I originally called Grout Experts to retile our bathroom after reading the amazing reviews. Michael came out to give us an estimate, and he was very nice and got us on the schedule quickly.
On the appointed day, Carlos and Daniel came out to do the work, however, Carlos left and only Daniel remained to do the work. Everything started out fine, and then Daniel told me that I need to go and pick up grout to do the job, I asked what kind, and tried to show him the pictures on the Home Depot website, but he just told me he was pretty sure I needed sanded grout and he couldn't tell me anything else about it. Fine. I went to Home Depot, purchaser the grout and brought it back for him to use.
As he was close to finishing, he asked me if I had any extra tiles for the bath, as he had broken one off two day prior during demo. We did not, so he place and ill-fitting tile in place of it, and grouted it with gray grout, so it looks terrible. He also then proceeded to also tell me that my tile was thin and cheap, and it might crack. I then asked him why he didn't tell me this prior to installing it. (I also asked Carlos this question when he returned later that day) and both of them told me it wasn't their problem or their place to tell me, they were just there to do the job.
After they finished the job and left, I opened the door and found the mess they left behind. The porcelain in my sink and tile in my shower were stained black, there was dirt coating the walls, exhaust fan and in the cabinets, and the inside of my toilet was coated black. I spent a total of 4 hours cleaning a 60 foot bathroom space, and the walls are so dirty we have no choice but to paint them.
I let the tile and grout sit to dry for 48 hours, and then steam-washed it with my steam mop, which is when I noticed that the grout was flaking out. I immediately called Michael, who assured me someone would come to fix it immediately. I also noted with Kim, the scheduler, when I called, that I did not want Daniel back in my house.
Michael and Carlos showed up Wednesday morning to look at the issue, and both decided that the grout used was most likely expired, and said they would buy more grout and get it fixed, and Carlos said his 'guy' was at Home Depot right then buying grout, and, although Carlos couldn't stay, his guy would fix it.
Imagine my surprise when I came home, and Daniel was, again, in my bathroom. I immediately contacted Michael to voice my displeasure, and was assured that he was confident Daniel would do a good job and remedy the situation. I immediately called Kevin to voice my displeasure, but was unable to speak with him until after Daniel had left.
Upon Daniel leaving, I went into my bathroom to once again see that my sink had mysteriously turned black again, and there was a whole bag of grout stuffed under the cabinet. I grabbed the bag to move it, not realizing it was stuffed in there with a hole in both the grout bag and the plastic bag it was in, which caused a mess on my floor, both of which I had to clean up.
When my husband returned, we looked at the floor by the door, and saw that the grout, which had supposedly been fixed, was flaking again. I sent a message to both Kevin and Michael, but we are currently right back to where we started, just a week later in the process, and still do not have a resolution.
We were planning on listing our house next week, but now I'm not sure where we stand, or how we can move forward in getting this situation remedied. I'm upset, frustrated, and will have to pay for a project that was not done up to anyone's standards.
