"Very professional and on time reasonable price. I am concerned as I am not the professional. The work was completed when I went to look it over the spots that were cracked and the reason I called this person to assist me with were still showing some cracks and missing grout spots. He was kind enough to go over the 5 spots I pointed out and the 2 areas were cracked but this is where my concern starts. When I am told the work is done and I look it over and see that it is not done completely, I worry about what I am missing as this should have been seen from the beginning. Maybe I am worrying to much but that gives me a very uneasy feeling. Once time passes and I use the shower a few times with no issue I will update my rating but as of now only time will tell. Nice people just left me wondering if it was all done correctly and to last."

"The tile floor in our master shower was literally falling apart. It was past time for us to act, so we scheduled one of those popular TV commercial companies to come out and take a look. The lady that visited was nice but the estimated she offered was not. All that money to replace just the small shower area with some ultra-thin plastic paneling glued to the wall? It was outrageous. There had to be a better option. So my wife and I looked on Angi for a local business and found Patriot Flooring. We received a call almost immediately after submitting our request. James and Tammy came out in almost no time. Right away we could tell these were not flashy commissioned based Salespeople but rather seasoned professionals with decades of experience and a Class A contractor license. James quickly provided all the information on how we could get our problem fixed. Not only would he remove the old tile from the shower area but also the bath and replace both with tile our choice. All this at a fraction of the cost we were quoted by the big-name brand company. In a couple of weeks, James and Vance were onsite to begin. Both are very courteous and respectful. The removal of the old tile was completed in about a day. James let us know some of the incorrect practices he was seeing done by the original installer like having no moisture barrier on the walls, putting nails through what is supposed to be the waterproof membrane around the bottom of the shower and so much more. We also had a horrible build-up in our shower drain due to debris from the original material. James was able to replace the blocked-up portion of the drain included as part of the project. Every evening my wife and I would look at the progress. It seemed a little slow at first but doing things right can take time. James was upfront before the work began about the timetable, so this was expected. Each step from putting in the pre-float, assembling the new membrane, overnight water testing to check for leaks, pouring the cement base of the new shower pan, applying the Red Gard, setting all the new tile, grouting, and reinstalling the fixtures (probably missing some steps), is not something you should expect to all be completed overnight. Day by day our new shower and bath took shape. Every day James would give us an update and answer any questions. Soon enough we had our new beautiful, tiled shower and bath. There was no question during this project that we had selected the right company for the job. James and his team take pride in the work they do, and it was apparent every step of the way. My wife and I couldn’t be happier. If you’re looking for quality work at a reasonable price, look no further. You can believe all the 5-star reviews and ours as well."

"I needed the Berber carpeting in my living room deep cleaned for move out, as part of the terms of my pet clause in my lease agreement. S & S did a fantastic job for me, showed up promptly as promised and went straight to work on the carpet. Services included a deep steam cleaning, deoderizing treatment, and stain removal for a couple of small spots from spilled drinks. Overall the work took about 45 minutes and they were very careful about making sure they protected the hardwood floors when they brought in the steam and vacuum hoses. A variety of options were offered for paying, including CASH app which I chose to use. Overall quick and easy; I was quite happy with their work and would definitely use them again."

You should regrout tile every 10 to 15 years, provided it is well-maintained with regular cleaning and sealing. Over time, grout can deteriorate due to exposure to moisture, foot traffic, and the use of cleaning agents. If you start to see cracks, discoloration, crumbling grout, or loose tiles, it’s a sign that regrouting is needed sooner.
The most effective way to clean grout involves a combination of powerful cleaning agents and the right tools. Using a dedicated grout brush intensifies the cleaning process, ensuring a deep clean. Create a powerful homemade solution by mixing baking soda, hydrogen peroxide, and dish soap to break down deeply embedded dirt. After cleaning, reseal the grout to lock in protection and maintain its appearance.
You can't regrout tile without removing the existing grout and expect good, long-lasting results. You must replace the old grout when it begins to crumble and fail. New grout cannot properly adhere to existing grout, meaning moisture will still reach the damaged layer and cause additional water damage, which will be more costly to deal with in the long run.
Visible indicators, such as cracks, stains, chipping, and mold growth, signal that your grout is compromised and no longer maintains its bonding strength. If you notice these issues, cleaning alone won't restore the grout's integrity. In such cases, consider complete or partial regrouting to preserve your surfaces and prevent further damage.
