I am in Snohomish my son is in Lacey. This is just across Martin Street (?) and I just happened to be looking for backsplash for the newly updated kitchen. I walked in was shown around chose samples I liked, brought them to Snohomish for 3 wks and then returned them. No deposit, no credit or debit card needed. The gal that helped me when I chose them and brought them back was so lovely and polite. If I am in need of tile or stone again in the future, I will love going back to see what's new and how they can help!

The folks at Distinctive were a breath of fresh air! I was quoted a price from their neighbors up the street, but when I went in to place the order, they tripled the price...and lost my quote. (Handy, huh?) When I went into Distinctive, they were very nice, and immediately set me up for exactly what I wanted. I am a small customer, just needing a piece of marble for a small section of my kitchen countertop where I can set hot pans out of the oven, but they treated me as kindly and efficiently as they would have a BIG customer with an expensive order. They were honest, fast, and I ended up VERY HAPPY with the marble I received. They even carried the marble out to my car for me! I very highly recommend these HONEST, fair people for your needs!

We're in the midst of a sizable remodel and I needed tile for my kitchen. The big home stores just didn't have what I was looking for. Distinctive Tile had an excellent variety. I even found some tile that I didn't know existed prior to coming in to the store - I'll be back for that during my bathroom remodel next year! The associate working the floor went out of her way to make some calls to help us in our search. Who does that anymore? They have our business and our referrals. Thanks, Distinctive Tile & Stone, for the quality product and service.

We had a great experience with Distinctive Tile & Stone from picking out materials at their showroom, to the demolition of our existing countertops/backsplash, and installation of the new materials. Kendra was great to work with and the tradespeople who performed the install were clean, diligent and professional. Highly recommended. (Countertop, Sink, Faucet, Soap Dispenser, Backsplash)
Frequently Asked Questions About Distinctive Tile & Stone
Is it necessary to seal stone?
One of the myths outside the tile and stone industry is that granite is difficult to maintain. This could not be further from the truth. Regardless of the type of stone you choose, we seal your stone twice - once before we fabricate and again after the installation. With granite, the sealer only rides on the microscopic pores of the stone. It does not penetrate the stone the way a wood varnish seeps into the wood. We will guide you through any maintenance requirements prior to your final product selection, thus ensuring you get the right product for the right application.
What should I consider when purchasing a natural stone countertop?
It is important to understand that industry-wide granite is the benchmark of performance and longevity for all countertop materials. Put quite simply there is no other product that offers the strength, durability and beauty of granite. When sealed and properly maintained, granite is impervious to stains, it is heat resistant and is impossible to scratch.
Will cutting on my granite countertop scratch the granite?
No, it will however ruin your knives.
Can I set hot pans on my granite?
Yes, granite that is 3cm or 1 thick is dense enough to absorb the heat shock of a frying pan or dish from the oven.
What is the best way to care for my natural stone countertops?
We recommend using a clear liquid biodegradable soap as a universal cleaner for all natural stones.
