JJ Tile and Stone

JJ Tile and Stone is a one-man-crew tile and stone shop out of Stoneham that homeowners call for the parts of a renovation that show up close: herringbone mudroom floors, backsplashes, tiled showers and stone countertops. The company says it was founded in 2004, originally trading as JJ Flooring, and is owner-operated by James Felizardo — the site's own words are "owner operated, no subs." The written record runs deep: 30 reviews across six sources from 2014 to now, and the story barely changes. Two recent Google reviews, from spring 2026, describe smooth, quick installs — one credits Johny with a herringbone-pattern mudroom floor and James with fixing an unrelated grout crack in the kitchen during the same visit. Reviewers keep landing on the same details across the years: on-time arrival, protected or cleaned-up job sites, and prices called fair. In a 2025 review, a homeowner had an old tub reseal and a tiled-wall regrout done, and noted James took his shoes off before entering without being asked. In a 2014 Houzz review, a customer describes the crew leveling an uneven cement basement floor before tiling it along with a foyer and kitchen backsplash. A cluster of 2023 reviews describes full gut-and-retile bathroom jobs, including a "complete bathroom renovation" in a historic home where mid-project scope changes were accommodated. Worth asking about before booking: the business traded for years as J&J Flooring, and briefly as JJ Flooring & Baths, before its current name. A Houzz profile still carries that older identity — a Revere address, the old jjflooringandbaths.com website, and several reviews formatted like migrated Angie's List content — even though the phone number matches the current Stoneham listing exactly; worth confirming you're looking at current pricing and contact details. Directories also disagree on licensing: Houzz's own field says no license is required for this work, while Thumbtack separately lists a "verified" Massachusetts Home Improvement Contractor license with no number shown. Neither is a state registry check, so ask directly if your project needs one. The BBB file carries an A+ rating, though the business is not BBB accredited. This is the shop to call for tile, stone and countertop work — showers, backsplashes, mudroom and kitchen floors, fireplace facades — done personally by the owner and a small crew rather than handed off to a room-remodel general contractor. Confirm current contact details and license status directly, given the older, conflicting directory records.
