You cannot beat a small store. Service is exceptional, something you don't get at the bigger stores. However their selections are huge, and right up to date. They also have wallpaper and design service. I loved my experience with Tile Sensations. I heartily recommend.

You couldn't ask for better staff. This is the place to start if you have any tile project. They have so many options, most of which have to be ordered but can be rush ordered. They have a lot of colors you don't see anywhere else. You can check out the samples like a library which is so nice! Everyone there is knowledgeable about types of tiles and can also help with design if needed. Everyone was very friendly and helpful.

We worked with Debra who was exceptional. I highly recommend her. She went above and beyond! She gave us pricing options for all of our many samples, called vendors to find out information about tile sizes and availability, and she really worked with us to make sure we had everything we needed and EVERY question answered. Incredible service! Great service and excellent if you have a lot of questions like me. Thank you so much!

We worked with Tile Sensations to create a look that I was having trouble finding anywhere. Their designers worked with me to choose a combination of tiles, then they drew-up the pattern to give to my contractor, and everything went smoothly from there. We love the outcome, and the first thing anyone says when they see our screened porch is "Wow! I love what you did with the tile floor!" By the way, I did a lot of cost comparison, and Tile Sensations was the most reasonable by far.

I went to tile sensations to find some tiles to match a quirky project that I had for a bathroom remodel. They were very helpful and I was able to find some unique colors that I was looking for. They also told me about their Christmas Open House that was coming up which was full of vendors selling amazing handmade things so I was able to buy some Christmas gifts too!

We first came to Tile Sensations for help on a kitchen project 7 years ago and had a great experience. We just completed a new build and they provided much needed expertise for us DIY'ers with kitchen, bath and wood stove tile. The staff really listens and works hard to ensure the best choices are made. Their product offerings are vast and of high quality. We are so happy with what we chose from Tile Sensations and would not have found them on our own. Thank you Jennifer and staff!

I would highly recommend Tile Sensations to anyone. Mark did an excellent job in helping me pick possibilities for my kitchen backsplash. He listened to what I had envisioned and pulled the perfect samples. The ordering process was very easy thanks to Jennifer. Her personal touch on making sure I had everything I needed was very appreciated. Finding people that are knowledgeable and love their job made my 2 month search for backsplash worth the wait.
