Piper is outstanding! We are repairing our tile in our 25-year old house. She went above and beyond in trying to find matching tile, even contacting a vendor in Spain. Since we hadn't even bought anything from her, yet, we were extremely impressed with her service. We definitely would recommend Piper and Compass Studio for any tile and flooring needs.

The owner actually came to the job site prior to the work commencing and followed up after completion of the job. The foreman worked professionally and managed the crew effectively cleaning up as they went. The sales staff went out of their way to make sure the schedule was convenient and the products were acceptable.

All I can say is WOW, look no further for the best tile installation company in the area. The customer service and execution of Compass Tile is truly unmatched. We worked with Andy to choose a tile and place the order. She was incredibly helpful, responsive, prompt and knowledgeable. Unfortunately once the tile was installed the color didn’t look like how we were expecting, but Andy immediately rectified the situation and repeated several times how important it is for us to be satisfied with the end result - I have honestly never received that kind of customer service, and I was blown away.
Victor installed our tile and was also so knowledgeable, meticulous and efficient. The tile installation is BEAUTIFUL and exceeded my expectations. He was so kind and professional, despite having to take out the initial tile and reinstall it due to the color discrepancy.
Because of our experience with Andy and Victor, we will never go anywhere else for our tiling needs, and will refer everyone we know to Compass Tile. You will not regret working with them.

So glad I stumbled on this store, because I was lost on tile options up until walking in. The store had amazing, affordable tile options that I had not yet seen elsewhere. Sabrina B. was an absolute pleasure to deal with, and made the experience very chill. Highly recommend this store.
