New Age Tile & Stone

unknown

The job was done very professionally and in a timely manner. Anytime that I called the owner with questions he was very helpful. He showed up on time and kept me informed of his daily progress. I was very pleased that when he finished cleaning the grout, it looked like its original color. He also did a fantastic job installing the new tile. I will definitely use this company again.

Very promptly came out to inspect damage and make an estimate for the repair. Very friendly and courteous and very reasonable estimate. Lou even suggested he may be able to find matching replacements for the tiles that had broken. On the following Monday, he came out to do the repairs and was able to find matching tile. He charged what it cost him for the tile and added that to the bill as we had agreed. The finished work was excellent, the matching tile worked beautifully (old tile was faded a bit, but, unless you look hard, you cannot see the difference). We will certainly use him again in the future. <br />

Overall, a good job. The tiles look really nice. There was a slight markdown from "excellent" because of a few minor issues. The contractor did not show up with the material necessary to patch the holes in the wall. I made a trip to the nearby Home Depot to get the patch material, as we were trying hard to get the job done in one day. Also, I see a slight variation in the width of the grout. I would have liked them to be a more even. <br /> All of these things were minor. The price was very good (the "Angie's List deal" was $450, but I had to pay another $100 for the patch work done on the walls before the tile was installed), and the overall look of the backsplash is good. I would use this company again. <br />

<p>Lou Araujo gave me a very reasonable estimate on removing the old shower and replacing it with tile with an upgraded Shluter system.  His bid was under that of a contractor who was going to replace with the same type of fiberglass surround.  Once we signed contracts, Lou and his journeyman George started work. </p> <p>From start to finish it was six days and our bathroom shower became a beautiful, gleaming piece of art.  Their work was precision down to every tiny corner.  It is just what we hoped for.  Every day the job site was left clean and the rest of the room usable.</p> <p>We are very pleased with Lou and New Age Tile and plan to engage his services to remodel our two bathrooms upstairs.  We absolutely recommend him to anyone who is considering tile work. You will not be disappointed.</p> <p>Lou is personable, honest and professional. </p> <p><br /></p> <br /> <br /> <br />

<p>The job went well and we were very happy with the installation and the final look of the project. Lou is very meticulous to detail and will not cut corners in order to save time...he is a man of his word and we were fortunate to get him to tile our house !  We are very pleased and have given his contact already to another friend looking for a tile man.</p> <br />

I was very impressed by the professional job Lou did on the tile.  I wanted to extend the tile in the kitchen into the adjacent dining room and in front of a sliding door, and I wanted it to match the existing tile.  He did the prep work in 1 day, tile in 1 day and grout the third.  This is a project I have been wanting to get done for a while and my family and I are thrilled by how nice it looks and how seamlessly it blends in with the existing tile. <br />

Lou was very straight forward, very honest, very clear as to what he would do.  He brought us samples of tile for ideas, and referred us to a tile store that had great prices.  He showed up every day at 7:30 and kept us up to date daily with progress.  We encountered a few glitches along the way, he told us about them, told us what he would do about them, and solved them.  We had unexpected issues, he brought in people to fix them.  He worked with our schedules and helped out with picking up cabinets for the bathrooms.  He made trips with us to the tile store to make sure that the order went well, and that we picked out what was needed.  He was very personable and very good at his profession.  His main goal was that we were satisfied. <br />

New Age Tile & Stone (Lou) was responsive and professional throughout the entire process.  He promptly returned our phone calls and or texts, happily answered all of our questions, and provided a written contract for the project. <br /> We're finishing up a bathroom and kitchen remodel and were looking for a professional to help us tile our bathroom wall (tub/shower).  After meeting with Lou, we talked about how we were going to do the bathroom floor and kitchen backsplash ourselves, but Lou was able to provide us with a solution that fit our budget, schedule, and included all our tiling needs.  We completed the demolition and provided many of the materials, e.g., tile, grout, grout sealer, etc., while Lou provided bathroom wall material, mortar, etc.. <br /> Lou and his assistant, George, showed up every morning at the time they said they would and worked full days.  They took great care to make sure our house stayed clean during the process and cleaned up the inside and outside work areas every night so that you wouldn't even know they were there.  Lou kept us informed throughout the entire installation and was a pleasure to work with. <br /> We have another bathroom we're planning on remodeling in the near future and we won't hesitate to call New Age Tile & Stone for all of our tiling needs. <br />

Lou completed a bathroom re-model for me and also installed  tile flooring in my bedroom.  I was very happy with Lou’s workmanship, work ethic and ultimately with the final product.  In my opinion, Lou is a highly conscientious contractor who strives to ensure that his customers are satisfied with all aspects of his work. Lou has gone out of his way to help me with my home remodeling projects. He responded to my text messages and telephone calls promptly. He arrived at the worksite on time and worked industriously thorough <br /> the day. I am impressed with his fastidious attention to detail and his perfectionistic work style.  Lou does not take short cuts or rush the job.  At the end of the workday Lou always left the work site clean and tidy for the next day. I highly recommend Lou for any home renovation project. I plan to hire him again for a kitchen re-model. 

Louie--Tiled a 400 square foot den area, in December 2012, in three days.  He had one other assistant helping him.  They vacuumed the floor first, and broke up old tile, under the pot belly stove fire place, and moved the stove outside.  They made sure the floor was clear and clean, before starting the job.  The tile was 6 by 24 inch, ceramic, wood looking planks.  Each plank row was staggered to look like real wood.  They made many adjustments and cuts to the planks, as needed.  The layout was beautiful.   <br />        <br />        The cement in our den was put in the 1960's, so it was very low, in two corners.  Louie put a lot of cement under the tile, on various areas of the floor.  Everyone that has seen our tile thinks it is wood.  I picked an earth looking grout for between the planks, and he mixed it with a sealer, so the grout would not have to be sealed later.  We did not have the floor re-cemented first to be completely perfect, but I like it because it looks good, and natural.  Everyone that has seen the den loves the floor!!  The cost of the job was $1,300.00 including all materials.  i bought the tile. <br />      <br />        The second job was two bathrooms, to be tiled, with ceramic planks.  Louie did not know what was under the floors, so he warned me it may cost $50.00 to $100.00 more, if the floors were really bad.  The job was $900.00 for both bathrooms.  Both bathrooms, the floor boards were nailed down, so the wood was very stable, cement was put down, and a 100% Hardibacker was laid on top of the wood.  (The Hardibacker is 100% waterproof).  Last, the tile was laid, staggered.  Different planks had to be cut, as needed.  The cuts were near perfect. The bathroom planks look perfect, shapes, sizes, and positions.  Everything looks great.  People think we have real wood in our bathrooms.  <br />     <br />        The second bathroom had an area that was terrible, with patches, and wood pieces nailed on wood pieces, newspaper patches.  The floor was sunken in, in places.  it took Louie a half day extra to fix the area by the toilet--only.  He felt the rest of the floor did not need to be torn out. (Added new wood, plumbing, toilet valve, waterline, wax ring, bolts.)  Both bathroom floors have no leaks by toilets, and are completely firm and straight to walk on.  It is so nice!! <br />     <br />         Louie will be coming back to do all of our molding March 2013, and in the future , the upper level of the den and next the kitchen.

Lou Araujo of New Age Tile and Stone did an amazing job on our tile install.  Before the job, he came by and did a walk through and estimate and was very professional in our dealings.  He and his crew took out our old tile and did so with great care not to damage our furniture or walls.  Each day, he arrived on time and also cleaned up the jobsite well.  He removed all our old flooring and installed 850 sq. feet of new porcelain tile set on the diagonal.  All I can say is that we are thrilled with the results.  The quality of work is excellent and we have already contracted him for another job in our house.  We highly recommend Lou!  He works in L.A., Inland Empire and Orange County. <br />
