Mike Willard Stone & Tile

Mike Willard Stone & Tile is a Boston-based tile and stone contractor, reachable on (617) 922-7421, that describes itself as a Registered Home Improvement Contractor specializing in tile installation and masonry repairs. The work it lists is squarely in that lane: tile and backsplash installation, stone installation, tile repair and cutting, grout cleaning and sealing, countertop and tile sealing, tile flooring, masonry, tuckpointing, stucco and stucco repair, plus decorative concrete, patios and walkways. Nineteen project photos are published on its Houzz profile, and the stated job range runs from about $375 to $30,000 — small repairs through to full installations. The service area covers Greater Boston, Winthrop included. The customer record is short and dated. In an April 2020 review, a client described the crew demolishing a bath surround where the old wood had rotted and an awkward step was causing knee and foot pain, then adding a proper step and tile work that, in their words, "resolved so many issues and looks fantastic". That is the one written account on file, and it carries the profile's 5-star average. One thing to settle before hiring: the Home Improvement Contractor registration, number 186317, is listed on the directory profile rather than confirmed against the state register, so check it directly with Consumer Affairs and Business Regulation. This is a plausible call for a homeowner in Boston or Winthrop wanting tile, backsplash or masonry-repair work from a specialist rather than a general remodeler — but with a single six-year-old review to go on, ask for recent references and photographs of comparable jobs before committing.
