Highlights
- Tile selection — curated ceramic, stone, and glass range
- Design guidance — owners help match tile to room and budget
- Long-running — women-owned Hingham showroom since 2003
- Showroom, not installer — tile laying is hired separately
- Mixed history — at least one dissatisfied customer among reviews
Classic Tile & Stone is a showroom, not a crew. If you are picking out tile for a kitchen backsplash, a bathroom, or a mudroom on the South Shore, this is a place to choose the material and get design help. The actual laying of it is a separate job you hire out. Sisters Julie Ryan and Kristin Heneghan opened the Hingham showroom in the fall of 2003, and by their own account have run it as a women-owned tile, glass, and stone resource for homeowners, designers, and builders ever since. Its Google page sits at 4.5 stars across 11 ratings. What people credit them for is the selection and the guidance: a curated range of ceramic, natural stone, and glass, and owners who help narrow it down to something that fits the room and the budget. That praise runs consistent across the reviews and years. It is not all positive. Among mostly favorable reviews, at least one customer came away dissatisfied, so treat the design advice as expert opinion and confirm the technical details, such as where a given tile can be used and its lead time, before you order. Go here to shop and design, not to book an installation. Ask up front whether they can recommend or coordinate an installer, confirm product lead times in writing, and you will get the most out of what is essentially a design showroom rather than a flooring contractor.

Julie & Kristin are the best of the best for all things tile! Their showroom has endless inspiration, and they are constantly getting in new product. They stay up to date on trendy and timeless options for any space. Classic Tile & Stone is the choice to make for all your tile needs.

I have worked with Julie from Classic Tile & Stone for close to 20 years on many different home projects, all of which have exceeded my expectations, and I will never buy tile from anyone else. She is amazing to work with and her tile selection is the best around. Our latest project was this phenomenally beautiful and unique kitchen backsplash tile for my newly-built modern farmhouse. I gave her 2 or 3 words to describe what I was looking for and she immediately sent me the perfect tile. It could not have been an easier process and the end result is gorgeous. Everyone who comes to my house comments on this backsplash tile and I have Julie and Classic Tile & Stone to thank. They are simply the best!

We had a fantastic experience working with Kristen! She guided us through a great selection of tile options for our half bath and made the ordering process seamless. Her expertise and customer service were top-notch. Highly recommend!

Returning to add a review 4 years later after I purchased tile for my new kitchen backsplash. The customer service and design experience at Classic Tile & Stone is second to none. I appreciated Kristin's guidance in selecting the perfect tile and four years later they look just as beautiful as day 1! I highly recommend Classic Tile & Stone as your best choice for quality service, support and products!

Totally disappointed in both the customer service (created a six week + delay in the project and were given bad advice on the use of specific tiles. Expensive mistakes.
