JAM Tile & Remodeling, LLC

JAM Tile & Remodeling is a Waltham tile and remodeling business run by owner Jose Malpica, specializing in stonework, patios, backsplashes, countertops and tile flooring — ceramic, porcelain and natural stone — along with bathroom, kitchen and basement remodeling. The written record here is positive but dated, running from 2010 to 2016 across five Angi reviews (four five-star, one four-star). In a 2016 review, a customer described Jose personally taking them to the tile store for suggestions and called the installation process a breeze with incredible craftsmanship. Two 2010 reviews described a bathroom remodel finished on the agreed schedule with excellent service, and a kitchen project where Jose showed up immediately, gave a reasonable estimate, and called ahead when running a bit late. One important item to flag: the company's Massachusetts home improvement contractor registration, number 191581, shows expired per the state registry, and BuildZoom separately shows the same number as a Stone and Tile Contractor license expired since April 2020, plus a second, older registration that's also inactive. Angi's business highlights also claim '21 years of experience,' while the company's own blurb says it has served the Waltham area for 'over 11 years' — those two figures don't match. Given the license shows expired and there's nothing written more recently than 2016, anyone considering JAM Tile & Remodeling should confirm current licensing directly and ask for recent references before booking.
