Tile, Stone & Remodeling Contractor in Santa Cruz
Kitchens, bathrooms, countertops, tile, and fireplaces across Santa Cruz County, from Westside and Seabright beach cottages to Capitola, Aptos, Scotts Valley, and the hills, built for the coast by one in-house team that fabricates its own stone. California Tile & Stone has worked this way since 2006.
One In-House Team for Every Room in Your Santa Cruz County Home
No two Santa Cruz County projects look alike. One month it is a single countertop swap in a condo near the wharf, the next it is a whole-home remodel that runs from the kitchen through every bath. We do both, and we do them as one company. Tile, stone, countertops, flooring, and fireplaces are handled by one accountable team instead of being split between a tile crew and a separate stone shop. Juan Villarreal founded California Tile & Stone in 2006 after more than 30 years in the trade, so for a second home or a full-time residence near the water, that means fewer handoffs, tighter coordination, and one company standing behind the finished work.
That one-company model is possible because fabrication happens in-house. We run our own CNC equipment and use Slabsmith digital templating, so the slab is measured and rendered before it is cut, and a Horus 3D scan and virtual walkthrough let you preview the finished space while there is still time to change direction. On the coast that control matters, because salt air, humidity, and cool damp winters are hard on finishes chosen for a drier inland valley, so a large part of our job here is steering you toward stone, tile, and flooring that actually last in this climate. We also work well with owners who are not on site every day, running the job cleanly and keeping you in the loop. Our team of 18 professionals works as nine two-person crews with more than 180 combined years of experience and over 5,000 finished projects.
Your Stone, Cut and Templated Before It Reaches You
Here is where the real difference shows up. Before a blade ever touches a slab, we template your job digitally with Slabsmith and fabricate every piece on our own CNC equipment, from a bathroom vanity top to a shower threshold or a matching stone curb. You see exactly where the seams fall and how the veining will run, and you approve it, so the finished surface arrives looking the way you pictured it instead of the way a distant supplier guessed. In a bathroom, every one of those cuts also has to sit tight against waterproofing and tile, which is precisely why we keep the stone under our own roof rather than farm it out and hope it fits.
Backed by a One-Year Workmanship Warranty
Almost every job we take comes by referral, the kind of reputation you keep only by standing behind the last one. Everything we install carries a one-year workmanship warranty covering installation quality, tile adhesion, grout integrity, slab fabrication, edge finishing, and waterproofing, so the details that keep a bathroom dry are named in writing rather than merely promised. The license and the memberships sit behind that promise, CSLB #1051161 with the C-54 tile classification plus the National Stone Institute and the Tile Council of North America. If a new bathroom layout calls for moving plumbing or a circuit, that gets handled as part of your project, so one company stays answerable during the work and long after.
