Who We Are
California Tile & Stone was founded in Gilroy in 2006 by Juan Villarreal, a licensed contractor with more than 30 years of hands-on experience in tile and stone. What started as a small installation business has grown into a 20-person team with a fully equipped fabrication shop and a track record of more than 5,000 completed projects across Silicon Valley and the Bay Area.
Our work spans custom slab countertop fabrication for gourmet kitchens, spa-inspired bathroom remodels, full outdoor hardscape installations, pool tile and coping, and monumental stone fireplace surrounds.
We work with homeowners undertaking high-end renovations and with general contractors who need a reliable trade partner for their most detail-sensitive jobs. Either way, the standard is the same: clean work, accurate timelines, and no subcontractors on your project.
What sets us apart is our complete command of both tile and stone under one roof. Our Gilroy fabrication shop handles digital templating and precision CNC slab work, while our tile crews bring the same standard to every floor, shower, backsplash, and hardscape installation. Dual in-house capability means one point of contact, one schedule, and consistent quality from slab to grout line. We also fabricate in specialty thicknesses, including ultra-thin 6mm panels, that most contractors cannot handle. Learn more on our Materials page.
On the tile side, our crews bring the same level of precision to every tile installation, from intricate mosaic work and large-format porcelain to waterproofed shower systems and outdoor hardscape. One company handles your slab fabrication, your tile installation, and every surface in between — which means tighter timelines, fewer coordination gaps, and one warranty covering all of it. Learn more on our Materials page.
As a proud member of the National Stone Institute and the TCNA (Tile Council of North America), we hold ourselves to the highest professional standards. Every project carries our two-year workmanship warranty, and our commitment to client satisfaction extends well beyond the final walkthrough.

Our Tile & Stone Services
From precision slab fabrication to luxury tile installation, our specialized crews deliver comprehensive tile and stone services for every room in your home and beyond. Visit our Services page for complete details.
Full Tile and Stone Capability Under One Roof
Most contractors specialize in one area. A fabrication shop cuts your stone slabs but doesn’t install tile. A tile crew handles floors and showers but can’t fabricate your countertops. You’re left coordinating two separate contractors, two schedules, and two sets of expectations.
We do both.
Our Gilroy fabrication shop is equipped with digital laser templating, CNC cutting machinery, and Slabsmith 2D and 3D slab rendering software. Before a single cut is made, you can see exactly how your slab will be laid, including vein matching, bookmatching, and seam placement.
On the tile side, the same standard applies. Our installation crews handle everything from large-format porcelain floors and waterproofed shower systems to intricate mosaic work and outdoor hardscape.
One company. One point of contact. One warranty.
A Trade Partner for General Contractors
California Tile & Stone works with some of the most respected builders and general contractors in Silicon Valley. When schedule, precision, and accountability matter, these companies come back to us.
Our Installation Process
Because we handle both tile and stone in-house, your project benefits from two streamlined processes under one roof, reducing timelines, eliminating miscommunication, and delivering a cohesive result.
Stone & Slab Track
01
Consultation & Project Evaluation
Every project begins with an in-home consultation where we assess the scope of work, discuss your design vision, take precise measurements, and provide a detailed written estimate, all at no cost within our service area.
02
Digital Templating
Our team uses digital laser templating technology to capture exact measurements of your countertops, vanities, or surfaces. This data feeds directly into our Slabsmith 2D and 3D rendering software, allowing you to preview slab placement, vein direction, and seam locations before fabrication begins.
03
CNC Slab Fabrication
In our Gilroy fabrication shop, your slabs are precision-cut using CNC machinery. Edge profiles are shaped and polished, cutouts for sinks and cooktops are executed with extreme precision, and every piece is quality-checked before leaving the shop. We handle specialty thicknesses, including ultra-thin 6mm panels, that most contractors cannot fabricate.
04
Professional Installation
Our dedicated crews handle every installation personally, never using subcontractors. Each crew is led by a seasoned installer trained in our methods, ensuring consistent quality for slab countertops, vanity tops, fireplace surrounds, and more.
05
Final Walkthrough & Warranty
After installation, we conduct a thorough walkthrough with you to review every detail. Your project is backed by our two-year workmanship warranty, and our team remains available for any questions or maintenance needs.
Tile Track
01
Consultation & Project Evaluation
Every tile project begins with an in-home consultation where we evaluate the space, assess substrate conditions, discuss material options and layout preferences, and provide a detailed written estimate, all at no cost within our service area.
02
Substrate Preparation
Proper substrate preparation is the foundation of every lasting tile installation. Our crews handle waterproofing membranes, mortar base with uncoupling membrane, floor leveling, and any structural corrections needed to ensure a perfectly flat, stable surface ready for tile.
03
Layout Approval Process
Before any tile is set, we dry-lay the design on-site to confirm pattern direction, grout joint alignment, symmetry around focal points, and cut placement at edges and transitions. You review and approve the final layout before installation begins.
04
Installation
Our dedicated crews handle every tile installation personally, never using subcontractors. Each installer is trained in our methods for consistent alignment, uniform spacing, and clean finish work across floors, walls, showers, backsplashes, and outdoor surfaces.
05
Final Walkthrough & Warranty
After grouting and final cleanup, we conduct a thorough walkthrough with you to inspect every grout line, edge detail, and transition. Your project is backed by our two-year workmanship warranty, and our team remains available for any follow-up needs.
