We have used Yates several times now. They have a great selection and great prices. However, Emiliano is why we keep coming back. He is always very helpful and knowledgeable.

I should have read the reviews first so didn't waste my time. I noticed not a single review was answered by the company. This I
Indicates to me they could care less. Upon entering my wife and I were greeted by the staff, but not a single one of them offered to help or seemed as if they didn't want to. I was In customer service for over 20 years so i can read body language. The receptionist was upbeat, friendly and informative, but the sales people standing around blew us off. We started looking around with no help, I guess it's my job to beg for help. We sat down at a table

Patsy is so helpful and easy to work with. Replaced some old carpet in my home office and tackled this do it yourself project over the weekend. Still have to complete the trim work, but loving the look already! I had looked elsewhere and couldn't find exactly what I wanted. Was pleasantly surprised to find exactly what I wanted AND better prices at Yates!
Patsy is the BEST! Go in and let her help you find exactly what you're looking for too! You won't regret it!

Went in to get new flooring for entire house. Picked out what we wanted. They came and measured said we would here back in a day or two for an estimate. 10 days later we have still not heard back. Went to another business. They measured that day gave estimate the next day. Needless to say they got our business

We are updating our bathroom- counter top, bath tub backsplash & upgrading to a glass/tile shower. After seeing the commercials for Yates, we went for a visit, taking a piece of our tile & floor to match backsplash, accents and shower tiling. I was hoping for design experience, material selection and a turn key-one stop shop of our tile & glass shower. The salesperson gave very little design input. I think he was more involved in the Tech - TCU game than he was our project. The ideas revolved around our tile choices and his ideas were on the "bold-make a statement" rather
