Guy was from wasco, IL. Claimed he could clean between glass block. Didn’t work. Also Replaced grout. Put caulk over WET grout so color doesn’t match old grout. Scratches in marble floor. Caulk all over toilet. Dings on marble slab. We paid him in full just to get him out of our house so no more damage would be done. Have to rehire someone else to redo entire $600 job

Very well - I used them again for additional work (floor tile repair). I highly recommend this franchisee. They were prompt, professional, courteous, and did the work on time and cleaned up. Their prices were very reasonable for both jobs.

Great! They were very professional, time-efficient and organized. I am pleased with the job they did, and would recommend their services. My only gripe is the fee they charge for credit cards, but otherwise they're great!

Dennis and his team did a great job. The tile has many pores and over the years had gotten more challenging to get clean. He and his team brought the tile back to what it looked like when we put it in years ago. They were on time, neat and completed on time. I would highly recommend the Grout Doctor.

He was very good. He was very professional and very quick. We haven't had to rub down the shower since he came. Whatever he did, it stayed. It looks like new. He came in, explained what he was going to do and how it was going to work, and it did.

Absolutely thrilled with the service and repair work on my showers! We recently had some major yard work done and the shift in the foundation caused the grout in my 5 showers to crack. Dennis came out and gave an estimate and was able to complete the job in one day. He even replaced broken shelves and soap holders. One replacement needed extra time because the new fixture was slightly bigger than the old fitting. Clean up on my part was minimal - much less than I anticipated given all the grout and tile dust flying around - I would definitely use him again.

I called Dennis at Grout Doctor to repair the grout in and around my master bath shower, which has ceramic tile and glass block. Dennis has actually repaired the grout three years earlier, but due to our very rusty water, we needed him again! The grout on our glass block wall had become stained and was decaying. The grout between the ceramic tiles on the wall was also deteriorating in a few locations and just needed some TLC! I don't know the difference between caulk and grout; I just know that my shower needed work. Dennis came to our house and gave me an estimate and then scheduled the work for two weeks later. My shower looks like new again! All his work looks just as good as the original grouting. He is neat and completely cleaned up afterward. I highly recommend him because he is reliable, on-time and on-budget and the work is excellent! I would use him again if the grout needs a touch-up in another three years!

Dennis, the owner, came promptly when we called for the estimate. He knew exactly what our shower stall needed and did an itemized estimate (we had several coupons from this company and all were honored.) The job took 5 hours with one man (Doug) working, and we had to do very little preparation in advance. Doug arrived promptly when he said he would and was very exact in how long he predicted the job would take. The stall was perfectly cleaned, grouted, and caulked; we also opted for their optional and quot;Envirosealand quot; application to seal both the the tile and the grout.. The shower now looks better than new, and he did a great job cleaning up all the aftermath. We would definitely employ this company again and our only regret was that we hadn't called them even sooner!
Description of Work: We had this Grout Doctor completely regrout and recaulk then seal a fairly large shower stall with floor to ceiling tiling. It had been 13 years since it was grouted, and any recaulking had been diy and rather piecemeal.

The two gentlemen showed up late for an all day job at 10:00, by 6 pm they were not finished. When they left, I had a lot of clean up after them, there were chunks of grout and grout dust everywhere. I called to make appointment for them to finish the job and the owner of the franchise was rude to deal with, as if it was my fault the job was not done. One week later, grout has little holes in the grout seams (I have been notified that this means the grout was not mixed correctly), and the caulk looks like a child did it, it is truly a mess. Additionally, many of the tiles in one bathroom are now chipped from the grout removal. The grout in the main bathroom comes out in little clumps when wet. I called to ask owner to come take a look and he, in a negative tone said "Well, we were already out to your house twice". Yes, because they did not finish the first time. 100% of the work done has to be redone, and I now have to additionally get many tiles replaced as they are now chipped. I am in the process of filing a complaint with the corporate customer service to request my money back.

The Grout Doctor was great. We had a 10 year old shower that had a lof cracking in the grout and one corner was cracking so bad that we were afraid water would be getting in the wall. We hired the Grout Doctor since he gets great reviews in our area and had a fair price ($15 off service with coupon received in mailer). The job took about 5 hours. All gorut in the shower was stripped, replaced and the edges recaulked. Our shower looks great. He also did a great job cleaning up so it looked like a brand new shower without the mess! Would definitely hire again in the future.

OMG, Dennis arrived, immediately began work and transformed our poor crumbling floor into nearly brand new again. Just being on his knees for nearly two hours was a feat in itself. He matched the color nearly perfect , and I'm pretty fussy about that kind of thing. Can't say enough good things about the experience. Will highly recommend Dennis and would, and I'm sure will use his services again. A "Master" of his craft. Great job!!!
Description of Work: Dennis came over on a Saturday morning, gave us an estimate and I believe I called him within a couple days to make an appointment. We wanted to wait till after Thanksgiving. We had about twenty areas (maybe more) in our 12 year old ceramic tile floor that ran the gamut from cracking, to disintegrating, to just not there "grout"!!!

I wanted to get an estimate. The service man was very professional and friendly. His estimate seemed fair. We decided not to proceeed with the work just yet as we are prioritizing (with our budget) a couple other more urgent repairs. We will likely use the Grout Dr. once we decide to complete the job.

I thought the master bath estimate was a bit high. He has a relationship with a vendor in the area for me to get new shower door. He was professional, punctual and friendly. I have used his services before.
Description of Work: They came out to give an estimate to clean the tile in the shower and they also gave me an estimate to clean the grout and tile in the master bath. Then another estimate to clean a second hall bath that has the surround enclosure without seams and an estimate to recaulk the bottom of the tub.

It was fine. If we hire them in the future I can give a more full report.
Description of Work: We were asking for a QUOTE on cleaning tile, grout and re-sealing and re-doing the caulk in a bathroom. They came in and were totally professional. They really seemed to know what they were talking about. One of our issues is that we have the worlds cheapest corner shower in our bathroom. The rest is pretty standard. For the standard stuff it was a very straight forward and professional quote. I feel confident we will hire them in the near-ish future to do the work. The ugly corner shower however - they were in fact SO well informed and professional in describing what results I could expect and giving me a few suggestions that we are not even going to do the Grout Doctor thing right now. We might try to demo that shower and redo it and THEN have Grout Doctor in to clean all the rest in the bathroom. If they had been less helpful/friendly/professional I would have just hired them and been done with it. The only negative is that when we first contacted them by email they never got back to us. When we called it took about 36 hours, but someone did call back and we were able to get an apt pretty soon. Overall, I think they were excellent and plan to hire them in the future.

Dennis came first to make an estimate of the work needed and to performed. He let us know it was $75 per hour and that it would take anywhere from 3-5 hours to get this work done. Never did like 'hourly' rates but considering I wasn't about ready to tackle this job and I needed this done professionally so as to avoid future problems down the road we were agreeable. Dennis's son Jeff showed up as scheduled to perform the work. Jeff was a very likeable fellow who started right out on the job and had a good work ethic. Although I was at home I left Jeff alone to do his work and actually, despite paying hourly, kept trying to have him take a break or offering him soft drinks to let him rest a bit but it was difficult. During the work Jeff explained that the previous grout was done with a harder 'binder' in the walk-in shower area and this was taking a little longer than expected. I understood and was accepting of the fact since there was lot more pounding and grout saw action going on in that particular aspect of the job. Jeff actually end up finishing all work after seven hours (7) and I was prepared to pay what I owed but Jeff actually knocked off an hour and only charged me for six (6) hours overall which was very much appreciated! His work after completion and my inspection appeared clean, professional, and thorough. Jeff should of been around later when my wife arrived home from work since she was EXTREMELY happy and couldn't stop talking about the great work that Jeff and the GROUT DOCTORS had performed. Her adulations went on for about three days afterwards!!! Kudo's to Jeff!!

I found the company on Angies List, gave them a call and although they were out of town, they returned my call. After they were back in town, Dennis came over and thoroughly checked each bathroom, gave me a price and we set up a date for the work. He called me later that evening and got me rescheduled because of a cancellation, which was great. Jeff came out and did a great job, very neat as well. He was so quiet with the second half of the job that our toddler granddaughter slept right through his working.
