How Can You Change and Correct a Wrong Grout Color-Lakewood NJ

We often get calls from homeowners, contractors, builders and tile installers that there was a problem with the grout in the tile installation. One of the most common issues is that the grout color is too light and was supposed to be  a darker color like gray or brown not white.  There are a number of reasons why this can occur. 1. The wrong color was chosen or the wrong grout was installed. Many times grout sample charts appear darker than the actual grout color. Keep this in mind when choosing grout colors. 2. Due to construction dust from sheetrock and other materials very often all that dust settles on the tile floor and can bleed into the grout color especially when the grout is wet. Very often its impossible to restore the grout color just by cleaning alone. 3. If darker grouts are not mixed well or are sponged with too much water this can create an inconsistent color since there are varying  concentrations of dye in the grout as a result. 4. If the thinset is a much lighter color sometimes is can show through the grout and make it appear lighter if there is not sufficient grout on top. At Grout Works we have a cutting edge solution that can change the grout color to the exact color you want. Rather than regrouting which entails removing the existing grout and putting in new grout we can change the color of the existing grout. We only resort to removing grout and regrouting when the condition and integrity of the grout seems compromised, otherwise we risk chipping the edges of...

Colts Neck NJ Professional Tile & Grout Cleaning & Sealing

Check out this picture of a job we just completed in Colts Neck NJ. This beautiful home had the rustic looking  brick lay tile with wide grout lines typical of the nicer homes that were built in the 1990’s. However wide grout lines can be a real challenge to clean and keep clean. We deep cleaned the kitchen floor and sealed the grout to make it easier to maintain clean grout.  The job took 2 days but the kitchen was completely usable most of the duration of time we were there.   Check out some more before and after pictures at https://groutworksnj.com/gallery Many times grout is cleaned with harsh chemicals and scrubbed vigorously by well meaning homeowners. However grout can be compromised by abrasive scrubbing and chemicals if done repeatedly. We recommend color sealing grout lines for optimal stain protection. By color sealing grout lines a simple cleaning can clean off dirt on the grout lines quite easily without the need for abrasive brushes and harsh chemicals. By properly sealing your grout it will look better and last longer.
