I've been working with Castle tile for almost 20 years now. They've done multiple projects for me and both installation and repair and I've always been more than satisfied. When I refer them to my customers the feedback is always terrific. William and Kimmara run a great business. Highly recommended!

I’ve used Castle Tile for 2 major renovations. First for my kitchen last year and most recently for my master bathroom. Kimmara was so helpful and friendly both times. I came to her shop several times while trying to decide on the right tile and she never made me feel like I was a bother. She personally helped me choose the tile and made great suggestions. She researched a manufacturer I saw on Houzz that she didn’t carry and ordered me samples. I am grateful that they let you take samples home too. I would highly recommend Castle Tile and will definitely use them again.

I’m a local tile contractor located in Huntington Beach. I have been doing business with Castle Tile. I always know when I send a client to Castle Tile that they are in good. Kamara and Kathy are very knowledgeable and incredible designers. They will spend quality time with you and give professional advice on all your tile needs. They have a incredible show room with a wide variety of tile. They have a great selection of plank flooring, 12x24, also beautiful glass tile

I will just share my email I sent to Kimmara. We had ceramic tile in our kitchen that was original to the home for 30 years and we lived here for 7 years and not a single scratch or chip. We bought big-box store tiles for the bathroom in 2013 and not a single scratch in 7 years. We remodeled our entire kitchen in 2019 and decided to pay 3x more for expensive Italian porcelain tile from a dedicated tile store, castle tiles. We bought extra to put under all our cabinets because we thought it would last. Within a year we had 1 chip on it. I was bummed, but thought it's fine I will just replace it in the future. Within 2 years. We had 3 places with chips and dings. It's completely unacceptable. It is so easily scratched that one time I tried to vacuum and there was a scratch on it. It is incredibly poorly made. See pictures attached. I have no idea what to do at this point. Kimmara responded, Thank you for sending the pictures. I will forward them to the tile vendor along with your explanation. I will get back to you when I hear back from them. 30 days later she sent me: Please let me know if you would like replacement tiles for the 2-3 tiles. Porcelain tile is durable and considered acceptable for floor and wall use. Proper installation and use of the recommended setting materials and grout installation should be followed to avoid breakage, chipping of the tile. Example/ hollow sounds coming from the tile may indicate improper installation and will cause cracking and chipping, tile does not crack or chip on its own. The Tile Vendor said they have not had complaints about the tile, but they can offer to give you replacements for the ones that have chips. Please let me know if you would like to get the replacement tiles and I will order them. I responded Your response somehow insinuates we have incorrectly installed the tile. There is no hollow sound. Installation is not the problem. This tile is very soft. Beyond the chips it is easily scratched. I've attached just a few photos of scratches that will not come off. We are very unhappy with this tile. I urge you to do your own experimentation of how soft the surface of this tile is, instead of immediately take the Vendor's word and blame your customer for installation. I guess replacements is the only options but it will be very expensive and the longevity is highly questionable. It's been another 22 days and no response. If this is the experience you want to have after spending a lot of money here.

Ray, the owner, has been great! I have used Castle Tile in two major renovations, and they have dine a superb job. The selection of granite and other stones is plentiful. They have wonderful fabricators and installers. I have come back for multiple requests for other minor jobs and they have been willing to do them with the same quality of workmanship. Highly recommend them, and I have to my friends as well.

I received quotes for quartz countertops at five companies. Not only did Castle Tile provide the best quote, their customer service was excellent. I was undecided as to the vendor and color, Shane was very responsive and answered all my questions, this helped immensely with my selection. I plan to remodel my bathrooms and will definitely return once I begin my new projects. I highly recommend Castle Tile.

I simply cannot say enough great things about castle tile. I do not enjoy shopping for tile and other home designs but they way we were treated here made the visits enjoyable. We worked mostly with Shane and he helped my wife narrow down her ideas and was always willing to just let her browse and think with as much space as she needed. He worked with us on price and delivery coordination. Never pressured us to buy from them just wanted us to be happy with whatever we went with. I can't suggest this place enough... thank you Shane and Castle Tile... Go Chargers!!

After multiple remodeling projects and shopping at most of the tile stores in coastal Orange County and up in Anaheim, Castle Tile was one of the best experiences we had in a tile store. A family business, you can tell they really care about their customers by how hands on they are with the details. Within their footprint (not as big as the mega stores, but still a good size compared to other local tile stores) they fill the space they have with a surprising number of tile options. And most importantly, they have a nice range of contemporary styles that are good quality. Prices are reasonable as well. We bought our bathroom and shower floor tile from Castle Tile, but the owner even helped me with some advice when I had a problem with a different tile that I bought online. Thank you Castle Tile!

Very easy to find what you are looking for, plus Kimmara the owner, is always ready to help. Even if it may be a bit of a drive for you, this Costa Mesa store will save you time and you will easily find what you need. No reason to go anywhere else!

We had a fantastic experience working with Kimmara and the whole team at Castle Tile. We remodeled our kitchen and needed help selecting our countertop and backsplash. Kimmara helped us find the perfect pieces for our project and made our vision come to life. She also has a great team of fabricators and installers that did an incredible job. I really appreciate how responsive Kimmara was throughout the process as we ran into a few hiccups with getting our countertops. Kimmara stayed with us throughout the process and helped us find a great option. We will definitely be back for any tile needs in the future!

I've been a designer for years now and I challenge any tile showroom to be or do better. I love working with this awesome, family owned business so much over the years, that we decided to work together further, designing and offering up space in the back of the showroom for designers to meet with their clients. This is why my name may seem familiar. I happily design, meet clients, and serve here, a lot. I hope to see you here soon and am delighted to help you select the right tile, quartz, quartzite, porcelain, indoor or outdoor stone, fabric and upholstery, and any and all design components for your singular sensational design/s. More great news - THEY'RE now a FULL SERVICE HOME & OFFICE DESIGN SERVICE. Stay tuned for their grand RE-opening!

I've been planning/working on a complete remodel for the past year and I am very particular about the tile I want to use, so I have been to almost every tile store in So Cal. Some stores have so many choices that it's overwhelming and difficult to shop while others have just the basic, over-used styles. Castle Tile has just the right amount and all kinds of beautiful choices, so it was well worth the drive. The owners are very friendly and helpful and their prices are reasonable. I highly recommend them.

So grateful to have found Castle Tile! With the help of Kimmora and Cathy, I found the perfect tile for our kitchen backsplash. I had my heart set on glass tile but had heard how difficult it can be to work with. Cathy led me to a beautiful 3"x4" tile that complemented all the surfaces and colors in my kitchen. Kimmora recommended an installer, Virgil, who did an outstanding job despite the many imperfections in the walls. I am more than pleased. I highly recommend Castle Tile and am so grateful for their help and guidance through the process. They made it easy and stress free!

Kimmara and Kathy at Castle Tile both helped me select five different materials for the floor, shower walls, shower floor, pony wall and vanity top in our guest bathroom. It all came together beautifully. The workmanship of the installers they recommended was really good and they were all courteous and cleaned up after themselves. All the different trades involved were coordinated for efficiency. This is the second time Castle Tile has helped me with a project. The first was project was our kitchen backsplash. The materials came from Castle Tile and their tile installation guru, William of Acosta Tile, guided me through the tile layout for the best use of my accent tiles and glass art with a minimum of extra cuts.

Looking for tile at two stores in Costa Mesa , Coastal tile and Mission Tile Both were very over priced. I came across Castle tile in Costa Mesa. They offer a much larger selection of tile than the other two above. They were the nicest and friendliness store to work with. The prices were much less than their competitors in the area. I will use Castle Tile from now on.

So because I'm Costa Mesa Dave I wanted to do business in Costa Mesa. We just bought new carpet from the guys down the street at Carpet Depot, we bought a new couch from The Love Sac Store, again in Costa Mesa and we also protected all our new furniture, carpet and floors with window film we got from Signature Glass Tinting, again in Costa Mesa. We walked in and we were immediately created by the owner, she was so awesome. She listened to what we wanted and then she starts lining things up. We looked at so many options, figured out the pricing and slid our CC. The tile was ready on time, the finish and overall quality looked great and my contractor said the installation was great. If you need tile please consider Castle Tile, the owner was awesome, her team was very helpful and like I said above, your supporting another local Costa Mesa small business.

I wish I could give more than 5 stars! Highly recommend Kimmara and William. Not only does she have 30 years of experience with tiles, but she has a great eye for design. We didn't have any previous experience with tiles before our complete bathroom remodels. Kimmara patiently educated us on different materials and designs and we could not be more pleased. Any remodel is a stressful endeavor, so when someone can relieve some of that, it is a blessing. Add great communication, attention to detail, and integrity and that's what you get with Castle. We will post photos when the remodel is done. I just had to take the time to share this.

Stop here first. I searched many of the big and small tile stores from South OC to the Anaheim area looking for tile. Some of the showrooms are huge but the selection still isn't all that impressive and nothing was jumping out at me. I did a quick google search and Castle Tile came up so I thought I would just stop in before I settled for some other tile choices that I liked but wasn't exactly thrilled with. I am so glad I stopped in here. This place has a really beautiful carefully chosen tile assortment. The whole assortment in the store is beautiful, even the ones that aren't my personal taste were still nice. They have everything you see on Pinterest and Houzz and also anything you may have dreamed up. They let me take numerous samples out and never acted irritated or bothered by me coming back and fourth and swapping out new samples. I ultimately picked out every single tile in my entire house remodel from this one store and I am super particular with what I want. The ladies here are friendly and know their stuff. This is a great place if you want someone to give you great customer service and guidance as well. I highly recommend them, whether you are a designer, contractor or homeowner you will find what you are looking for.

What a find! While visiting my friend in Costa Mesa, she mentioned that she wanted to tile her fireplace wall. I found Castle Tile on Yelp and turns out it's right around the corner from her home! As a professional residential designer, I'm in San Diego tile stores at least once a week. Castle Tile may be the best tile store I've ever visited. They carry all my favorite lines and many I'd never seen before, and their prices are very good! Owner Kimmara is passionate about tile & stone & really knows her business! They also offer installation services, as an added bonus! Can't say enough great things about this spectacular tile shop!

We waited 40 mins at Home Depot bc we needed to get basic subway tiles that same day for the contractor and after asking 3 employees to page someone from tile, we finally got help. We ended up just going onto Castle for the rest of the tiles. They have good selection, and most of all, they are friendly, knowledgeable and very patient. Some tiles/items take longer to get because they are special or back ordered so be aware of this before your project. We needed the pebble tiles for the shower floor sooner than anticipated, and they did their best to track down the shipment for us since it took 2 days longer to arrive than the rest of the materials. Whoever said Kimmarra is endlessly patient is spot on. Wide selection of tiles for bath, kitchen and flooring needs. They appear to have good relationships with their suppliers and many of the local contractors, so the process from ordering to pickup is pretty seamless. In my experience, it's not worth dealing with HD or Lowe's if you have a little time, and you are picky about tile selection. The staff will offer tips and pointers if you ask them for their opinion. Plan on spending a lot of time there because there are so many options.

I've used Castle Tile for 2 major renovations. First for my kitchen last year and most recently for my master bathroom. Kimmara was so helpful and friendly both times. I came to her shop several times while trying to decide on the right tile and she never made me feel like I was a bother. She personally helped me choose the tile and made great suggestions. She researched a manufacturer I saw on Houzz that she didn't carry and ordered me samples. I am grateful that they let you take samples home too. I would highly recommend Castle Tile and will definitely use them again.

Just outstanding. I've used Castle Tile on three jobs, even after checking the stock at other, upscale tile stores. Their service is excellent, thoughtful and helpful. Kimmara is endlessly patient and cheerful, and she has good taste on suggestions for design dilemmas.

Castle Tile is by far the best tile store around! This store has so much selection from mosaics, countertops, flooring and wall tiles. This place has it all, and if they don't have it they will do their best to find it or at least find something similar. Kimmara is awesome! She is always very helpful and very knowledgeable. The staff here is amazing. This place is great!

Can't praise Castle Tile enough. I shopped around extensively at State College Blvd and other big box stores, but found exactly what I was looking for on my front doorstep. The service was exemplary -- Kimmara listened and worked closely with me. She pulled from her extensive knowledge and resources and did back flips to meet my custom project needs. I am entirely satisfied with all aspects of the experience -- this includes product, price, and especially service. Thank you Castle Tile!

Great news: You can stop your search here! The selection is great or they can order something you may have already seen. Kimmara was helpful and personable and ended up pulling out the field tile that became the basis of design and color for both the bathrooms that we remodeled. You definitely won't regret a visit to this place!

Outside of painting and smaller projects, the bathroom was our first major change we had done to our home. Kimmara was so very helpful and extremely patient with our never-ending questions. We even incorporated some of her suggestions into our bathroom remodel. We will definitely be back when its time for the kitchen. Thank you Castle Tile & Kimmara!

Kimmara was very helpful and spent a lot of time with us selecting the right tile. The contractor underestimated the amount of tile we needed in our shower and we ended up being short a couple of pieces. Kimmara found us a couple of pieces of sample tile which saved us from delaying the finish since the tile had to come all the way from Florida. Everyone else we dealt with on the phone was very professional and helpful as well.

We recently purchased a new (to us) home in Costa Mesa and wanted to get some tiling work done before we moved in. Kimmora at Castle Tile was super accommodating and a huge help in coordinating everything. She allowed me to pick some sample tiles and keep them for a bit, and the process between her and our tile guy was seamless. We are incredibly happy with the tile and tile-related decisions that we made and Castle Tile was great to deal with. When we end up doing more tile work - there's always something, right? - we'll come straight back here.

Kimmora was a life saver! After realizing our backyard was going to be short by 4 boxes of American Olean Infusion Beige Wege tile I went on a massive man hunt trying to find these 4 boxes. After a week of despair and not being able to wait a 3week turnaround time I finally decided to start calling American Olean retail distributors 5th call I contacted American Olean. Kimmora was delightfully pleasant on the phone contacted her reps at the warehouse found it in stock called me and wanted me to check it out to ensure it was the proper color match as some vendors relabel color codes and if it didnt match she would refund me. Sure enough start of phone call to charging my credit card took less then 30 minutes. I drove to Anaheim and picked up my purchase at the warehouse. I think I spent more time in traffic on the 91 then the 30 minute phone call and the guys at the warehouse getting the tile in my car! Definitely a pleasure and a delight. Fantastic customer service and I HIGHLEY recommend anyone who is needing tile or anything done contact them first!

Does Castle Tile offer cutouts for sinks, cooktops, or other elements?
Yes, like most professional contractors in the market, Castle Tile performs cutouts and countertop preparation for various components — both standard and modern. According to our findings, these services are typically included in the overall project estimate.
The standard scope usually covers cutouts for sinks (undermount, drop-in, or farmhouse) and holes for faucets or other plumbing fixtures. Additional cutouts — such as for cooktops, hidden or pop-up outlets, built-in wireless chargers, or other accessories — are discussed individually at the project planning and estimating stage.
It’s important to note that while the cutouts and countertop preparation are usually performed by the company, the installation of electrical and plumbing fixtures (such as faucets, outlets, or appliances) may not be included in their scope of work and could require licensed professionals. We recommend clarifying this point when placing your order.
To avoid misunderstandings, ask for a detailed estimate with a breakdown of all services: cutout pricing, installation, and any add-on options. This will ensure project transparency and help you clearly understand what you're paying for.
What guarantees does Castle Tile provide for its work?
According to our information and industry practice, Castle Tile, like most participants in the ranking, provides a workmanship warranty valid for 1 year from the date of countertop installation. This period is usually specified in the contract. We do not rule out that the company may have extended warranty terms (2 years or more), however, during our research, we did not receive confirmed data from the contractor regarding the duration and scope of its warranty.
The contractor’s warranty covers defects in fabrication and installation, such as uneven or separating seams, leveling and fastening issues, detachment or sagging of an undermount sink, flaws in edge finishing and cutouts, premature failure of seam materials, and cutouts that do not match the approved design. Warranty coverage does not include damage from use (thermal shock/burn marks from hot cookware, chips or cracks caused by impacts), stains and acid etching (for marble), wear due to insufficient maintenance or lack of sealing, natural characteristics of stone (veins, micro-pores, variations in shade/pattern within tolerances), shifts caused by base deformation, or any modifications performed by third parties.
The material warranty is provided by the manufacturer or the official stone supplier. Engineered quartz brands often offer a limited “lifetime” warranty for residential properties (subject to registration and compliance with care guidelines). For sintered surfaces, typical warranty periods range from 10 to 25 years. Natural stone usually does not come with a factory warranty — its quality of fabrication and installation is covered by the contractor’s warranty.
The term and scope of the warranty depend on the project and materials — contact Castle Tile in any convenient way on this page to get the current terms.
