Corriveau-Routhier

When we were finding vendors for stuff for our addition, we hit the usual suspects like Home Depot and Lowe’s (for hardware and a couple of wall outlet covers and a hall light and thermostat), but when it came to the big boys, like granite, cabinets, major lighting, appliances, and tiles, we went to private shops where we’d get better service and better goods.
Someone with whom I used to work suggested Corriveau-​Routhier in Nashua for tiling after I complained that another place in Nashua had lousy salespeople and a bad selection.
For once, I was glad I opened my mouth. Corriveau is huge and has tons of choices of tiles, grouts, landscape stones, etc., as well as a list of tried-​and-​true contractors and installers. And the staff is extremely helpful, pleasant, and knowledgeable. I chose a burnt-​orange backsplash that I really liked and was ready to pay until I saw some 3D 1-​inch glass tiles in orange/​brown at the counter. I LOVED these tiles. When I asked how much, that they would be a perfect complement for my granite, she said about $ 40 per square foot. I did some quick math, and even tho I estimated about 17 sq ft, it would be more than I had wanted to spend on backsplash. Having learned from my mother that «if you don’t ask, you don’t know,» I asked the saleslady to please check on the price, just in case it’s actually lower than what she «thought» it was. Yay, mom. (I miss you.) It was $ 14 (not $ 40) per sq ft. Sold.
Everyone, even vendors, agrees that my new kitchen is beautiful, and the first comment is always about the amazing tiles/​backsplash. So, great choice, great place, great service, great price. Five stars.
