At the top of the list of reasons for Materiales El Valle’s popularity is its millions of square feet of product inventory and thousands of square feet of showroom space with beautiful fullsized displays and samples of products including brick, ceramic tile, glass mosaic tile, handmade Saltillo tile, roof tile, porcelain, marble, Travertine, Cantera, engineered stone, and wood flooring. If a product makes your home stand out from the ordinary, the company almost certainly has it in stock—and in large supply.

And what could go better with the largest inventory? How about the best prices! The company’s longstanding history with name-brand manufacturers is a major part of its success. Because of those relationships, Materiales El Valle is able to not only offer lower prices; more importantly, the company is able to introduce the latest trending products, which may explain why so many builders win awards for homes that use materials that are often new to the market.

No matter how good products are and how inexpensive they may be, shoppers, however, tend to place greater value on how they are treated and whether they can rely on their vendor to be there for them. And that’s where the company excels—customer service. Combined with their many years of knowledge and experience, Materiales El Valle’s staff provides a friendly, personal service that makes buyers feel like family…because in the company’s eyes, they are. And that keeps customers coming back.

Materiales El Valle has always been there for us to meet our needs. Their vast inventory of some of the finest trending products on the market today plays a key role in inspiring our creative designs. But what we value most is their proven integrity because it reflects ours. We insist on using quality products in our homes — and Materiales El Valle is our go-to place for quality flooring, tile, and natural stone products.
