We specialize in large profile commercial tile and terrazzo installations, including the installation of precast materials.
We started as a small commercial specialty subcontractor in 1995 in Brighton, Michigan, with the award of a contract for a local Farmer Jack store. We had only five tile installers and two office staff (including myself and my father, Ralph Tenaglia).
We have since grown to lead Michigan's commercial tile, marble, and terrazzo industries. Since 2018 alone, we have worked on 20 of the Construction Association of Michigan's Magazine Special Issue Projects, with four of our projects winning Project of the Year.
We are thankful for the confidence our partners placed in us at an early age by trusting us to help build some of the most prestigious projects in Detroit and throughout Michigan. You have likely seen the talent of our team in some of our signature projects around town and on-campus:
- Detroit Wayne County Airport
- The Daxton Hotel, Birmingham
- Firekeepers Hotel and Casino
- Shinola Hotel
- Bioscience Buildings at CMU Mt Pleasant, U of M Ann Arbor and MSU East Lansing
- St. Joseph Mercy Hospital Ann Arbor
- The Chicago Federal Reserve Building in Detroit
- General Motors World Trade Center
- Little Caesars Arena
This has all been made possible by the hard work, talent, passion, and commitment from our people in the field and in the office - especially my late father, Ralph Tenaglia, and late husband, Scott Panning.
We look forward to more successful projects as we continue to build the future throughout the state of Michigan and honor those that made it possible.
