It went great. John was on time and did an amazing job on both the shower and the kitchen. He was quick, in by 8 a.m. and done around noon. We think it was a great value.
Description of Work: We had our shower re-grouted because it was old and stained. Also we had the grout on our countertop in the kitchen patched and then cleaned.

Secretary was abrupt & rude on the phone more than once. His service was great although he maybe a bit forgetful as I had him schedule another appt for grout & marble work for 2 more baths- work he never documented it on his daily schedule. Then his secretary phoned me and said she didn't know anything about it. 1 month later still no work done I had tried to call more than once on this for him to come back. He is apparently over booked.
Description of Work: Re-grouted tub area.

When you call the company you never speak to a real person on the phone. It sends you to a voice mail that asks for you name, phone number, and zip code so they can call you back. I have called them three times and have not once got a call back from the company.

I called on April 24. The Grout Doctor was out until May 1, so I left a message. Beth returned my call immediately. We made an appointment for estimate on May 22, which I then had to reschedule to May 28. On May 28, John arrived and looked at my concerns. He gave me his professional opinion and an estimate for what he could do. We scheduled the work for June 18, his first available. One June 18, John arrive promptly and finished the work in 90 minutes.
Description of Work: Repaired crack in shower wall and step. Recaulked at curb and door. Matched grout color to existing.

John came to give us an estimate within one day. We scheduled the work for about 10 days out. John arrived on-time, did exactly what he said he would, with some extras thrown in. He completed the work on-time, left the rooms looking great, did a fine job and was tolerant of our barking little dogs. His work looks fine, nice and neat, and well finished. I am a real estate agent and have seen lots of work, good and bad. I would not hesitate to recommend John to any of my clients in the future.
Description of Work: We needed to have damaged wall and loose tiles repaired and replaced in our bathtub surround and bathroom sink counter. We also needed to have a well-used area of kitchen counter tile re grouted and sealed and caulked. While showing John the areas to be worked on, he had some good suggestions for additional small details that made the completed work look really nice.

John called to schedule an inspection and estimate, and appeared at the scheduled time. He gave us a written estimate which included a $20 Angie's List discount. John didn't appear at the scheduled time for the work (he landed in the hospital), but we received a call and our work was rescheduled. John appeared to do the work on time, did the work in three hours, and did a nice job cleaning up where he had worked. Our shower and countertops look like new. John is pleasant, businesslike, and I plan to call him again when I update our other bath. Below I checked that I got what I paid for with other workers I sometimes haven't felt like that, but it's really a pleasure working with John.
Description of Work: Regrouted our shower stall and regrouted marble countertops in bathroom and kitchen.

I called him back in March to schedule the service and he never called back. I thought maybe my message wasn't clear so I called back again a couple weeks ago and he still hasn't called me back. If he isn't interested in the job, I would have expected at least a call back to let me know.
Description of Work: In January, I had the grout doctor come out for an estimate to fix my kitchen countertop grout (it is dirty and cracked in places). He was prompt and provided an estimate on the spot. He even reviewed other areas in the house to see if anything needed to be fixed. His price was reasonable and he seemed very knowledgeable.

JOHN GAVE ME A PROMPT AND ACCURATE ESTIMATE. WE SCHEDULED THE REPAIR FOR ONE WEEK LATER. HE ARRIVED ON THE PROPER DATE, BUT LATE, WHICH HE APOLOGIZED FOR. HE HAD TO LEAVE ONCE TO GET THE EXACT MATCH FOR THE GROUT. HE WAS FINISHED WITHIN HIS TIME FRAME OF 1/2 A DAY. THE WORK WAS METICULOUSLY DONE AND LOOKED LIKE NEW!
Description of Work: THE GROUT SURROUNDING MY SHOWER/TUB (ALMOST 30 YEARS OLD) WAS WORN AWAY AND ALLOWING WATER TO LEAK DOWN INTO THE KITCHEN. JOHN REMOVED THE LOOSE TILES AND REPLACED THEM, REPAIRED THE DRYWALL BEHIND THEM, AND REFRESHED THE GROUT.

All I'd say is that I hope he wasn't in an accident or something else that prevented him to not show up or to not return any phone calls. Barring those, I do expect someone who makes an appointment to at least make a courtesy phone call to inform that they can't perform the scheduled work. The only way I'd hire him again is if he gives me sufficient discount to offset my time that was wasted, unless he had a legitimate reason or some extenuating circumstances.
Description of Work: John actually was a no show for the work. He came and gave me an estimate. He seemed like a nice guy. He was pleasant to talk with. I thought he did a good job in answering my questions. The whole estimate prices took about 15-20 mins. The work was to clean the grout, refill where necessary and seal it. We made an appointment for him to do the work two weeks later. I took a few hours off from work, did the prep work i.e moving all the stuff from the counters and leaving them empty. But he didn't show up. I waited 1.5 hours, made two calls. He didn't follow-up after, didn't return my calls. ($143)

John was here when he said he was going to be for the initial estimate, his price was a surprise to me as I thought it would have been higher. We scheduled the work to be done (about 2 weeks out) and he showed up exactly when he said he would to do the work. He stayed to task and worked hard scraping and cleaning the old grout. He didn't give it a lick and a promise at all. I've been in the residential construction industry for 35 years now and can tell a professional when I see one. John knows what he's doing and he does very good work.
Description of Work: Clean all grout in shower, on vanity and tile flooring in master bath and reseal, remove and recaulk shower in master bath and remove loose grout and regrout in small area near shower. Reset 6 granite bull-nosed self edge in kitchen and regrout them. Then clean all remaining grout on kitchen counter and island and reseal.

I discovered a crack in the caulking along the tub/shower ledge that was causing a drywall leak. (A plumber from another company failed to diagnose this leak, even after cutting a hole in my wall.) John did a great job. The caulking looks great, he stopped the leak & prevented any future leaks.

John gave me an estimate and came to do the work about a week later. He arrived on time and did excellent work. He cleaned, sealed and re-grouted the master bedroom large shower stall. He cleaned and replaced some grout on our tile floor in the kitchen and a hallway. About month later the grout on the kitchen floor started to crack. I called John and he came to look at it right a way. He informed me that our kitchen floor is settling and therefore the grout cracked. He suggested to use another grout used in mobile homes. In a week John came back and put in the new grout. John did not charge me additional cost for the trips back or the additional work he did with the new grout. I would recommend him to all my friends who need any kind of tile work done. I am planning to use John expertise again in my rental properties.

John did a great job. He showed up on time for both the estimate and to do the work. He was very cooperative and agreed to do some extra work we forgot to ask about. He worked quickly and professionally and did a great job. He gave us the Angie's List discount without having to ask about it. I mentioned using Angie's List when I first called.
