From some of New England's oldest colonial homes to Byfield's village and the cottages of Plum Island. Tell us about your Newbury project.
Tile work in Newbury
Newbury has some of the most important early colonial houses in New England, including center-chimney homes from the 1700s, and the eastern part of town grew as a residential extension of Newburyport. Byfield, in the western part of town, was a small mill village and is now mostly residential. Plum Island has a mix of older beach cottages and newly built or renovated homes, lived in both seasonally and year-round.
Many homes built from the 1920s through the 1950s are Colonial Revivals, Dutch Colonials and Capes, and many newer homes are modest single-family houses.

Questions from Newbury homeowners
What's the best floor tile for a Plum Island cottage?
Porcelain is a strong choice for beach homes. It's dense, absorbs little water and holds up to sand. A matte or textured finish adds grip, and mid-tone grout hides sand and everyday dirt.
Where can I see tile near Newbury?
Tile showrooms you can visit from Newbury, closest first: Tiles Gone Wild in Newburyport (about 9 minutes), GENROSE Stone & Tile in Ipswich (about 11 minutes), and Integrity Tile in Seabrook, NH (about 16 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 Newbury?
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.
