We requested quotes from 3 different providers on Angie's List. Kim from the Grout Connection was the only provider who worked around her busy schedule and made arrangements to meet us in person. The other 2 providers asked us what the square footage of our tile floors were and that they would quote us over the phone; very unprofessional. Kim offered expert advice and recommendations, so that my wife and I could make an informed decision that best fit our needs. When we told her that we needed the work done on a certain day, because we had tenants that needed to move in right away, Kim once again reshuffled her schedule to make it happen. The day the work was to be accomplished, Kim called us to let us know that she was on her way. She arrived as scheduled, finished the work in a neat and timely manner, and the results of her work were nothing less than OUTSTANDING! The grout looked brand new in our 7 year old rental. We were so impressed with her work, that we have hired her to do the grout at our primary residence. For price, quality, and service the Grout Connection should be your first stop for all your grout needs!!!
Description of Work: Cleaned, stained, and sealed grout. Also, grouted areas between the tile and wall molding throughout the house.

To begin, timeliness and attkitude were problems every visit, from the estimate on. The job itself was a 2-day process. However, the price was less than a competitor and we had one personal recommendation from someone who had hired Grout Connection. They had done a small job (About $300) for us previously and it was ok. The main problem was many, many hairs (several workers worked on the floors with nothing covering their long hair) embedded all over the house in the coating. The hairs were absolutely NOT there before this job was done and were extremely obvious at first glance. Also, after the first day on the job the workers left before we returned home and no note was left on the door warning us the floor was wet or telling us what time they had left. (We had been told we could walk on it with socks shortly after it dried.) Since we had no idea when the workers had left, we took off our shoes and entered, only to find the floor was quite wet. We immediately went outside and waiting awhile until it was drier, but better communication would have been welcome. After the job was completed the second day, when I called Kim to tell her about all the hairs, instead of apologizing and offering to come back and see what could be done, her attitude was outrageous. She was incredulous and first said it was something that would go away in time. (It's a year later and the hairs are still there.) She then returned about a week and a half later and did a very messy job on the powder room floor removing the hairs there. She was resentful about the complaint, although she clearly admitted many hairs were embedded around the house. She actually suggested they "might have been" there before the job was done. (Forgetting, I suppose, that the job including cleaning as well as sealing the floors.) After listening politely throughout the time she was in our home to many of Kim's excuses why she was late (dropped her cell phone in the water when boating, etc.) and hearing her disparage and gossip about other customers, I was told in the end that I had been rude to her! My husband and I could not believe her lack of professionalism. We would recommend not using this company unless you believe the customer is always wrong!

I sold flooring for a national distributor for many years and started stain sealing and Saltillo refinishing on weekends 20 years ago for fun and extra money. I realized I loved the transformation I could make in people’s homes and I really enjoyed the work so I started the Grout Connection full time. My daughter and a good friend of mine work for me, periodically we need additional help, but usually it’s the three of us. The girls have a dance for me, remember the old YMCA dance? Well they do an OCD dance in my honor, one time a customer joined them. I really take pride in my work and I want my customers to be thrilled with the final product and the cost. Yes, we were 14 minutes late to [Member Name Removed] home on the first day, my husband jumped into the lake with my I phone in his pocket the day before, Melinda’s cell number was in my phone and I could not retrieve it, I called her home number but no one answered. I apologized repeatedly for our tardiness, but [Member Name Removed] was furious. I re coated this house for the previous owner, a lovely woman who told me 3 weeks after the job was completed she was convinced her home sold so quickly due to our work. She gave my number to [Member Name Removed] when she damaged her office floor, I repaired and resealed her office, and also for no additional charge touched up a bathroom that had some wear in 2013. In 2014 [Member Name Removed] had me out to give her an estimate to re coat her floors I did point out some damage and some hairs. [Member Name Removed] was not concerned and asked me to do the best I could. We did, and we did additional repairs at no additional charge. The first day when they were leaving for a few hours I said “no foot traffic until after 5 PM and socks only.” At 3:25 PM [Member Name Removed] called me from her house phone and said they walked in and their socks stuck to the floor. I apologized for not leaving a note, but thought our communications prior were clear. The next day we worked for over 2 hours removing sock marks and hairs/threads in the sealer from where they had walked all over the wet floor. I did not take a deposit prior to the job, I told [Member Name Removed] pay us when we complete the job and when you’re happy with the work. She paid us when we completed the work, she seemed very happy and then she started sending me horribly rude emails. She also called yelling at me on the phone, we returned three times attempting to correct the things that she found unacceptable. The last time we went to her home she showed us three hairs, I removed them and asked her to look to be sure that she was content with the entire floor, she would not get up from her computer to look around, and she told me she was sure it was fine. My daughter and I have very long hair that I assure you we wear up and generally in ball caps. We don’t want to get hair on the floor and honestly we don’t want to get cleaner and sealer in our hair. I have NEVER worked on Saltillo without my hair pulled back/up. The job was very stressful and I normally love working on floors. At one point we had Mr. [Member Name Removed] on one side of us and [Member Name Removed] on the other when he discovered she has been reading his personal emails, he was furious! There was no gossip about customers; we did not interact with [Member Name Removed] especially after her repeated negative racial comments towards my friend who works for me! This was a horrible experience, but I still wanted the customer to be happy with our work! I thought [Member Name Removed] was finally happy with our work, until I read this review that she posted over a year after the job was completed!?! We love doing work for Angie’s list customers and my hope is that this inaccurate account does not sway you from considering our company!

My twelve year old tiles and grout were looking tired. I contacted Kim at the recommendation Chris Golden of Complete Flooring. Kim came to the house and explained what she would be able to do to give us a new looking floor. We picked a new grout color and Kim very graciously re-arranged her schedule to accommodate the work before we have out of town guests. The work took about 6 hours to complete and we couldn't be happier. The floors look brand new. The grout looks perfect. I highly recommend Kim and the Grout Connection.

See above. The service performed was ceramic tile and grout cleaning/sealing.
Description of Work: I was extremely satisfied and happy with the results of the job well done by The Grout Connection. Kim is a wonderful person with which to do business. She gave me an estimate over the phone, and then measured when she got to my house and promptly told me the exact cost of the job. She was very accomodating in working with my schedule. We had to change the date which she happily did. She is very professional, hard working, friendly, and really loves the work that she does. When I saw my ceramic tile and grout all clean and sealed, I was ecstatic. Never in a million years did I think she could ever get it clean. She told me that my floor would look like brand new when she was finished, and she was right. What a beautiful job that she and her helper did. I am very happy. I would highly recommend her to anyone. And the price was right, too. They even got on their hands and knees to wipe up the floor in my whole house! I was so impressed about the attention to detail and my newly painted woodwork was not even damaged. They just did a great job!

Great.
Description of Work: Owner came out to provide an estimate. The repairs sounded so simple I decided to do it myself. She told me exactly what to do, how to do it and what products to buy. I didn't spend any money on her services. Best deal ever. If I had questions, she said I should call.

This was the best sealing job I have ever had. Kim was meticulous in her work. She repaired tiny cracks in the grout and put on several layers of sealer. I would use this company again. The price was less than the other quote I received, too.
Description of Work: Seal my large area of saltillo tile floor (about 800 square feet).
