Russo Tile & Marble

Russo Tile & Marble handles tile and stone work out of El Cajon. Rick Russo runs the operation as president after starting the company thirty years ago. Mallory Homan serves as project and office manager and has been on board for nineteen years handling estimates, material orders, scheduling, and accounts. The crew focuses on countertops for kitchens, bathrooms, fireplaces, and outdoor setups using materials like quartzite along with fabrication details such as miter returns and integrated sinks.

Homeowners and designers call on them for full countertop installs where the team explains cuts ahead of time and works alongside the main contractor on site. Reviews mention projects that needed extra attention to edges and finishes so the end result looked built in rather than rushed. One kitchen designer noted the shop takes on field conditions and custom details that other fabricators turn down while still hitting the agreed schedule.

The crew stays in close contact with clients and contractors throughout each job. They walk through options on design choices that affect long term appearance and avoid shortcuts that could show up later. Communication covers every step from material arrival to final placement so everyone knows what to expect before work begins.

Two reviews give the shop full marks for quality of work and level of detail on stone projects. Both highlight how Rick, Mallory, and Gino handle collaboration and follow through on fabrication that meets the original plan.

“I can’t say enough good things about the quality and their employees. Rick and Mallory and the whole team were seriously the best. They really care about the final product and made sure I understood everything before they made cuts. I appreciated their expertise on design to make it look high quality instead of just cutting corners on a quick fix as most other vendor may do. They worked really well with my contractor and were able to collaborate together. Seriously top notch! You could tell the level of detail that they are experts in their craft and work. They treated me with the same care that they would for their own family!”

“i'm a professional kitchen designer and have been working with Russo Tile and Marble for the past 15 years. Both brothers, Rick and Gino are a pleasure to work with. I have found their craftsmanship to be excellent and they are happy to do a level of detail that others shy away from. They meet their deadlines and are always willing to work with me if we have an interesting field condition etc. I would recommend them without hesitation to anyone in need of quality stone fabrication.”
