Featured Reviews for Tile Installers in Santa Cruz

Quarzo Tile & Stone
Tile Installers in Santa Cruz
Average rating: 4 out of 5 starsMarch 21, 2022
“We are in the process of having a countertop makeover in our kitchen. My wife and I visited Quarzo to look at the many different choices of stone slabs at there site. We were greeted by Abril who showed us the styles of tile they had. She was friendly and knowledgeable and helped us to get an idea of what we were looking for. She sent us home with different samples to see how they matched with our cabinets and floor. I am proud to say we have purchased polished white granite for our kitchen. We are in the process of purchasing a cast iron sink, faucet and garbage disposal. We have not set a date yet for this kitchen install. We are excited to get our new makeover. We are pleased with the service so far. Will add to this review when job is completed.”

Tileshop
Tile Installers in Santa Cruz
Average rating: 5 out of 5 starsMarch 6, 2013
“I have used Tileshop product consistently on my projects for about 12 years. They are a great bread and butter line with a great selection of porcelain and ceramic tile lines & glass and deco lines. And there is enough diversity in their line to accommodate any style from contemporary to traditional. And all their lines have trim! So you can specify a whole project from one place! The showrooms are always neat and clean and easy to use and full of up to date vignettes and installations. Everything is labeled and priced. The prices are very fair for a high quality product. And everything is stocked! The staff is also very friendly and helpful. I cannot recommend them highly enough.”

Bay Area Stone & Tile
Tile Installers in Santa Cruz
Average rating: 5 out of 5 starsJuly 11, 2017
“Bay Area Stone & Tile retiled our master bath. What a huge difference between what we had and the way it looks now! We would have been grateful to have everything straight and level but Bay Area Stone and Tile exceeded our expectations. Manny worked most of our job and did a terrific job. George (one of the owners) had mentioned they could bullnose our stone so that we wouldn't have to use quarter rounds. Without that bullnosing, we would have had to use quarter rounds from a different manufacturer (which didn't match) or a metal (not a great fit with the transitional look of the bathroom). The bullnosing turned out wonderfully. George had also come up with the idea of creating a windowsill using the same tile. It too looks great—so much better than the wood we'd planned to use. We highly recommend this company!”
Artistic Stone Kitchen & Bath Inc
Tile Installers in Santa Cruz
Average rating: 5 out of 5 starsApril 15, 2015
“Artistic Stone fabricated and installed the countertops in my remodeled kitchen, and they installed the glass mosaic tile backsplash. The countertops I chose were quartz in most of the kitchen, with granite on the bartop separating the kitchen from the family room. The whole experience with Artistic Stone was very positive, from working with the sales people, to the installation itself, and follow up. The sales person I worked with primarily, Sakiko, was very friendly, professional, and responsive. She really came through during the tile installation when I had to reschedule the date of the installation at the 11th hour, because I was having trouble choosing the grout color. Thankfully she and her team were very flexible and rescheduled without a problem. In the end I got the perfect color and the crew did an excellent job installing a difficult tile (due to the size variation of the tile pieces in the mosaic). More than a year after the installation, they came out recently to do a little touch up, including filling a small scratch in the quartz countertop. Now I can't even tell where the scratch had been. Altogether I was very happy that I hired Artistic Stone and I recommend them highly.”
Jacob Hayles Tile
Tile Installers in Santa Cruz
Average rating: 5 out of 5 starsMay 22, 2019
“I just hired Jacob to solve a problem that several other tile contractors could not fix. The shower in my guest bathroom wasn't draining properly due to the fact that the original shower floor was improperly installed (not enough slope, weep holes had been blocked, etc.). The other quotes I received from contractors were not only significantly higher than the one I got from Jacob, but required more time and additional investment ($!) in materials. Jacob did not merely replace the tile floor. He tested for leaks (even explored my crawlspace), fixed the drainage problem, did a beautiful job of installing the river rock tile (no seams whatsoever), and went the extra mile to diligently protect everything he touched. He has years of training and experience, takes great pride in his work, and is humble, reliable and trustworthy. Jacob is an independent licensed, fully bonded contractor and a true craftsman.”
Dave Nuno Tile
Tile Installers in Santa Cruz
Average rating: 5 out of 5 starsJanuary 24, 2017
“I am a professional designer and project manager and have worked with Dave Nuno for more than 12 years. He is, by far, the best tile professional I have worked with. Dave is detail-oriented, provides accurate calculations for materials, and interacts so well with clients. He genuinely cares about his clients and wants them to be absolutely happy with the tile work that he provides. He hires excellent staff and makes sure his high standards are met by everyone who works with him. I would recommend him unequivocally.”

Tile & Stone Contractor FAQs
The duration of a tile installation project can vary widely depending on the size of the area being tiled, the type of tile being used, and the complexity of the design. A small, straightforward project, such as a bathroom floor, can typically be completed in 2 to 3 days, whereas larger projects like full-home flooring or intricate backsplashes may take a week or more. Consultation with your chosen installer will provide a more accurate timeline.
When selecting materials, consider both aesthetics and functionality. Porcelain and ceramic are popular for their variety and durability, while natural stone offers a unique look but requires more maintenance. Glass tiles are ideal for creating striking backsplashes. In terms of design trends, large-format tiles, minimalist color palettes, and patterns like herringbone are currently popular. Your Tile Installer can provide advice on what materials and designs will best suit your space and lifestyle.
Before the arrival of your Tile Installer, ensure the area is clear of furniture and personal items. Make sure the surface to be tiled is clean, stable, and ready for installation. Discuss any special requirements or concerns with your installer in advance. Preparing the area not only facilitates a smoother installation process but also helps prevent delays.
Common challenges include uneven subfloors, complex patterns requiring precise cuts, and selecting the correct type of grout. An experienced Tile Installer can address these issues by using the appropriate techniques and materials, such as self-leveling underlayment for uneven floors or epoxy grout for high-moisture areas. Their expertise helps mitigate these challenges effectively.
Seek a Tile Installer who has professional certifications, such as those from the CTEF, indicating they have completed training and passed evaluations on their tiling techniques and business practices. Additionally, look for professionals with a solid portfolio of completed projects and positive client testimonials. These qualifications ensure the installer has both the technical skills and the professional integrity to deliver quality work.
Ensure longevity by choosing high-quality materials suitable for your intended use and having them installed by a certified Tile Installer. Discuss sealing options for porous materials like natural stone to protect against stains and damage. Following the installation, maintain your tile according to the manufacturerʼs guidelines, such as regular cleaning and resealing when necessary, to preserve its appearance and durability over time.
