Established nearly forty years ago in 1967 by ex-Navy man Howard Froman, Sr., Central Tile and Marble has grown in size and ability. Although he began his ceramic tile and marble company with a partner, Howard has turned CTM into a family affair.

At an early age, Howard and his wife Darlys introduced each of their five children to their father's trade. Like the Froman Family, CTM grew through the years- from simple baths to thousand foot installations with custom materials and inlays.

Over these many years three things have remained the same for Howard, his family and his business - the commitment to quality, attention to detail and pursuit of excellence.

Our vision is to have satisfied and repeat clients, homeowners and builder alike. Our expectation is the highest level of preparation, performance and courtesy. Whether it is Jeffery in sales and installation, Howard Jr. in large floor installation, sister Beverly as the “grout master”, brothers David and Daniel, or even grandson Joseph Hale, the entire Froman Family works together to see a job well done.

We have enjoyed working with the many clients through the years and wish to work with you in the future.

Central Tile and Marble Company handles any sized job from simple baths to thousand foot installations with custom materials and inlays. Our focus on thorough preparation and the use of leading edge tools and methods helps us to ensure a quality-finished product.

The Importance of Thorough Preparation

We understand that the methods used during installation will vary according to the materials used.

•  Larger tiles call for cement bed installation.

•  Smaller tile need walls and floors that are plumb and level.

Whatever the project calls for, we believe the steps taken before a single tile is set helps to ensure a quality finished product. A poor installation can make the most expensive tile seem "cheap".

Leading Edge Tools and Methods

Proper tools and industry advances contribute to a high level of craftsmanship. It is exciting learning new methods, applying new "tricks of the trade" and using new tools and tile products. Staying on the leading edge of our profession, as in the case of heated flooring, helps us to assist and advise our customers to a final vision and expectation of their project.
