As co-owner of a custom tile installation company, I've been doing business with Architessa (formerly Architectural Ceramics) for 27 years.

Working with the staff at Architessa has been a positive experience. They suggest different options, provide samples to take home, and patiently wait while customers consider their choices.

Reviews
As a local designer - this is my go to vendor. Cerrissa and the team are unbeatable - great customer service. You can find different price points for all my clients with amazing varied styles of tile. The showroom is so easy to use and everyone is so nice and professional.
Review from an Interior Designer. They are my main and go to place for tile in the DMV.
Selections: They really do have everything, whether I'm doing a super modern project or something with historical charm, they have it with a ton of options.
Customer Service is next level. I work a lot with Marie, who is amazing and can find and pre-select anything. Highly recommend you book an appointment first and send her inpo photos to help her preselect. We also work with Cristian, who helps keep projects on track and calls anything out with long lead time etc.
Pricing: They have a big range, a lot of options around $20-$30 s/f and up to $150s - $200s/f
