A Sacramento tile-matching service that identifies and supplies historically accurate replacements for pre-war and mid-century kitchens and bathrooms.

Why it surfaced

This is an unusually specific piece of architectural recovery: the site catalogs tile by precise measurements, shapes, trim profiles, and factory codes, with stock from more than 100 manufacturers and pieces dating to the 1920s. Andy Rosten offers free identification by photo or sample, turning a difficult restoration problem into a small, carefully documented act of salvage.
