Started on the wrong shower on the first visit, missed dozen grout lines on the first visits, very sloppy and rushed. 2nd main shower visit: Dirty hand print on the on the bedroom wall, left door open while working grout dust all over the bedroom. Sloppy work. Shower floor grout left 72 hours after completed and flaked all off with the touch of water. Never again. Now I have to fix their mistakes myself, which is what I should have done in the first place. Estimator will like to talk though.

There are two sides to every story, we never want to leave our customers unhappy with the work we complete. We have a 1 year warranty on all jobs and are more than happy to fix any issues our customers may feel was not done correctly at first. As for not completing the master bathroom first, the tech that was at your house does not specialize in cement board repair so we had to start with the guest bathroom. When the second tech was sent the following week, he was able to complete the cement board in the master as well as clean up any concerns you had in the guest bathroom. The job was completed and you provided our tech with a check for all the work completed, if you still had further issues, we would have been more than happy to fix anything further for you.

The service was horrible. There was stain and color seal all over our tiles, not in the grout lines and there was caulk just thrown in clumps all along the joints. We had the estimator return and he was horrified by the job their tech had done so rescheduled their “best tech” to come redo the job. The day he was supposed to arrive he was 3 hours late with no call or anything to say he would be late. When we called the office they said they had to “find him” and shortly after the same tech who botched the first job showed up. We kicked him out and called the office. The company’s president, Kevin, refused to return our calls but the office manager was able to reschedule again and finally later that week Sonny, the “best tech” showed up and redid the entire job. Sonny’s work was much better but when we finally got in touch with Kevin (when he wanted to collect payment) he was extremely unhelpful, unapologetic and just asked if the final job was acceptable and said that’s the only thing he cares about. If you’re able to take several days off work and don’t mind having to repeatedly reschedule and wait for the “right guy” to redo the job then by all means hire these guys, otherwise steer clear!

We are sorry to hear that the job was not completed to a higher standard. Obviously in this business it runs on a day to day basis, things come up and jobs can often run shorter or longer than planned for. We apologize your tech did not reach out to you and let you know he was running late. Once you called our office, we made room on our schedule to get it fixed for you as soon as possible the following day. All work is under warranty for 1 year.

The tile was never cleaned as agreed to. After the job, I found soap scum that was supposed to be cleaned - there was a lot of it. One tile was replaced, but the grout around the tile was rough and never smoothed. In other areas, grout was applied on top the prior grout. This was obvious because the grout depth varied after the job. Some was recessed as it should be and some was thick and even with the surface of the tile. We were told that the grout was sealed, but it turned dark when it gets wet. Clearly, the grout was not sealed because sealed grout shouldn't change color when wet. This job was rushed and not professionally completed.

The estimate and job were for caulking and grout cleaning. When the tech arrived he said the grout was bad and it needed to be regrouted. He did do the regrout at no extra cost which is normally ($350). he removed the old caulk and replaced with new. There was never a discussion about removing the fixture plate which is something we DO NOT DO. We are not plumbers and do not mess with customers fixtures at any time. We were going to have someone come back the next day, however you refused to let us fix any issues that you may have had, We offered at least 10 times and you got belligerent and we sent your money back. This review is not even close to the actual issues that occurred.

Hi, We removed the tile to prepare for the plumber. We left it so he could remove when he needed and caulked it. What happened after we did that is from the plumber, not Grout Experts. This is the first time we are hearing anything that was done incorrectly. We left you several messages and you have failed to return our calls.

The grout resealer was applied with a Sherwin Williams outdoor style paint. It was applied with a brush and done a bit sloppy. He cleaned up as he went along but there is paint/sealer on the tile. He also missed spots i did not see until after he left and the appropriate dry time was complete. The caulking was ok though. For a professional I expected more

Our experience with Grout Experts was great! Mike came by to do our estimate and kindly answered our many questions. Kevin sent reminders via phone, text, and email about our upcoming appointment for the repairs. Tobi came today and repaired a section of our shower wall, where the tiles were starting to come off the wall due to improperly mixed mortar. He also regrouted and recaulked in both of our bathrooms and our kitchen sink. He also attached a large piece of backsplash that had never been attached to the wall. Tobi also kindly and patiently answered our questions and let us inspect the work when done and fixed up minor things we noticed (we are very particular!). He also gave us suggestions on what we could do to maintain our grout and marble tiles, which we appreciated. He left our bathrooms looking wonderful! We are so happy with the work Tobi did and would happily call on Grout Experts again for any future grout or caulk work that needs to be done in our home. It was such an easy, stress-free process, on top of the careful workmanship, which is what I value when it comes to home repairs. Thank you so much, Tobi and Grout Experts!

I called for a quote before we put our condo on the market. They (Mike) came out the next day. While we didn't need the work done immediately, when we did, they quickly scheduled the service to exactly fit into our timing. Arrived on time and did a FANTASTIC job. Our two bathrooms needed grouting in many spots - shower, tubs, and floors and they delivered fast and superior work. Very efficient and professional. I highly recommend them. The price was so reasonable for the product they delivered. Our bathrooms look perfect again. Kudos to Kevin and his team - Mike and John.

I couldn't have been happier. Mike and Carlos worked with me to create a bathroom that exceeded every expectation. Mike made himself available every hour of the day, no exceptions. His creativity and design capabilities are incredible. Carlos is tremendously detail oriented, and his skills with tilework will leave you in awe.

It was great! The guy who came out was great and on time. He provided great suggestions. The person who came to tear it out was phenomenal and even fixed a couple other things going above and beyond his scope of work. Very nice and efficient. Took it upon himself to clean up incredibly well which was very refreshing. They were super accommodating when it came to scheduling as well to make things more efficient.
