Review by a customerin San Diego, CA Project: Install Ceramic or Porcelain Tile
Owner showed up for demo phase & informed me that he would sub out tile laying phase. 2 unlicensed tile layers performed work; 1 did a great job; the other was rude and was unable to provide perfect work on the mosaic section of my project. Owner came back with helper to grout; found multiple places after they left, where grout was done poorly on corners. Overall, not done as professionally as I had hoped.
Comment from Nando's Tile
I'm sorry you feel this way. I did not sub out the tile laying phase; Albert & Brian have been working for me for years. They are the best in this field & work under me. The mosaic part of the project was as perfect as it could be due to the lack of materials you left us with. I informed you that you needed more tile, and you told me to leave a big square open for the mirror, which actually made our job a lot harder, but we did it for you. As for the grout, I told you I did not need a cent until the job was done and you were happy. You paid me and I told you to call me if you have any problems and I still have not heard from you.

Review by Steve M.in San Diego, CA Project: Install Natural Stone Tile
Natural stone 1" tiles are a bear to work with. They did a great job of fixing my prep and placing the tiles in an eye pleasing manor. All of our friends have complemented our completed bath & shower area. Great job by a professional tile setter. They were friendly and clean and got the job done in the time frame agreed upon. We would recommend them to anyone.

Review by a customerin La Jolla, CA Project: Install Natural Stone Tile
Nando and his team did a great job. They were always on time and didn't force me to use more expensive tile. They were willing to work with the Home Depot tile which saved me a ton of money. I would recommend covering your furniture if you are doing slate in a condo as it got very dusty and I don't think they noticed when they cleaned up.
They are also very trust worthy. I had to leave for a trip while they were here and they locked up when they left (so well, I accidently got locked out when I returned). I would hire Nando again and recommend him to anyone.

Review by Anne H.in San Diego, CA Project: Install Natural Stone Tile
Nando and his team were extremely professional and did beautiful work. He was very communicative and I never had to worry that things weren't being done the way I wanted them to be. He worked with us when we had to adjust the timing of his services and was very pleasant to work with. I would definitely use him again and recommend him to my friends!

Review by Charlie D.in San Diego, CA Project: Install Ceramic or Porcelain Tile
Nando was very thorough in explaining each step in laying down the tiles, so their were no surprises in what they were doing. Any problems that came up, he would come up with options to rectify the problem. Both Nando and his assistant, Ken, were polite and professional.
