Can a store put a small smile on your face every time you approach it? I last reviewed these fine…read morefolks 7 years ago, have visited dozens of times, and the smile is still there. It's all about the experience, especially for the small stuff. It's so different from a big-box store that it's not even fair to compare them. So, I probably know half a dozen employees by name. I walk in and I find one within thirty seconds. Yikes: most of the time they even know my name. How cool is that! Off we go to solve my problem which usually takes just a couple of minutes. I'm in and out in ten minutes and sometimes even less. Try that a big-box! The one drawback is that they don't have the selection of a big-box. Hence the four stars instead of five.

Just want to add to the chorus of overwhelmingly positive reviews for this wonderful local, small…read morebusiness. Noble Floors and Adriano could not be better! Hands down the best place for all your tile needs in the Bay Area. Was our first stop after the big box stores (don't do it!) and should have been our last stop. Found flooring material there immediately (such a wide range of choices - if you can't find something there, I don't know how to help you) and then scoured the area for shower tile, but in the end found what we wanted back at Noble. Also got backsplash tile from them. Adriano really knows his tile (brought a piece from HD trying to find something similar, and with one glance he knew it was cheap Indian tile) and is just the nicest guy. Goes out of his way to help you find and get what you need at the right price point for you, and truly goes above and beyond for his customers. We won't go anywhere else for tile in Tampa! Thank you, Adriano and Noble Floors!

He responded to my inquiry outside of business hours on a Saturday, followed up promptly on Monday, and located the discontinued tile I needed. Not only was the pricing reasonable, but the delivery was completed in less than two weeks. The tiles are a perfect match to my existing floor! From responsive communication to swift delivery, Noble Floors exceeded my expectations at every step. I highly recommend them for anyone needing flooring solutions.
