Andrea’s Natural Marble & Stone Company

We worked with them for over a month and a half on granite and at first they were very helpful. At their request we went to two different Granite Yards and picked out slabs and reserved them. We verified pricing on the phone multiple times and communicated with them throughout. I spoke with both Andrea and his father John.
When it came to the contract. I noticed that instead of listing the granite in centimeters like we had the entire time it had it in inches. When I converted it to cm it was not the thickness we had agreed upon. When I pointed that out, they said that I must have misunderstood and that I had reserved granite in the thinner slab. They even sent me an invoice of the Granite that I had supposedly chosen. The picture they sent me had the invoice number covered by a pen. I had a picture of my actual invoice which was completely different with the thicker slab size reserved. They said it was a misunderstanding and that it was the yards fault and that is why they were about to fabricate the wrong granite.
Andrea stated that he would make it right and that we needed to go reserve the thinner size and return the yard a third time. He stated that it was a misunderstanding about the pricing but he would honor the original price that we had agreed upon and «make it right.» He then said that he would have a new contract out to us immediately. Within days we had the new granite picked out. A week passed and we have not received the contract. We were attempting to contact them daily. At one point Andrea told us that he was working on the contract on Wednesday and would have it to us Thursday. On Friday when I still hadn’t received the contract I contacted the company again. This time I was told by John that they could not do the job anymore and that once again I had misunderstood and that his son had never committed to sending the contract. I was then hung up on.
We were never anything but polite to them. Even when they started to do things that could have been considered shady I give them the benefit of the doubt. I’m very disappointed in this company and the way that they handle their customers.

I approached Andrea’s with a simple request: recommend a type of marble for a broken table and provide a price for replacement. The first person I spoke with on the phone seemed very helpful and I followed up with an email with pics. That was the last I heard from them, and I wasted three days waiting. When I called back, the person who answered barely spoke English and kept referring to «repairing» the table, which isn’t remotely possible, and finally cut me off with a «Fuggetaboudit». Jerks. I then called Fox Marble and spoke with a professional, helpful person, the antithesis of the people at Andrea’s.

Andrea is a modern day Michelangelo!
Within the simple, modest demeanor of Andrea, is the mind of an artistic genius.
We asked him to do the counters for a kitchen and throughout the process Andrea was patient, thoughtful and imaginative.
I posted a pic of the book matched center island which is truly a work of art. His final master’s touch was etching grooves next to the sink which serves as a refined drain board.
We now have him working on several projects for our Nob Hill penthouse.
In this time of mass production marble factories, if you truly want and appreciate highest quality, Andrea’s Marble is in a class ahead of all others.

Giovanni, Andrea and their team have done a few projects for me, most recently installed new countertops in my kitchen, including a waterfall edge. The process is old-​school and detail oriented. Andrea came out to my house and used thin wood (balsawood?) to make an exact template of my counters, then I went to the shop and we laid it out together on the slab to get the veins exactly how I wanted them. The counters were installed a couple of days later, WAY ahead of schedule, and look amazing.
They do work for some of the fanciest hotels and commercial properties in the Bay Area, and also some of the nicest homes, but they have always found time to treat with kindness respect whether my job was $ 200 or $ 6000. I wish I could work with them again and again.
As a side note, Andrea also does stone carving and they have an assortment of carved fireplace mantles in the shop.

I was very insecure about adding countertops to my kitchen with no prior renovation experience, and no design eye. I received several quotes from reliable vendors, but found the high touch approach of Andrea and his team were second to none. I could not be more pleased with the precision, the follow-​up, the above and beyond consultation I’ve received and their craftsmanship. Andrea hires the best, will personally measure the space to perfection and stay on top of the project communicating every step of the way. Could not recommend them more.

I had a very good experience with Giovanni (owner) and Jose (employee). Giovanni was prompt in responding to emails and returning calls. Jose came out to measure and template the area and also did installation. Pieces fit perfectly. I would definitely use them again for marble installation.

I worked there for a short time and have to say the employment atmosphere was extremely hostile. Giovanni is a good man but his daughter was a tyrant and abusive most of the time. I was laid off the day before Christmas after confronting Anna on her abusive and hostile attitude. Unprofessional office, shop personnel were dis-​respective of owner and the lead installer constantly threatened to quit. Giovanni did great work but his staff was poor.

I wanted a bar for our house so I scoured Craigslist until I found a great piece offered at a fair price. I jumped on the opportunity before realizing the top was laminate and not marble. Needless to say, one cocktail later and the top was stained & ruined. After several months of trying to decide what to do, I called and talked to Andrea (thanks Unilocal!). He was great! He gave me a very initial quote over the phone and options for someone to come to my house or for me to meet at their warehouse. A few weeks later, I drove out to the warehouse before I realized it wasn’t exactly a storefront and truly just a warehouse. Andrea wasn’t on property but his team helped take measurements and helped me select a piece of marble that I liked. Within hours I heard back from his father Giovanni and we met and went over the design. He was attentive and helpful (given I had no clue what I was doing). Just a little over a week later, I picked up the finished product and it was perfect!

Excellent craftsmanship, friendly service and quick turnaround! I love my new marble, kitchen counter tops! Giovanni and is team, especially Jose, are incredible to work with. They exceeded the Unilocal reviews!

My husband and I needed to do a very rushed remodel on our kitchen before moving out, and we shopped around at multiple places and found Andrea’s to be the best value, fastest service and greatest customer service. We were not easy customers as we needed everything to be expedited and we have really busy schedules, but Giovanni and his team were very flexible with our needs, and did a beautiful job. They were meticulous with their installation and the quality of the work was very good. We were very grateful and we highly recommend them.

I came to these guys to get some marble for a tub deck and I was quite pleased with their company. Almost all of the other marble people would only try to sell me an entire slab. Nobody wanted to work with me to try to do the deck in pieces except Andrea and his father.
Andrea and his father really enjoy want they do and it shows in their work and the way they interact with their customers. Keep up the good work, guys!

We recently bought a condo that had marble tile in the bathroom. The tile was looking like it needed a facelift but we didn’t want to spend a lot of money. Based on the Unilocal reviews, we contacted Andrea. He came out and took a look and recommended a simple solution that wasn’t too expensive. He did the work and it looks amazing! You can tell that he loves his work — he took a lot of care to protect the rest of the room and explained to us the entire process that he would go through. Great job Andrea! We love how the marble looks — and we didn’t even need to spend a fortune. We couldn’t be happier!

Encouraged by all the positive reviews here, I called Andrea’s Natural Marble & Stone Company to see about coming to my place for an estimate.
First of all, it took several days for them to return my phone call and make the appointment.
Secondly, as I sat at home to wait for them, and nobody showed up by forty minutes after the appointment time, I called to find out what was going on. The guy who answered the phone called Andrea, who was in his car, stuck in traffic on the Bay Bridge. Nobody had thought to call me to let me know about this. While we were on the phone, I rescheduled the appointment for another day.
Thirdly, it is now two and a half hours after that rescheduled appointment. Nobody called to cancel or reschedule. They just didn’t show up.
I can’t vouch for their work, but their business practices certainly leave something to be desired.

They are fantastic! Giovanni and Andrea are so great to work with and the marble we ended up buying is gorgeous! They are responsive, flexible and they really go out of their way to give you stellar customer service. Not only that, but they had really fair prices. I looked around at many bay area natural stone and marble shops and I’m so happy I settled on Andrea’s.

We felt like we won the lottery when we stumbled upon this small, family-​owned and operated marble fabricator and installer. Giovanni and Andrea were so warm and they gave us the carrera marble countertop of our dreams. I priced out other companies and NOBODY else could even come close in price. we were able to pick out the marble personally from the factory and they did an expert job on the install. We LOVE how the waterfall came out. I personally loved working with them because they are Italian and honest and they made me feel like family. I know that I won’t work with anybody else in the future. They are the best in the Bay area! Thank you, Andrea and Giovanni. We are so grateful for everything!

Andrea’s craftsmanship is unparalleled.
Andrea goes out of his way to make sure you are happy with the final product. He helped us choose the Calacatta marble we used for our kitchen island and back splash. He suggested some stone dealers for us to look at and when we had decided on the stone he inspected the slabs and told us how many to get. He measured everything very carefully and made sure we could get the job done with just 3 slabs when it would have been much easier to do it with 4. We went to his shop on a weekend (he knew we could not make it during the week) to select the perfect seam for when the pieces meet. The result is amazing.
It does not stop there. We also needed some grey quartz/​Caesar stone type material for the counter and peninsula, and the grey had to match the marble veins just right. We had looked for some time and were having difficulty finding it. One day Andrea called us saying he had seen this material that he thought would match the marble well. We went to see it and took a marble sample to check. The color was perfect!
Andrea is certified to work with quartz as well, so he did everything… we are very happy with the result.
Plus the guy is an artist. The first time we went to his shop he was restoring an old marble statue. Amazing work, I highly recommend him.

Having managed rental properties in SF for over 20 years I’ve done numerous remodels and worked with many vendors. We needed to redo a small kitchen so we didn’t need a full slab of stone — just a remnant — which meant searching for someone who could accommodate us on a small job. Andrea was referred to me and I can’t express enough how happy I am with the results and the price. He and his father, Giovanni, helped me look through their «leftovers» and I found what looked to be a very nice piece of granite that was just right for the job. Little did I know just how beautiful this was going to be once it was in place.
Here’s what you need to know before you go: Andrea and his crew are true artisans and they love what they do, but it’s a small company that stays very busy so you might have to wait a day or two for that call back. That said, once he’s free to focus on you and your job, things happen quickly and professionally. He is a perfectionist and will go over the top to make sure everything is just right.
Oh, and about that granite countertop he made for me: It arrived perfectly cut and polished, plus they had already applied the sealant. Installation went smoothly and, afterward, when he pointed out the numerous bits of garnet, olivine and other gemstones in the granite, all I could say was «WOW»! Thanks so much guys!

Really disappointing!
First time I contacted them via phone and confirmed time for them to come out to check out our Fireplace project.
Waited and no show. Left a message no response.
Second attempt few month later. Thought let me give them another chance after I seeing all the good reviews here.
I drove there, explained what the project was and what I was looking for.
To give a better idea I drove back the next day with pictures, samples and measuremnts.
Received a quote via email. Called to confirm that we would like to go ahead with the project and also confirmed date for them to come out to take a mold.
Surprise, surprise — no show. Once again I called and left a message. Never heard back!
Not very reliable and unprofessional!

I work near the bayview near Bayshore Rd. where there’s a lot of tile & marble shops. I had a small project where I needed a couple of shelves fabricated on white marble. All the shops I walked into gave me the same story, you can buy it from us, but you have to go find somebody to cut it for you. I also had to buy a giant sheet of Marble. I was looking to make something from scraps. It was frustrating not being able to find everything I needed from one shop. I found Andreas on Unilocal.
I met Giovanni and let him know I had a small project and he took the time to chat about it and gave me a tour of the fabrication shop. The shop is full of beautiful marble pieces and they can build anything. He showed me some of their projects they are working on. It’s all very impressive. They’re true artists/​craftsmen. Giovanni gave me a great deal and had it ready within the week.
I’m looking forward to the next opportunity to work with these guys. Top notch and I’d recommend them to anybody. It was a great experience.

If you value great service, expert advice and excellent value then this is your source for granite and marble. I’ve used Andrea’s Natural Marble and Stone for three kitchen remodels and my experience has been top-​notch.
Andrea worked within my tight deadlines without breaking my budget. Andrea took the time to study the character of the building, generating his own custom edge lamination: no cookie-​cutter bullnose here. Andrea used the design of the old Edwardian trim for inspiration. When the large sinks I wanted to use demanded onsite fabrication to ensure the slabs wouldn’t break during transfer, it was no problem. His team is quick, easy to work with, on time, and tidy. He also uses the best sealer in the business. Just ask him and he’ll demo it at the shop.
The shop is family-​owned, with generations of experience, and carries a beautiful selection of stone and many remnants, which I ended up taking advantage of to great effect to upgrade some old built-​ins that I hadn’t previously considered. Andrea gave me a great deal and made sure I was happy with all the work.
I used premium black granite in my units and I get compliments from everyone who views them. I would be happy to have Andrea on my team in any future job.
