I did my dreaded search looking for a company that was trustworthy and had great reviews. I happened to come across The Grout Genie and scrolled through their reviews and saw so many great things customers were saying, so I gave them a call. OMG! All of the reviews are accurate. From the start, everyone I dealt with in the company was very responsive, professional, and on time. Brad did our work and he was freaking amazing! He did such a thorough job and made our showers that are from 1999 shine and look brand new again. I will be calling them when I'm ready to do other repair work in our bathroom. This is a great company! Thank you The Grout Genie!!

He's always on time, super courteous, and just really easy to work with. So far he's helped us with everything from installing plumbing fixtures and medicine cabinets to repairing drywall and even adding some landscaping elements. Every job was done quickly, cleanly, and with real skill. What we appreciate most (besides how nice the work looks) is that his rates are fair and consistent -- no surprises. It's such a relief to have someone you can trust to show up, do the job right, and treat your home with care. Steve's our go-to handyman now, hands down.

Although I am putting off the project I had in mind, he won't let me pay him for his time and effort looking for the spare parts that'll fit the cheap vinyl wood that the previous contractor that burned me installed since I didn't want to replace the whole flooring and only the problem areas. Im doing the next best thing since he won't accept compensation for his time and wanted to share with others my excellent experience with him. I'm so glad to have cross paths with Steve and will be solely using him for future projects.

I called ahead to make sure Ali would be in - and came in on a Saturday. Ali was very helpful. I showed him some pix of my kitchen on my iPad - and the kind of tile I was interested in. He got out some graph paper and sketched out a few things - design considerations and suggestions. We also looked at some of the tile offerings they have that were similar to what I am looking for. Ali is friendly, helpful, and has a great sense of humor! If you need tile for your bathroom or kitchen, you should check out Ideal Tile!

Unfortunately, after everything was selected I was informed the shower tile was no longer available. I set out to find a replacement for my very specific wood-look tile and immediately went to Ideal. They have a HUGE selection of tile - even very contemporary and modern looks. Rod was amazing. He checked on availability of several products for me and I never felt pressured to purchase anything. He even figured out that one of my choices was not suitable for my wall application. In the end, I was not able to find the taupey-cherry-blond tile I was looking for, but I will definitely consider Ideal first for my next project.

Amazing contractor!!!…read more Lawrence and his crew did a complete renovation of our basement to build an apartment for my parents. From the design through completion, it was a great experience. I found them here on Yelp and I obtained 3 quotes for the job. I had the quotes reviewed by an independent contractor who told me L&R's quote was what the job should reasonably cost. I called 4 references who all had a similar and very positive experience. Lawrence always communicated with me about schedule which had not been the case with other contractors. They were there working on my job every day, not showing up once or twice a week like some others. Any fluctuation to schedule or budget was discussed and agreed upon by both parties. We had a couple of unexpected plumbing delays but that was due to the original build not being up to the current code. I changed direction on a couple of design decisions and Lawrence was right there with me. The work was exceptional and the end product is amazing. I have had the nightmare contractor experience so was very cautious. This was exactly as the process should be and I plan to have them back in the fall to do more work. I give them my highest recommendation!

In what was otherwise a disastrous kitchen renovation project, my experience with Design Tile was…read moresuperb. I'm stingy in doling out 5 star reviews, but Design Tile earned mine every step of the way. I visited no fewer than EIGHT different tile shops in the DC area trying to find the "right" tile for my kitchen backsplash. The store is off the beaten path, and the showroom can feel a bit overwhelming...but that's actually a good thing because it means more options. Design Tile--and specifically Susan--did a few things that were great. First, they offered great advice with respect to my color palette and needs. Many tile shops used the hard sales approach and seemed intent on trying to sell me something, but Design Tile found me multiple options that really worked. Of my four tile finalists, three of them came from DT! Susan's trained eye clearly made the difference and meant that unlike other places, my time wasn't being wasted with bad options. Also, they were more than happy to let me take samples boards home. Some places are prickly about this, but DT wasn't. And after placing my order, they were responsive both via email and phone with both order status and advice. Susan even was helpful when I called her afterward for some advice on grout line sizing. There are a couple things to know so you aren't surprised by anything: * You'll pay a shipping fee, and since tile is heavy, that isn't cheap. You can save a little on this by a) offering to pick tile up at the store rather than having it shipped directly, and b) waiting (if you can) for them to bundle your order with another from the same manufacturer. * It's cash and check only. They have a system where you can do an electronic transfer from your savings or checking account too. Design Tile is a boutique tile shop, so if you're looking for super cheap stuff ASAP, it might not be the place for you. However, if you want a great experience and to end up with tile that you're love, make them your first stop.
