Creation Stone LLC

I had a really positive experience with Habib. He retiled several areas in my bathroom — in the shower and around the bathtub. The work looks seamless. He also removed the wood baseboard and added tile baseboard. I am very detail oriented and I found the work was exemplary. I found that Habib was also a pleasure to communicate with. I was very comfortable with him in my home!

At the completion of the project, I was a satisfied customer and Habib was a pleasure to work with… in person.
Unfortunately, the beginning of the project was a bit of cluster and there were too many cooks in the kitchen, which created problems communicating. The project was to replace a fireplace in our family room and kitchen and we worked with a general contractor for the installation and structural elements and he recommended Creation Stone for the tiling portion of the project.
What was difficult as the customer was understanding where the general contractor’s job left off and Habib’s began and where, as the customer, we fit in the process. In particular, we were stuck trying to locate some materials (a large slab) for the job. The general contractor told us to work with the tiling contractor, but we weren’t getting return calls in a timely fashion, and then things stalled.
And this would be a good time to throw myself under the bus. I am ‘particular’ and want everything just right, so from a vendor’s perspective, I’m probably not the easiest client. We’re not talking Veruca Salt levels of «I Want it Now!“[1]. More like, please call me back and explain why is this so difficult?
After a fruitless search for the mythical slab, I ended up changing the materials to items easier to locate, designed the project and placed the order myself. So, I didn’t have the same experience described by another reviewer. There wasn’t a lot of hand holding or visiting showrooms together in our case.
When it was time to begin the installation, everything went pretty smoothly from there. Due to some structural limitations, our contractor had to place our fireplace in an odd location so that made things a little more challenging when it came to tiling (Seriously. This was the story of this project). Habib made adjustments and in the end, the results were beautiful. I also appreciated that when he made an error during part of the installation, he made it right.
So, if you have materials in hand and are looking for quality installation, I definitely recommend Creation Stone. If you are looking for someone to waive a magic wand and poof have everything completely done the next day, then adjust your expectations. After all, none of us wants to be a ‘bad egg’.

Habib did such an amazing job on our backsplash. He was professional and always on time. I was fairly nervous hiring someone because I am as DIY guy but this job was just too big and time consuming. I couldn’t have been happier… I will be using Habib in the future.

Due to water getting behind tile which had been installed 40+ years ago around our bathroom tub, we needed to have the wall and tile replaced. Habib installed the tile, and he did an excellent job! We are very happy with his work and highly recommend him!

The guy tried to quote nearly $ 6,000 for a simple, tiny, basic square job with simple tiles and no accents.
WTF?!
He tried to manipulate my fiancée because she’s a blond woman in a nice house in a really nice neighborhood.
Here’s the thing — I’ve done tilesetting and have friends who do this for a living. Also, there are online calculators that show how much this costs in your zip code, based on data.
This guy tried to charge literally FOUR TIMES the going rate that LICENSED BONDED INSURED LONG-​TERM-​EXPERIENCED-​JOURNEYMEN charge.
Four times as expensive as someone with **more** experience.
Craigslist and
are your friends.
This guy is not. He wasted our time and tried to absolutely fleece us.
No way he would have tried this with me in the room; I would have laughed him out of the building.
Look elsewhere. This guy is a ripoff artist. Very, very unhappy with him.

Habib was referred to us by friends as being an experienced and artistic tiler. They were sure right about that! We were pleased with the results of our bathroom remodel. Habib was courteous, complete in his work, and reasonably priced. Our tiling plan was finished in timely fashion, with perfect results.

Habib was great! He was fast, clean and courteous. He did a beautiful job on our bathroom. His price was very reasonable. If I could, I would have him tile the whole house!
