DESIGNS AS UNIQUE AS YOU From contemporary to coastal, Astons’ experienced team can create just about any look from their vast selection of exclusive tile, granite, and engineered stone. It’s easy to feel overwhelmed while designing or remodeling your home or business. Educating yourself on product lines can take hours out of your day and concerns over warrantees and installation might cause fear. The whole process can quickly become daunting. But remodeling shouldn’t feel this way. Aston’s is committed to providing a delightful remodeling experience. 35 years ago, Paul and Michele Aston opened a small storefront along Airline that specialized in tile. At the time, granite countertops had yet to gain popularity, and no one was manufacturing granite in Corpus Christi. Thanks to winning the bid on the beautiful miradors along the Corpus Christi Bayfront, Aston’s was the first to fabricate granite locally. Since then, Paul and Michele have maintained a quality relationship with many of their tile vendors, allowing them to carry exclusive lines of high-end tile. These select textures and dimensions are what really make a kitchen or Corpus Christi: bathroom stand out. Their team attends an international 3625 SOUTH PORT AVE CORPUS CHRISTI, TEXAS 78415 tile show every year to keep up with new trends and the latest tile lines. Astons’ installers are extremely 361-853-3300 knowledgeable on all installation materials and offer full warrantees. Port Aransas: FOR MORE INFORMATION: astondesigns.com

Along with their incredible tile selection, Aston’s carries a wide variety of engineered stone and granite countertops. Flooring services include carpet, hardwood, tile and wood look tile and vinyl. Showrooms are located in Port Aransas, Rockport and Corpus Christi. Each location offers products unique to the flavor and design preferences of each city.

glass tile is still popular; however, classic ceramic tile has made a big push in the last couple years. Crown molding offers an unparalleled segue, adding to the timeless cottage-style look. Contemporary is probably the hottest new look right now. It’s fairly popular in the Rockport market, along with the Mediterranean style. Design services have always been an essential part of the customer service offered at Aston’s. “You can go in Home Depot and be overwhelmed trying to pick your bathroom out, or you can come in here and have someone help you completely design it and put it together. I help people even go as far as picking out paint and light fixtures,” said Michele Aston, who offers thirty-five years of decorating experience to her clients. Most people don’t realize what they are about to take on with a remodeling project. There is a lot more to it than picking out tile. Design services are offered free-of-charge. It’s a part of their philosophy to always go the extra mile for their customers, providing knowledge and direction from concept to completion. Aston’s is still a family run business. Today, Paul and Michele’s son and daughter-in-law, Reid and Vanessa Aston, run much of the daily operations. Vanessa Aston heads up marketing and a lot of systems management behind the scenes, while Reid manages the fabrication operations. Michele still actively helps clients alongside six other experienced decorators.
