Grams Tile is Tyler Grams's Somerville-based tile and stone shop — backsplashes, custom countertops in marble and natural stone, tile floors, and Schluter-certified shower systems, with a heated-flooring certification on file too. Typical job costs on its Houzz profile run $500 to $4,000, sized for a shower, backsplash or tub surround rather than a full room gut. The seven reviews on file, dated 2016 through 2021, lean heavily on people who work in the trade themselves. A 2021 review came from a general contractor and real estate developer of 40 years who called the craftsmanship and work ethic a standout among the installers he's used. A 2018 review from a design-showroom manager said her showroom had referred clients and builders to Tyler for over five years and put him on their Preferred Contractor list. Homeowner reviews from the same stretch describe specifics: a kitchen backsplash tear-out and reinstall alongside a family-room tile floor finished on time and on budget (2018), and a full renovation where Tyler worked room by room laying out tile patterns and helping pick materials and grout colors (2016). The picture here is positive across the board, though the written record is thin and dated — nothing newer than 2021 — and three of the seven reviews come from trade contacts rather than homeowners, so it's worth asking Tyler for a couple of recent homeowner references before booking. A strong pick for tile, stone and shower-system work specifically — countertops, backsplashes, showers, floors — rather than a full bathroom or kitchen gut.

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.
Unbelievable job! Professional job, left the site clean and great outcome. Don't look any further, this company is the real deal.
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.
