When it’s time to have new flooring installed in your home, you need a local tile store you can trust to have high-quality materials and fair prices. There are many tile stores to choose from out there, but asking the right questions will help to narrow down which one is best for your needs. Here are just a few questions you should ask to get started.

How Long Have You Been in Business?

How long a specific store has been in business can tell you a lot about them. If a company has been serving your local area for 20 years or more, that's a good sign. They likely treat their customers well, carry high-quality materials, and price their materials appropriately. A company that doesn't do these things won't stay in business for very long.

What Materials Do You Offer?

Many people are surprised by the amount of tile options available. There's ceramic tile, glass, metal, porcelain, and more. You want to ensure your local tile store carries the materials you're looking for. According to Statista, the United States used over 3 billion square feet of ceramic tile in 2021. If you're also looking to hop on the ceramic tile trend, then you need to ask if they can provide that for you.

Do You Have Any Recommendations?

This is likely the question that will benefit you the most. Your local tile store has plenty of experts that go into detail about the pros and cons of each material they carry. You should tell them a bit about your household, such as if you have children or pets running around, and they can provide recommendations based on your needs.

How Much Will It Cost?

Once you have your tile picked out, you'll want to know how much it's going to cost. This will of course depend on the material you chose and the size of the surface area you're looking to cover. It's a good idea to already have an idea of what your budget is before visiting local tile stores, so you can quickly find out which materials are and are not in the cards for you.
