Associated Stone & Tile Installers (ASTI) has installed tile and natural stone on commercial and institutional projects since 1972, when the company was incorporated as Arpino Tile Company, a commercial union shop. About 60% of our work today is for homeowners; the other 40% comes from contractors and builders (25%) and designers (15%). That includes schools, public buildings, multifamily and restoration projects. Call (781) 893-7041 to discuss a project or send plans.
