From the job site

What we’ve learned doing this since 1997

Things worth knowing before you hire anyone for tile and grout, us included.

How to tell if your grout is actually sealed

Splash a little water on your grout and watch what happens. If it turns dark, it isn't sealed. That's the whole test, and it takes five seconds.

Sealed grout doesn't change color when it gets wet, because the water can't get into it. Unsealed grout is porous, so it drinks the water and darkens on contact.

We run this on almost every estimate. A homeowner tells us their grout was sealed two years ago, we put water on it, and it goes dark immediately. They paid for something they never got, and had no way of knowing.

Try it on your own floor before you call anybody, us included. If the color doesn't change, your grout is sealed and you don't need us for that.

Why a $75 sealing job isn't real

A bottle of quality sealer costs us about $50, and a typical house takes two or three bottles.

So when someone quotes $75 to seal an entire floor, do the arithmetic. There is no version of that price where the material got paid for, let alone the labor.

The tell shows up months later. The grout starts staining again, the color goes uneven, and you conclude that sealing just doesn't work. Sealing works. That job wasn't sealing.

Cheap sealing isn't a discount. It's a cleaning you paid extra for, plus the cost of doing it properly later.

The arithmetic, on a job site: one bottle costs about $50.

What happens when sealer is left on the tile

Sealer has to sit on the grout for three to five minutes so it can absorb into the pores. That dwell time isn't optional; it's the difference between sealer that soaks in and sealer that skins over the top.

But while it's soaking into the grout, it's also sitting on your tile. Leave it there to dry and you get a shiny haze that does not come off.

On a matte or flat tile you will see it, guaranteed. On a glazed or glossy tile you won't notice at all, which is exactly how careless work survives on some floors and ruins others.

So we come back with a microfiber pad and take every bit of it off the tile before it sets. It's water based, so we rinse the pad between passes instead of pushing the same residue around. The sealer that does soak into the tile dries perfectly clear and protects the tile too. It just has to be wiped, not puddled.

Your grout color is a choice

Most people think dingy grout is permanent, or that fixing it means tearing out the tile. Neither is true.

Color sealing recolors and seals the grout in one pass. Every line comes out the same color, and that color is one you pick.

Twenty years of uneven staining, the dark traffic path worn through the middle of the room, the patch that never came clean: all of it goes to one uniform tone.

We lay a demo strip on your actual floor, in your actual lighting, before you commit to anything. Bright white grout looks incredible for about a week and then shows every footprint, so most people land somewhere softer.
