Melanie is very responsive and makes great suggestions. Back splash for my kitchen and laundry room was installed in one day. Very pleased with the installers. They did a great job, they were neat as they were working and cleaned up very well before they left. I would highly recommend. **★★★★★ — pemalatesta, Aug. 2017** > We were extremely pleased with the tile floor Sita installed in our screened porch. They are not only excellent craftsmen, but expert designers as well. We had previously selected three different tile sizes and asked them for a recommendation as to how best to install them. They created an innovative design which included cutting apart mosaic squares and using them as a border accent. We highly recommend STI Ceramic and Stone abd will use them in the future. **★★★★★ — Charlotte Souders, Aug. 2017** > When I met the Sita team I was immediately impressed with their design potential and their precision and care with every small piece of tile. I had invested a pretty large amount of money on an intricate tile mosaic mural that I knew would be the crowning glory of our Master bathroom and I was somewhat afraid that I would never find the right team to find the remainder of the tile necessary to finish but not overtake the mural. As the job progressed each member of the team made sure that I felt comfortable with any changes or additions we needed to make. The completion of the job took approximately 4 days when you take in account the initial meeting day. Everything was left in pristine condition and they also gave us names for a carpenter and an electrician. I kept their business card and now they are part of the contractors who will be helping us build our new and last home, one that has two murals and other design elements that need the consummate tile professional to complete the process of beginning to build our new home **★★★★★ — hfs00, Nov. 2014** > My goal was to incorporate an asian vanity with a large antique copper sink into a new bathroom design. Melanie and Frank were very knowledgeable and helped me choose the best tiles and design for my new bathroom. I continue to receive many compliments about this bathroom. They are fantastic to deal with, courteous, dependable and honest. Above all else, their work is absolutely top notch. I highly recommend this family run business. **★★★★★ — oseikofi, Nov. 2014** > The entire Tile Art company is the best I have ever seen. They are very knowledgeable, personable, informative, they know their job and offer great ideals for change. I am very pleased with the jobs they have done for me and highly recommend them to anyone. They came in and remodeled a botched up bathroom job that was done by another company and made it look like a model home. They are very honest and loving people. I had surgery in December 2013 and again they did an excellent job. They refaced my fireplace with beauty tile and stone. Love this company and will call them again!! **★★★★★ — Charles Griner, Sept. 2014** > They discussed the job in great detail, walking us through each step. They helped us select the materials that were right for us, came and looked at our job site and provided recommendations on the best look for our setup. They gave us a wonderful price and explained every details of the Jo b long before starting. They stuck to the schedule and kept us informed of each step along the way. The job was done exactly as promised and it is beautiful. The work was very professional. I strongly recommend tile art for any tile installation, or repair. ## Selected projects - [Full Moon and Tree Mosaic Shower Inlay](https://www.houzz.com/hznb/projects/full-moon-and-tree-mosaic-shower-inlay-pj-vj~2918120) - Location: Fredericksburg, VA - Photos: 1 - [Traditional Kitchen Renovation - Fredericksburg, VA](https://www.houzz.com/hznb/projects/traditional-kitchen-renovation-fredericksburg-va-pj-vj~590033) - Location: Not specified - Photos: 9 - Description: We have before pictures of this kitchen before renovation on our Facebook page (www.facebook.com/tileartinva) if interested.

Unfortunately, that tile is no longer available. I've seen close ones, like Alchemy and Antares. Antares Nickel Coal 16X24 Glazed Not exact, but close. **Q: where to buy tile. company?** *(in Photo Questions)* where can i buy tile. company name? A: Tile is Marazzi "Jade" in the color Sage on the walls. We used Chestnut on the floor and in the accent. **Q: where did the backsplash come from?** *(in Photo Questions)* A: The "tree" is a set of three tiles by Bonton tile designs **Q: Have you used Starglass / StarQuartz grout with glass tiles- your experience?** *(in Design Dilemma)* I am using Oceanside Glasstiles in my daughters' bathroom - the Tessera line in Beach Blonde (see the image). The glass tiles are in a 6" border about 3/4 up the way of their tub/shower accompanied by traditional subway tile (Daltile; Arctic White) and then is the backsplash behind their vanity. I was given the suggestion to use StarGlass/Star Quartz grout with the glass tiles. I guess it has reflective properties because it's ground up recycled glass mixed with urethane, which reflects light behind and around the glass tile, instead of a traditional "flat" grout. \*\*Are there any Houzzers out there that have used this grout and would share your experience?\*\* It is expensive so I want to be sure I really think it's right for the room. I worry: a) that the "Diamond" - which is the white equivalent - is really more like a glass color so it's a bit grey and would really look grey compared to the white of the subway tile and the Quartzlock High White used elsewhere? I almost think the white will make the tile brighter...? b) I wondered if the textures would match with the subway, glass and the grout? c) Is it really worth the extra cost? Thank you in advance if you have any experiences or advice to share - Alexa http://www.greenbuildingsupply.com/All-Products/Paints-Coatings-Grouts-Grout-Sealers/StarQuartz-StarGlass-Urethane-Grout A: There are definitely places to use white grout with glass installs and white glass tile may be one of them. However, we use it for most of our glass projects these days. Glass has such reflective, translucent properties and after getting used to the translucency of Star Glass, it's difficult to go back to regular grout. It really does add sparkle to glass tile. We have found that it is worth the money...you really can tell the difference. Melanie www.facebook.com/tileartinva www.tileartllc.com **Q: color of kitchen tile backsplash** *(in Photo Questions)* what is the color used on the backsplash in the kitchen? A: There is a grout colorant that we've used and it works well! Aquamix is a water-based epoxy that seals and recolors any grout. It comes in 24 colors, and is a great alternative to the tedious and time-consuming job of re-grouting...especially if the only issue is the color. --- *Source: Houzz professional profile.
