Precision Tile achieves sustainability with every perfect project

Doing outstanding installation of a material that is both beautiful and environmentally friendly

Alice Jarvis, president of Precision Tile, has the best of both worlds. On one hand, her company is able to work with a wonderful and eye-catching material. At the same time, she contributes to making a greener world as tiles are more environmentally friendly than alternative construction materials such as vinyl. Either way, it is a win-win situation for her clients as her love for work and the planet inspires Precision Tile to provide unmatched workmanship every time.

“At the end of the day, it’s all about making my general contractor, architect or real estate developer look good to their end-users,” says Jarvis. “They know they can come back because they can rely on us to promptly complete the project in the highest quality the first time around.”

Realizing that tiles are a centerpiece in hotels, storefronts, restaurants and other commercial establishments, Precision Tile invests significantly in staff training. This ensures that the material is installed precisely so that it becomes a show-stopper where people want to take pictures with it in the background.

At the same time, tiles are a greener way to construct as they can last the lifetime of a building. When one wants to renovate, the material simply turns to dust when crushed after demolition. By contrast, alternatives such as vinyl are nonbiodegradable, while the glue used to install it is a health risk.

“Tiles are a showpiece, and I want to continue to be on projects that people get excited about seeing,” says Jarvis, who wishes to do more installations that make a difference, such as those in the biotech space. “At the same time, we also need to get the message out that we have to choose more sustainable building materials if we are to leave a greener world for the next generations to come.”
