Awful experience!!! Do not buy from this company!! I spent nearly $1800 on tile for 2 rooms in my house from here and was planning on using them for the remainder of my 4,000 sq ft home. My husband is a contractor and has also used their product for many jobs. I came here to return a $38 bag of grout that I needed EXCHANGED for a different color and they refused to do it!!! The man claimed he "couldn't find my last name in the system with this item". Are you kidding me? What kind of customer service is this!! You just lost a loyal customer because you refused to exchange this bag of grout. I am

This store offers superb tiles that we didn't find elsewhere in RI. We're very happy with the looks and quality of their porcelain tiles, including large format tiles. Their showroom would benefit from better lighting.

This is one of the best places to purchase tile. We did a lot of price checking at various places and RI Tile had the best prices. The salesperson we worked with was able to point us in the right direction for matching tile to the granite we had purchased and for helping pick tile for inside the fireplace mantle.

No better place to go for tile! They carry in stock almost everything you see in the showroom. Their prices are unbelievable. I would not go to any national chain that orders your stuff and charges you delivery. Their options are amazing! Great staff, but they get busy especially on Saturdays!
