Best Tile Company: Simply Tiles
The truism about not judging a book by its cover fits Simply Tiles — while the business’ name belies that it’s about more than just tile, the store’s small exterior hides its tremendous selection of fixtures, cabinetry, flooring and stone surfaces. With former customers shouting its praises across the Internet (“When there was a misunderstanding about the dimensions of one part of the job [the owner] immediately remedied it and had it done over,” one Yelp reviewer wrote,) Simply Tile’s reputation as a quality purveyor of fine surfaces with exacting standards for quality of work precedes itself across the South Bay.
