Pro-Tile and Marble ensures each residential and
commercial project receives individual attention and focus
Design and Construction Report staff writer
Launched in 2014, Jacksonville
based Pro-Tile and Marble has
evolved into a well-rounded installa-
tion firm with divisions in residential,
commercial and new home con-
struction. Based on skills in the trade
passed down from their father and
after almost 15 years in the flooring
industry, brothers Chris and Nick Har-
rington formed the company with
two simple, but important goals: de-
livering quality craftsmanship and an
unrivalled customer service experi-
ence for each client.
Today, the company has expanded
into pre-fabricated fireplace installa-
tions and veneer stone and brick
through its masonry division and
works on projects ranging from resi-
dential homes to new construction,
office complexes, restaurants, apart-
ment buildings and industrial flooring
applications as well as custom mar-
ble designs. “We believe in staying
well diversified and that focus has
led our company into many different
sectors of the construction industry,”
says company president Chris Har-
rington. Based on the values that inspired
the formation of the company ini-
tially, Harrington says the company
focuses on providing value to clients
by educating them about doing any
tile or marble project the right way,
which seems to have been lost in
today’s ‘get it done at all costs’ pro-
ject environment.
“What you cannot see and what is
underneath the tile and the prep
work that is performed is just as im-
portant as the final finished product.
Our goal is to give our clients an ex-
ceptional project that will last for
years by holding our company to a
higher standard than our competi-
tors through rigorous company train-
ing and accountability.”
The company manages the hun-
dreds of projects it takes on annually
through a team of seven full time
employees and 10 full time subcon-
tracting crews used on a weekly
basis. Among the team’s past successes
was a project last year – the Nassau
County Sheriff's Office in Yulee, FL.
Here, Harrington says an extremely
tight deadline, combined with intri-
cate connection points through inter-
secting corridors and detailed
flooring patterns, made attention to
detail and experience in handling dif-
ficult sites critical.
For that project, as with all of the
work it undertakes, Harrington says
they work closely with each client to
fit their specific needs. “Each client
will have a different set of problems
or concerns and our staff has been
trained to address and create solu-
tions to these specific needs. We do
not work based on a one size fits all
scenario.” He says the company is able to
ensure quality people on every job
because of a low turnover rate due
to treating people and employees
with respect and giving them the
tools they need to succeed through
ongoing education in the flooring in-
dustry. “We hire people based on their
specific skill set, and through multi-
ple testing procedures for the posi-
tion they are applying for, candidates
must be able to excel in our com-
pany culture. We also hire people
that are like us, like family and this
leads to happy employees and a
strong workforce who like what they
are doing.”
