Re-grouting
“Nothing shows the wear of a home more than dirty or discolored grout.” Grout joints will typically begin to deteriorate and discolor in the tub or shower area over a period of time while your tiles themselves may maintain their original beauty and shine. Our process of grout removal and replacement will give you that “new” look at a fraction of the cost of replacement. The job is performed in one day without the hassle of removal and installation; you will have full use of your shower again within 48 hours.
Cleaning and Sealing
The Grout Experts will apply an environmentally safe solution to your floor that is designed to pull dirt out of the pores of grout joints. We then use our advanced steam vapor cleaning process to eliminate traffic patterns in your grout. Once your floor has been cleaned and rinsed; a clear, penetrating sealer is applied to protect your grout joints from future discoloration.

It went very well. They did a professional job and they were considered about how things were. They cleaned off the old stuff fairly well. The only disconnect was that I assumed the quote was covering one thing, but it wasn't. It's not a big deal, but there was just some communication issue there about what I thought was going to happen. But the guy who came out said that he would take care of that and he included it in the original quote.
Description of Work: I have used The [Trademark Redacted] for cleaning the grout in our master bath. They did the shower and floors. Then they resealed it and caulked the shower.

Rep arrived to give us estimate at exactly the time promised 8:30 am. Was very professional and gave us a detailed summery of the work they would do and the cost. Later in the week the wrk was done and the repairman Nick was excellent and did a wonderful job. He was very neat, took off shoes at entrance to our unit and did a careful and clean job overall. I could not be more pleased with the professionalism and quality of work I received. Outstanding in every respect.

Mike came out a couple of days after calling to get quote and he was great. Explained the process and provided a detailed quote on what would be done and how long things might take. I scheduled with them a couple days later to have the work done. Representative arrived on time to do the work and he was professional and courteous. He got right to work and finished in about 1 1/2 hours. Work was completed as quoted and a good job was performed. Bathroom was clean when rep left. I would definitely recommend to a friend or family if needed in the future. Thanks for prompt and efficient service!

The [Trademark Redacted] was excellent! They were totally honest in their estimate & were on time & did a fantastic job. I can't imagine it could have gone any better with anyone else. We had such a disappointing result from the people who tiled our bathroom & The [Trademark Redacted] took care of all the things forgotten and did if for a very reasonable price. I will call them again for any related project.

Kevin was very helpful in deciding what work needed to be done. He provided suggestions as the scheduling of the work and how to prepare for it all to be done. The workmen were prompt, efficient. and very polite. Someone from the company called to ask about a slight change in the schedule. It was soon enough that I could work it out to be there for the later time. The work was done very professionally. The men left the work areas clean when they were done. I will hire The [Trademark Redacted] again if I need more work to be done.
Description of Work: The grout and caulking in a shower were redone. A loose floor tile was rebound and the grout in the bathroom floor was painted. Another tub/shower was re-caulked and the grout was cleaned and sealed The back splash on a double sink counter was caulked.

We recently had extensive work done in our master bathroom. After contacting the firm, Kevin Ferrera came out promptly to provide the quote. When the work was scheduled, over three days, all the technicians arrived on time, removed their shoes to avoid soiling the carpet on the way to the bathroom, worked diligently to complete their work and left the bathroom free of debris. The bathroom's appearance has been dramatically enhanced and the final result has met our expectations.

Both bathrooms came out very nice like new. Tim removed his shoes at the entry of the house. He did a great job in removing the old grout and chalk. The tiles look very nice. I need to explain that Tim was late because the date he came, the streets were flooded and some were closed due to that heavy rain the night before and it was beyond his control.
Description of Work: I had two bathroom regrouted. One is a standing up shower with doors, the other bathroom has a tub and shower curtain. The old grout and chalk were removed and re-applied.

I found them on Angie’s List and I thought their pricing was reasonable. They were good except the fact that they guy who initially came out did not see some things that needed to be fixed. The people from the company were nice and polite. I have nothing bad to say against them. Their quality of work was excellent and I did not have any problems. I even had their cell phone numbers and there were no communication problems.

I was incredibly impressed with The [Trademark Redacted] and would highly recommend them! They were very professional -- from the people I spoke with to set up my estimate, to Mike who came over to provide an estimate, to Nick to performed the work at our condo. On the day that Mike was scheduled to come for the estimate, there was bad traffic, so he called me ahead of time to say that he'd be running ten-fifteen minutes late. I greatly appreciate his calling me to give me the head's up. The [Trademark Redacted] was also very flexible in changing my time slot after I called them two days before my scheduled appointment and told them that I wanted some additional work done. They also are incredibly reasonable in their pricing. The best part is the finished product -- my bathroom and kitchen counter look awesome now!
Description of Work: We had our master bathroom shower regrouted and sealed. In addition, for a very small additional charge, they regrouted the floor of our master bathroom and our kitchen counter.

The tub reglazing was great. No complaints. Professional, courteous, good work. I had a little trouble with the first gentleman who came to do the grout. He was in a hurry to leave and I wasn't happy with the results and he was very rude and angry. when I called the office about this later they were very apologetic and immediately wanting to see what they could do to fix this. They immediately scheduled a second person to come out to complete the work to satisfaction, no additional charges. They were very professional and accommodating in the office. The second gentleman who came out to grout was very courteous, professional and did a great job. Overall I was very pleased with the work and their responsiveness/customer-focus. I would recommend them.

I was impressed with the estimator and scheduled the work but the worker was a little sloppy. He did an OK job and complained that I made him fix a spot. I could have done better myself but for $155 I was happy to hire someone else. Its good enough for a rental property but for my own home I would not be satisfied.

I arranged for an estimate and Kevin showed up right on time. He looked over the work I needed done. We divided the job into tow parts and part one has been completed. Kevin was helpful in explaining the procedure. I was able to pick the color of the grout seal which allowed me to decide what look I wanted. You could have contrasting color or color that matched the tiles. The technician, Rocky, came on time and did a wonderful job. Everything was cleaned up and the floor looks great.

Very professionally. See above comments. What would have taken me all weekend, took the [Trademark Redacted] 2 hours.
Description of Work: Recaulked whole tub and surrounding tile walls and glass box window. Used correct caulk - not the generic garbage from Home Depot. Cleaned out all old caulk. Also regrouted sink/counter backsplash and explained what product was best suited. Appreciated the before-project instructions of not using bath area for the previous 24 hours as area needs to be dry. Also appreciated post-job instructions. Done in a very professional - not handyman - manner.

He showed up on-time and was professional from start to finish. He suggested a grout color different than the one on the repair order that was a better match with my tiles, which I really appreciated. He could have just blindly done what was on the repair order but instead took a personal interest in my particular job. When he was finished, the tile, grout and caulk looked brand new! I especially appreciated how well he cleaned up any residual caulk dust, etc. Will definitely use [Trademark Redacted] in the future and recommend them to my friends and neighbors.

Kevin came out to fix my grout on my tile, assessed the job, then out another guy and the guy said that what I was told was wrong for the job. It cost me much more that what I was thinking so I just felt like the assessment was a very dishonest job. He overlooked that the concrete holding the tile would not adhere with what I needed. As well as some of the tile I had was coming loose as well. The guy who came out gave me an entirely different assessment. The job was mediocre job as well.

Response from Grout Expert
Initially, this job was assessed as a regrout / recaulk the shower. When the technician arrived at the customer's home and starrted the work, the tile which was laid in cement and chicken wire (common in the 1950s) started coming off the wall. At this point the technician recommended a total demolition. As he got into the job the threshold was also rotted and saturated and needed to be replaced. During this process, the tech was asked to go to the tile store with the customer several times which extended the length of the job. A normal job of this type would have been approxs $3500 due to the difficulty of the old cement walls. We felt we were giving him a deal at $2800, even though he was there for four days. To our surprise the customer challenged the price of $2800. During the process, the technician kept the customer informed of the cost of the job, and replied to do whatever it took to get the job completed. We agreed to accept his cost of $2450.
