Everything about my experience with Little Tile, Inc. was exceptional. I was trying to procure a very specific tile for my new pool. This tile was sold out nationwide and I was told to either find another tile I liked, or wait an additional five weeks for the next delivery. I found Little Tile, Inc. on the internet and it was the only company that had some of my tile in stock. I immediately contacted Frank and I received a response within the hour. After a few questions, I knew this company was going to save my pool build. Frank had the tile at my home in eight days. While this sounds like a long

Frank is awesome! Hes been more responsive and helpful than my pool contractor. He also saved me a few hundred dollars and has an abundant number of resources. He knows his expertise and will reach out to others for their professional opinion like shells in pebble finishes. Thank you for giving my pool remodeling a glimpse of hope that all will be ok.

Frank Little is simply excellent. On-time, on-budget and superior attention to detail. He is personable and provides expert advice to help the customer make the best decisions on the project. His website is well organized which helped with budget and planning. Our pool was transformed with his work; removing stone from the spa and pool and installing new porcelain.

I placed an online order with Little Tile. The order was processed fast and I had my tile within a week (I am located on the other side of the US). Prices are great, I would order from them again.

Purchased two sizes of the ray series however the advertised sizes did not match what was delivered. Frank's explanation was the manufacture had a disclaimer that the size could vary. Frank's website does not include one. I was disappointed to receive smaller tiles than was advertised. Probably would not purchase from this company in the future nor recommend.

Great customer service! Frank is very helpful! He was able to locate the tile that matched my pool! Great service and awesome prices! I emailed pictures of my tile and within short time he responded and gave me name of tile! I emailed several times and each time he responded promptly! Frank even was able to pick up tiles and meet me near his home!
