CB Tile Installation is a one-trade shop in Somerville — floors, backsplashes, showers, fireplaces — and the same installer, Chris, comes up by name in every review on file going back to 2020. The specialty here is fitting tile into houses that aren't square. In a 2022 review, a homeowner described Chris tiling a mudroom floor in a 94-year-old house and working around its uneven walls; a 2021 review described a 1920s kitchen where "nothing is square" and Chris matched tile and grout to hide it. A 1946 bathroom job the same year involved removing a concrete subfloor before the new tile could go down. Across both HomeAdvisor and Angi, every review on file is five stars, and more than one calls the pricing fair or upfront. On HomeAdvisor specifically, this isn't a fluke: 76 ratings average 4.9 stars, with 95% five-star, for a business built around one installer. Its HomeAdvisor profile says the company has been incorporated in Somerville since 2004 and offers free estimates; its Angi profile, for the same Somerville address, says 10 years of experience and no free estimates offered — worth asking about directly, since the two platforms disagree. A good call for tile work in an older home where the walls and floors won't be perfectly square — the reviews on file consistently describe that as the thing Chris is good at.
Typical Greater Boston range for this kind of work, from regional averages — not a quote from CB Tile Installation, LLC. Use it to sanity-check bids, then get the real number in writing.

Chris put new tile on our mudroom floor in our 94 year old house. Chris was extremely easy to work with, very upfront about pricing and worked with us while we manage COVID with our 2 young kids. The tile looks great and Chris did a great job managing our not so straight and not so flat old house. Highly skilled easy to work with professional.
Chris did an absolutely fantastic job tiling our kitchen floor and backsplash (under very difficult circumstances)! Our 1920s house has more than its fair share of irregularities (nothing is square, many choices made in previous years were unconventional at best, etc.), and Chris dealt with all the challenges this kitchen threw his way with grace, aplomb, and a creative and collaborative troubleshooting approach. He was very easy to communicate with, from the initial quote onwards, and went above and beyond to help us navigate some gaps in our contractor lineup (demoing our tile countertop, building a threshold, etc.). It was truly a delight to work with him, and the final product looks phenomenal.
Chris was great. Great communication, a fair price, and most importantly, skilled work and a beautiful final result. Tile repair work is hard, but he managed to match tiles and grout perfectly.
CB Tile is a quality artisan-operated installation service. The work done in my home by Chris and his team will likely be incredible visual standouts to my interior for decades. I would recommend this company to anyone looking for complete tile care and thoughtful design oriented, beautiful work.
Project went well - it was really a bear - 1946 bathroom time installed over wall of concrete had to be removed. Chris is knowledgeable, highly skilled and a joy to work with! Looks great!
