I had the best experience at Westside Tile and Stone, Inc. and wanted to share
“I randomly wondered into this 9300 square foot award winning showroom last summer to find an entire team of experienced in-house designers that were willing to help me find what I needed. They represent 250+ different suppliers of exquisite tile and stone materials. They have earned a reputation for its vast selection, superb customer service, and technical knowledge. They can turn even the smallest bathrooms/kitchens into marvelous creations. The store has all setting materials and tools needed for all types of installations; commercial or residential, as well as an extensive list of licensed contractors that have been working with them for 15+ years. I HIGHLY recommend!” ~Jen Levinson
