|
Started in 1980 by two brothers, Antonio and Giuseppe, Marino Ceramic Tile has prospered along with the greater New York City metropolitan area that surrounds it. MCT has tiled New York City from its stadiums, to its finest condominiums, all along the way serving the tile needs of homeowners throughout the five boroughs. Over the years the formula for success has remained the same: huge inventory, quality products, and efficient, fair, and cordial treatment of all customers. Today, as many things change, many things stay the same: MCT continues to offer lower rates than the competition, while maintaining their inventory of middle and high-end items. The staff, as always, is knowledgeable, friendly, and fluent in English, Spanish & Italian. The best businesses maintain a sense of family, and while A & G check in on the store from time to time, the Marino Ceramic Tile legacy and day-to-day operations have been passed on to their children who uphold the same standards while also ushering MCT and recent offshoot MCT II into the digital age via their website marinoceramictile.com. At MCT I you'll meet John, Joe, Paul and Diana - siblings and cousins whose specialties vary from design, to natural stone selection and application, to wholesale and inventory. All working together in an atmosphere of knowledge and camaraderie to provide you with the best service, materials and advice. At MCT II you'll meet Rose, Dana and Domenic. After years of toiling in fashion, Rose Marino packed up her designer clothes and left, determined to start her own business and add her skills to the family business Marino Ceramic Tile. Flanked by her partners Domenic, a professional carpenter, and her sister Dana, who had recently left politics, but retained the sharp political mind, they have embarked on this new enterprise. The Marino Ceramic Tile family works together to bring their fathers' legacy into the digital age and improve and expand the services they can provide. We hope you'll visit online or in one of our showrooms. |
