Latest update · June 13, 2026: Initial ranking published. 14 Birmingham-metro tile contractors evaluated, top ranked by Vetted Score.
Tile is one of the few finishes that can last decades, and one of the easiest to ruin. A shower tiled over bad waterproofing leaks behind the wall, and a floor laid without flat substrate cracks along every grout line within a year.
We pulled every tile contractor we could verify across the Birmingham metro and ranked them on rating and review depth, leaving out the showrooms and suppliers a generic search lumps in.
We started with the tile installers we could verify in the Birmingham metro, drawn from public maps data and company websites, and set aside pure tile suppliers and showrooms. Each runs through the same six-factor framework. No company pays to be listed, ranked, or removed.
Scores reflect our June 2026 pass, weighted toward rating quality and review depth. This is a smaller field, so several entries have thin review bases. We re-run the numbers monthly.

Sentiment is measured by AI analysis of review text, recency-weighted, with verified-pattern checks to discount suspicious review bursts.
Grout Superior leads with a 4.8 across 76 reviews, the deepest base here. A tile-and-grout specialist reviewers trust for both new installs and rescuing failing grout and showers. That is a substantial body of feedback for a local operator, enough to trust the rating rather than credit a lucky streak. In practice it is strongest on tile install and grout restoration, and its reviews lean that way rather than spreading across unrelated work. Expect service across Greater Birmingham, with quote-based pricing. The caveats worth knowing are books up and grout-and-repair lean.
Tile Works posts a perfect 5.0 across 27 reviews. A dedicated tile installer with strong sentiment on floors and showers. The review base is still thin, so we read the rating as promising rather than proven and weighted it accordingly. Most of what reviewers hire it for is floor and shower tile, which is where it has built its reputation. It works across Greater Birmingham, with quote-based pricing, and the main trade-offs are smaller base and books up.
CR Alabama holds a 4.9 across 30 reviews. A tile and remodeling crew reviewers like for detailed shower and floor work. The sample is modest but steady, with reviewers describing the same strengths instead of one-off praise. Its clear sweet spot is detailed shower tile, and that focus is part of why sentiment stays high. It serves Greater Birmingham, with quote-based pricing, and the honest trade-offs are smaller base and books up.
Leo Paver posts a perfect 5.0 across 19 reviews. A tile and hardscape installer handy when a project spans indoor tile and outdoor pavers. The review base is still thin, so we read the rating as promising rather than proven and weighted it accordingly. The jobs it gets praised for most are tile plus paver projects, a sign it sticks to what it does well. Coverage spans Greater Birmingham, with quote-based pricing; before you book, weigh smaller base and split focus.
Gomez Tile posts a perfect 5.0 across 9 reviews. A tile-focused crew with strong early sentiment on clean installs. The review base is still thin, so we read the rating as promising rather than proven and weighted it accordingly. It leans toward residential tile installs, and the steadiness reviewers describe tracks with that specialization. Expect service across Greater Birmingham, with quote-based pricing. The caveats worth knowing are only 9 reviews and building track record.
Morris & Bowers Ceramic Tile posts a perfect 5.0 across 9 reviews. A ceramic-tile specialist with promising early reviews. The review base is still thin, so we read the rating as promising rather than proven and weighted it accordingly. In practice it is strongest on ceramic tile work, and its reviews lean that way rather than spreading across unrelated work. It works across Greater Birmingham, with quote-based pricing, and the main trade-offs are only 9 reviews and ceramic-led.
B&H Surfacing posts a perfect 5.0 across 7 reviews. A surfacing and tile crew, early in its public review history. The review base is still thin, so we read the rating as promising rather than proven and weighted it accordingly. Most of what reviewers hire it for is tile and surfacing, which is where it has built its reputation. It serves Greater Birmingham, with quote-based pricing, and the honest trade-offs are only 7 reviews and unproven at volume.
Lewis Tile rounds out the list at 4.6 across 11 reviews. A local tile installer for everyday floor and wall jobs. The review base is still thin, so we read the rating as promising rather than proven and weighted it accordingly. Its clear sweet spot is everyday tile jobs, and that focus is part of why sentiment stays high. Coverage spans Greater Birmingham, with quote-based pricing; before you book, weigh 4.6 rating and only 11 reviews.
In showers and wet areas, ask what waterproofing membrane they use and how they prep the substrate. This is where good tile work is won or lost.
See finished showers, not just floors
Showers are the hardest tile job. Ask for photos of finished showers with niches and curbs, the details that separate a pro from a handyman.
Confirm grout and sealing
Ask what grout they use and whether they seal it. Epoxy or sealed grout resists the staining and mildew that plague cheap tile jobs.

For most Birmingham tile jobs: Grout Superior
