First impressions are lasting ones, and Joe of Marino tile left us with an amazing experience from…read morethe minute we walked into his store.
When my wife Gia and I walked into the Marino shop, we were at a loss for the type of countertops we wanted. Our home kitchen space is small and difficult to work with due to its age... lots of uneven plaster walls and brick.
Gia had always wanted a single source, counter to ceiling style backsplash. Not only would it be a focal point of the space, but it would help in making it look larger overall.
After looking through Marino's wide selection of products, Gia and I never once felt pressured or rushed.
In fact, the owner Joe took his time with us and answered all of our questions regarding durability, installation process, availability timeline, product warranty... pretty much the pros and cons of all the products he sells and installs there.
After a few trips to his showroom, and his professional opinion, Gia and I chose Cambria Delamere Quartz.
Joe spent a few hours in our home to measure out each section precisely, so when it came to installation time, he'd be prepared. And prepared was EXACTLY how he returned.
Joe and Manny, painstakingly went over every corner, angle, and mitered edge, to make our Delamere quartz look as if it was cut out of a single piece!! And in a home built in 1899, that's no easy feat.
He even helped properly measure, center, and bore out the anchors we needed for our new range hood!
And he did it all with a smile on his face :)
Joe is friendly, knowledgeable, and provides very fair pricing, especially considering that he's a true craftsman.
In a world where everything is becoming more and more impersonal and prefabricated, this family owned and operated business was hands down, THE BEST decision we made for our 2nd floor renovation.
Don't even take our word for it... just visit Marino tile and see for yourself.
