He was real professional, It was just that he was too high. He seemed like he didn't want to do the work.

Response from The Grout Medic - West Southwest Chicagoland
I'm sorry that you found our price to be too high. The issue was that each wall in the 3 wall shower had potential loose tile and water damage. Most would probably have simply indicated that the shower should be completely redone as tiles needed to be removed and cleaned to be reused while damaged wallboard likely required replacement. We don't do full demolition work and some people don't want to do that, they want to save their original tile for one reason or another. Our quote was to repair the significant damage and for the extent of work required (again each of 3 walls were damaged), we believe our price was reasonable and competitive.

They did a great job and I felt there were very honest about work that was truly needed and work that was more aesthetic/optional.

The tile and tub in our Master bathroom look MUCH better than they did before. In fact, "the Grout Medic" completely regrouted the tile of the Master shower/tub instead of doing just the grout touch-ups he had initially proposed when he came out to give us a price quote as part of the cleaning because it was the "right thing to do" to make it look its best. He did this a no extra cost for his labor. As for the tile floor of the guest bathroom, it looks like new. I would definitely hire him again.
Description of Work: We had the tub and shower in our Master bathroom cleaned and recaulked. We also had the grout of the tile floor in our guest bathroom redone.

I requested the guy I have used in the past and they originally scheduled him and then called and changed to a different guy. I told them I really wanted Joe as he always does a great job and I am very happy with him and did not want someone else. They sent a different guy and he changed the color of the caulk used on my bathtub which is too dark and does not match my grout. The caulk he replaced in the shower has bumps and bubbles. I complained about the color of the caulk while he was here and he said that if I did not like it, to call them back and he will come back and change it to a matching color with the grout (the way it was and from what I understand is how it is typically done). The owner called me back and was asking all kinds of questions. Clearly, they don't like to come back for anything and make things right. This is not the first time this has happened with this company. It seems they want to do their job, collect their money, and be done with you. I did complain that this happened before where caulk they had placed in a shower was bubbling and I told them I would pay for them to come fix it and it was like pulling teeth getting them here. He did give me a full refund but I will never use them again.

Response from The Grout Medic - West Southwest Chicagoland
While we always want to please our customers, meeting or exceeding their expectations, we also recognize there are situations where that may not be possible because expectations are unreasonable. Our ability to meet our customer's expectations is supported by our other ratings here on Angie's List and our achieving the Super Service award for the last 4 years running as well as other recognition from Home Advisor and the Better Business Bureau. We most certainly stand behind any work we complete. In the many years I've owned the Grout Medic, I've never walked away from a job that was something we could accomplish before or since this incident; however, based on our experience with the prior project and the requests beginning again after this second project I concluded that it was best to end this customer relationship.

They were able to schedule the job within a couple weeks. The work was well done and looked like a new shower.
Description of Work: They responded quickly to my inquiry and set up a time to look at the job. They provided an estimate for the grouting and a couple options for the shower floor. The pricing seemed reasonable for the work required.

I am beyond happy with the work they did and how they went out of their way to make sure I was satisfied.
Description of Work: I had work done in 3 bathrooms. In the master bath, they clean and resealed the grout in the tile floor. It looked like brand new. In the small powder room, they steam cleaned the grout in the shower and cleaned and sealed the floor. It also looked 100% better. In the 3rd bathroom, they removed the grout from the bathtub surround tiles, re-grouted and sealed. Then they recaulked around the tub. It looks absolutely amazing. I had one concern about place they missed (which I noticed because everything else looked so good) and the owner came out to look at it. He acknowledged the problem, pointed out it wasn't in the original estimate (and he was correct) but said it was no big deal and he'd take care of it. He came out a couple of days later and touched up that spot and a few others, spent about an hour at my house and didn't charge me a cent!

They did a wonderful job. The price must have been good or my husband would not have used them. They were time and they were professional while they were here. They cleaned up after themselves.

It took a while to complete due to my work schedule but they were very flexible. Mike was able to reuse the tiles (good thing since the color is no longer available). The tub wall looks new as well as the tub! Everyone was very professional. What a great alternative to redoing the bathroom. Couldn't be happier with the results.

The owner, Ron, couldn't have been more nicer or accommodating. Considering the tile floor was very old and not professionally installed, the grout lines were uneven and very dirty. Ron did the work and spent a considerable amount of time cleaning and sealing. The end result is a floor that is gleaming and looks beautiful. I highly recommend Ron and The Grout Medic!

Job went very well. I called for an estimate for my vacant rental home, Ron sent out a worker to look at the job, and called back with an estimate. The work was done the following Monday (in 3 days), and because I live an hour away, Joe (the worker) sent lots of pictures showing the extent of the work. The color looks great, it's clean (cleaner than I expected was possible), the tiles gleam, and the grout looks like new. I'm a very happy customer. The price was very reasonable too. I would highly recommend The Grout Medic (Ron & Joe) to anyone looking for this type of work.
Description of Work: Cleaned old, filthy grout, patched and replaced broken and missing grout, matched new grout color to existing grout, and color sealed the basement bathroom floor. Cleaned and polished the tile.

It went great. For a fairly small cost they totally solved some of our recurring nagging issues in our shower, and brought the first floor bathroom to a higher level of quality beyond what we had expected-great impact. All the work was fantastic. They were very responsive to our requests.

Ron arrived on time to inspect and provide quote. He went over all of the details. Based on the information, we set up a time for the work. The staff came out on time, were prepared, described the process, performed the service, and discussed methods to maintain the new appearance. Excellent job. Floor looks like new with nice, clean grout lines. I would totally recommend this service to anyone with absolutely no hesitation. Very, very satisfied. Thanks!!!!
