Company History

The Beginning

In 1903 Frank A. Caffall started in the tile business with the Salt Lake Harding Department. Frank then bought part of the tile department and moved it to Main Street in 1910. Four years later the business again moved to 977 Wilson Ave. where Frank became the sole owner of Caffall Tile. Caffall Tile employed 10 to 35 employees and mainly received residential contracts. Through time, more and more commercial jobs were awarded to Caffall Tile.

Caffall Tile made a significant impact on the tile industry by receiving tile installation contracts for large commercial projects. Such projects as the Medical Arts Building, Mountain Home Air Force Base, Hillcrest High, Judge Memorial schools were awarded. Caffall's largest commercial tile project was the Deseret Gymnasium , which required 80,000 square feet of tile, which at that time was the biggest tile job in the state of Utah.

Frank Caffall received many awards and much gratitude from other contractors. One of his biggest achievements was being the recipient of the "The Contractor of the Year" award for the 13 Western states given by the magazine tile and Architectural Ceramics.
