Tile installation in Georgetown, MA
From center-chimney colonials and 1800s village homes to mid-century houses and newer subdivisions, tell us what you're planning for your Georgetown home.
Tile work in Georgetown
Georgetown's oldest homes include large center-chimney colonials, and a building boom in the 1830s added many houses along Elm and Main Streets. It was a shoe town in the 1800s, when nearly every house had a small backyard shoe shop. Today most homes are single-family, with many built between the 1950s and the 1970s and more added in the 2000s.
That means a lot of bathrooms and kitchens here are from the mid-century era or the early 2000s, both good candidates for new tile.

Questions from Georgetown homeowners
What tile works best in a small mid-century bathroom?
Lighter colors, larger wall tiles and a simple layout help a small bath feel bigger. On the floor, smaller tiles or a patterned tile add grip and character.
Where can I see tile near Georgetown?
Tile showrooms you can visit from Georgetown, closest first: GENROSE Stone & Tile in Ipswich (about 16 minutes), Tiles Gone Wild in Newburyport (about 16 minutes), and Integrity Tile in Seabrook, NH (about 22 minutes). Drive times are approximate. Bringing a photo of your room and its rough size helps when you compare samples.
Do I need a permit for tile work in Georgetown?
Most tile replacement doesn't need a building permit. If the job also moves plumbing, changes walls or adds wiring for a heated floor, that part of the work may need one.
How long does a typical tile project take?
A backsplash is often a day or two. A tile floor or a shower usually takes several days, longer when old tile has to come out or the floor needs leveling. Your estimate will include a timeline.
