I have worked with Tez Marble a few times to build and remodel bathrooms. Besides minor issues here and there the management is good and takes care of you. read more

They had a nice selection of granite and they worked with us to get the project done in time for our fireplace

Bait and switch. I purchased a particular slab and received another. I would have returned it but it would have thrown my kitchen project off by at least a month. read more

I paid Tez Marble and their in-house fabricator almost 15k for marble countertops in my kitchen. They completely botched the job and now I have to hire a new contractor to entirely redo my kitchen for another 20k. Their errors include incorrectly measuring and cutting the marble, misaligning the slabs so the veining was completely off, using completely cracked slabs, cutting the sink hole too large and off-center, placing the caulking too thick and in different colors, and not lining up the seams properly, laying down the island slab unevenly, and many other egregious mistakes. Also I learned after consulting with other marble experts that the marble Tez sold to me was poor quality. They also never honed or sealed the marble which is the proper way to protect it and standard practice with other fabricators. I asked Tez repeatedly to come repair and replace the marble but they never came, they are impossible to get on the phone, and just getting the initial installation to happen took over 6 months. Before I realized how incompetent and shady Tez Marble was, I also hired them to do my bathroom marble, paying them almost $14k. It was shortly after when I determined that they were unwilling and incapable of fixing their kitchen disaster. When I told them I was no longer willing to do my bathroom project with them and wanted a refund for my prepayment of $14k for work they had not completed in any way, they threatened me, verbally attacked me, and said that if I didn't let them do the project they would charge my card even more than what I already paid. At one point, they even sent me an email admitting that they owed me a refund, but first I would need to provide them with my credit card number. Now they are threatening legal action. After consulting with several other reputable marble fabricators in the Bay Area, I learned that Tez Marble is known for their fraudulent business practices, low quality marble (they even fill their marble to hide defects), unethical billing practices, and overpriced marble. Tez makes you commit to working with their in-house fabricators when you select your marble which makes sense, because no reputable marble fabricator will go near their marble. I also learned that after consulting with a lawyer that it is illegal for them to charge the full amount for the marble and fabrication before the product and service is actually provided.. The maximum a contractor can charge as a deposit is $1000, but Tez requires payment in many months before the project is even started. After reading others reviews, I realize my experience with this company is not unique. Stay away from these scam artists. And if they have stolen from you, I encourage you to fight back. We can't let them keep getting away with this. read more

WOW we had such a great experience with Tez Marble and highly recommend this place. Best customer service I have experienced in the bay area for procuring natural stone. Specifically we worked with Gizem, she helped us look and purchase and she is fantastic. More on that below... As a developer I deal with and seek out good vendors to work with and they are hard to find. I can say I have been to every stone warehouse in the bay area and this is by far the best. I needed 3 slabs of a calcutta or statuaretto stone. I was exhausted from 3 weekends of driving around the bay area to find what we needed. Everyplace was terrible customer service, after I left they would not return phone calls or emails. OR they said over the phone they had it, I drive all the way there and they don't have it. OR the slabs are badly cracked/scraped and they are still charging full price. I was about to just fold and get a more common stone like carrara. Finally, I decide to try Tez. I had been there years ago and for some reason had crossed them off my list. I am SO glad I went back. We walked in and immediately had a person approach to help us out. We were quickly shown a number of slabs. It was "fun" I have to say. Gizem was straightforward and wuick. We got a great deal, paid and got out. The whole process was less than an hour! After this she followed up immediately for measurements. I was really impressed after all the bad places I had been before. If you have ever had to do this you'll know how difficult it is to find and get what you want. Go to tez marble, they'll change your mind and you'll be glad you did! Thank you Gizem and Mike! read more

My husband and I were looking for a kitchen countertop. After visiting several different shops, I was glad to have made a stop at Tez Marble. There was a wide selection of countertop materials and slab sizes. Our representative Gizem was also very nice, knowledgeable, and attentive to our needs. We were able to get a gorgeous quartzite slab. Tez Marble also has a huge assortment of tiles. Many of the designs I hadn't seen at other stores. So, I would recommend this shop foe your tile shopping too! read more

We couldn't be happier with Tez Marble & the amazing job they did with my kitchen remodeling. I am pleased with the modern look and my family friendly kitchen. Mike was so helpful & treated us like family. He was readily available any time & gave great suggestions especially when it's hard to decide on the designs. Definitely would use them again for my bathroom remodeling. read more

We started a big remodeling project in August and came to Tez Marble Oakland because we were told it had a huge collection. We met Gizem the very first day and have worked with her for past 4 months. It has been one of the best experiences a customer can hope for. She worked diligently with us to identify the correct choices for our kitchen, flooring and 6 bathrooms being remodeled completely. Her friendly attitude, her professional knowledge and her honesty are what has made it a joy working with her. She went above and beyond in ensuring that we were making the right selections for our home. Additionally, she co-ordinated all deliveries and pickups for us with the contractor which was a huge relief for us. One of the really kind gestures from her and Tez Marble team was they agreed to take back two 2 granite slabs which were determined by our fabricator as poor quality. That shows that they really stand behind their quality and customer experience. Overall, Gizem worked with us on the project as if it was her home that was being remodeled. That is truly what a customer requires. Thank You Gizem for all your hard work and help. We truly appreciate everything you have done for us. You are AWESOME!! read more

Excellent quartzite slab selection across their three locations. Gizem out of the Oakland store was particularly helpful in understanding our objectives for design and price point. She steered us towards a lower price Santorini that's worked beautifully for our outdoor kitchen. Tez bundled in fabrication at a very competitive rate and the results were excellent!

Tez Marble - Quartzite countertop (2 slabs), outdoor kitchen - Building Supplies Near Me - Oakland, California

Getting a new countertop can be stressful. There are too many companies and different types of stones to choose from. How do you choose? For our kitchen project, we called several companies for weeks trying to find the right vendor and right people and the right stone, without any luck. Finally, we met Michael and Sam Tez at Tez Marble in Oakland. Sam was the one who assisted us; he is the son of the owner. He is a cool, easy-going, and helpful guy. He patiently showed us different kinds of stones at their warehouse. The warehouse has magnificent stones from different parts of the world. He then asked us about our project and measurements, so we gave him our measurements. He invited us to come to his office and said that he has a software that he can put these measurements to tell how many slabs we will need and the cost. He calculated the cost, and the price was great and well within our budget. Michael assisted with the invoice and did a fantastic job. Sam has also invited us to see how our stone are cut at Stone Empire, his Fabrication Warehouse. Just by visiting this place, you know that they are in business to give you the best countertop you could ask for. Sam is very helpful and very patient. He went above and beyond to ensure that the job is well done. He has a great team of people that does the template, fabrication, and installation. Eric, Nery, Jose, Matthew are all professional, efficient, hard worker, and very neat. We highly recommend them! Picking the right guy to do the demo and prep the foundation is just as important as picking the right stone. You want to have a great foundation to receive your stone. Like anything else, if you do not have a good foundation, the thing you are building will collapse. If you want a guy who can build a good foundation, you need to call David Wilson. He pays attention to every little detail and ensures that the foundation is stable to receive your granite, marble, or whatever you like. He precisely measures, cuts, and levels everything and if he does not like it, he does it over again until it is perfect. He works hard and does not stop until the job is done. We highly recommend him as well. We are very happy to pick Tez Marble and hire David Wilson to do our kitchen project. We highly recommend them! Hi read more

What a wonderful experience! My wife and I had the hardest time finding the right countertop and tile for our remodel but Michael was extremely helpful (and patient!) so we found the perfect look. They have a terrific selection and a very friendly staff. We highly recommend them! Jim read more

Best service! Loved the selection and the personal Attention and advice provided by Jesus. As soon as my project is completed I will post pictures l read more

Sorry for the very late review. Just wanted to thank Michael and the lady (whose name I didn't catch), for providing all the awesome materials for my custom-built grill. I purchased travertine slabs for my countertop and side stone panels. They gave me a great deal! They were nothing but courteous and professional. They have a huge inventory. Plenty of parking. They have great prices and selection, highly recommended. read more

I fell in love with a granite piece I found at TEZ Marble they held it until I was ready for installation. I didn't know that I could have chosen my own installers but they contract with Stone Empire. However I was very pleased with the installation too. I worked with Gizem and she was great. Answered my questions, found a great backsplash to match granite. read more

I was exhausted from driving to San Jose to return the tiles that's too big for my bathroom and running between 3 other different tile stores try to find the black slate tiles. All on backorder with unknown ETA!! My contractor needs them in two days so the remodeling will be done on time. You could just imagine how worried I was!! I found Tez Marble's phone number and it was 1 hour before they close for the weekend. And THEY HAVE WHAT I NEED!! Gizem was absolutely great!! She helped me find what I was looking for and sending me pictures and videos to show me the different color of tiles because I couldn't make it to the store. Purchase made via phone smoothly and the whole experience was wonderful! Great customer service!!! read more

Tez Marble has an amazing showroom display with an excellent selection of all kinds of high quality stone products such as quartz, porcelain, travertine and marble. I had the good fortune to work with Gizem who treated me like part of her family and provided excellent suggestions and outstanding customer service. I used them for 3 different projects over a period of one year and each time had exceptional service from Gizem. My latest project was purchasing travertine tile for my patio. Thank you for all your support and service. I highly recommend Tez Marble on Hegenberger Ct. in Oakland! read more

Hi, I'm Erick from STONEITUP and I've been dealing with Tez marble for a couple years now and I have definitely seen improvements through our the years, anywhere from Tile stone displays, customer care and most important of all good business friendship. Great place to find your stone materials for any project to come to life, hope you have a great experience . read more

I had the best experience working with Michael. He was fantastic. Went above and beyond helping me find a slab of granite. I was not able to shop In person, he was kind enough to FaceTime with me until we found just what I needed. Thank you Michael. read more

I ordered $5,000.00 on granite. They had a beautiful color called "Blue Spring." It was supposed to be natural granite. Today, January 28, it was being installed, I had to stop the project because it turns out the granite is dyed. If I had know it was dyed and not natural I would have gone to Granite Expo. I am now waiting on the manager to call back with a solution. Be aware of Tez Marble and shop some where else. read more

I discovered this place last night on the internet and visited it today. Incredible selection. Huge. Like two enormous warehouses. Helpful. Everything is IN STOCK. I mean everything. Super low prices. I had been in Home Depot the day before and this place was charging a fraction of what that ripoff place charges. And they have boxes of chair rail, pencil rail, the same tile in 12X12, 6X6, 4X4, 3X6, mosaic, you name it. You can match anything, you can do anything, because of the in stock selection. I didn't need any today, but they have granite slabs, they have vessel sinks that you can take home, no waiting. Amazingly low prices. And all sorts of sale items. When the salesman (they are all super helpful, all trying to please) added up my order I was just holding my breath, but it was $100 for just beautiful tumbled marble, same tile in 3 different sizes. Usually the stores kill you for the small matching pieces, but not here. Instead of having to wait for at least days if not weeks, my tile was in my car and I was driving home (to a waiting contractor) in no time. This place is a find. read more

I checked out Tez online before heading out. Like the first reviewer I found that their selection was extensive and their prices quite good. However, I wished to purchase one piece of 18"x18" marble tile from the show room which I knew was in stock (I said I was shopping for a replacement tile). After a quick pow-wow the two employess decided it was too much effort to fish out a single tile to sell. My real purpose was to purchase a sample to do a fairly extensive fireplace surround, mantle, and overmantle. Think I'll be back to spend my money there? Guess again... One star for being lazy *sses. read more

Literally the worst customer experience you could ask for. There's a guy there named Michael who is great, friendly, and remembers you when you come back. Then there's "the other guy." If you enjoy being ignored after multiple emails phone calls and faxes regarding an order you're trying to place with them, then this is the place for you! Apparently going on vacation means that your order is suspended until that person gets back from vacation, and not, "let me forward your order on to someone who is actually working when I'm on vacation." Sure they have a fairly wide selection, but good luck dealing with these folks once you've made your decision and want to do something as silly as place your order over the phone and not have to drive down to the warehouse on a busy weekday. Three weeks after initially contacting them about trying to place an order (via fax, email and phone), I found that my card was magically charged without so much as an email confirmation or phone call. Then two weeks later I call them back wondering why my tiles weren't there yet and got the response "nobody called you?" Never. Buying. From. Tez. Again. read more

I'm so happy that I found Tez Marble again! They used to be on High Street and moved here a year ago. They have a beautiful showroom, very helpful salesmen (Ozzie and Michael were so nice and attentive!) What I love the most is that they are a showroom and a wherehouse so it's very convenient for me to go on my own and chose what I want and have it put in my truck the same day. I was treated with importance and respect by everyone even though my purchase was small this time. I definitely recommend them and can't wait for my next project. read more

Tez Marble - The beautiful new showroom! - Building Supplies Near Me - Oakland, California

I did 3 projects using tez marbles. There are a lot of selection with cheaper alternatives with good quality. Plan to give this place a little bit of time, Michael is a great guy that can help you out, but do keep in mind he's one person. So I would recommend having some pictures on your phone ready or printed out so he can answer quick questions. read more

I actually read all the reviews for this place before visiting, I was lured by the extensive inventory and the great prices. If you believe the reviews, it's a no-frills place top get tile or stone, but not so hot on customer service. My experience couldn't have been any more different. I am remodeling my bathroom, going from a hideous 80s tile to new natural stone. I visited 3 times when deciding what to get (and confirming with my girlfriend) and each time they were helpful and spent time going over options/prices. Michael helped my, but Chris was also helpful when I had questions and Michael was busy. I ended up settling on an exceptional travertine tile at $2/sq ft. At first I thought that there might be some breakage so I made sure I could bring back whatever was broken, but it turned out there was very little. The place is a little hard to find, it's on a dead-end street right off High (behind that big Shell) In fairness I would give 4.5 because I reserve 5 for places that blow me out of the water, but I feel like some of the other reviews on Tez are a little harsh/unrealistic, and I really like this place. I doubt I will; shop anywhere else for my tile read more

We started looking for tile several months ago before construction project started. We knew that we wanted to start early to explore the different options. First thing we noticed when we walked in to Tez Marble is their incredible tile selection and exception and friendly customer service . We knew we wanted to bring our business to them when we were ready to buy. The selection and friendly atmosphere makes Tez Marble the place to go! Now that we are in construction and will need the porcelain tile soon, Ali and Jesus Aguilar are providing great customer service and knowledge about tile. Jesus is very professional and is helping us get all the materials needed in a timely manner, so our project is not delayed. Muchas Gracias Jesus and Ali for the superb customer service and patience that you have provided us all this time. read more

Hidden unless you're looking for it...parking is right in front...tonsssss of selections for stones and tiles...ranging in prices, styles and colors...and everything was displayed so you did not have to "search" for it...we have been looking everywhere around the Bay Area, going to every stone place possible to find the perfect slabs for our kitchen...and we only knew to come here because we saw it off the 880 freeway We walked in and was greeted by Michael...he showed us all the slabs in the warehouse...we fell in love with a dolomite slab but had no clue what it was...Michael was knowledgeable and friendly when he was explaining the differences between the types of stones and how they compare...he even had all the slabs brought out so we could compare them all side by side...needless to say, we walked out feeling accomplished since we've been looking for months We had to have them keep the slabs for a few months due to delays on our end with the progress of the renovation and they did not have a problem at all Now that the kitchen countertops went in, we went back for backsplash and within minutes, Michael helped us complete the task and we were done! I'd recommend this place based on the variety and customer service! read more

Great customer service! They have beautiful stones imported from Italy, Brazil, China, India and Spain. Their porcelain slabs are my favorite!!! read more

Wow. Thanks to Michael and Fatima at Tez for helping us to purchase a beautiful Slab of Sea Pearl Quartzite for our new kitchen. They were so helpful in helping for the purchase to be so smooth and prior to our purchase, they took us on a tour of their beautiful showroom. You would not believe the assortment of granite that is on display. This will blow you away! We were so excited when we saw the Sea Pearl because we love the Caribe and are choosing ocean greens and blues for our kitchen. Michael and Fatima worked with us to ensure that we were well taken care of. We felt like family. The Installer met with us at our home and took template and measurements. Then we met them at their shop to get the best configuration so that our Slab would have the optimum presentation. We met with Michael and Fatima to purchase kitchen and living room floor tile and the assortment they have is outstanding. Great prices too! We highly recommend Michael and Fatima at Tez Marble and always enjoy working with them to help beautify our home! :) read more

I don't know how this place is rated so high. It must be for the selection. I'm here for the second time in a week and the customer service (lack of) is appalling. There are three employees in the showroom currently. One greeted me up on entering. She asked if I'd been here before for which I replied yes, the man walking in behind me Said no so she helped him. I told her I do have some questions so if she could come help me when she finished locating his five pieces of tile and she said she would. Two customers, three showroom employees and I've been waiting nearly 30 minutes to ask my question. I came here last weekend and had a unpleasant experience. The man that greeted me was aggressive and made it clear that he was trying to mark us as his customer. He wasn't helpful after showing us the slabs, he went back to the showroom. I even mentioned I would to have the slabs moved to look at and he didn't offer to have them moved until we were walking out the door. The guy to move the slabs had been sitting in a chair playing video games. One star for the great selection but honestly you can go elsewhere and find better pricing and service. read more

Best experience I've had!!! TEZ Marble has an Amazing selection and Michael is incredible to work with!! I would highly recommend TEZ Marble read more

Stumbled into this beautiful showroom while in the area. I was greeted by the kindest, most welcoming man, and he showed me around, knew exactly what I needed, and at great prices too! Highly recommend visiting Michael Demordaut at Tez's Marble for granite and marble. read more

I went to Tez Marble to purchase my counter top slabs because they have a huge selection of tile and stone.The purchase process was easy, You can spend time in the showroom and they provide assistance when you need it - making recommendations, etc. . After the counter tops were installed, I noticed a problem with one of the sections. I called the store and told Michael about it. Without hesitation he sent the fabricator back out to look at the problem. The fabricator Jose, came out and worked tirelessly to fix the problem even though it was largely due to the cabinet installation. They did what it took to make me happy. read more

Tez Marble has a great selection of natural stones as well as porcelain tiles that look like stone. I just purchased quite a few of their porcelain tiles for a special project for my studio. The tiles are very beautiful and of high quality. The staff was so helpful from the minute I walked in the door to the moment I received all of my items. Thank you so much! read more

We bought a beautiful slab of green quartzite that we love from Tez. We had spent many hours of looking for quartzite and granite slabs in other Bay Area stores before going to Tez for the first time. We immediately spotted a slab of quartzite that was unlike anything we had seen in other stores. Sales Manager Michael Demordaunt had the slab moved so we could see it better and we knew it was what we wanted. Michel gave us a very good price for the stone and fabrication then held the slab for us until we were ready to have it cut and installed. Tez's fabricator, Euro Marble & Granite worked with us to determine the best way to cut the slab. They were prompt in making the templates, cutting and installing the countertops for our bathrooms. We are very happy with the experience and the finished countertops. We would definitely shop at Tez Marble again when we renovate our kitchen. We have recommended Tez to friends and will continue to do so. read more

I've been coming to Tez Marble for the last couple of years. As a real estate investor, I go there every few months to buy tile, trim, and accent pieces. The selection is quite large, and the quality and variety of stone, in particular, is impressive. It's always easy to find what I'm looking for due to the store's intuitive layout. Ordering is also a cinch. I'm usually in and out of the place after a few minutes. I usually end up being helped by Michael, who is always welcoming and very knowledgeable about the materials he's selling. Gizem has also helped me before. She is very professional and always has a smile on her face. Even the guys who work moving the tile are friendly and accommodating. They will open up boxes so you can check your purchase, and if you need help they will drop whatever they're doing to lend you a hand. It can be difficult to find a tile store that has (a) a good selection, (b) reasonable prices, and (c) friendly & knowledgeable staff, but this place fits the bill. I really can not think of anything negative to say about Tez. I will continue coming here in the future, and highly recommend Tez Marble. read more

I'm a first time home owner who had to make fast renovation decisions, so I'm sure I'll only learn even more so with time and exposure how remarkable Tez Marble is. The selection is enormous and yes, you pay more than you would at Lowe's/Home Depot, but the quality you get matches the price. I've already had guests come through complimenting the tile. We worked with Michael, who was friendly, kind, and honest. I appreciated that he was willing to work with my budget, and that he was always highly responsive to calls and emails. I also really liked that he'd give his real input on designs/layouts instead of simply agreeing plainly with me. I'd definitely recommend this spot, and Michael in particular! read more

This place is amazing.!!! Went there with a client looking for stones for her fireplace. Clean big warehouse, great customer service and very knowledgeable staff. They have great selection of natural stones. We found what we were looking for so I left with a very satisfied client. I recommend this place to anyone looking for stones. read more

I found a tile that I wanted and there were only a few places that had it. I went with Tez Marble in Burlingame and was very disappointed in service. I wasted months waiting for my order that they told me they put in and ended up cancelling after wasting my time in the middle of my remodeling project. Service was horrible with no follow ups with me or on my behalf. read more

TEZ Marble has some fantastic glass, ceramic, porcelain, and marble mosaics and tile. Michael DeMordaunt is a great resource and gives constructive advice on what will and won't work in your designs.
