"Please find a different contractor! We hired Brett’s company to replace flooring in our basement that was water damaged. The original quote included installing flooring and drywall repair. We had to stop the install and start over two times due to issues. The first issue was the way the flooring was being laid. Standard wood/laminate flooring should be laid out in a scattered/various pattern using planks cut in multiple lengths, however the install guy was cutting the wood in only 2 sizes and laying it down in a repetitive pattern. It looked horrible. We asked Brett to come out to the job and see for himself because we were concerned with the quality of the work, but he never came out. When the install guy started over, we realized he had not put down underlayment which was clearly included in the contract. They were placing luxury vinyl plank directly on the concrete slab with only a moisture barrier. Again, we had to have them stop the job and start over to do it properly. Brett still did not come out to the job site. We did not end up getting the drywall repair completed and asked him to remove that cost from our invoice, but he said we would still need to pay the full price because if he reworked the contract it would go up to account for starting the job over. Even though both times the job had to start over were as a result of his guys negligence. I’ve attached a picture that shows the first problem with the install. We’ve had flooring replaced and installed several times in previous homes and have never experienced someone attempting to install it in the way his guy was. There was no quality control on Bretts part. The install was done incorrectly multiple times and it could have been avoided if Brett had taken the time to make sure the job was being done properly. To make matters worse, we were penalized for his crews mistake and it left us feeling stressed out and ripped off. Please save yourselves the stress and find someone else to do your floors."

"Ronal works with his little brother, wife, and another bud. All are very nice and respectful of your home. We had a custom shower install 10 yrs ago, but after excessive use by the whole family (4 of us every day...) and a still-settling house, it developed a leak in the lower shower corner. We only needed the lower 18" of tile wall to be replaced (it's still available), a new shower pan and floor, structure inspected and repaired if needed, and we added a new bathroom floor and toilet to the job. No plumbing, electrical, or cabinetry were needed as it was all still kinda fancy and in great shape. Ronal was the only response out of about 10 from Angi's list that would agree to do this partial bathroom repair/remodel. ALL THE OTHERS offering estimates demanded to do a full gut and replacement. His attention to detail is excellent, and the grout colors and gaps match perfectly. We are having him back for our downstairs bathroom and are recommending him to any others needed tile-based home improvement. 10 out of 5 stars!"

Sealing grout delivers excellent value by creating a moisture barrier that prevents water penetration, staining, and deterioration. Unsealed grout becomes a magnet for dirt and moisture, which can lead to discoloration, mold growth, and eventual breakdown of the grout structure. Regular sealing maintenance creates a protective barrier that not only preserves your tile's appearance but also simplifies routine cleaning and extends the overall lifespan of your installation.
When combining professional grout cleaning with sealing services, expect to pay between $3 and $4 per square foot for challenging surfaces like natural stone or heavily soiled areas. This comprehensive approach ensures your grout is thoroughly cleaned before sealer application, maximizing the effectiveness and longevity of the treatment. The cleaning process removes embedded dirt and contaminants that might otherwise become sealed into the grout, providing superior long-term results.
Certain grout formulations, particularly epoxy-based products, come with built-in moisture resistance that eliminates the need for additional sealing. These specialized grouts naturally repel water and resist staining without supplemental treatment.
Additionally, if your existing grout still demonstrates good water-beading properties from previous sealing, immediate reapplication may be unnecessary. Professional contractors evaluate your specific grout type, condition, and location before making recommendations about sealing requirements.
An average DIY grout sealing project for a 160-square-foot area requires about three hours, though this timeline can extend significantly for first-time applicators or challenging spaces. Professional contractors can complete the same area in two to five hours, depending on project complexity and required preparation. The experience gap often shows in application consistency and efficiency, with professionals delivering more uniform coverage in less time than most homeowners can achieve, especially on initial attempts.
