The problem

Bad tile work does not show up on day one.
It shows up a year later.

By then the installer has stopped answering, and you are the one living with it.

01

Rushed prep, hidden problems

Uneven walls, skipped steps and shortcuts behind the tile. It looks fine at handover, then grout cracks, tiles sound hollow and water finds a way in.

02

Crooked lines you cannot unsee

Lippage on large format tile, slivers in the corners, a niche that sits off center. Small misses that catch your eye every single morning.

03

Contractors who go quiet

A different crew each day, no updates, and surprises on the invoice. You never quite know who is in your home or what happens next.

The best part of the job is the part you never see.

A beautiful finish is the easy bit to photograph. What keeps it beautiful is everything that happens before the first tile goes up.

Good questions

Before you call

Are you licensed and bonded?

Yes. Fuentes Elite Construction Corp holds California contractor license #1146268 with a C-54 Ceramic and Mosaic Tile classification, and has a contractor's bond on file. You can verify it anytime on the CSLB website.

Who actually does the work?

Ivan does. The person you meet at the estimate is the person setting your tile, so nothing gets lost between a salesperson and a crew.

Do you charge for estimates?

No. Estimates are free and there is no pressure to commit.

Can I supply my own tile?

Yes. Bring what you have picked out, or ask Ivan for guidance on what will work best in your space and budget.

How long does a shower or bathroom take?

It depends on the size, the tile and what is found behind the old surface. You get a realistic timeline with your estimate, and updates if anything changes.

What if you find a problem behind the wall?

Ivan will show you what he is seeing, explain your options and let you decide how to move forward. Nothing gets covered up and nothing gets added without your say.
