So many challenges and delays and problems, it would take an hour to type it all. Never compensated for incorrect tile, hassle or problems. Save time and money and headaches and avoid at all cost!!!

My wife and I spent several hundred dollars on tile/grout. I installed the tile, but when I mixed some grout, it looked gray instead of white, so I didn't grout the tile. Upon inquiring, my wife found out that they gave us the incorrect grout. The person on the phone acted as if it was our fault. The tile store is 45 min. each way from us, so we asked that they just credit us the $22 for the grout, and we'd buy it in Lowes. "NO" was the answer. They had to have it back to credit us. My wife asked if they would come and pick it up; once again, "NO" was the answer

We ordered tile from Lynn and special colored grout for our shower. We had to pick up the tile at the warehouse (and pay shipping) they gave us a box with the wrong color grout and now the bathroom at our second home has an entirely different look. I sent an email and left a message for Lynn about the issue, and she never even called me back. So much for customer service.

Great experience working with Jacqui at Mediterranean Tile in Fairfield! I struggled picking the tile and size for my bathroom renovation. I visited several tile stores and did not receive much help from other sales people. Jacqui at Mediterranean tile was able to help me narrow down my decisions and pick out beautiful tiles. Not pushy at all, answers all questions. Definitely would recommend!
