Typical Greater Boston range for this kind of work, from regional averages — not a quote from Grams Tile. Use it to sanity-check bids, then get the real number in writing.

Grams Tile is Tyler Grams and a small crew out of Somerville, doing one thing: tile. Backsplashes, floors, showers, tub surrounds — its Houzz profile puts typical jobs at $500 to $4,000, which tells you this is a specialist installer rather than a remodeling outfit. You bring the room; he brings the tile work. What stands out is who wrote the praise. Three of the seven reviews on file come from inside the trade — a general contractor and developer, a showroom manager, and a designer. In a 2018 review, that showroom manager wrote that the crew had been coming through the showroom for over five years and had been added to its preferred-contractor list. Homeowners describe the same shape of job: in a 2019 review, a kitchen backsplash where the bid came back right away and the tile went in quickly and cleanly; in a 2018 review, a backsplash tear-out plus a family-room tile floor, measured and quoted within days, finished on time and on budget; in a 2016 review, a Northborough renovation where, with no designer or general contractor involved, Tyler helped lay out patterns room by room and went to the tile store to choose grout colors. The catch is the calendar. All seven of those accounts fall between 2016 and 2021, and they all sit on one Houzz profile — a clean history, but a dated one, and a narrow one. Houzz also lists Schluter shower-system and heated-flooring certifications along with three Houzz awards; those are Houzz's listings, so confirm them directly if they matter to your job. The right call for a homeowner or a builder who needs tile set properly — a shower, a backsplash, a heated floor — and who can ask for a couple of recent local references to bring the picture up to date. The Houzz profile claims a wide Massachusetts service area, so ask early whether your town is still on it.
Quality and precision are two words that best describes Grams Tile. In today’s world it is different to find true craftsmanship and work ethic, Grams Tile is spot on and highly recommended for any job large or small. Being a general contractor and real estate developer for the past 40 years I have seen them come and go, but this group is an absolute keeper!
Tyler did an outstanding job installing our kitchen backsplash. He responded to my request for a bid right away, was able to schedule the job immediately, and did a terrific job laying the tile and problem-solving the little issues that came up during installation. He did the job quickly and left the area clean. Tyler is very pleasant and personable and his price was quite reasonable. Highly recommend!
Tyler and his team have been frequenting our showroom for over 5 years. During this time, I've referred clients directly to them, shared their information with builders who are in a pinch to find an installer, and have even added them to our Preferred Contractor List to provide to clients. Each and every time I refer them, I feel comfortable doing so as I know their standards exceed industry expectation. The entire team is courteous, honest, and are always open to learning new techniques/design trends to ensure they're staying current. Their work is clean, meticulous, and all around beautiful.
Tyler is one of the most professional tile contractors I have worked with. From backsplash tile to flooring, Tyler does a fantastic job with layout and design. As a designer, I would highly recommend him for any tile work.
Grams Tile completed two projects for me. The tear out and installation of a new backsplash in my kitchen and installing a tile floor in my family room. Both jobs were completed beautifully! When I first contacted Tyler, he was very responsive and came right out to measure and delivered the quote within a few days. He completed the jobs on time and right on budget. If you are looking for high quality tile work to be completed at reasonable prices, Gram's Tile is the professional for you. I have moved into a new home and will be contacting him soon.
