I work in the Construction industry and have for the last 20yrs. When I come across a contractor who bares the values as I do in customer relations, industry knowledge and effective and efficient work practices I have to give them their due. California Marble and Stone was a referral through a client of mine and after working with them on a kitchen project I have to say that I am greatly appreciative of the service that the owner, Sam, and his lead and son, Trevor, provided from A-Z. Its good to know that old school isn't gone from the industry just yet. Bravo Gents, see you on the next project!!

Bad job horrible attitude . my mom hired Sam to put in a new countertop .I would give zero stars if I could. He did a horrible job cut the backsplash 1/2 inch too short and pieced the counter top together where the stove top and sink are .He did a bad job so you can see a big what looks like a line going down the middle. Also a horrible caulking job. Then he didn't want to redo the backsplash unless he pieced it so he painted the wall without cleaning it and left gaps between the granite and the wall. I now have to hire someone to sand and repaint the walls which was painted before he came to do the counter . The new granite counters were filthy and have scratches in them. He was supposed to come back and redo the paint and caulk and did not show up. My mom called and he sent an employee out who had no clue about what he was supposed to do so he left without doing the job.

Sam Slack did a good job and Gabe is good advice on our slabs. His guys were good and kept things pretty neat and clean. He also had some remnants for our bathrooms.

We worked with Sam to do a comprehensive and detailed fireplace design. His advice in guidance from the outset were incredibly valuable. It is truly what I would call value engineering. He gave us critical advice in selecting the right size slab to accomplish our objective. When we think about the amount of time and money, we could've wasted getting a beautiful slab that may not have been the right dimensions or had other problems, that is extremely valuable. And then his execution, fabrication and installation look clean and polished. Sam can really get down into the details of measurements and considerations in the design, architecture and installation with you. We felt comfortable that we and our home were in solid, reliable, hands the entire time. Any marble installation is too important and costly to take shortcuts. And we feel we got exceptional value with Sam in both the pricing and the level of design guidance that he provided.

We worked with Sam and his amazing crew on our new kitchen counters - they were so timely and did a fantastic job. Sam kept us in the loop constantly and they held their promised timelines. We were so happy that we used them immediately after to install a beautiful fireplace surround. Do not hesitate to hire them.

Omgosh, can I give 10 stars instead of 5! Sam and his team are amazing --kind, patient, honest, hard-workers, experts in their field, reasonable, and do impeccable work. This is the second time we have worked with Sam (he worked with us on a master bath remodel about 18 years ago). Just today, Sam and his team finished installing our quartzite in our new kitchen remodel and we are over the moon with how it turned out. Sam is an excellent listener and wants to understand exactly what his clients want. He met with us to lay out the stone we picked out, understanding the pattern we wanted, and involved us in the process. He even said we could meet again to lay out the backsplash before installing to ensure we were happy with the flow of the natural stone. He wants you to be happy and it shows! We love, love, love it, and it is because of Sam and his team's attention to detail and excellent work! Also, another note of why Sam is such a good guy: I had a crack in the marble stepping stone in my masterbath that Sam installed 18 years ago. No questions asked, he sent two guys from his shop to repair and didn't charge me. Is that unreal?! Sam is truly one of the good guys out there! Also, he returns your calls, almost instantaneously. Talk about follow-up! Thank you, Sam and your team, for being the best in the business! Sheila and Jamie Buckley

This is the SECOND time I've had California Marble install countertops in my kitchen. 17 years ago they installed my granite countertops in San Ramon. It was such a great experience that I contacted Sam again when we moved to Oakland. 2 weeks ago he and his crew installed another kitchen for us. There were some challenges... like carrying a 10'x5' quartzite stone slab down 17 stairs!!! Sam and his crew did it again... perfect install... amazing product...careful attention to details. If I could give Sam 10's I would. Hope you decide to use CMS. note: he is super busy... there might be a wait! But SOOO worth it!

Sam and crew at California Marble just finished installing our countertops and we could not be more pleased with his work, knowledge and overall experience. When I called Sam a few months ago, I had no idea what the hell I was doing and he took the time to educate me and answer my endless questions. We finally chose our stone (Quartzite) and Sam was ready to roll right when that happened. He came and took measurements and then like magic, a few days later arrived with the stone perfectly cut and installed in only a few hours. The transformation in the kitchen was unreal! I really appreciate Sam's work, and he's just a super nice guy that will take the time to answer any questions you might have. In the midst of a kitchen remodel with approximately 1,200 to-do items that were stressing me out, Sam was a breath of fresh air and executed the task with flawless service from start to finish. Obviously I highly recommend California Marble & Stone and we will certainly use them again whenever we can.

Thanks thanks thanks!!! Sam and his son helped me solve a problem in my kitchen and Sam advised me on finding matching granite to add a new bar table to an existing kitchen. After we purchased our rental condo (about 4 years ago), I bought all new appliances for the kitchen, but when the refrigerator came it wouldn't fit by a fraction of an inch. I didn't want to get a different fridge but the counters stuck out a little too much on the side. Yikes! I searched around online to see if a granite fabricator could come and shave about half an inch of the side. Everything I saw advised agaInst it. I called several places that said no, and I read a horror story about a woman getting granite dust all over her kitchen. Everything I read said not to cut granite after it has been installed. I called California Marble and talked to Sam. He was friendly and reassured me that they could easily do it. His son came over and quickly cut 1/2 inch off the side without leaving a speck of dust. He covered the surrounding area with plastic and had a helper hold a vacuum nozzle next to the cut. Any dust was in immediately sucked into the vacuum before it could make a mess. Also, the price was very reasonable. I was a surprised how lIttle they charged for excellent service. About two years later I wanted a bar counter installed, and I wanted it to match the current counters but didn't know where to find a matching counter. I searched online and looked at samples in stores. I found a counter that seemed to match and ordered a sample online that matched but other samples of the same granite didn't match?! Being that natural material materials can have Color variations I was afraid to order something then have it arrive not matching. I emailed Sam and he gave me excellent advice for finding the perfect slab to match. I saw the slab in person first in the warehouse to make sure it was perfect before ordering. Sam installed it and now our condo has a beautiful bar counter. It looks really nice and adds counter space. Very pleased customer.

Tried to work with Sam / Cal Marble & Stone but project was never kicked off as Sam didn't return calls. When I was able to get a hold him he gave a number of excuses stating he was in the middle of something and would give me a call back but never did.

Sam and his crew just installed our new Quartzite kitchen counter tops and we couldn't be more delighted! We've been impressed by his company's professionalism, attention to the minutest of details and always friendly customer service. We can't recommend any more highly.
