Established in 2003, TileDepot has proudly built an impeccable reputation for service, quality, and tradition throughout Northern California.

Founder José Candia first arrived in California in 1968 as an international student to attend the University of the Pacific in Stockton. He later earned his BBA from Baylor University and a Master’s in Global Management (MIM) from the prestigious Thunderbird School of Global Management in Arizona.

In 1974, José returned to his native Bolivia, where he built a successful career in marketing and manufacturing. But his dream of returning to California to start his own business never faded.

In 2003, José and his wife Evelyn (married since 1978) turned that dream into a reality, opening a retail store in San Jose, in the heart of Silicon Valley. Their vision: to showcase the rich natural stones of the Andes and launch Evelyn’s line of kitchen decor.

Today, TileDepot has become a premier destination for high-quality surfaces and finishes. Our showroom in San Jose, California, features:

  • Porcelain tile for walls and floors
  • Countertops and backsplashes
  • Natural stone and hardscaping solutions
  • Sinks and kitchen decor
  • Professional installation tools and accessories
