Our product turned out beautifully, I am very happy with it. **Comment from Custom Tile & Design, Ltd.:** > Michael, Thank you so much for working with us on this project. You and Connie were great to work with. Enjoy your beautiful new home! > Sincerely, > Jill ### All 19 reviews **★★★★★ — Ann Guzdzial, June 2023** > I was at a standstill with tile selection until I met Jill! Her eye and talent helped me pick just the right tile and glass to accent my new counter top. Thank you ! **Comment from Custom Tile & Design, Ltd.:** > Ann, Thank you so much for taking the time to write this review. I truly enjoyed helping with the beautiful tile you selected. > Sincerely, > Jill **★★★★★ — DeWitt Lumber, May 2022** > We had Custom Tile & Design do some work for us in the showroom at DeWitt Lumber. They did such a beautiful job; it was the talk of our Grand Opening. They were so helpful and nice to work with I would definitely recommend using them for your next project. **★★★★★ — HU-845913901, Feb. 2021** > We had excellent experience with Custom Tile and Design, and recommend anyone that needs assistance in design, purchasing quality tile, and Cambria to notify them. > > Before we started our renovation project, we had an initial color picked out that we wanted to go with but needed help picking matching colors and tile designs to modernize the room. We decided on Custom Tile through another recommendation and after our first visit, we had a room fully redesigned that we could not have been happier. They shared various styles of tile made specifically for applications that we were not aware, such as for flooring, back splash, showers, etc. They introduced us to the latest designs available to market, yet carry a depth of display samples for choosing and matching. They made our renovation project fun, were enthusiastic to share knowledge, and yet were very patient in helping pick out designs, to ensure our room turns out to what we desired. Before we got the room fully complete, we had already decided to go back to Custom for our next room. > The second room is now complete of renovation with tile and Cambria from Custom Tile. We will soon start renovating more of our house and cannot wait to go back to Custom Tile for more. **Comment from Custom Tile & Design, Ltd.:** > Thank you so much for the wonderful review! We are glad you are so happy with your project. **★★★★★ — Gary Shaffner, Oct. 2018** > The Custom Tile & Design Staff are fantastic! Very knowledgeable and willing to help design and share knowledge of installation techniques! Thank you for all you have done for me! **Comment from Custom Tile & Design, Ltd.:** > Thanks so much for the great review! We truly enjoy working with you on your projects. They turn out so beautiful. **★★★★★ — Tom Erickson, Sept. 2017** > From start to finish, Custom Tile staff were extremely helpful, knowledgable, and, in short, very professional. We had a walk in shower completed and we give the "Excellent Job!", five star. Quality work by quality people. **Comment from Custom Tile & Design, Ltd.:** > Thank you so much for the wonderful review. You were great to work with also! **★★★★★ — Jerry Chiplock, July 2017** > Holli and her team at Midland Tile & Design were awesome to work with in starting our master bathroom tile shower renovation project (made necessary by inferior remodel work performed years ago by another vendor). We were very nervous about embarking on this job, as it required restoration of the sub-floor and rebuild of the lower shower and surrounding walls, but they made the process go super smoothly from start to finish. The repairs weren't covered by our homeowners insurance, so we also worried about the cost.. but with Holli's guidance were able to find quality materials at a good value. > > Eric and his tiling team recently (July) completed the restoration and retiling work, and we couldn't be happier with the results. Throughout the time this job required, Eric stayed in constant contact with us to exchange progress updates and respond to my questions, despite his heavy workload... especially when his time was in demand to help folks recovering from the recent flooding in our area. > > Eric also made helpful design suggestions and adjustments to ensure the job was done right and looked great. He and his team were very prompt and courteous when spending time in our home, performed high-quality work, and left the job site neat and clean. All of this made it easy for us to trust that our residence was in good hands while we were away. > > We love our "new" shower once again, and recommend this team very highly! > > Best regards, > Jerry & Lee **Comment from Custom Tile & Design, Ltd.:** > Jerry & Lee, > > Thank you so much for a wonderful review - I was so happy to help you with your shower project. We are glad you found us through Houzz and look forward to working with you again some day. > > Best, > Holli Kostick > Custom Tile & Design **★★★★★ — wright builders inc, Oct. 2016** > We have been working with Jill and the gang at Custom Tile for over 25 years. Solid , dependable and creative are the words that come right to mind. Whether it was providing products for a giant new home build or finding a match for a small bath remodel, same great attitude and effort **Comment from Custom Tile & Design, Ltd.:** > Thank you so much for the great review. You are also a great company to work with! We enjoy seeing you come in our store. **★★★★★ — gennaveve, Feb. 2016** > Jill, Holly, Mike and staff are incredible. Their knowledge, expertise and enthusiasm are extensive. Personally, I have completed several successful renovation and building projects with their guidance. Professionally, I have referred many clients, friends, and family members to Custom Tile for the premium product selection available from worldwide stone and tile producers. Custom Tile remains at the very top of my list of outstanding, preferred service providers in the State of Michigan! **Comment from Custom Tile & Design, Ltd.:** > Thank you so much for that wonderful review. We truly appreciate clients like you! **★★★★★ — jeeddy01, Dec. 2015** > We recently added a master bedroom and master bathroom on to our home. After reviewing our bathroom design with a kitchen and bathroom expert and selecting our cabinetry and quartz counter, we headed to Custom Tile & Design to select tile for the large shower that was part of our plan. We definitely wanted to play a big role in choosing the tile, but we had no idea where to begin. Jill began showing us tile options for the shower walls and floor as well as possible options for accent tiles. As we discussed the various options we began to zero in on something we loved that also looked great with the other color selections for the room. > > Soon the discussion turned to the bathroom floor and although we initially thought we would use carpet, Jill and her team convinced us that heated floor tile was a better option, so we selected that as well. Once we selected all our tile colors, it was great to get Jill’s expert design suggestions on what size tile we should use for each installation – floor, shower walls and shower floor. With our accent tiles we created a beautiful wall mosaic and some decorative storage shelving for soaps and shampoos. > > While our initial plan was to install the tile ourselves, the scope of our design caused us to re-think that decision. So we scheduled our install through Custom Tile & Design and we are so pleased with that decision. Although we have installed our own tile in the past, watching the installer work showed us that there are many fine finishing details that we knew nothing about. His techniques have made our bathroom a work of art – beautiful as well as functional. > > We have now begun two bathroom updates at my father’s home and again Jill and her team were there to help with all the tile selections. We worked with a tighter budget for these projects and were able to find just what we wanted at a great price. > > We could not be happier with all the different tiles we have purchased from Custom Tile & Design and their design suggestions have helped us create three beautiful bathrooms. **Comment from Custom Tile & Design, Ltd.:** > Thank you so much for the great review! We had a great time working with you on your bathroom project. We love to challenge our installer with custom made mosaics that he has to create. Doing that gives you a unique and one of a kind design. **★★★★★ — wilkoh, Nov. 2015** > Very professional, very dedicated to customer service; in particular a Dr's home remodel I was invited to offer samples and ideas for! **Comment from Custom Tile & Design, Ltd.:** > Thank you so much for the nice review. We are having fun with that home remodel. **★★★★★ — stait62, Oct. 2015** > Custom Tile & Design has completed several commercial projects for us - many have unique features, and all have demanding timelines. CTD has always delivered a quality final product within the expected timeframes. They are innovative in providing solutions to the unusual project request and the workmanship of their installation is always stellar. **Comment from Custom Tile & Design, Ltd.:** > Thank you so much for the great review. You keep us in the loop on those commercial projects which makes our job easier. **★★★★★ — scotpio1753, Sept. 2015** > From start to finish my experience with Custom Tile & Design was excellent! Jill was great in helping me pick my tiles and the installation went smoothly! I am looking forward to my next remodeling job!! **Comment from Custom Tile & Design, Ltd.:** > Thank you for the review! We had fun working with you on your project and can't wait for the next one. **★★★★★ — Mercury Mosaics and Tile, Sept. 2015** > Love working with the crew at Custom Tile & Design. Their professionalism and attention to details is above and beyond. I can tell when I'm working with someone who's going to get it right and is doing it because they care about the client - that's Custom Tile & Design - hands down! **Comment from Custom Tile & Design, Ltd.:** > Thanks Mercury Mosaic for the great review! We enjoy working with you also. It's fun working with companies that have unique looking tile. **★★★★★ — jeanfritz, Sept. 2015** > Our kitchen and bath studio has worked with Custom Tile for five years. Jill Putnam and staff provide excellent help whether it is selecting tile, planning a tile layout or supplying samples for our customers. They arrange time to get customers in quickly and provide materials as quickly as possible. Custom Tile has a huge selection of current products. They have beautiful vignettes, which provides a place to see tiles in a real application. We recommend them to our customers. **Comment from Custom Tile & Design, Ltd.:** > Thanks for the review. We also enjoy working with the staff at Designed by Julie. With your knowledge of kitchen and bathroom layouts you make my job easier. **★★★★★ — mitchell2685, Sept. 2015** > Jill is an artist. Very knowledgeable of colors and what looks good together. She always has a suggestion on how your project will look better. Always offers several ideas so you as the customer have an opportunity to see a different aspect of what can be possible. I'm always pleased with the end result. We just completed our third bathroom remodel project plus a total kitchen replacement several years ago. A very reputable company! **Comment from Custom Tile & Design, Ltd.:** > Linda, > Thank you so much for your wonderful comments. You are a joy to work with! > Jill **★★★★★ — kathikky, Sept. 2015** > Jill was very helpful and took the time to really work with us. We had a lot of fun choosing our tiles and she worked thru the creative process with us. I would definitely recommend her! The tile came in as promised, no problems at all. **Comment from Custom Tile & Design, Ltd.:** > Kathi, > > Thank you so much for taking the time to write this kind review. I'm not sure who had more fun picking out all the wonderful tiles and countertops for your amazing home - you, me or Roger! **★★★★★ — marshlisaq, Aug. 2015** > Custom Tile & Design does an amazing job with designing your tile jobs!!

A: Hi, Thanks for looking at our photo. This is Wow Fez color White. **Q: Love countertop** *(in Photo Questions)* Can you give me information about the countertop? A: Lisa, Thank you so much for contacting us. Unfortunately, we did not do this countertop - just the floor tile. The product certainly looks like a real granite to me. I would be happy to contact the homeowner for more information if you would like! Sincerely, Jill **Q: countertop color** *(in Photo Questions)* What material & color is Countertop A: Saralou, The countertop in this photo is called Black Soapstone, Lot \#12493, honed finish. I hope this helps you with your project! Thanks again for your inquiry. Jill **Q: Love the tile. Where is it from?** *(in Photo Questions)* Would it be Atlas Concorde Greystone by any chance? A: Thanks for taking the time to look at our pictures. Yes, It is Atlas Concorde Marvel color Greystone 12x24. **Q: Walnut tumbled travertine** *(in Photo Questions)* Where can I purchase these tiles? A: Hi Debbie65, Just to keep you informed, Crema Marfil is a marble not a travertine. It is also more creamy looking than the walnut travertine which has a more light brownish taupe look. The sample you are inquiring about has a tumbled finish. **Q: What color is the stain on the cabinets?** *(in Photo Questions)* A: I just found out that Tri-City Remodeling installed the cabinets. You can contact them at 989-496-9326. --- *Source: Houzz professional profile. Reflects the profile as of 2026-09-06.*
