Clarkston’s Val-Tile Floor Store celebrated nine successful years in February.
Don’t let the store’s size fool you; they have a larger selection than most stores twice their size. You won’t have any trouble locating someone to help you either; owner Peter Valente Jr. (P.J.) has made sure of that.
This year he has teamed up with Clarkston native Andre Gourand to help service the rapidly growing business. Together, Valente and Gourand have more than 35 years of floor covering experience.
“We are not a mega-store,” says P.J. “We specialize in giving our customers excellent service, as well as selection at a competitive price.”
Val-Tile carries an extensive line of tile with more than one thousand in-style choices, ranging from natural stone, ceramic, porcelain, glass and metal tiles, but they don’t stop there.
“Most people don’t know that we carry exotic woods and laminate flooring. We also fabricate granite and natural stone, for counter tops or other applications,” says Gourand.
In their newly remodeled showroom, you’ll find a custom marble staircase, along with granite countertops, and natural stone back splashes, sills and thresholds. They are also expecting a new state of the art system that will allow you to design your kitchen or bathroom, so you can view it before purchasing.
“Anybody who wants to come in and size up a potential project, from a simple ceramic back splash, to a new home, you can at least speak with someone with experience,” says P.J. “Having been in the floor industry for more than half my life, I know the answers to many questions, and I do my best to pass this knowledge on to each and every customer.”
“Likewise,” adds Gourand, “for those customers seeking our installation services, they will have the peace of mind knowing that the work will be performed promptly with the quality that is expected.”
Their experience shows for more than a thousand new homes and dozens of commercial jobs have been performed by this local company.
There’s no doubt that Clarkston Val-Tile Floor Store is THE place for tile in the North Oakland County Area. They are ideally located at the Southwest corner of Dixie Highway and White Lake Road, in the shopping center with Farmer Jack’s and Frank’s.
