Frequently Asked Questions
Why is my hardwood floor fading near windows?
UV rays can cause fading over time. We offer UV-protective finishes and window coverings that reduce sun damage.

Yes. Granite, slate, and quartzite are durable and ideal for both indoor and outdoor applications, even in variable mountain weather.
Which flooring holds up best in mudrooms or entryways?
Tile or luxury vinyl plank offers the best water resistance and durability—perfect for active households in Auburn's rural areas.

Customer Reviews
Billie Moorman
Penny at Palm Tile was great to work with and extremely helpful throughout our project. Highly recommend.
Jennifer C
Penny is amazing and helped us pick out the perfect floor tile, shower tile and accent tile. Our bathroom looks incredible. I do not have an eye for remodeling and I get overwhelmed picking out items that will be in my home for the next 10+ years. Penny’s recommendations were spot on. She listened to our style and thoughts and was able to give us what we wanted for our bathroom.
Andy Garcia
Exceptional customer service and extremely helpful designers! Silvia was very nice and was able to help create my the color scheme of tiling for my pool! Would definitely recommend Palm Design for any projects!

I have been with Palm tile for a little over 1 year now. My company does 60-100 baths and kitchens per year, and I cannot imagine being without Palm tile as a resource and place to send all my clients. I never realized how under serviced I was until I went to Palm tile. I never realized how bad all the other tile companies, tile selections where, until introduced to Palm. And truth be told, I am only using Palm 100% because of Emily Hagen. There is nobody better more trust worthy, with design skills and talent, that I can send my clients to, then Emily Hagen. Doug you had better give her a substantial raise, before I give her an offer to come work for me. Also I want to give a shout out to the shop team, those guys are exceptional, keep up the good work gentlemen.

We've done business with quite a few different tile shops throughout the years. Palm tile has far exceeded any expectations we had going into our last few projects. They raised the bar with awesome customer service and an amazing tile selection. Two thumbs up!
