Verified record
Allen Tile is a one-man Haverhill tile shop — Kevin Allen has been setting ceramic, porcelain, glass, quarry and natural stone since 1991, and reviewers consistently single him out by name for showing up, working alone, and getting the details right. The written record runs mostly 2014–2018, and it holds up well: in a 2017 review a homeowner described him pulling baseboards to tile all the way to the wall, tiling under a new vanity instead of around it the way the original builder had, and matching trim to close an awkward gap. A 2018 review recalls him working a recently disabled customer into his schedule to install grab bars that came out solid and exactly placed. A 2016 review notes that working solo means a job takes longer than a bigger crew would — that customer's took about a month — but called the finished tile outstanding and led to a repeat hire for a kitchen backsplash. He's carried a 4.7★ Angi rating and 4.6★ on Porch, each from 15 reviews, and has been an Angi Approved pro. One thing worth asking about: a 2014 review describes an unsafe, unusable shower base on a job where he was a sub-contractor under another plumber who had installed the base; Angi notes he posted a detailed rebuttal disputing responsibility for it. It's the one blemish in an otherwise consistent record. For tile, custom showers or a steam room, this is a specialist with a long track record — just confirm current availability, since he works solo.

Allen tile did a fantastic job. I am so impressed with the hard work put into this job. The tile looks absolutely gorgeous! All the work that was done was completed to perfection. I was also comfortable leaving Kevin in my home when I was gone which was a huge plus to have someone you can trust. I would recommend Allen tile to anyone.
Perfectly! I had recently become disabled and was taking my showers in a chair, with only suction cup grab bars to steady myself on. Kevin very kindly worked me into his busy schedule right away. He arrived right on time and, as he always does, got right to work. Kevin was done in the time I figure it would take me to do one. All are exactly where I wanted them and all are rock solid. BTW I had researched grab bars and purchased them myself.
Kevin did a great job with the tile we chose. He paid attention to the little details that make a big difference, like pulling the baseboards and tiling up to the walls and then replacing with new baseboard trim. He installed the new vanity we had chosen and tiled under it, instead of around it as the original builder had done. When there was a gap between our cabinets and the floor he worked with us to select the right shade of trim pieces to make it look finished. Our front door needed a special piece made to overlay the tile which he also did. He even helped repair (replace) a leaky valve for the washing machine in the laundry. Bottom line is we could not have been happier with the job. The only caveat for other readers is that he works alone and you'll need to allow slightly longer for the job than others might quote. You won't regret it if you can budget the time.
The job was done very well.
Kevin was a first-rate professional, extremely knowledgeable, a great communicator and meticulous about his work. He takes a great deal of pride in the finished product, and it definitely shows! On top of all of this, he is a really nice person to do business with. I would hire him again in heartbeat to do any tile work in my home.
