After reading the glowing reviews about Dan the Grout Doctor on Angie's List I had very high expectations. He was prompt for the quote appointment and subsequent appointment to do the work. Very personable guy and overall the work resulted in my shower looking better than before the work was done, but nothing extraordinary. However, during the course of his work and as he was nearing the end of the job I had to point out an area on the tile of the step leading into the shower that was completely missing a section of grout. After he left I went in to the bathroom to look it over again and discovered an area approximately 1.5" where the wall meets the floor that was completely missing grout! I immediately called Dan and he offered to come right back and he did. He caulked the area in a bright white which does not match the rest of the grout line along the floor. He did say he would tint it another color to match better when he comes back to do my kitchen backsplash next month. Unfortunately that won't be happening as I intend to cancel the appointment as I have now found another area along the wall / floor line that is also completely missing a section of grout. And I don't mean just chipped away. Completely gone! Clearly he did not get down and eyeball the grout line between where the wall tiles and the floor meet. For the cost of this service for approximately 2.25 hours of work I am pretty disappointed.
UPDATE: After speaking with Dan again after he left the second time he did offer to return again at some point to fix what he missed. He said that some things "...obviously got missed when I was cleaning up..." or something like that. I explained I wasn't willing to take more vacation time from work to be home for him to come back a second time. I again said I was pretty disappointed with this service and asked for a partial credit to what I paid as I now will have to hire a handyman to return to complete the missing grout and caulk work. He said he would be sending me a check refunding me for the entire service and although that was generous, it's not what I expected nor want. I do expect SOME credit/refund returned for the incomplete work however. Will wait and see if a check shows up in the mail and update this review.
