NYC Friends of Firefighters, thank you

I ordered samples from every company that I could find, the samples we received from your company were by far the best, and the new handpainted finshes are an absolute steal. You guys are selling handpainted stuff for the same as most companies are selling ugly powdercoated stuff. I own a very high end builder firm, we will be back William Burroughs

I received your samples and I am very impressed with the quality of your tiles. The price can not be beat and the quality is the same as your competitors.I will be doing my remodeling project with your tiles that is a given! Janice Virginia

Great Quality

We used 12" Sante Fe tiles to redo our fireflace surround. We used steel tiles and sprayed them with copper hammered paint. This was an affordable and unique way to update the room. It looks absolutely amazing. (Photo available upon request.)

Mr. Shafer recently received a letter from descendants of the original owner of the East Elm Street store, along with a photograph of the proprietor taken sometime in the 1930s. The original tin ceiling that remains today is visible in the decades-old picture.
