Our Story

There’s always something else to learn! That’s what John Kotara and his brother Raymond told themselves when they founded J&R Tile, Inc. over 30 years ago. John was, and remains, convinced that a tile installation company should know how to handle all types of tile, marble, granite, and pavers. In addition, John believes all installers should work to continuously develop new and creative ideas to solve problems.

With John's philosophy setting the course, Erin Albrecht has taken the lead on continuing J&R's focus on educating staff and the industry. J&R holds weekly product demonstrations and has ongoing education and certification programs. A proud member of the National Tile Contractor's Association, J&R is also recognized as a 5 Star Contractor and an ARDEX choice contractor.

After spending eight years working in the family business, Erin officially became the second-generation owner of J&R in 2021. Erin and her partner Triniti Vigil — Vice President of Operations and Advanced Certified Tile Installer — continue J&R’s history of quality installation while adding their own passion for innovation. J&R has become a leader in large format porcelain tile and continues to be on the leading edge of the latest installation methods and materials.
