Sir Grout is a hard-surface restoration franchise focused on tile and grout cleaning, ColorSeal recoloring, complete shower restoration, and natural-stone care (honing, polishing, sealing). The Sir Grout franchise runs as a mobile, van-based service with a compact crew and proprietary products, allowing owners to start without a fixed retail build-out and scale by adding territories, technicians, and vans.
What is the Sir Grout franchise
The Sir Grout franchise consolidates multiple in-demand services—tile & grout cleaning, grout recoloring/sealing, stone restoration, caulking and slip-resistant coatings—into a single home-services brand. Jobs are scheduled in neighborhoods and commercial sites; technicians arrive in branded vans equipped with restoration tools, surface-safe chemicals, and ColorSeal systems. The model emphasizes professional results without demolition, making it a cost-effective alternative to replacement projects for homeowners, property managers, and light-commercial clients.
