“Quality starts where you cannot see it. Behind every beautiful tile, there is a foundation built right — and that is where I begin.”
— Adriano Alves · Owner, Imaginative Tile & Marble
The Story About Adriano
A Craft Learned From My Father. A Standard I Don’t Compromise.
I learned this trade from my father as a teenager. And from day one, he made one thing clear: Do it right. Keep it clean. Show up on time. No shortcuts. Those standards stayed with me.
My father was a builder,but more than that, he was a man of discipline and pride in his work.and the man who shaped how I work, how I show up, and how I treat every client. Today, every bathroom I build carries that same standard. Because for me, this is more than tile—this is legacy.
I brought those same standards to South Carolina in 2011 when I founded Imaginative Tile and Marble. years later, I still personally supervise every single job — because my name is on every wall, every floor, every shower we touch.
People trust me inside their home — around their family, around their belongings, with one of the most important investments they will ever make.
People ask me why I don’t cut corners. The answer is simple: if you know how to do it, you do it right. If you don’t know how — just don’t do it. I know how to do it right. And when I walk into a job that other contractors said they couldn’t do? That is where I come alive.
My clients are not just buying tile. They are buying peace of mind. I guard that trust with everything I have.
"Do it once. Do it right. Do it with Imaginative Tile and Marble."
"This is not done by accident. Everything is planned from day one. Every measurement, every cut, every line. No guesswork. No shortcuts. Just solid craftsmanship."

What Sets Adriano Apart
The Difference You’ll Notice Before a Single Tile Is Set
He Takes On Jobs Others Won’t
Uneven floors, sloped foundations, crawl spaces, challenging diagonal patterns, difficult stone installations — when other contractors say no, Adriano says “I can do it.” And then he does it beautifully.
“We had several contractors come in and simply tell us they couldn’t do this. Adriano comes walking in — and before I know it, it’s done and it’s beautiful.”
— Video Testimonial Client, Greenville SC
Clients Trust Him With Their Keys
Multiple clients have handed Adriano the key to their home while traveling overseas — and returned to find beautiful work, nothing out of place, everything clean. That level of trust is earned over 34 years.
“I trusted Adriano with the key to the house while I was out of the country. Everything was done. Very clean and neat — no dust on the floors, everything put away.”
— Carl, Greenville SC (Video Testimonial)
Goes the Extra Mile — Literally
When a U.S. Army veteran serving in Afghanistan reached out, Adriano drove outside his normal service area — to Newberry, SC — to honor the job. “No problem,” he said. And he meant it.
“He normally doesn’t come out this far — but due to the fact that I was working in Afghanistan, he said no problem. That makes me feel great, knowing somebody will go the extra mile for veterans.”
— David Winder, U.S. Army Veteran (Video Testimonial)

► Video Testimonial · Downtown Greenville · Kitchen & Bathroom Remodel
“Within about 10 minutes I had a text: ‘I am with a client right now but I will call you when I’m done.’ True to his words — 30 minutes later, a phone call. Every time there was an appointment set, he was parked. He was there. He finished ahead of schedule. There was a work ethic there that I thought was incredible. I would definitely recommend Imaginative Tile and Marble — because of the work ethic and the integrity that Adriano represents.”

► Video Testimonial · Stacked Stone Backsplash · Greenville
“She recommended him for many jobs — knowing the consistency of quality and service Adriano provides. Stacked stone is one of the more difficult backsplashes to put in. It requires very good craftsmanship and a good eye to make sure it all comes together the right way. Adriano was fantastic in helping us through that process. I’ve already recommended him. I’m happy to do that via phone or email — personal recommendation.”
Andrew — Homeowner, Greenville SC

► Video Testimonial · Travertine Marble Master Bathroom
“We picked out the materials and said: okay, Adriano — make it beautiful. Just turned him loose. And this is what we got. Absolutely gorgeous. He was even smart enough to leave access tiles over the jacuzzi motor — in case we ever need to service it, we won’t have to tear up the marble. That’s where experience like Adriano’s comes in very handy.”

► Video Testimonial · Ceramic Tile Floor · Greenville
“The crawl space made the floor uneven. He made it look smooth all the way across — you can’t even tell there was a different floor underneath. I trusted Adriano with the key to my house while I was out of the country. He came in on Saturdays — close to Christmas — just to get the job done. He goes above and beyond. He doesn’t just make it a house. He helps make it a home.”

► Video Testimonial · U.S. Army Veteran · Newberry SC
“I like the way he came in and presented himself. From start to finish, everything was good. He’s a very special person — you can get a feel for certain people. He normally doesn’t come out this far, but due to the fact that I was serving in Afghanistan, he said no problem. That makes me feel great — to know somebody will go the extra mile for the veterans of the United States.”

“Adriano is a one in a million professional. Working in real estate, I can honestly say the lack of professionalism and incompetence among skilled contractors is rampant these days. When the stars align and you find an Adriano, you have your forever contractor. Intentional in his craft, exceptional in his character. We were a little sad to see them go.”
