Carmel Stone has a terrific supply of slabs and tile. I worked with Mark C when he was in the Palo Alto location, and he helped me select slabs for kitchen, bath, and outdoor kitchen countertops, and tiles for a bathroom shower and floor. He was knowledgable, patient, and has a good eye for design. He made the process very comfortable. Everyone at the shop was friendly too. I definitely recommend shopping here, as the people who work here guide you through the many options so that you are not overwhelmed, and you find something right for your project.

Reviews
I love this place. I work with Mark and Zander and I can't say enough. If you don't see it in their showroom, they can pull a book and show you even more, or order what you've seen. I wish I could go hang out there every day, I guess it inspires my artistic side.
I am a kitchen and bath contractor on The Monterey Peninsula. I often use Carmel Stone Imports to assist in a variety of ways with the details of tile selection, countertops and backsplash.
They also have a large inventory of flooring options that help create an one of a kind space.
We send our clients straight to Megan Dole in the Sand City location for design help and material selection.
They gain a confidence and understanding of the products offered today on the market. Megan at Carmel Stone Imports is an integral part of our process.
My recommendation of them may be directed at both contractors and consumers. I am truly grateful to have the support they offer.… read full review
