We had a great experience working with Luke and Jessica. They repaired our shower grout in the corners and floor from where the shower was done improperly originally and had started leaking. We felt really informed by them throughout the process and they completed the job fast and with a lot of care.

It was an absolute pleasure working with Luke and his team. I needed to have grout repair in my bathroom shower, and Luke really went the extra mile by ensuring everything was sealed properly. The price was very reasonable for the amount of work done. I will definitely be reaching out in the future.

I would highly recommend Luke and his team at Taste of the Northwest! We hired him for his professionalism in his tile trade to finish the tile we already had in our living room and dining room into our kitchen during our kitchen remodel. The job was a bit challenging as our previous tiler did not use spacers, and the grout lines and tile were not exactly even to just continue in spots for the tile to match up exactly into our kitchen. However, with Luke's talent and exceptional detail in his work, he was able to match it up without degrading any integrity in his work, and it looks absolutely wonderful!! Luke's demeanor is very friendly, and he works with you throughout the project. He is punctual in arrival, explains his process, and does what is needed to give you a pristine and perfect finish! If you are looking for an amazing tile job, look no further than the team at Taste of the Northwest!! Thanks Luke,..we couldn't be happier!!

Thank you so much for the wonderful review! We’re so glad we could help tie everything together with your remodel and that you’re happy with the results. We know how tricky it can be to match up work from a previous project, so hearing that the finish looks seamless and beautiful means a lot. Luke and our team take pride in clear communication, punctuality, and detail, and it’s rewarding to see that shine through in your experience. We truly appreciate your recommendation and your support of our small business, it makes all the difference!

I had my bathroom updated in 2021 by a different company who did not waterproof the new bathtub and shower properly. This resulted in water leakage into my basement. After a few attempts to have the work repaired, I contacted a Taste of the Northwest. Luke repaired and replaced all of the water damaged surrounding wall and floor. This included a couple of rows of tile in the shower and the backerboard. Wish I had contacted him in the first place!

Thank you so much for sharing your experience. We know how stressful the damage from the first install must have been, and we’re glad Luke could repair everything the right way this time. As a small family business, your trust and kind words mean the world to us we’re so happy you love the results! Thanks, Luke and Jess
