About Us
Family-owned. Precision tile and stone work. Since 2006.
Our Legacy
California Tile & Stone was founded in 2006 by Juan Villarreal with a singular vision: to bring estate-level tile and stone craftsmanship to the finest homes in Silicon Valley. Juan’s journey in the tile industry began more than 30 years ago, working alongside master installers who taught him that true craftsmanship leaves no detail unattended. That philosophy became the foundation of every project we undertake.
What began as a small family operation has grown into a team of 20 dedicated professionals. Each crew is led by a seasoned installer who has been personally trained in our standards and methods. This structure allows us to manage multiple active projects simultaneously while ensuring every installation receives focused, uninterrupted attention.
Today, with over 5,000 completed projects spanning over three decades of experience, we remain family-owned and operated. Juan continues to oversee every project personally, from initial walkthrough and estimate to final inspection. His wife, Kathleen, joined the company in 2020 to manage finance, HR, and operations. Their sons, Nick and Juan Anthony, represent the next generation of leadership, managing our slab fabrication division and project estimating.
Our commitment to precision led us to make significant investments in technology. We operate a full in-house slab fabrication shop equipped with digital laser templating systems, CNC cutting machinery, and Slabsmith 2D and 3D slab layout and rendering software. These tools allow us to capture exact dimensions, plan optimal slab placement, and show clients a detailed preview before a single cut is made. Learn more on our Materials page.
As a proud member of the National Stone Institute and the TCNA (Tile Council of North America), we hold ourselves to the highest professional and ethical standards. We carry comprehensive liability insurance, maintain all required state and local licenses (License #1051161), and stand behind every project with a two-year workmanship warranty. Our reputation has been built one project at a time, through consistent quality, transparent communication, and doing the job right.
We are not a volume operation. We do not pursue the most projects; we pursue the best results. Every homeowner who entrusts their project to California Tile & Stone receives the same level of care, precision, and personal attention that has defined our work since day one.

YEARS COMBINED EXPERIENCE
Our Warranty
Every project completed by California Tile & Stone carries a two-year workmanship warranty. This warranty covers the quality of our installation work, including tile adhesion, grout integrity, slab fabrication precision, edge finishing, waterproofing, and heated floor system integration. If any installation-related issue arises within the warranty period, we will return to inspect and resolve it at no additional cost.
Our warranty reflects our confidence in the quality of our work and the materials we use. We also provide detailed care instructions for every installation, helping you maintain your tile and stone surfaces for years beyond the warranty period. For ongoing protection, we offer stone maintenance programs that include regular cleaning, sealing, and inspection.
