Monterey Ceramic Tile and Marble
The experience with www.MontereyCeramicTile.com started with your awesome website. I looked at hundreds of web pages until I came across your work. The website was easy to access, clearly laid out, and "jump started" my imagination. Next, the email to your office was answered quickly and professionally with a "can do" attitude. Your staff worked with us eagerly around the design and set up the details to make it happen. The quality of the workmanship was excellent, shipment was timely, and we thoroughly enjoyed our creative adventure with Monterey Ceramic Tile and Marble Inc.
Thanks again.

Hi Michelle,
We have finally finished our pool and hot tub. It only took ALL spring and summer, there was a lot of detail work and a few add ons. But the finished product is awesome. Whoever sees the pool, loves and compliments the tiles. We could not have done it without you. You were very helpful, informative and courteous with us the whole way. My wife Robin and I appreciate all of your work with us. Thank you very much. Here are a few pics, the one of all of us in the hot tub is the best, I think, the tiles look great in that one. Let me know that you got this email and were able to open up the pics please. Stay happy and healthy.

Hi, Michelle,
As promised, here are pictures of my beautiful new bathroom.
Thanks to you, the tile looks great. Thanks for excellent
suggestions and exceptional customer service! I will tell
everyone about you.
Tracy Gaikar of San Clemente, CA
Hi, Michelle,
Just about finished. Thought you would like to see the project.
I love the tile and you guys have been great!
Sharon Lum of Redlands, CA
Thank you! This is excellent. You, Michelle, are far and away the most helpful, and gracious person I have spoken to in my search. I will look at your info, pictures, and prices, and try to come to decide. Please show this email to your boss, and tell him, or her that you are a gem. People who actually take the time to help others in this world are rare these days, especially in business. Thank you, and have a GREAT day!

I just wanted you to know how satisfied I am with my Sicilian Clock from your Giftware collection. Having just traveled to Palermo, Messina Siracusa and Agigrento in November, I could not and did not find a better piece of art!

We loved our experience. Jan is the best!!!! I've been recommending
you to anyone who will listen. We would certainly use you
again. As soon as we're done re -doing the house (we tend
to get distracted by other family/work demands!), we'll be
happy to show off how your materials helped make such a difference!.
Thanks again & have a great new year.

You folks are simply the best! We'll be back in your store
in the Spring for your help in tackling another one of our
projects. What makes Monterey Ceramic Tile & Marble unique
is their acute attention to detail and their commitment to
total customer satisfaction -- not so easy a task in this
era.

A Happy Customer!

Everything was very positive for us. We love our mural and
the installation is beautiful. I would recommend you to anyone
that needs some confirmation.

To Jan and the crew at Monterey Ceramic. Our purchases went
wonderfully. We have been in the house for 13 months and all
is fine. We get lots of questions about the tile throughout
the house and we recommend you highly. I think our neighbors
went to you about 3 months ago when they did their kitchen!
W. Wagner

Jan was a huge help in selecting my tile. She asked very
specific questions that helped me narrow down my choices.
She worked with me in getting a good price on commercial grade
tile that I wouldn't have otherwise been able to afford! Thanks,
Jan!!

We have finally finished our kitchen remodeling and your
beautiful tiles have been installed. We found the quality
of your products and your individualized, professional assistance
throughout the ordering process (and to this point) above
standards. The compliments---actually all the "ooohs
and ahhhs"---coming from all our guests are resounding
in your favor as well. Our intention when we began the renovation
project in our 1920's Arts and Craft style home was to bring
the kitchen back to period. We have received many comments
about the tile in which people ask "Is this the original
tile?" We reached our goal--with your help. Thank-you!
B. Nelligan
Steubenville, Ohio
You asked if our experience with Monterey Tile was good and
my reply is it was, and it is. We are still enjoying the tile
we purchased for my daughter's bathroom. Everyone remarks
how unique it is. I still recommend your website to my friends
and family.
C. Glick
Bonita, CA
I just wanted to drop you a line to tell you how pleased
Karen and I are with the service that you gave to us in the
task of picking out and purchasing the tile for our bathroom
project. It is a rare experience in these days to be able
to deal with someone as knowledgeable, helpful, patient and
professional as you and your staff. Any projects that I start
in the future that require tile, I will visit you again. Also
I will recommend your store to anyone that I know starting
tile work. Thank you again!
Rick Stubbs
Torrance, California
I found the shopping experience very helpful. Because I live
in Chicago, the assistance I received was via telephone and
looking at the colors online. Jan was very helpful in advising
a color combination when she knew what I wanted. She suggested
a specific red, green and gold, based on knowing what the
ceramic colors actually look like, rather than my vantage
point of online viewing.
I am very happy with the result and would highly recommend
shopping at Monterey Ceramic Tile.
Anita Morgan
River Forest, IL
My experience at Monterey Ceramic Tile and Marble was very
positive. From the rapid turn around time from placing my
order to the response to my inquiries, was in all instances
only 24 hours. I would most definitely recommend Monterey
Ceramic Tile & Marble to my friends and I plan to place
other orders for my personal use as well. These are the qualities
that make businesses successful.
Thank you again for your courteous and friendly service.
Bettye J. Dixon

The architectural drawings were helpful to give us a sense
of what we were all envisioning. However, when it came time
to lay the tile, we of course had to work out the specifics
of how things would fit into our spaces with our tile guy.
Your drawings, together with Bob's, helped a lot.
The greatest help, however, was your problem solving, imagination
and knowledge which we did not receive at other places and
which was why we ultimately went with you. We felt confident
that you knew what would work and what would not, and in the
end all of your suggestions resulted in two very satisfied
clients. So thank you.
Ilene and Bob Gannaway
Sherman Oaks, CA
I thought it was an extremely positive experience; the website
was easy to follow and everyone I talked to was helpful. I
would definitely come back if I have tile needs in the future.
Thanks very much for an easy purchase and delivery experience.
Nancy Asbill, Senior Attorney
San Mateo, California
I am comfortable with the level of fine service and problem
resolution you offered...responsive, fair, clear and timely.
In a word... very satisfied. As far as purchasing on the web,
I could not have found the correct tile scheme without searching
the web. Your design schemes are exactly what I seek...colorful,
depicting a real world implementation, and creative. I was
able to cut and paste your .jpg files, print 50 of them on
my color printer as actual sized tiles (4" x 6")
would be, tape them together, put them on the wall and see
how they look on the actual bathroom.
I believe that we did it the only way possible...actual photos
of samples, actual photos of delivered product, real time
customer support to address and resolve my concerns over some
of the defects apparent in some of these handcrafted tiles.
I will enjoy doing business with you in the future...if only
everybody were so responsive!

My experience with Monterey Tiles was great. They provided
the lowest prices( I always comparison shop), excellent information
regarding technical questions and suggestions, had a very
high quality tile inventory, and were absolutely professional
and helpful. They are a service -oriented store with a large
selection of wonderful tiles at very competitive prices .
Lynn Bennett
Monterey Hills , CA
My experience at Monterey Ceramic was the BEST. I love the
floor and wall tile that I put in the bathroom. When I walked
in Monterey Ceramic Tile & Marble, I wasn't sure exactly
what I wanted but Jan knew and helped me get the right tile
for my very small bathroom. At first, I was skeptical about
putting big tile in such a small room but I listened to Jan
and WOW, am I ever happy I did. Jan is very knowledgeable
and has excellent customer service. My tile is so wonderful
that I want to live in my bathroom.
I would love for you to take a picture of my wonderful bathroom
to show how a very teeny tiny room can look so great with
the correct tile, thanks to Jan's help.
Linda Whipple of Arcadia, California
Many months ago we had gone to look and inquire about tile.
I would like to just let you know that your salesperson, Jan
Leong was so professional and we were happy with how she assisted
us. She was very knowledgeable and helpful.
We will be sure to keep you in mind for future projects and
will refer our friends to your place. Best Regards.
Michael D. Antonovich, Mayor, Los Angeles County
The service and kindness from your emails to your follow
up phone calls was very much appreciated. Although it took
us nearly 6 months to make up our minds, you guys were very
patient. We finally bought from your mural tiles section and
are happy with the results! I have already emailed my friends
in California to visit your showroom for their next tile project.
Thomas Weber of Egg Harbor Township, New Jersey
We were very happy with the selection, price and service
at Monterey Tile.
Heather Cassano of San Marino, California
We re-tiled our entire bathroom wall area in plain white
tiles. We wanted to add some decorative tiles and could not
find anything we wanted locally. Monterey Tile popped up on
our website while searching for tiles on the internet. Unlike
going to a local store, you are not able to touch and feel
the tiles, so I guess I felt kind of "naked" going
into this process of buying off the internet. But Jan at Monterey
made me feel comfortable. She answered all my questions and
she was very patient with me. Our bathroom has become the
most beautiful part of our home now due to the mural we bought
from Jan. Thank you!
Anderson and Mandy Green of Tulsa, Oklahoma
We started looking for tiles since last year and could not
make up our minds. We are members of PBS (KCET in Los Angeles)
and discovered that as members we can save additional discounts
at your store because of our PBS membership. You are very
far from us. Michelle mentioned the website, but we still
did not know what we wanted. Michelle followed up and made
a point to answer any questions we had. Eventually, we said
why not. We drove all the way to Rosemead and thought Wow!
The tiles were so beautiful. We never saw anything like what
we saw at your store. We were even more confused! Monterey
Tile suggested we try a designer. They gave us a name of a
designer. She was very nice and helpful. Our project is all
done and the tiles on the floor and the granite on the counter
is just wonderful! My husband and I are so relieved and just
happier because the project is done and done to our standards.
Thank you Michelle for helping us. The PBS discount also helped
too. But nothing beat the selection and the service that Monterey
Tile provided us! Thank you! Thank you! Thank you!
Giles Bowen and Linda Soash of Manhattan Beach, California
We purchased tile that runs from our front door, through
the main hall, to the back door and then out onto the small
patio. It was evaluated by our general contractor and the
tile sub-contractor as an excellent tile. It is a 12 X 12
San Marcos Vento, sold to us by a Ms Leong. She made the sale
very easy regarding particulars and helped convince my wife
when she had some misgiving. We are pleased with the quality
and the practicallity of the sea-green color.
Tom Harders of Simi Valley, California
My husband and I purchased some tile for a bathroom remodel
that we were doing a few months ago. Since then, we completed
the bathroom and we have received nothing but compliments
on the beautiful tile. Let me add that the reason we purchased
tile from Monterey Ceramic Tile was the quality of service.
There are many tile companies out there, but from the moment
we walked in, we got the attention and advise we were looking
for. Thank you for the help and you're more than welcome to
take some pics of our bathroom for your website.
Aaron & Martha Kovacs of Monterey Park, CA
We have found placing orders with your company to be a pleasant
experience. Your customer service department handles each
and every order in a courteous and professional manner. Thank
you for your time.
Notch Custom Builders, Inc. of Glendale, California
I was just surfing the net and found your website searching
through Yahoo.com. My tiles look great! I was nervous, but
I had very little time to hassle with picking out tiles and
when I saw your website, I was so impressed. I saw nothing
near my hometown that came remotely close to what your tile
store offered. The freight was not bad at all. My shopping
experience from your website was very helpful.
Shauna McKeene of McKinney, Texas
My online and phone ordering was easy and convenient, and
the turn-around time was greatof especially to Colorado. Looking
at the colors on the web page, ordering samples, talking to
you about the measurements and placing the order made shopping
with your company a breeze. Your customer service is outstanding
and I really appreciate that.
Leslie Rogers of Franktown, Colorado
I wanted to let you know that my experience with Monterey
Tile was excellent. Michelle, I want to thank you for all
the time you spent with me in your shop putting tile combinations
together until we found something that worked exactly to my
liking. Your emails, phone calls and faxes were always appreciated
and kept me up to date on progress as well as delays on the
manufacturer's end. When you said you would call, you called.
When you said something would be in on a certain date, it
was. As you know I had incredible problems with another tile
company, and so your excellent customer service was greatly
appreciated and I will be using Monterey Tile for the bathroom
next, in 3 years in my next home, and will be referring you
to everyone I know. It really looks fantastic!!! Thank you
again. From one extremely happy customer.
Phyllis Solomon of Los Feliz, California
We are very pleased with the tile that we purchased from
you. Everyone that sees our remodeled kitchen comments on
the wonderful backsplashes. The whole experience of dealing
with Monterey Ceramic Tile & Marble was professional.
We did have that misunderstanding concerning the total amount
of tile needed but the additional order was handled with speed
and efficiency. The delay in installation was minimized because
of the way the situation was handled.
Marc Lamphear of Burbank, California
When I needed a special hard-to-find tile to repair a custom
bathroom in my New York apartment, I looked all over Manhattan
and could not find what I needed. By some miracle I searched
for a tile company on the web and found yours. You were unbelievably
wonderful. You found what I needed, cut it to size perfectly
and saved me a huge amount of time. I still find it amazing
that from my desk in New York I was able to make arrangements
with you in Monterey - send you a sample and voila, my problems
were solved. The net is fantastic and so are you! Thanks!!
Daniel Alpert of New York, New York
I am very satisfied with the tile I purchased and with the
service I received. Michelle was especially helpful, spending
the time helping me decide on the tile to purchase. I would
use Monterey Ceramic Tile & Marble again and would recommend
it to my friends. I don't have any problem with you taking
photos of my place after I the kitchen remodeling has been
completed.
George Tang of Pasadena. California
We have installed our tile which we purchased from you. We
are very pleased with the appearance and style of our new
tile. It has made our entrance, dining area, and kitchen very
beautiful. The design tiles you recommended for our entrance
added just the right class and accented the entrance as we
wanted. Working with you on our tile project was a pleasure.
You were extremely helpful, very patient, and knowledgeable.
Thank you again
Andy & Ruth Murillo of Arcadia, California
Just a quick note to let you know the mural we ordered from
you is just exquisite. Everyone who sees it just raves about
it. The tumbled marble we purchased from you is perfect for
the kitchen walls. So glad I found you online and you were
close enough for me to drive to you. We both appreciate all
the help and consideration you gave to our order. Everything
we purchased from you is just great!
Sue Cole and Jim Peck of Corona, California
I searched for tile companies on the Internet and came across
yours. I then left a phone message at Monterey Ceramic Tile
& Marble. The phone call was returned by Jan. Jan found
the tile that I could not find anyplace else. Jan went the
extra mile to make a small sale to a person on the opposite
side of the continent.
Jon Dickert of Chattanooga, Tennessee
Monterey Ceramic Tile is the best kept secret in the San
Gabriel Valley. You would have to go to West L.A. or Orange
County to find designer tile, not anymore! MCT has the most
beautiful and unusual tiles around.
Vart Tumasian of Montebello, California
I was so glad that I visited the website by Monterey Ceramic
Tile. There website was very helpful. I was doubtful at first
about providing my information over the internet and what
not. But the staff at Monterey was so helpful and assured
me that my information would be protected. My tiles arrived
on time and my kitchen is now the best part of the home. Thank
you Monterey Tile for all your help. I can't wait to do my
next project. I will definitely re-visit your website when
you have more new information added to your collection!
Myrna Washington of Maspeth, New York
I learned about Monterey Tile from my AAA office. I mapped
out the distance and you were really far away. I called your
office and you had mentioned your website. The website was
very helpful. Plus I was able to make a nominal purchase without
ever stepping foot in to your showroom. Not to be offensive,
but basically I travel quite a bit and have very little time.
Plus this tile project was for a home that I was selling.
Jan and Michelle made me feel so comfortable, that I gave
you my credit card information with no hesitancy. Now, I am
in my new home with a kitchen that needs some major work.
This time, I will definitely go to your showroom. I will even
refer to the map from your website!
Josh Horowitz of Studio City, California
We went from Home Depot, Home Base, you name it even the
Expo Center. Bottom line: Nothing compares to the service
and selection. We gave Michelle at Monterey Tile our budget
and told her we had no idea what we wanted. She took the time
to ask us question after question. We were very impressed.
So impressed, that we bought our entire kitchen tiles (wall
and floor) from Monterey Tile. Thank you very much for your
service.
Gary and Suzanne Falls of San Marino, California
We had no idea what we wanted. All we knew is that we needed
to get our bathroom project done in time for my mother-in-law's
arrival. She arrived early. Regardless, we all went to the
tile store right hear near Monterey Park. Priscilla at the
store was friendly. She communicated in English to me and
my wife then spoke in Mandarin to my mother-in-law. Priscilla
was thoughtful to include my mother-in-law throughout the
process of selecting the tiles for the tub, counter, and floor.
I feel that Monterey Tile makes you feel like you are part
of their family and that they REALLY care. I will refer all
my friends to them in the future.
Paul and Grace Wong of Monterey Park, California
An architect referred me to your store. I was not confident
to go all the way to Rosemead because I felt that the local
stores in the Santa Monica area can pretty much do the job.
I guess I was wrong. I found your selection impressive. I
was actually pleasantly surprised. I found medieval tiles
to very interesting craftsman style tiles. This was ideal
for me because I was working on restoring my home. I needed
turn of the century tiles to maintain the architectural and
design integrity. My fireplace was the last part of the project
and the tiles at Monterey Tile was perfect.
Michael Bosely, Jr of Santa Monica, California
I needed a soap dish and a shampoo tray. It was such an "itty-bitty"
need. I searched on the internet and found your store. Priscilla
was helpful and even gave me the suggestion to NOT buy the
soap dish and instead have the contractor make a recessed
box from the patterned tiles that I already had. That said,
I still bought the shampoo tray, but not the soap dish. I
took Priscilla's advice and love it! I have referred my sister
who resides in Pasadena to visit your showroom. She is just
about done and I can tell you so far that she is also delighted
by your friendly help! I can't wait to visit her to see the
tiles that she bought from your store! Thanks a bunch!
