothly and according to my…read moreoriginal plan? No. But I ended up so pleased with the final project. The truth is there were things I simply did not think about when planning out my project. For example, the 12" tiles I planned for the floor left me with a very unattractive layout. Hector noticed this early enough in the planning that I was able to select a 12"x18" tile that looked so much better. My favorite think about working with Hector however was his casual and simple desire to get it done and get it done correctly. If I pointed out something I wasn't satisfied with (chipped tile, etc), it was fixed. No arguing. No complaining. And no renegotiating on cost! Every phone call to Hector ended the same way. He'd say "OK. Let's do it!" and he would be there to make sure it was done. Very happy we were referred to them.
