Thanks to Edgar Velasco of The Tile Guy. He did an outstanding job on time and demonstrated knowledge, skill and integrity in his work re our pool tiles. We recommend him without any hesitation. read more

Kevin and Amy were so helpful in helping me pick a tile out for a partial remodel. Kevin tracked down the original tile used and found out it wasn't available (although he even offered to try to find boxes of it outside the US for me!), and Amy helped me select options for the new tile. Their communication was prompt and helpful, and they even helped coordinate Austin delivery with another warehouse over the holidays. I am also so happy they referred us to Edgar and his crew, who did all the installation plus handled pick up and delivery to our home. Edgar was so fast to come out and gave a very reasonable bid for the installation work. He and his crew were flexible on timing, respectful of our home, and did a beautiful job with installation. We would absolutely recommend Edgar and hope to work with him and The Tile Guy again. read more

Easy to work with! Great communication. I highly recommend The Tile Guy. We got the tile we needed quickly so we could get the work done in the timeframe we wanted. read more

We hired Brothers Construction Group per the Tile Guys recommendation and got a quality job. The bathroom remodel exceeded our expectations! The work was done in a very short period of time, all of his skilled labor was very talented and friendly, they left the job site clean everyday , they had an easy app to pay the bill and Felipe was just a text away whenever we had a question. Highly recommend Brothers Construction Group!!' read more

Great selection and fair prices. Tons of samples to browse and the staff is helpful and knowledgeable.

I wanted to remodel my bathroom and most contractors recommend Tile and Decor as the place to buy tile. I found Tile and Decor to be overwhelming and got no assistance there. So, I went to The Tile Guy on Anderson Lane. I was greeted by Aimee who was wonderful, she assisted me in picking out tile and even though I had interviewed probably 5 other contractors, I asked Aimee if she could recommend a contractor. Aimee recommended Brothers Construction Group. I met with Edgar Velasco, one of the brothers of Brothers Construction for an estimate. Right away I felt good about Edgar and I am so glad I chose to work with him and his business over the other contractors that I was considering. Edgar was always available for me when I had questions, even when I wanted to make changes from the original estimate, Edgar was very accommodating. I have had contractors in the past do work on my condo but they just didn't give me the level of expertise provided by Brothers Construction. I just can't say enough good things about working with these guys. I would definitely recommend them and use them again in the future. read more

Great company! Easy ordering process, friendly customer service and easy returns for our tile overage not needed. Would highly recommend.

We have been working with the Tile Guy since 1993. He has always been a pleasure to work with. We purchased our tile from him and asked for a recommendation for the project. The original bathroom shower, tub, and all cabinets had been removed. He handed us a card for Edgar Velasco. We were very pleased with Edgar and his crew. The bid was returned quickly, work began within a week, and it is delightful. Don and Karen G read more

The Tile Guy - New Shower - Building Supplies Near Me - Austin, Texas

We are doing a major construction project in our house and we have been dealing with a lot of vendors. The Tile Guy store and the owner Kevin have been amazing. All the employees who helped us have also been amazing. Kevin started this business 33 years ago and he's built it into an incredible business. Customer service is A+, and they have smiles on their faces and we just really enjoyed working there with them and we plan to buy even more from them for the rest of our bathrooms and laundry room when we update those in the next few years. They give you immediate service when you walk in the door unlike the big box retailers that we went to where you couldn't get help. Also the pricing is amazing. I can't say enough good things about this business. I highly recommend them. read more

I went to the Tile Guy before the holidays & they let me take all sorts of samples home over the holidays to meet with my interior designer & return to their rack-SO easy to work with! They also referred me to several installers for bids & I picked installer Edgar Velasco (VR Tile) & his crew, great referral! They were on time, hardworking & skilled with my complicated patterned glass tile, covered my granite & floors, & were friendly & respectful of our small condo space (including a rowdy puppy & elderly family member with us during a power outage in their home) - the job they did was fantastic! Highly recommend. read more

So detailed and take the time to do a perfect job. I trust him and I loved my bathroom.

All the folks at The Tile Guy are super helpful and informed. They helped us choose and order new tile for our crumbling front porch and walked us through various options. They also referred us to Edgar Velasco to do the install. Edgar was great to work with. He gave a quick and fair quote. He communicated with us throughout the job. And his crew did high quality work. read more

Amy Lea provided guidance in choosing and ordering the tile, and Edgar Velasco's crew did a great job removing two layers of old tile and installing the new one in just two days. We could not be happier with The Tile Guy and Edgar. read more

The Tile Guy had a great selection and they were easy to work with. They provided samples we took home and kept for weeks at a time. When it came time to order tile Glenn was very helpful and they highly recommended Edgar Velasco (now Bros. Const. Group). Edgar was a pleasure to work with and we are very happy with our bathroom remodel. I will definitely call Edgar for any future projects and if you're looking for tile The Tile Guy deserves a look. read more

I am so impressed with The Tile Guy! We wanted to install hardwood floors in our entire house (which is more than 2,000 sq ft) and I was recommended to them by Austin Hardwood Flooring, our contractor. Selection: Before visiting their shop, I have looked at samples at Home Depot (which I had to pay for) and a few other places. The samples I got at other places were tiny and not reliable. When we visited The Tile Guy for the first time, I was floored (pun intended) at the amount of selections they have. I was like a kid in a toy house when I could see dozens samples of the same color tone I wanted. Each of their board is huge, about 20x30 in (contains about 3-4 wood panels) so I could completely visualize how it would look on my floor. When I asked for samples to take home, they told me I could take the whole board home and take as many as I want. Bringing them back is completely based on a honor system - no deadline (In fact, I still have a couple of samples at my house but I'll bring them back after the project is done - I promise!) Price: I've already had my favorite picked out at another shop when I visited The Tile Guy. So I was floored when I found out that we could get the exact same brand and product at The Tile Guy for 60% of the price. I was in disbelief and thought they made a mistake. But when I got the official quote for 2,400 sq ft, it was for real. I am still in disbelief. Service: The guys at The Tile Guy (I talked to Kevin and Barry) were super helpful and attentive. They answered all my questions and were very helpful in finding all the type/color of wood I wanted. Both times I was there, the shop was bustling with customers but they were very patient with me and helped bring all the samples to the car. I will go back to the Tile Guy for all future projects! Their shop is not fancy like the other pretentious places, but that's why they don't mark up 40% of the cost. Definitely recommend! read more

Absolutely perfect service. I came in with some questions about a specific brand of hardwood. After learning that it was going to be out of stock for the next 3 months, I started exploring other options - i.e. getting another hardwood of a similar color/grain or getting a wood that contrasts my existing hardwood. Rather than trying to sell me whatever they had to make a quick buck (which they VERY easily could have done), they actually recommended that I wait and even gave me some advice on how I could get the hardwood in other ways. Though I didn't pay them a dime, they were amazing to me. If I or anybody I know needs wood/tiles, I know exactly where to go. A+++ read more

Great place with friendly staff, great selection and great service. Denai was super helpful. They are very knowledgeable about flooring materials and I would highly recommend them! read more

We got our vinyl plank wood floors and our file from The Tile Guy. Despite our floors being backordered by the manufacturer, TTG made sure we were frequently updated on the status and held the tile for weeks when it came in before the vinyl planks. The Tile Guy also linked us up with Edgar Velasco and his team who were absolutely incredible. When our backordered flooring came in earlier than expected, Edgar was able to accommodate that by moving our install date up significantly. We were told it would be about a 7-9 day job, but Edgar and his guys got it done in 4! Edgar is incredibly knowledgeable and trustworthy. He sent multiple photos and videos of updates throughout the week and communicated seamlessly with us the whole way through. read more

The Tile Guy - an empty basement with wood floors - Building Supplies Near Me - Austin, Texas

Believe the five star reviews. The staff here is great, so helpful and willing to help you think through your choices. They'll let you take anything home - their sample policy is on the honor system. I ended up buying only about $100 worth of tile from them for a shower floor, but they always treated me like a valuable client. The showroom is a little overwhelming because up to 25% of it is just random stuff lying around. But they'll bend over backwards to understand what you're looking for and help you find it. They were always great about getting back with me via email. Very reliable. Oh, and their prices are good! read more

Kevin with the tile guy was amazing. We called looking for a product that was installed by a large production builder. Kevin found the color and ordered it within the hour of us calling. The floor is picked up and the installers starting installing. After the 1st room we noticed it was 2 colors. Turns out that they shipped 2 colors from the warehouse but the boxes were so similar that it was difficult to tell. We had to tear some out and replace it therefore we are now short. Called Kevin and it was hassle free. He asked for thebold stuff back and replace what we had to tear out at no additional cost. It's easy for people to be nice when things go right but it's really how they treat you when mistakes are made. read more

Nothing makes me more neurotic than a trip to the tile guy. They have so many great options at incredibly fair prices that I always get overwhelmed. Kevin, Nathan, Berry, and Glenn... where do I even start? Everyone has always been so patient despite my 127 million trips in and out to get samples and change my mind a hundred times. Throughout both of my renovations that have been 5 stars through and through for laminate, wood, and tile. read more

Can't say enough good things about the tile guy. We have used them three separate times for engineered hardwoods, kitchen backsplash, and vinyl floors in our master bath. Great prices and very helpful recommending the right product given the space and your circumstances (young kids, pets, etc.) read more

After trekking around town looking at the limited tile choices in various Austin stores, I was about to settle for whatever I could find in my price range. A friend who had just remodeled her house suggested the Tile Guy on Anderson Lane, so I decided to try one more place. I should have started here! Their storefront is a very small building, not a huge warehouse, and it is packed with tile samples and even some wood floor samples. There are even tile samples stacked in racks along the covered front porch. They carry tile from suppliers in Austin and beyond, and their prices are fair. They don't carry quantities in stock, so you will have to order. They will let you borrow a sample to take home before you decide. I got most of my orders in a couple of days, except for one that the supplier had to restock from out of state. This is a family run business and the owner, Kevin, works there with several employees, all of whom are helpful. I worked with Barry and Glenn most often besides Kevin. They all made an exhausting project far easier. They do take credit cards, and be aware that they do pass on a restocking fee from the suppliers if you have to make returns. They are super busy all the time, but they don't require appointments. Just be prepared to be patient if the showroom is full when you walk in. They aren't open late on weekdays, but they're open Saturday, unlike some other local building supply houses. read more

We wanted to replace the decades old carpeting in three of our bedrooms with vinyl wood flooring, and decided to try The Tile Guy as they were local, and they were huge supporters of our children's schools. From the moment we walked in we felt at home. Everyone was so friendly and helpful with all of our questions and concerns. Kevin in particular spent a great deal of time explaining everything carefully, and Ethan and Amy were also very knowledgeable and helpful. We got exactly what we wanted at a great price, and the flooring was shipped super-fast to Austin. Two weeks after we first walked in the door, our new flooring was installed, and that was working around the Thanksgiving holidays! I cannot praise their customer service enough! Next time we do any remodeling, the Tile Guy on Anderson Lane is our first stop! read more

We are getting our bathroom completely remodeled. When I bought the house, it had that classic 1970s tract-home decor: linoleum floor, textured walls, and vinyl surround bathtub/shower. My vision for the new bathroom was a retro look with subway tile on the walls and small octagons on the floor. The Tile Guy had exactly what I was looking for! They also have travertine, hardware, natural stone, and mosaic. Plus, the guys were knowledgeable about helping me pick out the right pieces for the edge trim (bull nose vs. mud cut). I'll go back to them for my next tile project! read more

Great prices and extremely helpful services! Well done Ordered travertine tile for bathrooms. Staff (owner) then was able to put me in contact with an exceptional installer. He called him while I waited and helped schedule the install. I ended up not ordering enough and the Tile Guys were able to order from the same lot so there was an exact match. So much better selection, prices and service then one of the big box stores. read more

The absolute best customer service in the history of the universe. Our contractor ordered tile for a bathroom remodel that was later completely botched. We ended up having to rip out three quarters of the work and start over with a new installer. When we went back to The Tile Guy for materials, they found a fantastic alternative in stock that saved us a ton of money, and then sold it to us **at cost** after they learned about the way our project went south. Super, super nice people. This is the second time we've ordered tile from them and every interaction has been friendly, knowledgeable, professional, and generous. If you need to buy tile, this is the ONLY place in town to go. read more

Would give them six stars if allowed. The entire team was fantastic, professional and delivered sound advice. As we began the process, they allowed us to take home a couple samples to match with our paint, furniture and fixtures. Once we settled on the design, their pricing and timeliness to procure the products were terrific. But what separated them from being good to great was that Kevin responded during his vacation to get us one more box that was needed to finish the project. We had the crew on-site, they were near completion but due to measurement issues and changes to scope, we needed one additional box of tile. Kevin got the product from the supplier, allowed us to use his house account for pre-payment, and the project was finished during the week before Christmas. This family owned business was stellar from start to finish. Having been in Austin since 1988, I can't say that about many businesses that I've worked with in over 30 years. read more

Felipe with V & V Flooring and the Tile Guy came out to our home and replaced a backsplash job that was messed up. They had to tear down all the backsplash in the kitchen and then replace it all with new tile. The end result is phenomenal and it only took two days. They were very friendly and courteous and Felipe was able to answer all of my questions and concerns. Having had a job completed previously that was not good - made us uneasy. But our worries were quickly put to rest once they came through and explained things and started the job. We are so happy with the backsplash now and can finally enjoy the remodeled kitchen. The tile work definitely completes the look. If you are looking for any flooring or tile work call Felipe. He was professional and trust worthy and all the guys he brought in to work on this job in our home were great. *The picture does not do justice to the quality of work. It's truly beautiful. read more

I have to disagree with the other glowing reviews on here. Went in less than a month ago and asked for 6 x 6 blue-gray ceramic tile. The woman who greeted us seemed at a loss and wandered around looking for a bit, then passed us off to a guy working there. He informed us that "nobody makes that size anymore." (Surprise--they do make that size.) Then he directed us to 12 x 24 tile, okay, fine. We repeated that we wanted blue-gray tile, and he hands us a sample that was perfect, the salesman says it's very popular, plenty of it. Great! We go home and start getting everything arranged with our contractor. Sent him a pic of front and back of the tile, which has written The Tile Guy on the back. Contractor calls The Tile Guy to order the tile, sends the 2 photos. He's informed they haven't had that tile for months, we must have gotten the sample elsewhere, even with The Tile Guy written on back. Say they're doubtful they can get this tile, we must be mistaken, no one remembers us, so...What the what? Back to square one when we could have looked elsewhere if properly informed by salespeople who knew their products. read more

Great pricing, good selection of tiles and good customer service. The buying process was super easy, however, they forgot to deliver my order on the scheduled date, and was late for the re-scheduled delivery the next day. read more

I love the TILE GUY! They are the best hands down! I love working with Nathan, he always has a great personality and is extremely informative while I am shopping for my designs. read more

They were great to work with! We were doing our first renovation and I had no idea where to start but they were helpful, friendly, and knowledgeable throughout the whole process. We found a tile we liked at another location but ordered it through The Tile Guy since they could get us better pricing and they walked us through all the different grout options. Tile even came in earlier than expected. Would highly recommend! read more

Because Kevin and Sandy are so helpful and always try to save me money whenever possible, this is the only place I buy my tile and wood. They also gave me the name of the wood installer I use and am very grateful for that. read more

Kevin cares about reputation and takes action to resolve issues. What more can a person ask than fair business?

Kevin and his staff are very good people to work with. The absolute best price on town on tile also.

This is a wonderful place to browse for endless tile possibilities-unless you're the type to be intimidated by too many choices. For any given color, material, and texture, they will have 10 subtle variations on it from different manufacturers. I don't normally like shopping that much, but this is a fun place to shop for tile. The salespeople are not on commission, which is nice: you don't have to worry about buying from the same salesman you originally talked to. The staff is helpful when you want them but also content to let you browse in peace if you prefer. As with most tile stores, you can take samples of your favorites home to check out in your home. Unlike a lot of material suppliers, this store offer some Saturday hours. That's how I originally found them: browsing Yelp for well-rated tile stores that are open at least part of the weekend. The prices here are much better than some places in town because they give everyone the contractor price. Some contractors might not necessarily appreciate this: mine insisted on using his own single-manufacturer store that inflates the retail prices and gives contractors steep discounts, hiding the actual material cost from the end client. Because my contractor would only use his own store, I unfortunately was unable to purchase from the Tile Guy and cannot comment on the post-sale support at this time. However, the next tile project I hire out, I'll be sure to write into the contract that I get to choose the supplier, so I can shop at the Tile Guy. If necessary I'll ask the store for contractor recommendations. read more

Let me begin by saying what a great experience we had with the Tile Guy. They were recommended to me by my niece who had just redone her floors and used them. The store doesn't look like much from the outside with tiles and samples everywhere. You go inside and again there are tiles and samples everywhere. The selection was better than we had seen at the other locations we had visited. Even better they allow you to take home and samples to see what it will look like in your own home. These are large samples too not teeny tiny. Once we selected our Luxury Vinyl Planking we were told it would be a few weeks before they could get it in. To our surprise it came in early and we were able to get our project started. We chose to go with on of the installers they recommended Edgar Velasco who had also installed my niece's floors much to their satisfaction. Edgar was great from the very beginning. He picked up the flooring from the warehouse and brought it to our house. We were replacing the existing tile with the flooring so there was alot of demo involved. It got very dusty but Edgar and his crew took every precaution to protect our new furniture and everything that needed to be moved - a large number of large pieces of furniture. They originally said the job would take seven days but they finished in four to our surprise and happiness. They cleaned everything up and returned all our furniture to its original location. The floors look amazing. We are very happy with how great they turned out. Edgar and his crew are top notch. We enjoyed the experience so much that we hired Edgar to come back and install the new tile around our fireplace. I went back to the Tile Guy and we must have looked at 20 - 25 different tiles and looked at the various grout options to go with each. The guy we worked with was so patient with our indecision and not knowing what we wanted. He offered a number of options. We ended up bringing home 7-10 samples before deciding on the tile we wanted. We ordered the tile and it came in very quick. Edgar was able to work us into his schedule to get the work done right away. Again we are extremely happy with the final look of the fireplace and couldn't be happier. Do yourself a favor and go first to the Tile Guy for your flooring and tile needs and then I highly recommend Edgar for the installation of your project. You won't regret it. read more

Incredible selection, incredible service, and competitive pricing. I purchased tile for a bathroom (floor and shower), as well as tile for a kitchen back-splash. Great selection, and Glenn helped me find exactly what I was looking for in literally a matter of seconds - he knows their products. They also let me take home samples for no charge. Also bought engineered hardwoods for my home. The selection again was amazing with all price points available. The Tile Guys made my home remodel a beautiful success! read more
