Fitzgerald Stone & More, Inc.

Fitzgerald Stone & More is a family-owned tile, stone, countertop and cabinetry showroom in Peabody that's been supplying North Shore renovation projects since 2015, and the pattern across its reviews is mostly about the showroom experience itself: patient, knowledgeable design help picking tile, stone, cabinets and countertops. Reviewers, including several contractors, interior designers and repeat customers, describe staff — Tom, Viviane, Kelly and Yasmin come up by name again and again — spending hours helping homeowners work through a design roadblock, matching a tricky half-inch tile size mismatch for a checkerboard pattern, and sourcing options for kitchen and bathroom remodels start to finish. A 2025 review described a designer, Kelly, guiding a kitchen and master bath renovation after a referral from the homeowner's contractor. Another 2025 review described the company finishing a church kitchen and then replacing two cabinet doors for free when a follow-up issue came up. Several reviews specifically praise the showroom itself — a large, well-laid-out space with a wide range of samples and no pressure to buy. There's a real complaint worth surfacing: a 2023 review warned that the company's contractors were not the best, describing a kitchen floor installed incorrectly that the reviewer was then stuck with. That's the one specific account of installation-quality trouble in an otherwise strongly positive record, and it's worth asking directly about who does the actual installation work versus who designs and supplies materials. One more fact to know: the company's Massachusetts home improvement contractor registration, #185630, is registry-verified expired. Given how much of the business is showroom design and material supply rather than direct installation, it's worth confirming who holds the license for any hands-on work before signing a contract. Fitzgerald Stone & More looks like a strong stop for picking tile, stone, cabinets or countertops with real design guidance — the depth and consistency of that praise across five years is hard to overstate — but for actual installation, ask pointed questions about the crew doing the work and their current licensing.
