## The honest read

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.

**Strengths:**
- Strong platform ratings — 4.7★ Angi and 4.6★ Porch across 15 reviews
- 35 years in business — installing tile since 1991
- Detailed, precise work — reviewers cite custom trim and vanity tiling

**Concerns:**
- One disputed complaint — 2014 unsafe shower report, owner rebutted
