Carlos Audero, owner of Simply Tiles Design Center, Taty, designer and their team remodeled our kitchen, bathroom and updated rooms. Carlos and his entire team took a 1950’s house with a badly designed addition and turned it into a 21st century home. Taty is a very talented designer. She designed a kitchen that incorporated all elements that are necessary for a well-functioning kitchen. The design of the kitchen is a joy to work in on a daily basis. Hector Vazquez and his team built and installed the custom cabinets. Their high-quality craftsmanship is beyond compare. They were able to install cabinets and molding in a kitchen with crooked walls and unusual dimensions. The final result are beautiful cabinets that will stand the test of time. Carlos’ crew that installed the countertops and tile were exceptionally skilled and experienced at their craft. Giovanni and his team delivered high quality work which included painting, repairing walls, baseboards, molding that was an essential element to updating our home. Jorge’s and his crews’ skills and experience were crucial to having a well-functioning 21st century kitchen and bathroom. The high-quality craftsmanship, professionalism and talent of Carlos’ team and Taty is exceptional. The project was completed within our budget with no hidden costs. We are grateful to Carlos, Taty, Hector, Jorge, Giovanni and the entire team for their hard work, expertise and talent in turning our dream into a reality. We highly recommend Carlos and his team for all your home remodeling needs.

We just had the crew fom Simply Tiles complete a major outdoor terrace project for us, and we literally could not be happier with the result. Carlos, Matius, and the crew were incredibly conscientous, polite, prompt and followed through with the contract we had with them. They cleaned up every day before they left, and were here as scheduled everyday for over 4 weeks. We could not recommend them more highly, and will most certainbly use them on our next project.

Our overall experience with Simply Tiles was impressive. Everyone involved was extremely helpful in the process of renovating our boys’ bathroom. Taty gave us great advice in selecting the tiles. Sebastian was always helpful with the invoicing and payments. Matias was polite and professional in the set up and finishing of the project. And Carlos, the owner, worked with us regularly to make sure that we were always in the know of exactly what was happening on the job. He would constantly update us through text messaging and phone calls. I never felt like I didn’t know what was happening with the work. He would offer suggestions without being pushy. And there were no hidden surprises in regards to pricing. They renovated our downstairs bathroom nine years ago, just finished a second bathroom last week. We’d be more than happy to use them again in the future.

Working with everyone at Simply Tiles was wonderful from the start for the complete remodel of our guest bathroom. Taty's suggestions made selection of materials and fixtures painless, and the results were beautiful. Carlos and Matias oversaw and coordinated the work to accommodate our schedules. Their crew were skilled, and the tilework was very precise. They all were very personable and professional. Thank you for a job well done!

My parents recently had their condo floors tiled by Simply Tiles Design Center, and they were very pleased with the outcome. Carlos, our project manager, was professional and helpful throughout the process. He provided clear quotes (even bringing a team member for a second visit to ensure accuracy), offered expert advice on tile selection, and even assisted us with navigating some minor hurdles related to our building's HOA rules. We interfaced with other members of his team at the shop and everyone was friendly, professional and helpful. The installation team did a great job, and our parents are satisfied with their new floors. This is actually my 2nd time working with Simply Tiles - I had my kitchen and bathroom tiles in my own home several years earlier. I highly recommend Simply Tiles Design Center for their professionalism, quality workmanship, and exceptional customer service and I see myself choosing Simply Tiles again in the future.

I 100% CAN NOT recommend Simply tiles. We had them install our bathroom several years ago. The shower wall tiles started to crack and now I found that the toilet had been improperly installed and has been leaking sewer liquid under the floor for years. I now have to 100% remodel the entire bathroom that was just remodeled 5 years ago. This involves the poor craftsmanship of the installation. Prior to COVID Carlos had agreed to fix the tiles, then COVID hit and everything stopped. Now Carlos doesn't remember our agreement and says he only provides a 1 year warranty anyway. Lesson learned, always keep EVERYTHING in writing since Carlos does not honor his word. We trusted Simply Tiles to redo our bathroom and paid them handsomely for it, now every bit they touched has broken 5 years later. I would STRONGLY advise looking for another vendor. I now have to pay yet again to fix Simply Tiles $12,000 mistake. Posted by a real person, who used Simply Tiles, and got screwed by Carlos (the owner!)

I've worked with Taty and her team for over 10years with most of our custom hillside ground up projects and still have not found better people to work with than them. Not only do they have a huge selection of tile and finishes but their professionalism, quality and customer service is what keeps us working closely together. They go above and beyond to make sure we get taken care of when construction doesn't always go as planned. The experience we've had working together gives us full trust in keeping our clients and projects happy and moving forward with them. We are grateful to have people we can confide in when design needs to be improvised and appreciate what they do for their customers. We've worked with many showrooms and distributors in LA over the years and still they are our #1 highly recommended source and don't see that changing any time soon. :)

My husband and I were personally customers of Simply Tiles back in 2009 when we were remodeling one of our bathrooms in our house in Rolling Hills Estates. They did a great job with the marble on the counter and in the bath/shower area and even widened the door area as my mother was coming to live with us and we needed a wider opening for her to get through with a wheelchair. Carlos and his designer were knowledgeable, dependable, creative and did an outstanding job. Since then we sold our home and are now in a townhome in Redondo Beach. Being on the HOA Board we called Carlos at Simply Tiles and they did an amazing job on two balconies that needed repair at the complex and also new tile was needed on them. Again, had a very positive experience and outcome with Simply Tiles. The staff was always on top of everything that was needed, and always there to answer questions. I highly recommend them!!!

I highly recommend this place. Although the shop is relatively small, they have a very nice selection and I have found the tiles I like after visiting 6 different stores. The rep was super friendly and knowledgeble and explained what I would need even though my project was relatively small. In fact, she was the only person who gave me an approximate square footage without exact measurements.

As a local contractor, I would highly recommend Simply Tile. Carlos was professional, very reliable and a pleasure to work with. Matias and Taty, the designer, were also extremely helpful and had great ideas. The entire crew did an amazing job on our bathroom, showed up on time every day, cleaned up daily and the workmanship was top notch.

The Simply Tiles team just installed limestone baseboards with limestone flooring in my home. The baseboards complete the design and the effect in my kitchen, dining room and living room is outstanding. We love the natural colors and subtlety of limestone and Simply Tiles installers did a great job making sure all aspects of the project worked out perfectly!

Simply Tiles recently completed several tile projects at my home and they did a thoroughly amazing job! The projects included: demolishing the existing hardwood floors and installing new mission style terra cotta tile floors in the living room, dining room, and foyer; removing the carpet on the interior staircase and installing red oak treads and decorative tiles on the risers; tiling over the brick fireplace in the living room with decorative tiles; and plastering the adobe style fireplace in the master bedroom from floor to ceiling with a smooth surface and installing decorative tiles around the opening of the fireplace. I was very worried about how the work would turn out but in the end, I could not be happier with the results - they exceeded my expectations! The cost for their work was reasonable. I had obtained estimates from several tile contractors for the work and while Simply Tiles was not the cheapest, their price was very close to the less expensive contractors who did not have as good credentials or as much experience as Simply Tiles. Simply Tiles was also the only tile contractor who came highly recommended to me by friends who used Simply Tiles to tile their bathrooms and kitchens. Simply Tiles is run by Carlos Audero, a licensed, bonded and insured tile contractor with the California Contractors State License Board, with many years of experience in the business. Carlos supervised all of the work himself along with his foreman Daniel. The laborers who cut and installed the tiles were all very experienced and competent and clearly knew exactly what they were doing. They were also all very professional, polite and courteous and always cleaned up well after each project. Carlos and his wife, Marisa, are wonderful people with whom to work. They immediately responded to all of my questions and concerns. They instantly addressed and resolved the few issues I had to my complete satisfaction. I am very glad I went with Simply Tiles and I will absolutely use them again for my next tile project.
