Best Tiling Washington Near You

MEL: Does anyone actually work there? This is the question I asked myself while I tried to pick up the smallest item (a mug-sized cleaning product ordered to the store as the balance of a previous paid order). I literally emailed with the person I previously worked with prior to coming in and set a date to pick it up, but still had to make two trips because this two-minute task was just too much for two employees in an empty store. It was like they had no idea what a customer would be doing in the store.

Austin Knipper: Sal's very nice and helpful, but the selection is much more limited and expensive than other tile stores, like Floor & Decor.

Jetzeell Graham: If I could give Zero stars I would. Received damaged tiles that were not replaced. On top of that, after our contractor installed the tile, we learned that they sent us the wrong tile. Check my yelp review for additional photos and info.

Christopher Dietz: As a contractor/remodeler, we recommend our clients to various vendors to select their materials for their projects. I recently did that for the Tile Shop-Tenleytown as it was the closest location for my client who lives in Scott Circle. My client told me that he had such a great experience compared to some other tile shops in the city, no names needed. When my client and I went back yesterday to finalize the purchase, we were greeted right away, they knew my clients name and what he was looking at, all without having to be reminded. We spent about 1.5 hours with Ari and his manager, Shu-nan. We had, in my personal and professional opinion, one of the best retail/vendor experiences I have had in a very long time. Keep up the great work Tile Shop, Ari and Shu-nan!

Betsy Dewey: I had the best experience and found the perfect tiles at the Rockville location. Kellen Holland provided incredible service. My aunt is an interior designer who lives in Florida and she had us running around the showroom to show her options on Facetime. Kellen was so patient, accommodating and attentive and I couldn't have been happier with the entire experience.

Robert Brotzman: Great combination of fully built bathroom displays and stand-alone samples to evoke your own vision. Two floors of storeroom with bottom floor being most expansive. An expert on each floor were friendly and helpful. My 10yo daughter even had fun in there

Kerry Burger (What's Up Kerry?): I do want to give 3.5 stars... I ordered tiles 24x24 from online and shipped to DC for the pickup. I waited for a month to get my handyman's availability time to install tiles for my kitchen floor. I made a rookie mistake for not having 10-20% backup tiles after the measurement. I came back to the store to return the broken tile from pickup and asked for more tiles. Mo was doing good at customer service with me. He pointed out tiles are discontinued. So, all of total 3 months trying to find extra tiles from other locations... Mo does great job with email communication and outreached stores. I may be difficult customer with this situation. When I got extra tiles from other stores, sadly they were chipped on some corner and edge. I asked for more tiles again in 3rd time. Mo did respectfully and found more tiles again from NY. New story came, those tiles are a little darker and 1/2 inches off compared to the original one. I tried to contact Mo again and I can tell he was probably fed up. Can't blame him. I decided to continue with chipped tiles from my 2nd story. My handyman managed to touching them up with coloring white to get over with it. Admittedly, Tile Shop do have nice choices there but after all of this experience... I learned my lesson. I will still use Tile shop again but I recommend to have 20% extra tiles just in case... Not 10%. Tile shop will pay you back if you have leftovers. After reading other people's review... half of them are right. Thank you for the patience with me.

Linda Miller: Had a good/fine experience until we discovered that our contractor had picked up all the tiles and 9 of a speciality variety were missing. When we called the warehouse they said everything was picked up so we decided to just pay for more to replace the missing tile. When ordering the tile for a second time, exactly 9 were available in stock and the rest were on back order. Clearly the 9 available at the location were our 9 missing pieces but that was impossible per the store. So we paid for tile twice just to get the situation over with.

Lili M: Unfortunately they are into wearing masks over the nose (even if you have exemption due to a medical conditions but you still wearing the mask) more than into selling the tile. Ridiculous. The seller didn’t give a heck when I explained the struggle I experience due to my breathing problems.

Janet MacLaughlin: BTC Did an outstanding job on our bathroom remodeling project in December. Chris was very dependable and easy to work with, very skilled at tiling and carpentry, and extremely knowledgeable about construction and remodeling. He delivered high quality work at a reasonable price. We plan to use BTC for another project this Spring. I highly recommend BTC for remodeling projects.

Dean Guo: We have a challenging project that requires both carpentry and leveling flagstones at our green house. Chris makes a perfect plan and does superb, beautiful job. Chris has excellent attention to detail and always kept the space clean and tidy. He is meticulous, honest, very dependable, and easy to work with. He is responsive, accurate, punctual, and finished everything as predicted. Chris Baker is the best! He has great craftmanship. We highly recommend Chris and Baker Tile & Carpentry LLC.

J. Preston Whitt: My experience with Chris was fantastic. Responsive, accurate, punctual, and finished everything as predicted. Left the site clean (as much as humanly possible after someone ripped out a floor in your bathroom and literally cut rocks on your porch). We are very pleased with the finished product and the price was FAR better than the other estimates, some of whom didn't even respond after seeing the small size of our job.

Joe Soler: Positive: Professionalism, Punctuality, Quality, Responsiveness, ValueChris did a superb job for us on a challenging project to repoint the damaged ceilings and skylight enclosure of our home addition and to resurface a stairwell and closet. His workmanship and attention to detail are second to none. We were extremely pleased with the result and I highly recommend Chris and Baker Tile.Services: Drywall installation, Drywall repair

Lindsey Stone: Chris exceeded our expectations. He replaced our kitchen and bathroom flooring, and added a kitchen backsplash. He has a true attention to detail, which is sort of required in my eyes as an art teacher and artist!… We were so pleased with the precision of the work, how quickly he worked, and how he left the site. When there were unforeseen issues, like Durock that fell between floorboards into an unfinished part of the basement, I didn’t even get a chance to ask about it because it was cleaned up perfectly in two seconds. I hope we get a chance to work with him again! So pleased. Services: Tile work replacement , Tile work installation

Meghan Flores (Rec AGC): We hired Chris to replace the tile flooring in one of our bathrooms, and cannot recommend him enough for his professionalism, extreme attention to detail, and overall value. The process from demolition through installation and completion was quick and non-intrusive into the rest of our home. Chris kept the work area very neat and clean in tight quarters, which we greatly appreciated. We are already considering future projects to have the opportunity to work with him again, and only wish he did more than just tile work to help with other projects around our home!

C. Gartner: Positive: Professionalism, Punctuality, Quality, Responsiveness, ValueWonderful top notch carpenter! Chris is the real deal - he is meticulous, honest and his pricing is fair. He restored our porch beautifully, has done numerous repairs and painting for us and is amazing with tile work. He is our go-to guy for everything!Services: Exterior painting, Remodeling, Tile work installation

Ryan Murray: The owner Chris Baker is fantastic. I can't say enough good things. They are a small company, and as a result very flexible and able to work with clients to find solutions that fit their needs. Chris has excellent attention to detail and always kept the space clean and tidy. He was always able to troubleshoot things that arose and if there was something such as plumbing or electrical work that he was not able to do, he was very upfront about it. I would highly recommend Baker Tile and Carpentry, and I hope to use them again in the future! Services: Tile work replacement , Remodeling , Tile work installation

Nancy Brown: We highly recommend Chris for carpentry, tiling, or anything else you need. We hired him in spring 2021 to add molding in several rooms of our house. He was delightful to work with, giving us great advice that turned our crazy ideas into reality. It is obvious that he puts a high value on quality. Our project turned out beautifully and we are eagerly looking for other opportunities to work with Chris on future projects!

Fred Gober: We are the owner of a Fl condo and visited the Bethesda Porcelanosa and could not be happier from the day we visited. The material purchased was the most beautiful tile for both the flooring and shower. The salespeople were patient, extremely helpful from selection to purchase, to delivery and even "return of unused material". Unheard- of !!! The installer recommended was a Master and could not have been more professional. The condo is now a masterpiece as a result of installation of Porcelanosa. Give them a chance and you will be pleasantly surprised. Abdel is the store manager and is amazingly talented. Ask for him.

Mila Le: We have remodeled our 2 bathrooms with the help of Porcelanosa expert and designer Maria. And it was one of the best experiences ever. We are very grateful for all the help, advises, support and time that Maria provided and made our remodeling less stressful and overwhelming. We have shopped for tiles around but because of the great customer service and help with the design we didn't even wanted to deal with other stores or representatives. Maria also helped us with our 3rd bathroom remodeling a couple of years ago and because of her great customer service and support we returned back to Porcelanosa. Thank you Maria again - you are the best!!!! We definitely recommend Procelanosa to others!

Mark Ugoretz: The company is impossible to reach by telephone. Voice mail requires that one know the name of a person working at the showroom. Hardly useful if one wants to make an appointment or get information. I already bought several thousand dollars in Porcelanosa and had a simple question which now apparently requires that I travel downtown for an answer.

jennifer Sager: When we were dong our renovation a couple of months ago we went their showroom in DC to check their floor tile selection. They do have so many high end tile selection and its not so expensive at all. I would highly recommend them.

Pepe Catala: The hours in their phone system are incorrect. Closed on Saturday.

JIM MISTO: Great selection

Dursun Ertekin: We went down on the recommendation of a friend to check out their tile selection after already deciding on one from another showroom. We ended up with a great deal and everything was available to pick up around back in minutes. All of the sales people were friendly and knowledgable and very experienced in tile selection and install. Their selection is expansive with everything from very affordable ceramic to absolutely gorgeous glass and trav in countless styles. I cant imagine that we will shop elsewhere for any tile needs in the future. Go during the week if you can because they are closed on Sundays, making Saturdays a bit of a madhouse for sales and loading service.

Mark Nielsen: Ask for Aziza! She is super sweet and helpful! She was a pleasure to work with, she guided us in the right direction for a bathrooms and lobby we were remodeling :) Best of all she has great customer service skills and has such a bubbly personality :)

yasemin bayraktar: We were greeted right when we walked in the store. We had one of the sales associates come up to us and ask if we needed help (Aziza). She was very very helpful. Great experience. We would definitely shop there again.

Sinan Dursun: Good selection for trade professionals

laura ponthey: No good place

Howard Eisenberg: Beautiful selection of tile but unfortunately misleading customer service during and after the sales process. Similar to the previous reviewer, the salesperson explained how we should order extra tiles because the return process is easy. Quite the opposite, the return process is nearly impossible because the packaging that the tiles are received in is not suitable for the return shipping method that Ann Sacks arranges for return shipment, making it impractical to really return any product. Tiles cannot be returned to the store, they need to be repackaged and protected to be shipped back to their warehouse without damage. Beware the upsell sales pitch.

AB: Disappointing customer service. Ann Sacks agreed to take a tile return with their label and using their preferred shipping method. I sent it back in exactly the same box in which it was sent to me and I further labeled the box as fragile. The shipper destroyed the tile (box was bashed, etc) but the cost of the loss was within Fedex's basic insurance amount. Ann Sacks said yes you used our shipper and method of return but the tile was damaged in shipment and so we won't take the return. So, ok. I asked for an invoice so I could ask the shipper to be responsible for the loss and Ann Sacks said they would not "allow" a claim against Fedex and since they paid for the shipping method/label I had to eat the loss. The monetary amount is not huge, but Ann Sacks bears responsibility here for not allowing a proper customer recourse. When sending a shipping label, Ann Sacks easily could have indicated returns need to be re-packaged (how would I know the box they sent it to me via the same shipper in was now going to be inadequate?) And there was no need to cut off proper recourse for reimbursement because Fedex clearly did not treat the fragile shipment as fragile.

Jennifer Strauss: I've had a really wonderful experience with Jamie Tedrick, who is one of the design consultants at this store. I've worked with her remotely and she's been extremely gracious and patient and responsive.

Jennifer Spencer: Showroom closed as of March. Phone number goes to rep and ordering and quotes still possible with browsing online. Cannot speak to service as I didn't try it but I thought I should post about the showroom closure status.

Pam O'Rourke: Wide selection. Beautiful choices.

Linda Brender: I am terrible at choosing the right materials for renovating, and I am so glad that I chose this store because the staff here insists that you look at a lot of options so that you make the right choice. In the end, I chose one that the staff recommended, and it looks perfect in my kitchen, even though I forgot to bring the samples with me. I told them the names of the cabinets and the counter tops, and they looked them up on the computer. I would recommend always shopping here and bringing your samples with you.

Mickey Neeley: We purchased kitchen backsplash tile from Ideal Tile when we did a full kitchen remodel. The tile ended up being the highlight of the kitchen. The owner took the time to walk us through a tremendous amount of options. It is well worth it to shop at a store with he expertise and patience you find at Ideal Tile with Ali and his wife.

Jennifer Barnett: I had a most unfortunate experience with Ideal Tile. The parking lot where they are located is extremely congested, and when I arrived to pick up my 9-year-old son from a class at the neighboring business, the parking lot was at a stand still. Cars were lined up all along the front of the businesses and no one could get by. A yoga class in the same building had just let out and cars were trying to pull out and get by but no one could at that moment. It was a total impasse. Someone pulled out of an Ideal Tile spot right in front of me and my only option was to pull into that space to allow cars to get past me. My son was going to be released from his class at any moment but he didn't have his coat and it was freezing outside and the parking lot was too dangerous for him to walk across alone so I ran inside with his coat to get him and walk him back safely to the car. It took me less than 3 minutes, but when I got back a tow truck had pulled up behind me and was about to tow my car. I asked him to please stop and explained that I had just run in for a moment to collect my son (and explained the exact circumstances) but the tow truck driver said that unless I paid him $25 in cash he wouldn't release my car. I didn't have any cash with me (and again, it was freezing out and it was 6:00 at night so it was dark out ) but he said that unless I went to an ATM right that moment he was going to tow me. I ended up having to run to an ATM across the street, which involved crossing 4 lanes of traffic in the freezing cold (I had to take my son back into the gym and leave him unsupervised while I did this). I later followed up with the manager of Ideal Tile and he informed me that he has a tow truck company on retainer and basically practices predatory towing. I find this type of business practice reprehensible. This is a small community and while I understand he is looking out for his business, he is doing it at the expense of other businesses and the members of his community. I would never shop at this store.

Amy Monsarrat: They have a decent selection of tile, but go elsewhere unless you have months to wait. Despite promising me a 10-day turnaround, it took more than a month for my tile to arrive. Each time I called, the staff acted like they had no responsibility for my deliveries, and "the warehouse" decided (apparently, randomly!) which tile made it onto the weekly truck. Their lack of customer service was appalling.

Pei-Hsuen Liao: Good selection and lovely staff. Not the cheapest, but some really unique choices here.

Florence Jones: Great selection and great service. Support your local small business owner shop locally.

F. Robert Ries: Very helpful staff, lots of options to look at and choose from.

George Mrad: Amazing Selection and Superb customer service

Ker Gos: Way to expensive!!

Christina Joy: I just received cleaned area rugs back from Ayoub. They did a great job. The carpets look like new. The delivery team of Jamie and Jeremy were fantastic on pick-up and delivery. They are very customer oriented, professional and personable, thorough to the point of meticulous, and just overall very pleasant to work with. I highly recommend Ayoub services. It was easy to schedule the appointments, and they keep you very well updated with emails and tests.

Sheril Waldron: Wonderful service! Arrived very timely and did high quality work. The team was very respectful of my home and took time to fully explain each service they were providing. Both carpet and wood floors were cleaned and sanitized, and for wood floors the were beautifully treated. Looks new again!! I will definitely have them back regularly!! Services: Pet stain & odor removal , General carpet cleaning

Elizabeth Snape: We purchased a large area rug online that turned out to be too large for our living room. We called several carpet companies asking if they would cut and rebind the rug to fit the space. Because we had not purchased the rug from them, they were nit interested in the work. Ayoub was happy to do it and they did an excellent job. Their workmen moved heavy pieces of furniture to remove the rug and to put it back down. They were extremely careful and conscientious. The rug now fits the room beautifully. We highly recommend Ayoub Carpet Service.

Danielle Aguilar: Positive: Professionalism, Punctuality, Quality, Responsiveness, ValueExcellent work! Milo and his assistant were able to remove stains a previous carpet cleaner could not. They did thorough and excellent work! This company came recommended to me via an area neighbor on NextDoor and I will definitely be using them again and recommended to other neighbors and friends!Service: General carpet cleaning

Diane Ford: Positive: Professionalism, Punctuality, Quality, Responsiveness, ValueExcellent service from door to door. They cleaned all my area rugs and did an excellent job.. they look like new rugs. Thank you to the Ayoub team for your professional, friendly and superior workmanship. You were a pleasure to have in my home.Service: Area rug cleaning

Jennifer N.: A big thank you to Juan and Jay who successfully removed stains from my sectional sofa and outdoor porch sofa. They did amazing work and my couches look brand new! I'm a longtime customer of Ayoub Carpet Service and these technicians were top notch.

David Musson: Positive: Professionalism, Quality, Responsiveness, ValueWe contacted Ayoub to perform carpet repair. Website was easy to use to schedule, and staff was very friendly. Had some delays do to a big snow storm, but their team had great communication throughout the process. Really happy with the work they did, would definitely use again!

Bryon Wells: Positive: Professionalism, Punctuality, Quality, Responsiveness, ValueSlight misunderstanding at first, but Ayoub Carpet Services went above and beyond to make things right. Excellent communication and technician was very punctual. Great work on a couple of small patch jobs. See before and after pics. Thanks!

S Follender: Great service; pick-up and delivery. Plus, staff was knowledgable and willing to talk me through options for levels of repair of my cherished carpets. My advice: if you have wool carpets, keep them clean and don't let the moths eat them!

Karen: This store has a huge selection of tile and great customer service. When I found a shower niche accent tile on display that had two different labels the store ordered both to make sure I was able to purchase the correct one I had selected.

Richard Mance jr: Excellent service and endless selection.Columbia Tile and Marble is in a worldSpectacular

Clint Westwood: Yep, name sez it all. Lots of tile and a whole bunch of marble. Good pricing and only a week wait.

Elizabeth Cangialosi: Great tile shop focused on the customer - it's always such a pleasant experience to shop here, with help at the ready as soon as you need it. I recently needed to match some old tile, and Columbia Tile and Marble went above and beyond in helping me find a suitable match and further customizing the tile as needed. Thank you!

David Sembly: This place is amazing. We've purchased from here several times. Service is super helpful, and you can always walk away with a custom, original look for your project. It's easily one of the best places to go for tiling projects. We've done backsplashes, and showers from here. Worth the visit!

Joanne Edmondson: Always a pleasure to shop at this store. They know how to help. They know their selections and will help you find what you cant live without. The tile arrives on time. What more can you ask for?

Steve Smith: I own a local Home Improvement business and do a lot of kitchen and bathroom remodeling. I have been using Columbia Tile & Marble since they have opened. I do not use anyone else because of their service and professionalism. I am confident in everyone who works there from the owners to employees. Their prices are fair and they do not make mistakes which is something very important to my business.

Paige Cumberpatch: I was delighted to find Columbia Tile as a lovely, well-organized, and well stocked showroom that made tile shopping a visual feast. The staff was always helpful and tried hard to help me find a solution to my challenging design parameters. Where their commitment to customer service really shined, however, was when I encountered a problem with my choice of a technically non-returnable tile. Ryan advocated for me with the supplier, and solved the problem. I will continue to drive the extra distance to shop my next project at Columbia Tile. Thanks, Guys!

Anne M.: Lovely selection of tile, helpful staff. They help me tabulate a quote for my bathroom and hooked my contractor with a discount that gets passed down to me. They allowed me to rent a few tiles to take home.

Stuart Miles-McLean: I don't like all the self check out lines which are killing jobs. They did have things I was looking for in the wild bird and critter section, but it appears they need more employees -- all over the store -- to keep the inventory organized and properly shelved and labeled. The employees I did encounter were very helpful and friendly; it just looked like they need more of them.

Kev- keepingitreal: This location offers a variety of affordable items for your home improvement needs. I really appreciate the staff in the aisle for assisting me with finding items on my check list. At check out the cashier was welcoming and friendly. This store was very clean and offers plenty of parking.

Jessica Fullington: Today I went to the garden center for some outside plants. Yolanda was so very helpful! She was able to answer my questions, she even went and got me a cart so that it was easier for me to get the items I purchased to my car. It is so refreshing to have people who are pleasant and helpful at their jobs I will definitely come back to this location to get all the plants I need this spring! Marla was very helpful as well along with the young man who answered some of my questions about my plans. All around a wonderful experience!

goklt: Lots of materials here. Check out was fast. However good luck asking for assistance. Lots of associates are walking around but not helping customers. I tracked an employee down for assistance in moving materials from a high shelf to store level in the door section. He called two times for assistance to my aisle but no one came and he advised going to customer service. They called and still no help. Had to track somone down in a different department altogether. Crazy.

Chase Johnson: The employees here are courteous. But the wood cutting service they claim to offer is not available when needed. The store should just be candid that wood cutting won’t be available (or at the very least won’t be available at any specific time). I am a local DIYer (not a contractor). Before I bought wood I asked about cutting and was told it was no problem—buy it and then request a cut. I did. I was then told the lumber associate wasn’t available for an hour. I couldn’t get the wood (a single sheet of plywood I needed to cut in half) into my car, so I waited. After an hour, there was still no lumber associate, so the wood was never cut.

N R: Terrible customer service. Returning an item took 3 months of repeated calls to schedule a pickup and even when Lowe's had the item back multiple calls were needed to secure the refund. Such a hassle, so worth avoiding! The third party delivery service that they use doesn't turn up in the agreed time slots so it's very easy to miss them and then get stuck in the web of calls that are required to reschedule.

Annie Signorelli: I ordered a dishwasher with professional installation and the process from start to finish was completely nontransparent and unprofessional. The installation had to be rescheduled because the dishwasher wasn’t pulled down for pick up in time, and then when it was installed it was the incorrect dishwasher — not even the right brand. After several hours on the phone with the Lowes installation line, including being told multiple times that they couldn’t advance the process because they couldn’t get in touch with anyone at their own Lowes store, I called the store directly and was able to sort it out and get the installation rescheduled. A Lowes associate later told me that they don’t have the “luxury” of waiting on hold with the store which is what I had to do in order to ensure my order was completed. Finally the correct dishwasher was installed on the third attempt and I was told I could contact the installation line again to discuss compensation for the inconvenience. Again it took multiple attempts to even get an update on where my case stood, despite being told every time that I should expect a call back “by end of business” every day I called. When I finally got offered compensation it was for less than half of the amount I requested (I requested the installation service be refunded seeing as it took 3 attempts and I was the one having to set everything up because Lowes did not follow through). While I am satisfied with the product I am in disbelief at how difficult and unprofessional the process was with Lowes. I do not recommend purchasing appliances from installation from this store or using the Lowes installation services.

Conchita Coney: Excellent but one of the employees didn't know what he was talking about whereas getting parts for a 2019 torro self-repellent lawn mower. He told my husband and I to go to store name Grainger on MD 202 they are either closed or permanently shut down.

Elizabeth Ramming: Assistance was top notch!! The gentlemen working there were very polite and helped me a lot with specific questions. HOWEVER-- However, I needed lumber, a 1X6 piece. What they had in stock was WET. But oh! I found 2 dry pieces at the bottom. But alas, don't be happy for me. Those pieces were warped in both directions - both along the length and width. That's it. So, shut up and buy it, or fight DC traffic to go someplace else. Both of those options were the absolute WORST. Why was the wood wet amd warped?? ... Duhhh. How utterly stupid.
