Tile By Tony

Builds Extraordinary Living Into Every Remodel

Long before “spa-inspired” became a buzzword on renovation shows, Tony Sementi was teaching Tulsa-area homeowners a simple truth: a remodel isn’t about the flashiest tile on the shelf. It’s about the life lived in the room afterward.

Since 1982, Tile by Tony has grown from a one-man tile business run out of Sementi’s home into a full turn-key remodeling company, handling everything from demolition to the final coat of paint. Today Tony and his wife, Debbie, own and operate the Catoosa-based company with a crew that has stayed with them for up to 20 years. That’s the kind of longevity that shows up in the work. The company carries an A+ rating with the Better Business Bureau, belongs to the Home Builders Association of Rogers County, and was recently named a 2026 Best Choice Gold Seal Honoree for Tile & Home Remodeling which honored excellence in home remodeling character + customer satisfaction.

That longevity matters more than ever. A quick search for “remodeling contractor near me” turns up dozens of lead-generation platforms promising pre-screened pros, but the fine print doesn’t always match the promise. In a 2022 KIRO 7 News investigation (https://www.kiro7.com/news/jesse-jones/tonight-530-11-are-those-pros-home-improvement-sites-actually-vetted/ULYXEMG3A5B4RC4NBUDX7BX7ZQ/), reporters found that a couple of prominent nationally advertised home improvement service providers connected a homeowner with painters and flooring workers who turned out to be unlicensed and uninsured, leaving him to cover thousands of dollars in repairs himself.

How to Avoid Common Remodel Mistakes

Much of what makes a kitchen or bath remodel feel “off” traces back to decisions made before a single tile is set. Ignoring the classic kitchen work triangle — sink, stove and refrigerator — turns cooking into an obstacle course. Choosing a trendy material without asking how it holds up day to day, skimping on circulation space, or picking finishes off a sample board instead of the room’s actual light and layout are among the most common regrets homeowners report once the dust settles. Tile by Tony’s team walks clients through those decisions up front, with itemized, transparent pricing so nothing is a surprise once demolition begins. Clients appreciate their in house design assistance. They also have the option for working with one of their interior designer partners. “If you’re too focused on price, you’ll miss the value,” Sementi has said of the process. “It’s best to come in with a budget in mind.”

Classic Style and Spa-Level Bath Retreats

That philosophy shows up in the primary-bath retreats the company has become known for around Tulsa metro: large format porcelain tile carried across the wall and into a frameless glass shower enclosure, brushed gold fixtures, and a freestanding soaking tub set as the room’s centerpiece. It’s a pairing that lets a home’s historic character coexist with spa-level comfort — porcelain brings a texture and movement similar to natural stone but more durable and cost effective.

Whether it’s a kitchen built for real family life, a primary bath designed as a daily escape, or a whole-home renovation, Tile by Tony’s approach stays the same: quality craftsmanship and thoughtful design, scaled to fit any budget. It’s proof that when design meets craftsmanship, extraordinary living follows.
