A to Z Bathroom Remodeling Experts

Val was very prompt in providing the bid. He was not the lowest bid. However, we felt comfortable with his knowledge of the process. He was booked for 3 weeks or so. He started when promised and completed the job within the week. The person doing the tile work was Val's brother John. He was personable and friendly. Overall it was a very nice experience. We called Val back as they had forgot to put caulking near the patio door. John came within a day and fixed it to our satisfaction. The only issue that came up was related to the heated tiles. We had wiring already installed. Our belief was that Val's electrician would connect the wires to the electrical mains. That was not done. The estimate give after the job was done was very high in my opinion. We believe Val should have clarified it up front. Our hope was that Val would find a way to get it done. Other than that it was a great experience and we have no hesitation in recommending them to our friends (something we have already done).

Nice work. I'd use them for a future project.

Val did an amazing job! There were unforeseen problems that came up and he handled them with professionalism and was very fair on the charges for these unforeseen problems. Val is a hard worker, professional, prompt and did a great job! We were completely satisfied and have many other areas in our house that we plan to tile and will call Val back for all of them!

Val came out to give estimate shortly after I had contacted him. We were able to schedule installation on timeline that worked for us, and Val was very open to working to finish the project before we had event. Tile was installed professionally and in high quality way in the time Val had indicated it would take. Installers provided help and advice per the grout so that it turned out very well. They seemed as committed to the job as I was. Great to work with. Job was done on time and on budget and in a quality way.

Val and his team were simply amazing! For my kitchen backsplash, I chose expensive, handmade, hand-painted tile that I had been dreaming about for years. Needless to say, after I having spent a lot of money (to us at least) on the tile and having waited for it for so long, I was very nervous come time for installation. It wasn't an easy job because the tile was very thick terra cotta and the pattern was hand-painted, meaning that it didn't align easily and took a lot of extra effort and care to get it done right. It didn't take long however for me to realize that with Val and his team, I need not have worried. After a long discussion about how I wanted the tile to look, I headed off to work nervous about how it was going to turn out. Val eased my fears however, by taking the time to text me photos of their progress and was very good to call and/or text with any questions throughout the day, making sure they did the job just the way I wanted it done. It took them a lot of extra time to carefully chose each tile so that the pattern not only matched on one side of the tile, but all four. The results were just amazing - it looks perfect and we could not have been more pleased. Our kitchen is transformed! Even though it took a lot more effort than Val thought it was going to take when he provided me the initial quote, he stuck to the budget and got the job done on time. I cannot express how great a job they did! We were so pleased that we immediately asked Val to quote our powder room that is just off the kitchen. The room had that pink 1950's tile that seems so common in South Minneapolis homes. The tile went up the wall and covered the floor. So just a couple of weeks after finishing the kitchen, Val's team was back to do the bathroom. Given the nature of the previous construction of the bathroom, I think this job too turned into more work that they had expected, but they put in long hours and got the job done on time and with again spectacular results. We wanted the walls and the floors done in a brick pattern which requires a lot of extra effort as each cut has to be measured each time, as opposed to installing in a straight line where multiple cuts can be made at once. They never complained, and never increased the price, and just put in the extra effort to make us happy. The bathroom now looks as great as the kitchen! We are just thrilled and could not recommend them highly enough. We left Val's team with a key to our home and never had a moment's hesitation. They are honest, hard-working, and deliver amazing results. They were on time, cleaned up well, and made the process as easy on us as possible. Val is very easy to reach, responsive and you can tell that he, and each member of his team, really cares about the work that they do. They are simply the best!

The experience was better than expected. You never know how things will go when hiring a contract but Val is definitely a great business owner and takes pride in making sure his customers are satisfied. I was most impressed by Val's great communication throughout the entire process.

I had a great experience with Val and Victor. They were running a little late in the morning but they were coming from across town, during rush hour with a lot of construction so that didn't bother me at all. In fact they were only about 15-20 minutes behind and still gave me a phone call which was nice. They were both friendly and professional. The repaired area blends in just fine with the rest of the tile and looks very nice. They also pointed out some other areas that may need work and gave a few helpful tips. In and out in 2 hours. We had a great experience and we'll use them again when we do a full re-tile of the bathroom.

This is our second time having work done in our home by Val and his crew. I contacted him for an estimate, which he promptly provided. A few days before the work began he came out to go over some details. He started the work and it went exactly as I had hoped. It looks beautiful! He and his crew are prompt, professional and very easy to work with. We are looking forward to having him do yet another project for us shortly. It is wonderful to have found someone who takes pride in what they do!

We were looking to remodel our master bath. Val came out to do the estimate and was very friendly, knowledgable and quick. The pricing was significantly less than other bids we had received. We got a good deal on the tile with Val's connections at the Tile Shop. The entire transformation happened over 7 business days, starting on a date that was convenient for us. Attention to detail was great. They were efficient, nice to work with and the final product is great. The team was great at communicating, asking questions and executing. The entire process went very smoothly.

Very professional from start to end. I believe I called on a Monday to request an estimate and by Friday Val was at our house early morning going over the project with my husband. By Friday afternoon we had an estimate emailed to us. Once approved by all of us we started the project a week later on April 1st. Our prayer was "Please let them show up on April Fool's Day." And that they did! Val's crew, John and Serge, and myself walked through the project and drawings on that Monday. We were very pleased they were able to work around our schedules since my husband works the overnight shift and I work the day shift. On that first day (my day off), John and Serge took time to go through any hiccups like the thickness of the tile and a slight warp in the stud and how that would effect the edge pencil tile we purchased. We were able to resolve this quickly and not slow down the project, which thrilled me. Each day the guys cleaned up after themselves. I would send emails to Val when I got home from work - infact one email I wrote "I am THRILLED over where we are at in the bathroom tile project! Seriously, I sat there in the hallway eating my dinner staring at the tile work tonight. Normally we eat at the table but tonight I just sat there enjoying the view. This has been a LONG OVER DUE project! Don?t worry ? I didn?t walk on the tile, just sat on the carpet in the hall." Val said it would take 4 days and sure enough it did. They were flexible enough to come back on friday to seal the tile and walk through with my husband (since that was his day off and he would be awake during the day and I wouldn't have to break away from work.) We are very pleased with the work they did and would recommend them in a heartbeat. FYI, even our dog liked these guys - LOL!

All work was excellent. One the demolition was done, we could see how much damage was done by the original poor design. The new cement board was cut to measure (outside) fitted in and sealed. The floor pan was taken up and, again, we could see the damage. The damage was repaired and a new cement pan installed. The tile was meticulously laid with none of it a single millimeter out of position. The new door was installed. Everything was grouted and sealed. As work progressed, there were discussions about necessary changes.

I will not be using this vendor.

The time we spent with Val was quality in every respect.

We needed to replace tile in a section of the wall in the tub surround area that had once been a window. Old tile and grout installed approximately 30 years ago in the former window space had failed. We contacted A to Z Tile & Stone. Val came out and looked at the condition of the tub surround area. Whereas we had thought we might need to replace the entire tiled area, he reported that the older (original) high-quality tile dating from ~1920 was still in great condition and shouldn't be disturbed (thereby making the job smaller and less costly than we had originally anticipated). Val also recommended not trying to match the color of the surrounding tile, but instead to use a black accent tile that complemented the black accents in the rest of the tiled bathroom. This necessitated using a mix of standard and "border" black tiles, which were more expensive but also of much better quality than the standard tile. The work was scheduled approximately two weeks following the original consultation, and was completeed in two days. The second day was needed in order to find the black tile (from several outlets in order to have enough to do the job). The end result looks very chic -- the contrast between the existing gray and the new black tiles, including a nifty border treatment, turn what originally looked like a "patch" job into a cool space that looks stunning. The quality of the installation is super -- totally professional and of show-house quality. The total price ($550 including the Angie's List discount) covered removing the old tile, replacing with the new black tile and border tile, installing a metal grab-bar, adding non-skid strips to the bottom of the tub, and also regrouting a built-in tile soap dish in the original tiled area. Cleanup was complete and spotless. The original project estimate was approximately $100 lower, but with the agreed-to upgrade to the black tile instead of the standard gray (which wouldn't have been a close enough match anyway), this was the cause of the added cost. We were perfectly fine with the revised estimate, because the solution was so much better. A to Z Tile & Stone was very professional and courteous in working with my elderly mother. They were generous with their advice, took time to shop several tile outlets to collect enough of the black tiles to complete the work now instead of having to come back later, thereby making the bathroom functional sooner. They were prompt -- arriving at the exact time they stated on the first day, and adhering 100% to the revised schedule to complete the job. We would not hesitate to use this company again for any tile or grouting-related needs. Their craftsmanship is noteworthy, and they saved us a good deal of money by recommending a solution that was very affordable, as well as functional and, in the end, strikingly beautiful. (That this resulted in a smaller job with lower income for them, shows that they put the customer's interests ahead of their own.) We could not be more pleased with the work of A to Z Tile & Stone.

Val at A to Z Tile and Stone gave us a very fair estimate for the re-do of a small bathroom which would include removing everything but the tub. He and Victor showed up on Monday morning and started immediately with the demo of the old wall and floor tiles and removing the vanity, toilet and old plumbing fixtures. They replaced the wall board, laid new tile on the wall surrounding the tub and the floor. They replaced the vanity, vanity top and faucet, installed a new toilet, installed a new lighting fixture, towel racks and toilet tissue holder and painted the walls. All this was done in 3 days with a minimum amount of dust and a lot of walking up and down a big hill to get to their truck. What a beautiful transformation! They worked efficiently and only took a break for lunch which usually included a trip to Home Depot as well. Throughout the process, Val offered suggestions on how certain things should be done which I appreciated because he was very knowledgeable. Both he and Victor were very patient, a pleasure to be around and were very experienced in their trade and always quickly responded to my emails. We were very happy choosing them to do the job and would highly recommend them to anyone.

He arrived at our house on time but literally spent less than 10 minutes in our house consulting us on what we wanted. I didn't feel like he got a good feel for who we were or what we were looking to accomplish. The other 2 contractors we met with spent no less than 30 minutes in our house allowing us to actually interview them as a company so as to understand their skills and qualifications and what the overall process would be like. When his quote arrived a day or two later, I was not impressed. Yes, the price point was less than some competitors (albeit did not include materials), but it didn't include some important items like PERMITS. Every contractor I met with made a big deal out of the permits and the importance of making sure the project is done right and up to speed with how the code is written in a very strict city like St. Louis Park. This worried me about A to Z. In addition, the grout/sealer that they quoted us was for a sanded grout which must be sealed every 18-24 months. Most homeowner?s will neglect this maintenance item and eventually will have problems with mold and mildew. None of the other contractors quoted this (usually epoxy). So this also raised some concerns to me on the quality of the project. Ever since then i haven't received a follow-up call on the quote to see if I had questions or if I wanted to move forward. Overall I was not impressed and didn't feel like they lived up to their Angie's ratings.

Initially I sent pictures of the area as well as the tile design by email. Within 24 hours I received an estimate. I had Val come out to talk through the project and confirm the plan. They were prompt, very pleasant to deal with. I was hesitant doing this a few days before Christmas but it all went really well. Will definitely call them next time we need this type of service and would recommend to family and friends.

Val promptly answered my call for a request for a bid, scheduled a time to give us the estimate, came when scheduled for the estimate and gave us the estimate within a few hours. We used Val both because of this punctuality, (the other contractor whom we contacted forgot about our appointment twice) but also because his diagnosis of our water problem and plan to fix it made more sense to us than the other contractor's plan. From start to finish Val was professional and timely. The finished product not only looks great but has fixed our water leakage problem.

Like I said I could not be happier Aleksey was on time, it took him about 2 days to get the floor tiled and then came back and put mytoilet back in place along with all the baseboards. Aleksey always cleaned up before he left, he was wonderful.It took him about 2 days to get all the old tile up. Val always called me back quickly and the communication between aleksey and val was great, I would reccomend a to z Tile to anyone and feel confident that the job would be done perfectly!!!!!!! Thanks-again to val and aleksey!

In over 20 years of home ownership--best. experience. ever! We had delayed a much-needed shower repair project for years because of our dread of the mess and disruption it would cause. We read the reviews and are so glad we did! Right from the beginning, everything went smoothly. It was easy to schedule an estimate. The estimator arrived promptly, gave us a thorough estimate, had excellent communication, and (surprise!) by far the lowest estimate of the three we received. They advised us on how to buy the tile and what else to have ready, and scheduled a date. The excellent communication continued, they arrived on the scheduled day at the scheduled time, and walked us through the project step by step. And then it went exactly the way they said it would. They had anticipated all the problems and had solutions ready. Each day they would tell us which steps they would complete and then did it that way. The project began as scheduled, ended as scheduled, and there were no problems anywhere. The gentlemen who performed the work were just that, gentlemen. We were comfortable leaving them alone in the house. They were nice to our dog. They were extremely helpful, courteous, and easy to work with. They cleaned up and caused minimal disruption. They are impressively organized. And then there is the quality. Pride of craftsmanship is evident at every step. It is such a joy to find people who take a skill far enough to make it art. The work is beautiful and we are thrilled. In short, they have our highest recommendation. We will hire them back for our next tile project and recommend that you hire them too!

They did a really good job. They did the job really quick as well.

They cut into wallpaper that is joined to the tiles and they kind of gouged into the wallpaper and removed the wallpaper where the gouge was. I?m sure it was an accident, but there is no wallpaper there and you couldn?t put tiles because it?s a curved arc kind of a thing. I also noticed along the bottom of the step plate as you step into the shower that the left hand side and the right hand side are not symmetrical because they used different sized tiles on each side. It was just a matter of a quick step on their part and they used what they had. If they said it to me we?re going to need another piece to make this symmetrical, I would've gladly gone to get new tiles, but they didn't. Val is the owner of A To Z Tile & Stone, but he didn?t perform the work and the person who worked is less experienced. When Val came back to look at everything, I told him about these problems and he gave me $50 back, but it wouldn't cover the cost of matching wallpapers or replacing the asymmetrical tiles and I was reluctant to take the money. A To Z Tile & Stone Inc is a good company, but if you have them do any work, make sure that Val does it because he is a perfectionist and does a great job.

We hired A to Z Tile for bathroom remodel. However, when Val arrived he made suggestions to help save considerable amount of money by touching up the bathroom. As a result, Val helped us make the right choices to get our house on the market quickly. We were impressed with Val's professional approach to the job. The team arrived on time for the first day and called on a subsequent day to say they would be a few minutes late (picking up supplies). They removed shoes without being asked, which was important to us because of the persian rugs about the house. Being polite, organized, and punctual is much better than I have experienced in the past with other home repair 'professionals'. Val made us confident in their ability to finish the job on time and on budget. This also was refreshing compared to previous experiences with others (I won't name them here). Therefore we wanted to ensure A to Z (Val) got the credit deserved. During the job, Val asked for our input and didn't just "wing-it" and hoped we liked his choices. Val made sure what we wanted is what we got. This review is not an opinion based on one experience, we have hired A to Z Tile twice now and look forward to figuring out which remodel to start next with Val and team. Angieslist asks for 'Dos and Don'ts'. Do: hire A to Z Tile for your tile work. We were satisfied and hope you are too.

The company owner, Val, supplied the estimate for floor and shower tile in two bathrooms. The quotation included demolition, removal of old vanities, tub surrounds, and floor tile and installation of new tile. The quotation did not include the selection and cost of the new tile. I selected and purchased the new tile from The Tile Shop, where I received A to Z's discount. I did not have to transport the tile A to Z picked it up. Two men showed up on the appointed day to do the work. They put down drop cloths and cleaned their work site after each day's work. I recommend that you close off your house as much as possible as this is dusty work. Each bathroom took one week, two weeks total. The first day of each week was demolition, the remaining days were installation. I recommend being on site for the entire job as there were decisions I had to make on installation questions. A to Z demonstrated flexibility when I asked them to move one toilet from the second bathroom to the finished first bathroom so that we could continue to use it during construction. (Installation of toilets were included in the quote as well as installation of the shower door.) A to Z also allowed me to do more of the work than originally planned. A to Z also went to the trouble to pick up additional tile from multiple locations in the city when the measured amount turned out to be short by several tile. I paid for the additional tile. The work was completed in a reasonable amount of time and was top quality. I would hire A to Z again and recommend them to my friends.

The whole experience was awesome from start to finish. A+ would recommend to everyone.
