"I admit I am super particular!   I have a difficult time having contractors and workers in my home and especially when I'm not there.  Chris was extremely professional, punctual, unbelievably tidy and trustworthy that I can't wait to do another project!  I am thrilled with his work - it is perfect!!!!   My kitchen and bathroom look amazing and simply could not be happier.  I will try to upload photos when I finish painting etc.  Such a hard worker - I would have to highly recommend!   THANK YOU!!  A+++"

"My Husband Tim and I would like to express our appreciation for the work you did installing the tile backsplash in our kitchen. The quality of your work, your work ethic, and your customer service skills are beyond reproach.

 

From our initial contact you provided honest, concrete answers to our questions. Once we had your estimate in hand and agreed to have you do the work, you came for another visit to answer our questions regarding tile selection and particulars with regard to placement.

 

After our countertops  were installed we contacted you to arrange a time to begin work and you were able to schedule us in a timely fashion. Upon arriving for the first day's work, it came as a surprise to us that the previous workers had not sufficiently removed the old backsplash in a manner which would allow you to begin installation. You very professionally explained what more was required and without complaint set about to correct the situation. The entirely of your service proved to be similar.

 

Each day you arrived early and worked steadfastly until the day's work was complete. I don't believe I witnessed you take a single break. You cleaned up nicely at the end of each day. Most importantly, the work you did was beautiful! The entire experience of having you in our home was more that satisfactory.

 

Very, rarely do I see fit to formally acknowledge the quality of service rendered, but your company deserves commendation. Please feel free to use my Husband and I as references for your future  jobs. We will be more than happy to share our experience. Thank you again for the excellent quality of service you provide!"

Excellent service!

What is excellent service?

One; answer the phone when a customer calls.  Chris answered right away.  Two; make an appointment committment on the spot.  Chris offered to come the next day to do the job.  I wasn't availble so we worked out a time for a couple days later that was convienient for me.  Three; show up and show up on time.  He was there at the appointed time on the dot.  Four; come prepared to do the job.  He had all the needed tools, materials and he allowed enough time to complete the job.  No excuses.  No running to the store for something.  No problems!

Chris' craftsmanship was also excellent.  This was a minor tile job, about 10 square feet in a shower surround.  It had to be spaced and positioned to match the adjacent existing tile.  It was perfect.  He's clearly very skilled.

He was polite and personable.  He listened carefully when we discussed what I wanted.

I highly recomend Chris of Trans Bay Tile!  He exceeded my expectations.  I will have him come back to artfully install a bathroom vanity top soon.

I found Chris through the Yelp reviews.  Nice to find the reviews so accurate.  Chris returned my call quickly, made an appointment to fit my schedule, gave me a quote lower than two other tile setters, and completed the job on time.  What else could you ask?  He even removed and replaced the molding.  He worked with me to use the tiles that I had purchased elsewhere.  Highly recommended! Thanks!

Chris just finished a bathroom remodel for us.  We did the demo and had purchased the tile (subway and marble), the fixtures, toilet and pedestal sink.  Chris handled the installation.  His tile work is beautiful, a true craftsman.  He shows up on time,  works hard and cleans up afterward.  He's a pro. Plus his prices are great!  We couldn't be happier and plan to use Chris on our other bathroom. Highly recommended.

Contacted Chris and he can out to give us an estimate within two days. My wife mixed him up with a similar business name and they did not return our call. After several estimates and references we went with Trans Bay Tile and they did a wonderful job. They were very neat and the work was excellent. Word of mouth is the way to go with this small gem!

Second time that I have used Chris. The first time was about 2 years ago in my current home. Have lived with his work for that same amount of time and I am still amazed at the workmanship. Just bought another large extreme fixer for my next home and didn't even bother to bid it out to others. I even slipped and told him that and his price was still excellent. His communication skills, promptness, quality, follow through, etc are second to none. I could go on and on but I'm still trying to complete the beast that I started and I am beat. The home is not even occupied but is already receiving rave reviews on  his workmanship.. Thanks again Chris...

Chris has done several jobs for us, 2 bathrooms, kitchen floor, family room floor and fireplace.  He is always on time, clean, efficient, the work is beautiful. I would recommend him for anyone, he has worked on 3 girlfriends home and my hair dressers home, they were very happy with his work. Our pictures show up on his website and they look really good.

Chris did a complete shower install for us.  We took the bathroom down to the studs and Chris put up new hardi backer board and installed white subway tile around the tub and window.  His price was unbeatable, and his work is beautiful.  He is very professional, and cleans up each day after he is finished.  To top it off, he is a very nice and pleasant man.   I can't say enough about how pleased I am with his work.  I would hire him again without hesitation

Excellent!  
I am not one that finds strangers and workers in my home a comfy or easy experience even when I have hired them.  Chris is professional, punctual, tidy, fairly priced.  His work is perfect, absolutely perfect!   Sorry Chris, but it's true!   I highly recommend and I don't believe you will be disappointed!  My bathroom and kitchen came out amazing!   Check out his website and pics... See for yourself    :)

I found Trans Bay Tile through Yelp. I emailed and heard back right away. Chris the owner was very professional. Was on time and did a great job. I would definitely use Trans Bay Tile again. I love my kitchen Backsplash and could not be happier with the outcome. Thank you Trans Bay Tile!!

Everything that others have said is true. Chris just completely re-did both of my bathrooms, including creating a custom shower pan and tiling the walls and floors. He was diligent, communicative and very detail oriented. I'm pretty picky, and he checked with my about layout issues and other decisions throughout the process so that there was no question that I had the work done to my liking. He was helpful when it came to suggestions on what would look best (and was right on every time).

Moreover, Chris is a nice, trustworthy, reliable guy and I had no concerns about leaving him alone in my home while my husband and I were at work. He was not the cheapest bid but it was totally worth the little extra money to have his help. My only criticism; he likes to start his work day bright and early, so there was no sleeping in for those 2 weeks, lol!

Thank you so much, Chris -- you are an expert craftsman and an all around great guy. We love our new bathrooms!

I contacted Chris via email to schedule an appointment for the purpose of getting a quote for my bathroom and kitchen remodel...  he was quick to reply and arrived on time the very next day. Friendly, detailed and seemingly quite experienced.  He gave me numerous suggestions such that the remodel has a better chance of being perfect.  2 Thumbs Up!!!

My husband and I had Chris do the tile on the floor, and in the shower in our guest bathroom, and floor tile in our Master bath.  I really cannot say enough good things about him and his work.  He is very conscientious about his work, really amenable and he was patient working around my 3 kids who would try to ask him questions.  I would not hesitate to recommend him or his work.  My parents are even planning on calling him about their bathroom renovations.  One thing, specifically, was a breath of fresh air, is that he when he spoke about the work, he spoke to me exactly like he spoke to my husband.  I am so used to these older workmen who, because I'm a women, are pretty condescending or are just creepy to have in your home.  Chris is non of those.  He helped to talk through ideas with me, he was super quick in responding to my emails about the job and ideas I had about the tile or vanity etc.  Such a nice guy!  And you can really tell, he takes pride in the work he does.

Chris deserves 10 stars if they were available!  He is reliable, trustworthy and an expert craftsman (and his pricing is competitive).  Chris updated both of our bathrooms with new tile surrounds and a custom built tile shower pan in our master bath.  He installed accent tile stripes and niches in the walls for shampoo, etc.  Chris worked quickly and efficiently and always cleaned up at the end of each day.  We are thrilled with the new look!

Thank you Chris for your outstanding work!

Chris tiled up a fireplace for us. It was a project that was relatively straight forward and Chris handled it very nicely. He came over within 24 hours of being contacted to give us a bid. He completed the job in two days and left the house as clean as when he arrived. I would not hesitate to call him again for our next tile project. Nice Job!
