Radu Granite, Marble & Tile

Radu did terrific work in adding a backsplash to our kitchen. He helped with the selection of the tile, offered several excellent installation options and offered a reasonable flat rate for his services. The tile installation went very smoothly and looks fantastic. Radu even went the extra mile in cleaning everything up and coming back on a later date to add sealant. I would highly recommend Radu

I highly recommend Radu, he is very friendly when approached and knowledgeable. He is creative and does an amazing job! You get exactly what you want when working with him! Great ideas, organized and fast!

I had couple house projects and Radu helped with the tile in the bathroom and the back splash by the sink. The finished jobs look great and the tile he helped me choose matches perfectly. I am very happy the way it came out and I will definitely recommend using his company. Also, the price was the best.

Radu came highly recommended by family members in Castro Valley and I had seen the nice tile job he had completed in their home. So I knew I was in good hands with Radu. And he never let me down during the entire job. I had him tile my entryway (which has an obscure shape) as well as my kitchen, dining room, and a bathroom. Radu offered wonderful ideas and I took every one of them and was so glad I did. He is extremely knowledgeable and has a good sense of design as well. I got the sense that Radu genuinely cared about me and wanted me to be happy with the end result. His pricing was quite reasonable as well. Not to mention, Radu is an extremely hard worker and is very punctual.

Radu did an amazing job on our Kitchen and living room remodel, and at a very reasonable price. He installed about 1,000 sq ft of tile and did some very large expanses of countertop, including a bar, waterfall, and seams. He was very helpful in providing excellent recommendations and was always concerned with us getting the best use of our money. I would highly recommend him to anyone planning to do tiling or countertops. I sure can’t wait to work with him again.
update: we had radu come back out to do a bathroom and some complex tiling on the vanity wall. He was able to install the Heath small diamond pattern quickly and at a very reasonable price. We even had a very complex pattern laid out that he matched. I’d strongly recommend him!

Outstanding contractor! my first time cutting glass tile i was struggling to make clean/​chip free cuts i called radu and he took time from his busy schedule to stop by my house and explain the proper way to cut glass tile. after he explained the proper way to set up my bathroom which was in mid construction already very knowledgeable and knows how to do it the right way i know this because im also in the trades and know how finished product on tile is suposed to look.

We were very impressed by Radu’s craftsmanship. He takes his job seriously, is genuine with his recommendations and goes out of his way to recommend affordable granite/​tile shops. He was also timely and finished his work as promised. One final thing, he was also keen that our kitchen looked good and made appropriate suggestions. I would not hesitate to recommend Radu to anyone.

Radu was one of four different contractors we worked with to remodel the entire downstairs of our house. We used Radu for the floors, granite counters, backsplash and the shower (tile). Radu’s price was very reasonable. He and his crew always showed up when promised, meeting all of the deadlines.
Radu is also a craftsman and takes pride in his work. He consulted with us on our selection of floor tile, as well as the backsplash design. He recommended changes on the backsplash and did a «mock-​up», which we loved and used his design. The backsplash looks great! He also recommended a different tile for the floor, which we did select and now that the floor is done, we couldn’t be happier with the travertine that he recommended.
He added a glass tile design into our shower, which looks gorgeous. We will definitely use him again when we do our upstairs bathroom later this year.

Radu did an outstanding Job, both his skills and design efforts are to be noted as excelletnt! He was prompt and very professional! He took extra care to ensure his work was done properly! He wormanship is outstanding! If I knew how to post a couple of pictures of the work he did for us I would! Radu laid a beautiful marble floor in our kitchen, dining area and entry way; he also created a master piece when doing our backsplash! We wanted to tie in the marble floor with our backsplash, and we were delighted with the results.

Radu helped me with a bathroom tile project in a rental space. He was recommended by an architect friend who had worked with him on projects before. He is a skilled craftsman and has enough design skills to know what is going to look the best when laying out a tile project. I found it very easy to work with him on some design questions on the layout in this shower stall and wall involved in my project. The result is stunning! I saw Radu’s portfolio of granite stone and tile jobs he’s completed and I was very impressed. My project was tiny in comparison to some of them but he gave it his full attention and dedication. I will certainly work with him again when it’s time for some home improvement. Call Radu today and get your project going.

Radu just left after doing a beautiful job of my bathroom tub surround and floor. I recommend him very highly which is saying something because I’m a perfectionist, and I couldn’t find anything to fault about his work. He’s also a professional perfectionist, and learned his trade in Europe. He not only knows how to set tile well, but has good design ideas and cost saving ideas. We replaced an old tub surround of which I liked the inserted border. He suggested reusing the old border tiles which made a lot of work and no profit for him. It involved him sawing the old mortal off the back of each piece — many of them ¾″ glass squares.
He’s hard working, and will stay late to finish a stage rather that quit at 5:00. He also was very considerate about keeping a clean job site.
I would be happy to recommend him.

Radu went out of his way to give me ideas on my bathroom tiling design. He did a very good job and did it very fast. I highly recommend him!

We did a major renovation – floors, kitchen, bathroom – and out of all the contractors who worked for us, I give recommend Radu the highest recommendation.
Unlike the other tile contractors who gave me estimates, Radu also had excellent ideas for the design and materials. He even made two visits before I hired him – showing me gorgeous samples of marble (two types), Ceasarstone, and granite.
His price was the most reasonable of all the bids: he is willing to work with one’s budget while also committing himself to giving you a high-​quality product. His design ideas were tasteful, and his work was meticulous. He obviously takes a lot of pride in his work.
There was a comment on another rating about Radu’s English: despite the fact that this is not his first language, I found him to be a very good communicator. He always got what I was talking about, and I felt that we were very much on the same page. He was a better communicator than many of those who speak English as their first language.
Because he wants to be sure that he has all your details correct, he will often ask you to follow up in an email (his wife, Nadia, helps in this matter). They were always quick to respond.
The finished product was exceptional, and Radu’s work was efficient and on schedule. I can’t recommend him more highly.

I know Radu for many years. I saw many jobs of Radu and believe me they look awesome. Because he is not speaking a good English is NOT A REASON to write a bad review to someone.
Recommended Contractor for doing a very good job every time.

A contractor who can’t answer the phone professionally? Can’t write down your address and phone number right? Shows up late? Geez, I tried, no matter what the bid, the trust factor is just NOT there.
UPDATE: he never did call with a bid. GEEZE.
