Tony did excellent work sealing the floor grout and caulking the tub and shower in my 2 bathrooms. He went above and beyond to make everything perfect! It looks brand new!

We had a great experience with The Grout Medic. Jorge was professional, kind, clean, and did a wonderful job regrouting our two bathroom floors, shower, and tub. He also sealed our stone and caulked. I highly recommend using this company and will continue to do so in the future!
