Burns Tile Installation is a Falmouth-based tile contractor run by Brian and Jessica, serving the Upper Cape towns of Bourne, Falmouth, Sandwich, Mashpee and Barnstable. The business describes itself as locally owned and operated, and states that its installations follow Tile Council of North America (TCNA) standards. Its stated work spans new construction, remodels and repairs, centered on custom tiled showers, bathroom tile, kitchen backsplashes and tile floors. The business has an unbroken run of five-star Google reviews stretching back to 2021, and nearly all of them describe the same core team: Brian handling demolition and tile installation, and Jessica managing communication and scheduling. In a June 2026 review, a homeowner described Brian rebuilding an old walk-in shower into a new custom-tiled one, calling him attentive to detail and prompt to finish -- the only review inside the last six months. Older reviews describe a similar pattern of specific work: a 4x5-foot custom shower and kitchen backsplash, a marble backsplash install, a full bathroom remodel replacing an unused Jacuzzi and a cramped stall shower, and, in a 2024 review, a case where a third team member, James, joined Brian and Jessica on a backsplash job. Several reviewers specifically describe Brian fixing showers a previous, less experienced contractor had installed poorly and that later leaked. A 2022 review stands out for coming from a fellow professional -- a kitchen and bath remodeler who praised Brian's tile skill directly as rare in the trade, rather than from a typical homeowner customer. Every review on file is five stars -- 19 of them between 2021 and 2026 -- with no complaints, negative reviews or licensing concerns in the record. Google's own aggregate separately shows 5 stars across 24 ratings, a few more than the 19 written reviews retrievable here. The one thing worth confirming before booking is current lead time: most of the review history clusters in 2021 through 2025, with only the one review in the past six months. For homeowners on the Upper Cape looking for a small, owner-operated shop for a custom tiled shower, bathroom remodel or kitchen backsplash, Burns Tile has a long and consistently positive track record -- worth a call to confirm current scheduling.
Brian did a wonderful job replacing my old walk-in shower with a new custom tiled walk-in shower. He did all the demolition work and rebuilt the new tiled shower. He was a pleasure to work with. He paid attention to the details and finished the project in a timely manner. I would highly recommend using Burns Tile Installation for any of your new construction, remodels for repair projects.
Burns Tile did a spectacular job on our bathroom shower and floor! Brian and Jessica were very knowledgeable and helpful in guiding us through the process. They were always available to answer any questions. Brian’s tile work is exceptional. Finished project came out beautiful. Highly recommend Burns Tile!
We were very pleased with Brian’s work. He is very skilled and thorough and took the time to explain the work to be done and kept us well informed. He was very resourceful when discussing issues and solutions. He was very respectful of our property and took the time to protect the environment with very appropriate materials. We highly recommend Brian for any tile work. Here are “before (terra cotta) and after” pictures but there was a lot of work in the “middle” to get there! Thank you so much Brian.
It was an absolute pleasure having Brian from Burns Tile Installation complete the tile project in the bathroom, including a fabulous 4X5 foot shower and the backsplash in the kitchen. This extremely positive experience --- 1. The quality of the workmanship is outstanding. Such a wonderful final result. 2. Brian is meticulous and takes no shortcuts. Any unknown problems that are uncovered during demolition are properly resolved with full explanation to the client. 3. Brian provides a start date, estimated timeline for the project and adheres to that information. He is dedicated to working and completing one project at a time. 4. Brian provides expert opinion on design, tile and grout choice. He also makes any difficult tile choices by the client work beautifully. 5. His estimates for the project are accurate. Final billing is detailed and easy to understand. 6. And last but not least, his office manager is amazing -- very informative with expert opinions to assist the client. All calls to the office are promptly returned. This is my second bathroom renovation that Burns Tile Installation has completed. I hope this is my final move, but if not I would most definitely call Brian and wait for his availability!
Brian installed a marble backsplash and it looks great! He was efficient, protected my counters and floors, and left everything neat and tidy when he was done! His wife Jessica was quick to respond to questions and it’s refreshing to have a Cape contractor who stays in touch, shows up when they’re suppose to, and does what they said they would! They’re a great team!
