Grima Tile & Stone

The posted 4 and 5 star reviews are from friends and family… we are neither. Vince is a nice guy, but the quality and follow through on his projects is not at 100% satisfaction. Due to the company’s small size, they become easily overbooked and your small project will suffer… as it encounters delays. I would not recommend this company for your small home projects. They prioritize the big ($$$$) projects.

If you want a reliable, experienced and professional job done call Grima! We had the opportunity to work with Kelvin at Grima. We can not say enough about how wonderful he is and how pleased we were with their work. I will not hesitate to call Grima for any of my stone needs in the future.

I used Grima to install my quartz countertop, glass tile backsplash and tile floor. I asked for bids from a half dozen different tile and stone places. One place would only do the countertop was significantly more in cost. Grima was less and would do everything I needed. They were also responsive when I contacted them. I selected my countertop and backsplash from Ceramic Tile Center in Santa Rosa. Grima and Ceramic Tile Center work together so I didn’t have to make phone calls to do «introductions» and get things together. (Ceramic Tile Center recommended Grima.)
The counter was templated by Kelvin — a guy with 30+ years of experience. It was «tricky» in my judgement because I have this 36″ farmhouse sink — but Kelvin set it all up using strips of wood and hot glue. When the counter arrived to be installed, everything fit well and I later had fun trying to find the seams. It was very difficult! They also did an excellent job of setting the sink. They did it all in a day.
The next work was the backsplash — then the floor.
Grima got to work right away once the materials came in. Unfortunately, the estimated amount of tile ordered was short, so they had to come back. Then, that estimate was short! So they had to come back again. Each time the estimate was short there was another week of waiting because they had to order the tile.
Sofie wasn’t happy about this, but I laughed. I’ve done my own construction projects and come up short of materials. Any fool can order too much — but ordering «just right» is not so easy. They were trying to save me money — and they did! I didn’t care how long it took — these guys are good and I don’t want anyone else doing the work.
Now it’s all done and it looks terrific! The guys were so careful to keep things neat and clean — and they were smart enough to double check about the grout colors and the details of the layout before they got too far along. I appreciate how skillful they cut the tiles around the crown molding. One would think the crown molding was applied on top of the tile — but not so! I told Bernardo what a great job he did on the molding and he smiled and waved his hand saying, «I just mark with the pencil and cut the tile. It’s nothing!» I know different — I’ve tried it before and it looked like someone was trying to cut a tile to fit tight with the crown molding and didn’t know what he was doing.
