I went to Cal tile in alameda. I spent an hour after I selected the tiles explaining to the salesperson how much I needed for the bathroom walls, bathroom floors, shower floor. I had the sq footage written. I also ordered accent tile. They messed up the order and had to make a new order for the floor. Ordered only for the walls not the bathroom floor after I specifically went over the dimesnions. Then for the accent I told them the sq footage and how many inches I wanted the accent. They messed that up too. They refused to get two more sheets unless I paid 150 dollars shipping and then

Cal Tile went out of their way to help me with a rush job. They have a remarkably extensive variety of tile. It was worth checking with Cal Tile.

Calvin was really helpful with assisting our tile selection in a very COVID safe manner, explaining the differences in the different qualities so we could make the right choices for our project.
Chito was able to take the measurements really quickly and his crew did a fantastic job creating our new shower. The project was completed faster than I expected and it looks even better than I could have hoped. I loved the complete service and everyone was very thoughtful and safe about COVID. Thank you!

Quality work and product. Perhaps a little expensive and their timelines can take long if they dont have product on site.

Calvin was kind, responsive, diligent and even followed up!! Really appreciated the quality of the products they sell and their service! These are tough times with Covid and I think they are handling it with grace and dignity. I would highly recommend supporting this long standing locally owned and operated business!!!

I realize that we are in the midst of Covid 19, but, if you don't know what you want, I would not recommend going here, unless, you know exactly what you want. I could not touch the tile, and I had to look at one sample tile at a time. It didn't work for me, so I went elsewhere, where I could see and touch the tile while maintaining a safe distance.

Beware. They have a very restrictive return policy. You must return whole boxes of tile, and you have a month to do it. The man dared me to post a complaint saying, "be my guest." More than a little nasty.
