The Family Behind TileImpact
TileImpact began with a family legacy and a love for the art of tile. Growing up, founder Sean Funston spent his summers and holidays working alongside his father, learning the trade firsthand. Those early years taught him more than how to set tile. They gave him an appreciation for craftsmanship, attention to detail, and the satisfaction of creating something beautiful and lasting.
Sean went on to study Animal Science at Cal Poly San Luis Obispo, but after graduating, he found himself drawn back to the trade he knew so well. Working alongside his father again reminded him how much he enjoyed working with his hands and seeing a project come to life.
In 2022, Sean carried that family legacy forward by establishing TileImpact. As a family-owned and operated business, our vision has always been about more than installing tile. We wanted to build a company where people matter, relationships are valued, and everyone has the opportunity to learn, contribute, and grow.
We're a small business at heart, and we like it that way. We know our team, we care about the people behind every project, and we believe there's something special about doing business on a personal level. We take our work seriously without losing sight of the people who make it possible.
Our TILE core values reflect that commitment. We believe in thinking clearly, finding better ways to work, learning with humility, and executing with excellence. Through Paul Akers' 2-Second Lean philosophy, we encourage small, everyday improvements that help us grow together and deliver our best work.
At TileImpact, our name is on our work, our hearts are in what we do, and the relationships we build matter just as much as the projects we complete.

Our Turning Point
2 Second Lean....
At TileImpact, continuous improvement begins with our people. Inspired by Paul Akers' 2-Second Lean philosophy, we believe small improvements can make a big difference.
We start every project by bringing our crew together to learn and exchange ideas. Through book readings, educational videos, and discussions about the specific job site, our team identifies waste, anticipates challenges, and finds smarter ways to work.
These conversations encourage everyone to think, contribute, and take ownership of improvements that make our work safer, more efficient, and better for our clients.
As Paul Akers says,
"Fix what bugs you."
It's a simple mindset, but one that fuels innovation, ownership, and real change across everything we do.
