Below is the text I received from the owner after calling and asking someone to come look at an issue we have after we hired them to clean and reseal our marble shower floor. Our issue has nothing to do with the cleaning of the marble or the color of the marble. We now have approximately a 20 inch area with bumps or dots, like the sealant wasn't rubbed in or something like that. He would understand it is way more than "6 dots" if he had taken the time to come take a look and understand the issue. When I spoke to him on the phone he was so rude, defensive and unprofessional, I hung up. The second picture is after I hung up and he texted me. I wish the area was only 1 square inch! Know who you do business with! I will say Nazareth, the technician, who came to our house was very nice. Just think it was an oversight that could have easily been addressed if he had taken the time to understand and cared about customer satisfaction in our case.

Cracking

An expensive, temporary solution. The master shower had mold along the floor edges. They steamed the mold and re caulked and assured me that this was a solution to my mold problem. Within a couple of months the mold returned. Despite cleaning with a variety of products, I couldn't keep the mold from growing. I asked The Grout Medic for recommendations for cleaning products and they do not recommend a product. I've tried more natural products and more harsh products, too no avail. Plus, there was an area between the shower and the tub that they damaged the caulking They came back out and caulked again, and repaired the area that was damaged (which they're saying they did for "free" but they wouldn't have had to do if they hadn't knicked it during their service the first time)..The mold returned, they came out again and replaced caulking. This is a process by the way. You can't use your shower for a couple of days so when they have to be there 3 times within the year, it's not convenient. The mold still returns, and the warranty is only for a year. I would've never paid hundreds of dollars for a temporary solution. So disappointing. I'm no better than where I started, except I'm out $648. They also claim the caulking only cost $165.75, but their quote to replace the caulking again is $450. After a year had gone by, I kept calling trying to get ahold of Bruce for a month to discuss how the service was not effective against the mold and that the caulking was peeling up and cracking. Since I wasn't getting anywhere with my calls, I wrote a review. He saw the review and called me very irritated. His response to my review was that "we cannot control how well your shower is cleaned." He said that me writing a review, (after no response for a month but a quote for $450 to call again) was like him writing in Facebook that I'll a terrible person. Mind you I had a very calm tone, I stuck to the facts, yet he was upset with me and in a backhanded way was likening me to a terrible person. I will also say, that I suspect the employee that came out and did the work was not well trained. I can't say for sure what training he had, but he was not very good at caulking. He was very polite though. This was not a solution to my mold problem, and unfortunately it was at my expense. After the way that the owner Bruce spoke to me on the phone, I feel it's important to know that his customer service skills are lacking as well. Read the other one star reviews on other sites. You'll see a pattern.

Had $2300 worth of work done on a 12 year old shower. New pan, mud bed, and tile. 72 hours after work was completed, water pools around drain for up to 24 hours. The finish work looked great and we were excited about getting our shower back. Scheduled via a call and e-mail for warranty fix. Work was scheduled for 3 weeks, I scheduled the day off to be there and with 2 phones, voicemail and e-mail never did they contact me, but they cancelled. Only way I found out was a courtesy call from me to confirm the day before. Nope. They state they left VM but smart phones log every call and VM...nothing. Maybe they can get to this work 3 weeks from now, maybe? The issue is with customer service and committing to a work date. It goes both ways. Essentially they are saying my time isn't important. Be aware and ensure not to assume everything is good to go. So we are forced to put a towel down after showers and mold has already started growing because of the sitting water. Update: got back inside of 1week fixed in one day. Satisfied. Interesting Grout Medic hasn't even called to find out if the shower is still holding water. I will bump 1 star, but be cautious when communicating with them.

I have contacted this company twice for quotes and information and have never received a response. Not customer centered.

Bruce came to provide the quote and was very informative and professional. Today Cris Wells caulked my shower and did an excellent job.

I contacted Greg to remodel 2 bathrooms in my 1950's house. The challenge with my remodel were the…read morefact that the floors and walls were not perpendicular nor flat. Bathroom 1: Hall shower where the shower floor did not drain, leaving 2 gallons of water on the shower floor. The in-wall valve (rough in valve) made noise when the shower was in use. 36" x 36" corner shower. Greg tore out the old showers and started working on the plumbing. He added additional framing to accomodate the new tile, replaced the rough-in valve and some of the existing PEX piping to accomodate the new shower system. He framed out a new shower floor and reworked the floor to allow for great drainage. He water-proofed the backing and floor with the appropriate membranes and started laying the tile to ensure the look was even and straight... a real challenge in any 80 old home! Bathroom 2: Master tub / shower combo which had a recirculation system built into the tub. The mold coming out of the recirculation system was constant and no one wants to take a bath in algee / moldy water, despite numerous cleanings. Greg replaced the tub, old tile and installed a new rough-in valve for the shower. The old floors posed a challenge, but Greg made it work so that the tub was stationary, and installed correctly. The subway tile was installed on 3 walls of the tub, and new plumbing was installed using PEX / Sharkbite compression fittings. I wanted to work on painting the walls, as I am a lot of experience with drywall, flattening and correcting wall blemishes and paint. Overall, Greg to a great job. He overcame the challenges of the non-flat, non-perpendicular walls to ensure the tile lines were consistent across the walls. We worked through the project challenges and he even added a bathroom vent in to the Master bath for appropriate humid air venting. Even after months of use, I see that Greg cares how the tile looks and performs. Greg also installed 2 bathroom vanities (the sink / cabinet) and the associated faucets in both bathrooms. I am now enjoying the new showers, and am seeing the results of the showers actually being quiet! No more loud noises as people shower! The shower actually drains great, without any squeeging of the floor! Plus , they look absolutely fantistic. The vanities work and look great!

I hired Greg to renovate a half bath that had a toilet that leaked, damaging the sub floor and…read morehardwoods in the hall. The first red flag was Greg's cartoonish quote for work. Greg is a smooth talker and made it seem like it would all be good. He said payment would be due upon completion although there was no mention of this in the "contract." Turns out "Remove vanity and install custom vanity" means ripping out the large existing vanity, sink, and huge mirror and then popping down the pedestal sink THAT I BOUGHT. Period. Red flag #2: When I asked Greg about the massive drywall damage, he said "Is it in the contract?" The agreement does say he does not cover drywall repair, but this was literally left in a demo state. On Day 2, while the entire floor was ripped up with the crawlspace exposed, Greg asked me for a check. I said I planned to pay him with a credit card and it would take me a few days to move money around to give him the equivalent of cash. Day 3 he walked off the job claiming non-payment. After I calmly explained that I could not be in non-payment because no payment was due, Greg came back the next day like nothing happened... All of the insulations under the half bath was wet so it had to go. Greg did not want anything to do with replacing it. I went out and bought insulation and installed it myself. Either Greg or his plumber, Drew, cracked the first sink basin during install. Luckily Home Depot replaced it with no questions and Drew came back and installed the new one. Drew was actually great. I did all of the leg work for the return, so don't expect Greg to actually stand by his work or take responsibility for mistakes. Greg made it clear he does not do hardwood floor repair and I was fine with that. Turns out, my hardwood flooring guy discovered that there was a strange strip of plywood sub floor installed to fill a gap that was not actually supported. We found out why when he pulled it up. See photos. Don't expect structural repairs to actually connect to other structural members. Don't expect your tile OR subfloor to be level or flat. Don't expect a professional job.
