Adrian and his team were great! Very professional, thorough, efficient, well priced. My bathroom/kitchen had a whole new look. Would highly highly recommend to anyone who's considering tile work. He'll walk you through the entire process. He's approachable and his team worked really efficiently. I noticed a previous review that had 2 stars but it sounds like she was impatiently not willing to wait for him to fix whatever "issue" it may have been. For me, when I noticed a small area of tile was missing grout, he came within a few days to fill the grout. I feel like most services take forever to come back but I was able to text him and he came as soon as he could. Thank you Adrian! You gave our house some new life! read more

I highly recommend this company. We needed our shower pan re-grouted and received a prompt estimate based on photos. The work was completed on the scheduled date as promised. Justin and Bradley arrived on time, were kind and professional, and delivered excellent results--the shower looks brand new. They were also a pleasure to work with and left the area clean and tidy. read more

Hired this company to clean, patch and seal grout in my master bathroom. Communication was not good from the start--owner flaked on the first scheduled appointment. Was not impressed with the quality of work when it was done, as there were areas that still looked dirty and crumbling. When I raised this, he was dismissive but patched a couple of other spots. A week later, the grout started melting/disintegrating in areas where it had been patched. I spent two weeks trying to get it repaired because the work is supposedly guarantees, and the communication has not been good. I had to follow up multiple times before getting the repair scheduled, and was asked to send a reminder text to him day of the repair. I rearranged work and sent a reminder text. No response and he flaked on that as well, and still no firm date on when he will make time for the repair. After two weeks, one of the tiles came out because the grout around it basically melted, so I can't wait any longer and keep following up. I'm giving 2 stars because the work on the bathroom floor was fine. Photos are from a few days after and then 2 weeks after the work was done. read more

I can't say enough good things about how great Adrian and his team were. They were on time, professional, and really knew what they were doing. Their work was beautiful, and the bathroom looks like new. I only regret that I don't have more work for them, but when I do, they will be the only company I call and will recommend them to all my friends. Thanks again. Dale read more

We had a complicated tile to install for our shower and these guys finished in two days. Amazing work!

There's nothing better than a perfectionist when you're looking to restore a 39-year-old tiled bathroom. That would be Adrian Leahu, the owner of First Choice Tile and Grout. He approaches jobs with the care and pride of an artist, who cares about the details. This is the third time he has come to our house. This time he fully restored the family bathroom tile, including the glass doors in the shower. Plus, he freshened the decades old tile in the master bath, taking care to match exactly the aged color of the grout. All done at a reasonable price. And he arrived promptly, exactly at the agreed time, which we appreciate. read more

First Choice did an excellent job with large shower stall re-grout and color matched new grout to the tile. Very neatly done and the new grout blends seamlessly with the tile. Also offered a cleaning and re-seal of floor tiles that made the space look very refreshed. Great value , high quality work and seamless communication regarding dates and times. Highly recommend Adrian and his team read more

I'm very impressed with First choice grout and tile! A few notes: 1) Great communication- the owner was responsive and scheduled me in ASAP for a shower, kitchen sink, bathroom sink, and door re-caulking/re-grouting/sealing. 2) They arrived on time and worked hard. 3) Pricing was competitive (I got a few quotes and theirs was the most reasonable). Owner even went out of his way to work a few items in there for free! 4) End result looks better than brand new and they used different assorted epoxy, grout colors, caulking etc. 5) In addition to quality work, as if that wasn't enough, both gentlemen were trustworthy, morally commendable, respectful, and frankly just kind. I would definitely recommend this business to acquaintances, friends and family. Thank you so much for renewing my home! read more

Adrian and his team did a fabulous job restoring the floor tile in our shower.

Overall, very friendly and high quality work. They made sure that things were covered and cleaned up. Showed what they plan to do, had me review halfway thru the work to make sure I was good with it, and then final review when they were done. They used epoxy grout so they weren't cutting corners on the material. Would highly recommend them. read more

Adrian was very responsive and able to come see our job and provided a quote the same day. Our project was two outdoor decks with tile and cement material grout. Then 2 bathrooms including tile floors and shower decks and walls. Adrian's bid was competitive and when we met I was impressed with his knowledge of materials and product applications. He had valuable suggestions, scheduled our work quickly, communicated efficiently and the quality of the work was top notch. He and his team completed our project in one day. It was at budget and on time. If needing any of this type work, I would give Adrian a call again first. read more

We've used Adrian at First Choice Grout and Tile a number of times over the past 10 years (at 3 different properties), and each time we've been impressed with him and his team. Rates are very reasonable, and the work has always been top-notch - and it holds up well over the years. We appreciate how his crew cleans up afterwards - it's always spotless when they leave! We will continue to rely on Adrian and his team for future tile projects. Highly recommended! read more

Adrian and his team did an amazing job with our bathroom. We had a pipe burst and this was a big project to install insulation, repair studs, new vanity, new tub, tile flooring, shower tiling, and wall paint! Adrian was very communicative about the timelines which ended up being quick and accurate. What more could you ask for? And the finished result was amazing! read more

Short story? First Choice Grout and Tile exceeded all of our expectations in repairing a mosaic tile shower pan in our guest bathroom. Responsive, great expertise, honest and straight-forward, and they met every promise. Adrian carefully demo'd the problem area, ground out the old Quickset to perfectly flat, then re-tiled the area with some spare material we had. He custom-mixed an epoxy grout color to match our existing tile work, and he was able to complete the repair well within his estimate and discounted the difference! We included tile and slate stone cleaning and re-sealing in our master shower which resolved grout build-up and bolstered the water proofing. Well worth it if he's coming to help you on something else. He takes a very high integrity approach to running his business and I'd gladly have them back for additional projects, be they cosmetic or breakage / leaking in nature (as this one was). read more

Updated May 2020 to address new issues that have arisen since install. First Choice recently helped us out with two bathroom projects. The first was a demo and replacement of an existing bathroom floor. The second was a deep clean of a shower stall. Pros: - Super responsive to request for quote - Quick to schedule the job - Fast to get the job done - Communicative throughout the process - Patient despite a delay on materials - Friendly and direct - Cheap v other quotes we got for the jobs - New floor looks great from far away (certainly better than what was there before) Cons: -Quite a bit of unevenness in new tile floor - there are tiles sticking out / pushed in further than those surrounding them, some up to 1/8". This makes cleaning the floor pretty difficult, and it's also unattractive to look at and uncomfortable to walk on. The First Choice team tried to fix the issues with additional grout but it didn't resolve anything so we were offered a discount on the job. A full demo would be needed to actually fix the issue. New issue after a few months.... some of the grout (around tub and in doorway) has cracked and fallen out since install. It looks *bad*. It's not an issue of the house moving - the grout that had been in the bathroom the 50 years prior never cracked. read more

Highly recommend First Choice Grout & Tile! Why? 1. Super-knowledgeable about the work to be done. Adrian actually recommended against one of the repairs I wanted so it wouldn't risk damage to the floor heating elements under the tile. 2. The work was meticulous. My marble tile hallway grout and bathroom floors look as good as new. 3. The bathtub and shower caulking was perfect. 4. He was even able to get years of calcium buildup off the shower drain. 5. He's got a wonderful, happy, helpful attitude and a focus on job excellence. 6. He was a huge help and squeezed me in on super short notice when my previously scheduled service canceled at the last minute. I'm on a tight timeframe due to the house going on the market and he made it happen! You have lots of choices in this market. Go with First Choice and you will be glad you did! read more

The owner of this company and his team are exceptional. From start to finish the owner, Adrian was very communicative, professional, and knowledgeable. I appreciated the time he took to explain to me exactly what he was going to do to fix our bathroom shower and tub. We had severe issues with the grout and he was able to make it look brand new! It was also apparent that he was a person with integrity and great business ethics. Explain to him what you want, and he will make it happen better than you had hoped read more

They showed up on time, and did an amazing job regrouting our custom tile shower. They removed all the old grout from the floor and walls, and grouted them again within one day! My wife is no longer wanting to burn the house down just because of the shower. It We initially were worried that we had ruined the floors tile with excessive scrubbing that we did while trying to get rid of some buildup it just turned out to be discoloration caused by something...and were still not sure what it was. We even had a professional steam clean done right before and it didn't get the stains out. If we ever need to do tile again we'll definitely be calling to have them do it. read more

First Choice cleaned and regrouted our bathrooms (one shower, one bath). The pricing was competitive and, more importantly, the work was done very efficiently and with great results! Would not hesitate to recommend. read more

We are really pleased with the kitchen tile work completed for us today. I reached out to First Choice for a small project. I needed work done--but first, I needed advice about what direction to go. Adrian gave direct and honest assessment of the situation. After easy communication and timely scheduling here we are all finished up and happy. The tile and grout looks great. We'll use First Choice again and will recommend. read more

Adrian and team were phenomenal. Their care and attention to detail is a step above the norm. They made our bathrooms and kitchen look like new again, removing grout in the shower pan that had mold stain, sealing all tiles and counters, redoing sealant between sinks and counters and more. they are straight forward and honest. Explained what they were going to do and provided multiple walkthroughs to make sure everything was done as agreed. I wouldn't hesitate to recommend them. read more

We had a few vanities, bathroom floors, showers, and kitchen backsplash that needed cleaning, sealing, and recalking. We also had our master bathroom shower pan to be cleaned and applied epoxy grout. Adrian was very responsive. His crew came on time and finished work on time with high-quality work. His crews were very professional and friendly. Many areas of tile grout that were discolored are now gone and they all look brand new and clean. They went above and beyond which we really appreciated. Their price is also reasonable. Highly recommend!! read more

The First Choice Lads were able to squeeze in my leaking walk-in shower project the very next day after my initial phone call, and not only quickly fixed the problem with a re-grout and seal, they also redid all the grout in my 2nd bathroom for a very reasonable charge! Both showers now look and function as new. True professionals. read more

Good and bad: The actual work itself was very good. They were prompt and reasonably priced. What more could you ask for? The bad? I found them sitting in MY CHAIR in my bedroom....boundaries guys. They blasted their music while we were home....not very professional. Left our garbage cans full of tape and RAZOR BLADES and pissed all over the toilet like little boys. Again, the work was top quality. The rest....not so much. read more

Adrian did a great job re-grouting our shower tile. He was on time, protected the carpet, explained how he was going to do the work and how much it would cost.

I recently hired First Choice Grout and Tile to tile my shower. The job entailed using two different kinds of tile and installing a shower niche. Adrian and his crew were polite, professional, on time, and truly cared about getting the details right, even when the job took slightly longer than expected and when they ran into the inevitable small technical challenges like the tub not being perfectly level. I would gladly hire them again. read more

Extremely responsive and professional throughout the entire process. Adrian was quick to help provide an estimate, and schedule service for tile cleaning and grout repair. He even gave us a courtesy call the day before the job. Would highly recommend. read more

What originally started out as a re-grout turned into a full shower renovation, and Adrian worked to fit us into his schedule. Our new shower looks good and Adrian also recommended a glass guy and the new shower door was very nicely done. There were a few bumps along the way. Some drywall was damaged (https://www.dropbox.com/sh/67tz8s69xbwf50i/AABB8GLyiyblX9rbtge8JJxVa?dl=0) by his demolition guy and Adrian repaired it, however, we had to do some additional spackling and all the repainting ourselves. One of our floor trim tiles popped off during demo which Adrian repaired but the grout was not matched well. We've requested he come back to repair that. An interior bathroom window was not masked off so we ended up with lots of dust in the bedroom. Some old shower door frame pieces were left on the side of the house. Although I'm taking a star off for these items, the quality of the tile work was pretty good. If you choose First Choice yourselves, make sure you are on their schedule and that everything is taken care of before the job is settled. read more

Our bathroom remodel found a large hole in the floor. Adrian & Chris solved the problem and did a great tile job. Thank you.

I had gotten in touch with Adrian after our original general contractor had brought in a tiler that was definitely inexperienced and not qualified to do restroom tiling. Impressed by the reviews on Yelp! I had sent over some photos of our space, as well as the original tiler's work and stated my concerns. Adrian was quick to respond via email, then scheduled a call within 24 hours and we had an appointment for him to do an in home evaluation of the restroom requiring work. He said that he would have a bid out to me by the end of the day and this is exactly what he did. It is important to have reliable professionals that follow up and also send estimates out when they've promised especially when you are doing a remodeling project and Adrian exceeded my expectations in this aspect as well as in overall communication. We kept in contact via text to discuss his schedule and plans to come in on specific days to work on the project. The following Monday Adrian had came with his crew and they had prepped the restroom for set up. They set up the walls to ensure that it was waterproofed and also hardiebackererd the floors to prepare it for the tiling work. After that day, Adrian came back numerous times to work on the tiling. It's a high ceiling restroom and I wanted the tiles to go all the way up. This took a lot of patience and time on his end that required him to come back on different days to allow the tiles to set appropriately prior to continuing on and stacking the large tiles. I would occasionally peak into the restroom to see the progress and work that was put into creating the beautiful finishing. Tiling is truly a craft that requires an experienced professional that is also detail oriented. Adrian took the time to cut tiles that were as thin as 1/4 inch just to make sure it fit in a small area of the walls. Other people would have just grouted it in it's entirety and called it a day. At one point, when he was installing the metal siding for the shower, he noticed that they were slightly different tones (despite it being the same exact SKU#) and he asked me first if it was okay to use. I gave him the thumbs up, but definitely appreciated him running this very small difference by me and double checking. One of my biggest concerns and issues with the previous tiler we had was that there was a lot of lippage on our tiles and grout lines were not clean and spacing was not even. When Adrian had done my tiles, the spacing is on point. In addition, Adrian was careful with the tiles and had clean cuts. The previous tiler we had chipped a lot of our very tiles! Lastly, Adrian and his crew was respectful of my home and courteous to ensure that they were not in the way of what we were doing. They were also friendly, witty, and always a pleasure to interact with. I've contracted them for two other restrooms that we are having redone and am excited to see the results and outcome of the work. I have nothing but praise for his quality of work. Will be posting photos as work gets completed and the entire restroom finishes are in place! read more
