Where to Buy Tile in Seattle for Your 2024 Remodel - Quality, Style & Value

by Haley Carroll

Tile can be used on floors or walls; as the main material, or as an accent. Tile can be simple and neutral, blending in with the rest of the room, or be bold in its color, texture, or pattern, commanding attention.

Choosing the right tile for your project is a big decision; it’s a significant investment and an involved process – you’ll want your tile to last for many years.

If you’re planning a Seattle kitchen or bathroom remodel, you’ll likely need to source some tile for your project. Since these tiles will be in your home for a long time, they should be high quality and have a timeless style.

Where can you source such materials, for a fair price? If you’re not well-versed in the industry, it can be hard to tell.

From our years of remodeling in the Seattle metro area, we’ve compiled a list of tile suppliers we love, and we’re not keeping them a secret! Learn about each supplier below, and contact us if you’d like to partner with experts that can remodel your home while keeping you empowered, educated, and in control.
