Our Legacy & Vision

Established in South Florida Since 2001

More than a supplier —
a design partner.

Valencia Coverings was born from a passion for material beauty and the conviction that every space deserves surfaces of exceptional quality.

Since our founding, we have built long-standing relationships with the most prestigious manufacturers in Italy and Spain, ensuring our clients access the very best European craftsmanship. We are not simply a distributor — we are consultants who understand the vision behind every project, from private residences to large-scale real estate developments across South Florida.

Our Design Studio in North Miami and our warehouse in the Hialeah area are open to architects, designers, contractors, and property owners who seek an experience that goes far beyond browsing a catalog. Welcome to become part of our story.

The Evolution of Valencia Coverings

What began as a localized clay tile importer has grown into Miami's most trusted partner for high-end European porcelain slabs, mosaics, and façades.

"We do not simply sell surfaces; we consult and build long-standing trust with architects and developers to make complex projects run seamlessly."

— Richard Sampedro, Founder
