When doing research on how much it would cost to replace a marble window sill, a friend of ours looked at shops in NYC and then stopped into Cancos Tile in the Hamptons just out of curiosity. To his surprise, Cancos gave him a better price, even with delivery and installation 100 miles away...
Cancos started in Long Island but now has over 10 stores in the metro area with prices and service that seem hard to beat. They're a straightforward tile shop for the bathroom and kitchen, carrying glass, porcelain, ceramic, and stone tiles, as well as countertops and pool tiles. They also specialize in custom fabrication and installation.
Do you have any experience with Cancos?

I used Cancos for my kitchen renovation. They had some really beautiful granite options and their price came in below what I had budgeted (based on talking to other granite suppliers/installers in NYC).
Cancos has a showroom in Manhattan and the people there were really friendly.
Most important, though, the installation was flawless. I live in an older building with very warped walls and the granite templater got it exactly right. The installation was painless and I'm still very satisfied whenever I go into my kitchen even almost two years later.
