Olympia Stone & Tile

Olympia Stone & Tile runs a stone and tile shop at 60 Charles Street in Needham, the kind of place homeowners get sent to by their own contractor when they need a countertop, a backsplash, or a tricky custom stone job done right. The company says it has been at this for more than 40 years, first as Olympia Marble & Granite and now under new leadership from José Martins and Erivelton Baumgratz, who each came from their own stone and tile shops before joining forces here. What comes through across 29 Google reviews running from 2022 to 2026 is how often the same two names come up: Sophie Sullivan and Bridget. Customers describe Sophie walking them through material selection and coordinating installation on new-construction jobs, and Bridget matching a sample tile on sight and sourcing it without days of searching. One reviewer's installers solved a non-level backsplash on the spot; another's integral sink and limestone floor were installed, in their words, with 'precision and perfection.' A referral from Borghesani Construction and a customer who says they've used the shop for over 25 years point to a business that gets called back for real project work, not one-off sales. The record isn't spotless. A March 2026 review praised the showroom's remnant and slab selection but described pieces not being ready on a scheduled pickup day, with delays stretching on during fabrication. And in a 2022 review, a customer described paying in full upfront, having their measurements lost, and going through repeated rescheduling before the job was finally sorted out — a rougher account than anything else on file, though nothing since has repeated that specific pattern. Worth asking about lead times and payment terms before signing anything, especially on a larger fabrication job. Its Massachusetts home improvement contractor registration is active, registered to Olympia Stone & Tile LLC. Beyond kitchens and baths, the shop has also fabricated custom pieces like a marble dining table, and one interior-design project write-up credits their brickwall tile work. This is a good call for a countertop, tile floor, or custom stone piece where you want someone who can match an odd sample or solve an installation snag on-site — just confirm the pickup timeline and payment schedule up front.
