Monteiro Tile, Inc.

Services were great! Super quick removal of old hardwood floor and install of new tile in a small half bathroom. Clean job, will hire again!

Excellent. We replaced a wood burning fireplace with a gas fireplace. We asked the company to see if they could remove the old tile without damaging it, a tricky task requiring some finesse. They managed to do that very well, and we were able to clean the old tile and have them place the tiles around the new fireplace which required a lot of precise cuts to fit the new fireplace size. They did a great job, and replaced/repaired and textured the sheetrock surrounding the fireplace. The workers were very neat and cleaned up everything when they finished. Highly recommended

Excellent job. Done well & quickly.

Brian and his crew are the best tile setters in the bay area. Professional, helpful, on-time, and on-budget every time. He did a custom shower top-to-bottom for us, and worked with us every step of the way to make sure we got the exact design we wanted from the shower pan to the fixture placement to the tile pattern. He gives great advice on projects, and has a huge network of excellent referrals for everything from plumbing to cabinets to shower doors to electrical. This was a huge help to us with a recent kitchen remodel, in addition to the backsplash he did for the remodel. His tile work is top-notch - hands-down the best I've ever seen. His attention to detail is unmatched.

The porcelain tile installation turned out better than we hoped. Their workers adapted to the change that proved necessary (we tried to remove the previous tile and cement board underlayment ourselves). They also disposed of the tile we removed. The new floor is a joy to behold.

Didn't use the right tile in the one place(smaller so grout lines bigger). Only brought 2 colors of grout. Didn't have the right color

Monteiro Tile gave A+ service. I received a quick and fair quote. I am picky and am very pleased with the tile work. Installers were professional and clean. Would definitely recommend.

Brian did exactly what he said he was going to do. Cleaned up when he was done, my wife is very picky about cleanliness and he exceeded her expectations. He's very professional, showed up on time and like I said he did exactly what he said he was going to do very much appreciated

Very proffessional

Very professional. Worked to make transition exact and very smooth.

Highly recommend! Brian did a fantastic job tiling our master bathroom shower. We used a herring bone tile for the floor and niche which required a lot of precision cuts and attention to detail. We also opted for a linear tiled floor drain which required a lot of attention. We also replaced the floor tile and it came out perfect. Brian is a perfectionist and it shows in the quality finished product he puts out. He was prompt, responsive, clean, and timely. He went above and beyond to ensure we received the shower we envisioned. Brian also helped coordinate with someone to come out and install my glass shower door. I will recommend Brian to all my friends and family.

I engaged Brian initially just to replace loose tile in the main part of our master bathroom. We knew there was probably a little subfloor damage that would result in a little more cost. But, as things turned out there was significant damage that meant replacing some structural elements and replacing the adjacent walk-in shower. This really went from a little repair work to a fairly major unplanned remodel job. Brian helped me find other trade people to do structural and plumbing work, shower door installation, and drywall work. And, his work tile work was excellent. A true professional in every way.

Brian and his crew did a fantastic job on our double-sided stacked stone fireplace. We redid an old painted brick fireplace with the stone, and part of the job required tearing out half of a poorly done job someone else had started. Brian was easy to communicate with, was punctual and professional, and our fireplace is beautiful. His whole crew is friendly and reliable and and they all do great work (plus you can tell they all enjoy working together). The work was done exactly when Brian promised it would be, and right on budget. Would highly recommend them.

Excellent job; Brian was punctual and responsive to any inquiries that I had. I am very happy with the end result.

He was easy to communicate with and did the job efficiently and well. I would definitely use him again.

Brian is very likable with good communication skills. He and his assistant worked efficiently, and the job was well done. I would definitely hire him again.

They did an excellent job. I'm going to use them again.

I don't write a lot of reviews, but when I find a really good contractor, I like to give a helping hand to meritocracy. I feel fortunate to have found Monteiro tiling for my kitchen and entryway tiling work. I played GC for my remodel. The owner was really straightforward to deal with and was willing to come on a Saturday at a last moment notice to estimate. His manner was to the point, no overselling, no acting. Simple answers, professional and trustworthy, and gave me a lot of confidence. He answered all my questions and I got a sense of someone willing to adjust and accommodate. Price was competitive with other counter bids. I hired them on the spot, as I had an urgency as well and trust was built quickly. Fortunately, they were willing to work the weekend before the installation, to help me out. In the week prior to the installation, I had an urgent text request at 9 pm during the week that affected cabinet heights. They responded. I may have called them a couple of times and the company always picked up or called back, and satisfied my queries. When they picked up my tiles from the shop, they confirmed back to me by text. When they were running a little late, they texted me their ETA. All examples of thoughtful customer service. I was at my residence through much of the installation process. The company owner did the installation himself. When they arrived, they weren't planning on putting a membrane. I was concerned that the concrete floor cracks may be bad for the pricey ceramic wood tiles in the future. The owner sensed my unease and made an additional trip to Home Depot to put a membrane before starting. Accommodating is so much better than rigid, especially when the customer is the GC and isn't an expert. They wanted to put random pattern, but I preferred less than 8". They agreed. They did 1/16" grout joints, which was better than I expected. Instead of just ripping out the leftover baseboard in one area to get their way, they called me to ask. Very good. The outcome couldn't be better. See photos. Lots of attention to detail. I think they might have cherrypicked specific tiles that continued the wooden heartwood pattern across tiles. They cleaned up each day, and on completion, they also cleaned up the dust in the common area walkway of the residential condominium. What could be improved? They should provide customers a more detailed write up of what to expect, prior to arrival. The company may have the skills and knowledge to do the work right, but some customers want the comfort of reading details. Advice for customers : these guys know what they are doing and I can see that they take pride in their quality of work, so you might get a better result getting out of their way. Sometimes I micromanage. In their case, I believed. Of course, always ask your questions/concerns for your own curiosity. I will hire them again for a kitchen backsplash job assuming a competitive price. Ok, that was longer review than I thought it would be. :)

Was professional in all aspects of the job. <br />Was informative as he proceeded though the job. <br />Cleaned up after each day. <br />

He arrived when he said he would. He got to work quickly and set up to make sure he didn't damage anything and cleaned up after he was done. He was very responsive to all communication. I contacted him at various times by phone, email and text and he always got back to me quickly. He showed up to preview the job, got me an estimate quickly and picked up the tile I ordered and brought it to do the job. I would definitely use him again and recommend him.

I recently completed a tile installation for my shower from Brian Monteiro. <br /> <br /> It is not often that I write letters about my services but when someone goes way <br /> above and beyond, I feel it is  necessary <br /> to share it with others. <br /> <br /> From the moment I met Brian, He was extremely kind, professional and really ?knew <br /> his stuff?. I knew that I was in good hands with him and  I am extremely happy with my new shower. His <br /> Price was much better than others bits  that got too. <br /> <br /> It is  hard to put into words how much all the services Brian provided to me but a huge thank  you goes out to Brian. He was absolutely  awesome and I do recommend his services.

I rarely post reviews but since we had such a hard time finding a high quality tile setter, when we found Monteiro Tile I felt compelled to write a review. Brian and his team did 2 projects for us. First was our master bath which was new construction. They did the shower with all of niches, and corner bench, and also did the bathroom floor. Brian helped with the design and then did an awesome job on the tile install; excellent workmanship! Our second project was the kitchen floor which consisted up pulling up tile that was installed by another tile contractor, who did shoddy work, so Brian completely re-tiled the entire floor. Brian and his team are very responsive and they do high quality work. Brian has an eye for detail, is very conscientious and professional. We would use Brian’s team again and recommend his work. His pricing is fair and competitive.

Monterio Tile was recommended to us by a neighbor who was very happy with her bathroom renovation.  We had Brian remodel our downstairs bathroom and it looks great.   We were so pleased we decided to have our master bedroom done next.   <br /> <br /> Brian met his time estimates and was very good at communicating.  The contractors he used were professional and in contact with him on the phone regarding their progress.  One of the things I really liked was he spent time cleaning up at the end of the day.  Contractors often forget people have to live around the mess.   <br /> <br /> I highly recommend Monterio Tile.  Contact Brian if you want to see pictures of the work he did for us.
