I was thrilled with the cleanup of the bath tub and regrouting. Prior to the cleaning the tub was full of slime and scum, and just utterly disgusting to be in. After the technician’s cleaning, it was like new and no longer slippery. The cleaning of the tile was also excellent, leaving our bathroom to look like new. I couldn’t recommend this company and the quality and professionalism more. It truly feels like a bathroom remodel the way that the results came out.

We had our first floor tile and guest bathroom tile cleaned and regrouted by Mike and Colin. Both were prompt, professional and respectful of my home. Tile looks brand new! An amazing difference. Mike also gave me some good ideas on how to maintain and clean tile which I did not know. Great communication by the office staff. Highly recommend!

Response from The Grout Medic - West Southwest Chicagoland
I am sorry to hear of the problem with Ypres project, however; I believe there is a mistake on where this review is posted. I’ve searched our customer system where we log ALL contacts, even those we may not ultimately schedule even an estimate with and I see no record of your contacting us. I also searched our email and other referral sources other than Angie’s List, and also did not find your name. Finally, we do not do instillation of tile which is the project you described and so I think this too ads to my conclusion that you’ve posted your review to my business incorrectly. We do tile, grout and stone maintenance and repair but do O new tile installation. Since I can’t find your name in our system and since we don’t provide the service you need, I’m not sure I can help you but if you wish to discuss this further, please call our office.

Joe K. and his son did an absolutely amazing job on our tile floors on the first and second floors of our home, as well as our river rock floored master shower. I would recommend Joe to anyone that wants to bring their tile floors and showers back to life. They look brand new. Very competitively priced - we received quotes from 3 area tile cleaners. Highly recommend asking for Joe K. to clean your tile floors and/or showers.

The day of appointment, received a call that tech was not available and they would call back to reschedule at a later date. Within 30 minutes we got a call that they would be able to do the job that day. Tech was here within a short time and completed job in a timely manner. Looks great. Would definitely hire again.

Hired them to repair grout in our bathrooms. In the upstairs bath they grouted the shower white and the floor the custom grey I ordered. Will not re grout the shower unless I pay for it. Insists that I asked for white grout in the shower after an entire conversation about how the tile is crooked and matching grout would hide it. House is going on the market with mismatched grout

A painter won't repaint a room for free if the customer decides they don't like the color they agreed to. This is unfortunately a very similar problem. This is a situation where there was an unfortunate misunderstanding/miscommunication and review of the estimate/documentation provided to the customer. The estimate was completed, and it was clearly noted that the hall bathroom had white cs (color seal) and caulk in the tub area. This can be seen in the supporting documentation. [Hyperlink Removed] The floor, which was estimated separately, was to be done in Oyster Gray (as documented) or for an additional charge, a custom color. The customer opted for the custom color having clearly understood that option as documented, but they did not mention or suggest at any point that the color should also be used for the wall which was estimated to be done in white nor did they ask that the documentation be updated for this change at any point. When the job was done, the man at the house reviewed our work and approved it prior to the technician leaving. The documentation provided to the customer is fairly detailed with the steps to be done and colors to be used. When the question came up subsequently, we offered to redo the bathroom tub area which was originally done for $350, for a $70 service call fee. This offer was refused. In fact, this project was completed through a barter company and the barter company, after being contacted about the issue had offered to cover the $70 to resolve this issue but that offer also was not accepted. I regret that the matter has resulted in the customer being unhappy; however, we cannot redo work because the customer doesn't like the agreed upon color for free and remain in business. The offer to redo a $350 project for only $70 is very fair and remains available to the customer should they choose to accept this offer. Additionally, this matter was reported to the BBB. We are a BBB Accredited business with an A+ rating. The BBB determined that our response was sufficient and closed the complaint in our favor. We ALWAYS strive for the highest level of customer service and while we sincerely regret this situation, we believe our position was fair and this was confirmed by the BBB review process.

They came out for an estimate, the person who came out was very nice, and was in and out quickly. We scheduled a date for the service during his visit, and I offered deposit, but he said with such a small job it was not necessary. Come the day of the appointment no one showed up. Of course not many of us are off of work at 8 am on a Monday, so I took personal time for the service call. I called and spoke with Jenny, who was nice and apologized for what happened. My issue is there was no accommodation made on their side for the mistake. They gave me one day and time during the same week that they had open and that was it. I asked for another day possibly, and I was told it was the one time offered or it would have to be the following week. This wasn't my mistake, I have an estimate with a scheduled date and time on it. Yet, I have to fit there schedule. You would think with such a small job, probably 2 hours at most, someone would be able to come and get it done when it worked for the customer. Especially considering I mentioned I had to take time off work for this. I'm sure they do good work, they are highly rated, and mistakes happen. My only advice is to make sure you confirm your appointment and don't rely on the estimator to relay the scheduling commitment. Otherwise you will be out 2 days of work, because they won't make any offer to help.

I contacted this customer to apologize. We did have a breakdown in our systems resulting in this job not being scheduled. When I spoke to the customer, I said we greatly regret the error and obviously strive to not have this issue, but we did have a breakdown. After explaining the error, I offered to do the job on a future day/time that would work for them and offered to reflect an additional discount for the inconvenience of our error. The work was completed today, October 9th.
