Bruce was exceptional and honest with all of our questions. He even gave us a coupon or discount. We had gotten 3 estimates before choosing Bruce. His employee Shae was professional and did a great job, even removing the shower doors, without damaging our home. I would highly recommend them. They also recommended Churchill glass who was exceptional as well. We were very pleased and highly recommend their work.

Bruce was great to work with. Prompt and professional at the estimate. I was not impressed by the quality of work . . . there was still staining on my tile and grout and the silicone lines were crooked and uneven. I contacted Bruce and within 24 hours, another tech was at my house inspecting the job and ensuring my satisfaction. Due to my scheduling restrictions, the job was not able to be redone/completed for a week, but they were very accommodating to my scheduling needs and completed the job to my satisfaction on a Saturday.
Description of Work: Cleaned the grout, tile and surround of our master shower. Replaced grout joints with silicone and replaced the silicone around shower enclosure.

The tub and tile surround look new, and there are no longer any leaking problems. During the consultation, I was told that the quality of grout and other products they use are superior to what is commonly used, and why it's better. Couldn't afford to have the tile floor cleaned and sealed, but will have them do that in the future. As well as the entire master bathroom.
Description of Work: Regrouted tub surround, removed broken tile soap dish, and repaired that spot with tile. Clean and caulked the entire interior and exterior of the tub. Sealed it all as well.

I got a few estimates on this work and I knew when I talked to Bruce that they were the most knowledgeable and proposed the best solution. They were very responsive and accountable (I can't say the same for others that I called) and I thought the price was in the expected ballpark given the labor intensiveness of this work. The job was completed in 1 day (it took all day) and it looked like a brand new shower even with old tile. They did dismantle the old shower enclosure and hauled it off because I had someone coming the next day to install a new shower enclosure. I highly recommend the grout medic for any tile work needed and wish I had used them for my floors that I had retiled a few years ago. I could tell from talking to Bruce that they would have done a better job.

The owner (Bruce) came over in late May for an estimate. He listened to what we wanted them to do and suggested some additional services that they could do at the same time. He helped us consider which custom color caulking to use to achieve the desired effect. After Bruce's visit, he quickly provided a detailed estimate and indicated that we could select any or all of the individual services. We elected to have most of the proposed work done, with two exceptions. The work was scheduled approximately three weeks after the estimate which fit well our vacation schedule. They estimated that all the work would take about 1-1/2 days. On the agreed upon day, their technician (Greg) showed up on time and got to work. He worked from about 9:00 to 3:30 on the first day and 9:00 to 1:00 on the second. All the work was very professional. I was quite pleased. Each day, Greg cleaned up the work site and gave us instructions regarding letting the grout and caulking set. I was very pleased with Grout Medic. They do professional work and communicate well. I used them a few years to clean and seal the grout in our kitchen and did not hesitate to use them for the current job.
Description of Work: Replaced caulking in three bathrooms; cleaned and sealed grout in three bathrooms; removed, cleaned and reinstalled shower door.

Trey was the only one who did the work and he was extremely professional and did an excellent job. I am thrilled with the results of every room. I thought since only one technician came that it would take all day but Trey started at around 9 am and was finished by 1:30. He never took a break and worked efficiently. I will definitely be recommending The Grout Medic to all my friends.

Grout Medic was great to work with. Bruce gave a very good initial consult, and was very responsive with additional follow up questions and scheduling details. Greg did a wonderful job with recaulking in the kitchen and bathrooms, and regrouting of a shower, which involved removing a shower door. Greg was punctual, friendly, and cleaned everything up nicely, too. Lastly, the warranty offered by Grout Medic was better than other providers I evaluated, which shows that they stand behind the quality of their work. We are very happy with the result and would definitely consider using Grout Medic again should the need arise!

Bruce Lane was very responsive and gave me good information in our initial consultation. Shay and Dean arrived on day one and were both very easy to work with and talented at what they do. They finished the project in two days and did an excellent job!
Description of Work: Grout medic rejuvenated our master bath shower and tub. They removed two rows of outdated tile embedded in other tile and replaced it with new tile we chose. They also cleaned the entire tub surround and shower area and regrouted everything. They made our space look like new which was just what we wanted!

i am completely satisfied with the work performed by Grout Medic. Everyone involved was punctual, courteous, and skilled in performing the their duties. In a couple of areas they pointed out problems that I was not aware of and we agreed on price adjustments that enabled the needed work to be performed while they were on the premises. I highly recommend the Grout Medic team.

It went as good as can be expected in my opinion. What started as a "routine" re-grout and seal job turned expensive very quickly when we realized that my shower pan had failed and had saturated the subfloor. After a call with the owner, he re-bid the job and his installer completed the work to our satisfaction. The reason why a "C" given for price was that we were not able to obtain competitive bids due to the urgency of the situation and therefore do not know if the price was higher or lower than what others would have quoted.
Description of Work: Replaced shower drain pan, subfloor, re-tiled, grouted, and re-installed shower enclosure.

The Grout Medic came to our home within a couple of days of our call. They quoted the same day, scheduled service and completed the work in little more than a week. We have a large area of tile that was cleaned and treated to change the grout color from a darker to a lighter color. Two coats were required and were completed within a single day. The quality of work was exceptional. They did an excellent job even in tight spaces so that the old color grout is simply not visible any more. The cost was slightly on the higher side but that is what you need to pay to get the best job. I will use them at my next opportunity.
Description of Work: We had floor tile installed in the kitchen area, a hall, a half bath and the laundry room in 2001 and at the suggestion of a designer the grout used matched the color of the darkest color in a floor tile. We are updating the kitchen now and wanted grout in a much lighter color. The Grout Medic steam cleaned the floor and recolored the grout.

Bruce was pleasant to deal with. The work quality seems fine, but essentially the estimate was for way more time than was actually required. After a difficult conversation, he did lower the price by 10%; but still we felt overcharged.
Description of Work: We suggest using a great deal of caution with this provider. Bruce estimated a three day job, which turned out to be ~10 hours. He did adjust downward the price by 10%, but we feel we were overcharged. Quality of the work was fine.

Response from The Grout Medic - Raleigh Durham & Chapel Hill
When I estimate a job the square footage and the tile size and grout size how clean or dirty the grout and or tiles are how much caulking needs to be removed ect... is factored in to the price I give. The time involved is a guess. I cant know easy or hard it will be to remove the grout and caulking, or how esay or hard it will be to clean the tiles ect... I estimated your job to be 2 1/2 days ( in your home 3 days ) I was wrong this time but that wasn't the basis for the price you were given. I did give you a 10% discount because I guessed wrong. Thank you for saying the job quality is good because you rated that a B. Responsiveness and Punctuality was also given a B but we were there on time and when we said we would be there. You called us I came out did the estimate you then scheduled the job Trae came out and did a good job. I thought that those should be A's. Most of the jobs I estimate are closer to the time I am estimating, sometimes we are done early and some times we are done later in the end I am "estimating" what I think it will be and I am sorry I was wrong.

I am not sure how this happened. When an estimate is scheduled the computer auto generates an email and sends it to you confirming the date of the appointment and then saves the email as a communicatios log entry. There isn't a record that the email was sent to you. What this means is according to our records you did not set up an appointment and thats why I didnt know about it. My appologies and I will have my scheduler contact you.

The initial process with The Grout Medic was very pleasant. Bruce warned me that they were about 3 weeks out from being able to schedule a job, arrived on time for the estimate and returned the estimate via email. My experience quickly turned sour after this time. As I was having to have a window replaced prior to the grout work to begin, I was working with another contractor to schedule him and then the Grout Medic. The Grout Medic and the other contractor spoke several times and scheduled 2 days they could come in one after the other to complete the bathroom. After learning this date would not be until a month and a half later, I called the other contractor to say we needed to get the window replaced as soon as possible and that I would find another grout company if The Grout Medic was the reason we were being delayed so long. The window was installed 2 weeks prior to the original date quoted by The Grout Medic I then attempted to call The Grout Medic and left at least 2 messages for them to call me back to schedule them and I never heard from them again until they were on the way to my house (a month and a half later). Where then Bruce left me a very rude phone message stating that I should have let him know that I had found another company as his workers needed paychecks and if I was backing out on a job, he could not provide them with that. The customer does not hold the burden to provide paychecks to his employee when it was the incompetencies of his office that messed up our business relationship. I was able to find another Grout Company who did a fantastic job with a much quicker turn around time and $300 cheaper. Bruce's haughty and demeaning attitude following this very negative experiene has me all the more happy I did not let his company back in my home.
Description of Work: Bruce came by my house to do an estimate for replacing bathroom shower tiles that were loose and grout was missing that was subsequently causing leaks into the downstairs. He was very accommodating to come after I got off work and was on time. He later emailed a quote in a timely manner.

Response from The Grout Medic - Raleigh Durham & Chapel Hill
I had told you that it is difficult to keep employees working and if you had used another company to provide you service 2 weeks before that you should have called me to cancel and not wait till the day we show up to tell me that you cancelled. It is hard to keep people working so they have paychecks. I estimated the work on May 3oth and we spoke and or emailed or spoke with the window contractor quite a few times in that time according to the window contractor you had the window installed about 2 weeks ago the date as I type is 9-4-2012. On July 16th you called and let us know you were interested in having the work done. I had to wait for the window to be installed before I could do our work. You had the window installed aprox 2 weeks ago and we were scheduled to come out 1 week ago. So that is 1 week later not a month and a half. I think reponsiveness should be an A because that is less than the 3 weeks that I told you it could be. The price would have been $1225.00 to rebuild half the wall and a bunch of bullnose on your tub and that is replacing the studs and the backer boards retiling and regrouting the enire tub. You might think that is a price I think that is a fair price you can always find someone cheaper I will never cut corners and I will never use cheap products to make repairs. I dont pretend to be the cheapest however I am the best and I will be there if anything goes wrong to stand behind what we do. You gave me a bad report because I called you and let you know that cancelling the day a job is to start is bad when you knew 2 weeks prior and could have cancelled then; because it is hard. You just had to send an email. Have a wonderful day and god bless

All work was performed as promised. Our tile areas look like new- no, better than when it was new! We are very pleased. Rick did the entire job working alone. He is a very hard and steady-working technician. He did everything that was promised. We would definitely recommend the restoration work from Grout Medic.
