Tile & Stone Contractors in Somerville

“I was in the market for new counters for my new kitchen reno. I visited a lot of stone yards but decided on Select Stone, Billerica, MA. They have stone as well as fabricate which was a plus. Pati was the girl that helped me and she was fantastic. Kitchen is small and delivery would have to go up in an elevator. I wanted no seams in counters and backsplash and lengths were extremely close to elevator size but Select Stone did it. There was a beautiful quartzite that I loved which was tagged for someone else at Select Stone. She knew what I was looking for and actually accompanied me to another stone yard with cabinet door in hand to help me find something similar. Luckily for me a few days later the woman who tagged the Quartzite I loved decided on another stone and Pati called me immediately and tagged it for me! Pati was so helpful, honest with her opinions and went above and beyond helping me. They did an absolutely beautiful job with install, on time, clean and neat. I have recommended them for 3 other kitchens and 2 so far have been installed and they did a beautiful job. Owner is very happy. I highly recommend Select Stone, all employees were so nice and helpful and the fabricator and installers did a fantastic job.”

“They came in and did demo due to the old wood rotting face, of the bath. In which had an awkward step in resulting in knee or foot pain while going in or going out. Due to height issues. They then added a step and amazing tile work and this resolved so many issues and looks fantastic!!”

“Davie and his Dad more than exceeded our expectations regarding our bathroom floor tile job. Our home was built in 1976 and the main bathroom still had the original tile. You can imagine after 40 plus years of use by many occupants including children, what a deplorable condition the floor was in. Well after interviewing several flooring contractors we decided to have Davie Mac Tile perform the task. Throughout the process, Davie and Mr. Santos were extremely professional. They conducted their work in a clean and efficient manner. The end result was of high quality and esthetically pleasing. So if you are seeking high quality workmanship, at a reasonable price, with an ease to do business with, Davie Mac Tile should be your contractor of choice. Gene and Claudia Reading, MA”

“Vasile was the ideal contractor to hire! He was so polite, professional, clean, not to mention his work was impeccable! I hired him to install a backsplash with a frame and I am SO happy with his work! I am an extremely picky person (especially since I work in the kitchen and look at the tile a lot) and I make sure to tell everyone who visits about my great experience with Vasile. Do yourself a favor and choose him for your next project.”

“I am an Interior Designer and I recently finished a large job with Lafauci Tile. Not only is their installation flawless, but they are extremely knowledgeable regarding design and care of the tiles. Their showroom is wonderful and if there is something you do not see, they will find it for you. In addition, their pricing is reasonable compared to other shops in the area. Overall, an excellent experience working with them.”

“They were very professional and thorough. They were responsive to she product problems I had and I wouldnot hesitate to use them again.”

“While renovating our home we overlooked scheduling the replacement of the carpets on the entire second floor. We had only a week before the carpets had to be installed without causing major delays to the schedule. I contacted Peck's as they were highly recommended by our contractor and they were local. I explained our oversight to Pam at Peck's and she and the staff could not have been more understanding and professional. We picked out the carpeting, they had the rooms measured immediately and were able to get the carpets installed on time and without interrupting the renovation schedule. And to top it all off the price was extremely competitive and the workmanship and quality of the instLlation was exceptional. We have also contracted with Peck's for our kitchen tilting and once again they were very competitive. Pam's expertise and design knowledge was very helpful to us in selecting tile and patterns to give us the look we wanted. We are very happy with Peck's. Their selections are great, prices are competitive, workmanship is exceptional and they are a pleasure to deal with. We highly recommend them.”

“I am a kitchen and bathroom designer in the Boston area. I work regularly with Tile Showcase Boston. They have a gorgeous and extensive showroom with many installed samples with ideas to help people visualize. They have a very knowledgable staff that make both me and my clients feel very welcome. They are very helpful with samples, design, quantities, ordering, and are responsive throughout the process. I enjoy working with them, and don't hesitate to send my clients to them.”

“When it comes to creating exquisite, mosaic murals for A&D applications, no one uses technology better than Artaic. The translucent qualities of Bostik Dimension glass grout naturally lends itself to Artaic’s line of backlit glass tile murals. At Bostik we are thrilled that our product is considered for their high-performance applications. The Artaic’s creative staff was outstanding when it came to supplying custom mural concepts for the corporate locations. Artaic’s installations truly transform a space.”

“Considering the underlying issues that were found during demolition, everything went remarkably well! First, as noted elsewhere, Wes does charge $75 for a rough estimate. However, it was well worth it. Not only did he show up exactly on-time for the estimate, he spent a good hour or so going through many of the details with me. He told me upfront that there were likely more significant issues going on behind the wall -- and, boy, was he correct. At the time, he recommended that we replace the entire shower, estimated at around $10,000 plus tile. Several months later, I decided to formally enlist S&W Tile's services. Wes again visited us conveniently on a Saturday to walk through the job in even more detail. We spent almost two hours planning out the job and refining logistics. He suggested I plan ahead and buy new seals for all the plumbing fixtures and shower doors, which turned out to be a very good idea given their lead time. He then gave me a firm date of when he would start (approximately four weeks later) and estimated that the job would take four-to-five days. At this point we made a down payment of $3,000. Sure enough, a week and a half before the job was to begin, Wes contacted me to let me know that he had a cancellation and could start the job a week early, if it was convenient to us. We agreed, and Wes arrived on time the following Monday morning to begin. With his prior guidance, we had the area thoroughly prepped for his work. On Monday afternoon, Wes called to give me a status update and sent me videos of some of the demolition progressed. As alluded to earlier, he found significant problems. Within five years of the initial installation, the structure of the shower seat had completely rotted away. Furthermore, the copper drain pan that we had installed (which we thought was a good idea) had been installed incorrectly, preventing water from draining. When Wes got to the pan, he found about four inches of stagnant standing water in the pan. The level of rot found and some added difficulty in saving the existing granite bench resulted in a relatively small change order of $1500. As the week pressed on, things went a little smoother. On Day Two, we had to purchase some additional tile, but Wes was kind enough to pick it up for us. We also had to coordinate debris removal separately, which S&W Tile did not provide but assisted with. Throughout the week of their work, I came home to a very clean and organized job site. Tools were neatly put away, drop clothes were removed, and all the areas were swept clean. Very high marks for cleanliness! All in all, we are quite happy with the process, the workmanship, and the results.”
