These guys are so honest! Dave came out to look at my kitchen flooring -- tumbled travertine--and indicated (by actually cleaning a portion) that my floors were too clean to really need their services. I'll continue to do my own tile cleaning since I am a perfectionist and want the grout as light as I can get it. I will definitely give The Groutsmith a call when my floors do need the work. read more

I was so impressed with the work that The Groutsmith completed on our two bathrooms. From the very beginning their customer service and professionalism was exceptional. Jan was extremely detailed in explaining their policies and resourceful in finding a date for the repair. Dave came out quickly and gave us and estimate. He delivered great education about the repair. Joshua did a phenomenal job on our bathrooms. Thank you Joshua for delivering great customer service, your politeness, arriving on time, wearing shoe covers and a mask! We will definitely continue using The Groutsmith, and recommend them to anyone looking for grout repair. Everyone is extremely professional, reasonable, and a pleasure to work with. read more

Okay...this company is amazing. As a Realtor I need to have great resources for my clients. Jan at Groutsmith San Diego has recently completed four jobs for my seller clients cleaning & restoring tile/grout. The beautiful work shows up in the listing photos and in person looks fantastic. They match grout and caulking colors to what is appropriate (not using just the standard white). Thank you Jan for the beautiful work!! Jerry Linney Ascent Real Estate read more

Had an estimate from a guy to replace the grout for $150. Called Jan and she told me 220 to make it look great and grout will NOT be replaced. Guy at home depot told me when grout comes out tile may get damaged. Sooooo i had these guys clean the grout, fill the holes and put sealer on it. Looks like new. I would use them again for other grout issues in my home. read more

I give this business five stars for its work, products, owners and crew. If I could give one hundred stars, I would! I truly thought my granite kitchen countertops would have to be replaced after a former boyfriend blackened them with cooking oil. I know now that the granite may never have been protectively sealed. The Groutsmith came to the rescue. Apparently the near-magic poultice that is used by this company lifted the oil out of the rock surface even though the granite was installed 25 years ago. My countertops are now clean and beautiful. After the cleaning, a seal was applied to protect the surface for a couple of years. Jan, one of the owners, was delightful to work with. Her crew was professional and had many years of experience cleaning surfaces. The price was less expensive than I anticipated, and the result met all my criteria. I will use this company again. read more

Let me start by saying I only give 5 starts if I mean it! Service and product must be perfect! Groutsmith is perfect. They have great customer service and do amazing work. We had our tile/grout cleaned, stained, and sealed (hope i used the correct terminology) by the lovely gentlemen of Groutsmith. They were professional, trustworthy, and hard-working. They know their stuff, or should I say their tile?! I talked with, Jan, to schedule an appointment, she was patient and flexible with scheduling. Grant, came out to give us a FREE estimate, and did a FREE sample cleaning. He was professional and ended up returning to do the rest of our tile floors/bathrooms. I wish I took a before and after picture....but It's like we got new tile floors. read more

This was our first time having our travertine floors professionally cleaned and due to the excellent reviews we decided to give The Groutsmith a try. I do feel the service is a little pricy, but we are very pleased with our floors and the experience. All the staff were great, starting with Dave who gave the quote and faciliated the cleaning. And then Jan on the phones directed me on the best product for filling holes and when I purchased the wrong one she quickly sent me the correct product at no extra change, which I really appreciated. I would definitely recommend this family-run company. read more

This is the type of business you want to spend your money with. Everyone we dealt with was friendly and professional. Most importantly, they worked magic on our dirty grout and our home feels much brighter and cleaner now. Once you see the demo, you will understand the difference. Invest in your home by investing in The Groutsmith. read more

Jan responded immediately and clearly and was very helpful. She explained they were not the right fit for what we needed, and was helpful and clear in explaining why we needed a contractor type to fix the underlying problem first. Thanks Jan! read more

I can't even begin to describe how nice our tile floors turned out. They had become extremely stained in the grout lines from years of "cleaning". Water would settle in the grout making it even dirtier and we could never get them clean. We had the grout sealed and cleaned by The Groutsmith and the pictures speak for themselves! Jan in the office was so sweet and made the entire process so easy. Colin and his team were professional and very friendly. If I could give 10 stars I would! read more

We worked remotely with Jan to coordinate the cleaning of tile floors the cleaning of grout around sinks and shower and the replacement of caulk around sinks and shower. They did a wonderful job. It looks great and our new tenant is very very pleased as are we. They know what they are doing and I can't recommend them highly enough read more

Whenever we find excellence, my wife Carole and I consider it important to let it be known as widely as possible. This letter is designed to alert you of the excellence shown to us recently by Groutsmith San Diego representatives, Leanno and Brent. Although there are numerous tile and grout companies available to us, we chose this company because of the A rating recorded on Angie's List. All of the personnel we interacted with at this enterprise were living proof of that rating, and so we wish to hereby highly recommend Groutsmith San Diego. You may have heard the saying: "You never get a second chance to make a first impression." Your team's first impression was wonderful: clean very professional looking truck, men dressed smartly, friendly, engaging, articulate, knowledgeable, eager to check out and resolve our problems. Because of all the above, we were much more receptive than we might have been to accept their recommendations of what we needed. They explained simply and clearly what our problems were, and took the time to show us what was worn down, why, and what needed to be done to make our marble shower, bathroom marble floor, bathroom vanity, and kitchen counter look restored and sealed. Leanno and Brent went about their work quickly and efficiently, no idle chatter between them or on their cellphones as so many tradesmen do. As consumers, we have experienced numerous examples of exploitation by unscrupulous tradesmen, so quite sadly, we tend to approach new repair people with skepticism, and wary of being "taken" once again. Accordingly, it's often a very uncertain beginning in the first few minutes of engagement between client and tradesmen. Bottom line, Groutsmith Owner Jan, Leanno and Brent quickly broke through that invisible barrier and restored our faith and trust in quality customer service as advertised. Truly you care, and take pride in your craft and your company. I was a TV Business Reporter for many years, covering the rags to riches successes of small business enterprises like yours, and in interviewing hundreds of entrepreneurs, I constantly heard how critically important quality customer service was to building the business. Clearly, your company got the message, and if I were still a reporter, I would be on your doorstep tomorrow, eager to communicate to consumers everywhere how outstanding a company it is that you lead, and how committed to superior customer service every member of your team seems to be. Long may it be so... Bravo to you all! Sincerely, Bruce read more

We were about to gut our entire bathroom when my husband saw the groutsmith van on the road. I wish I would have known about this company years ago. They came and gave us a quote, came the following week and finished the job in two days. Totally efficient, very professional and the work was perfect. Our bathroom looks brand new for a fraction of what we inititally thought and without the hassle. Highly recommend! read more

Our kitchen grout was over 10 years old and had never been resealed. It was really bad! We called Groutsmith and the floor looks amazing! Everyone was so helpful and friendly. read more

I called Groutsmith of San Diego, located in my home town of San Marcos at (858)779-1446 last week and am thrilled with the results. They were very professional, returned my calls promptly, and Jan came out and spent more than an hour with me looking at my tile and discussing in detail the services I wanted and picking grout and sealing materials best for my existing tile and grout. I've had my ceramic tile floors for nearly 20 years and there was much worn, even missing, grout in the high traffic areas, a few cracked tiles (under refrigerator and near sink), and some very deep dirt in the grout in the bathroom that had always been used by the kids. Someone came out on Monday and fixed and repaired the grout and replaced several broken tiles (thank goodness I kept the extras). Today, three gentlemen came out and scrubbed the tile, cleaned the grout, and then sealed the grout with a tinted resin seal that will last for years with all the grout restored to the same shade and like-new condition. They arrived early, were very polite and professional, and left everything in good condition. I couldn't be happier with the service I received. They are not cheap but I consider their charges quite fair $825 for repairing/replacing grout and tile, cleaning, and sealing in two bathrooms, one washroom, one kitchen, and the family room. It's way cheaper than a new floor and looks great. I'm going to try to attach a picture of the family room floor. After my bad experiences twice trying to hire someone to do the job, I am really pleased to recommend Groutsmith San Diego. read more

The Groutsmith - All of the tiles are cleaned, broken ones replaced, grout repaired as needed, grout cleaned, and a tinted resin seal applied. Like new again - Grout Services Near Me - San Marcos, California

The Groutsmith worked on our tile three month ago and their work is amazing! They were so efficient and safe during these covid times. Our bathrooms and tiles look completely refreshed and have held up so well! read more

We just had 2,000+ sf of tile flooring redone in our home by The Groutsmith San Marcos and we are extremely pleased. In addition to cleaning and sealing, we had the grout color changed. The process was easy, the customer service was stellar and the end result made our 11-year old floors look brand new. We really appreciated how Jan and her staff managed the scheduling and overall communications and how thoughtful Dave was in helping us choose our new, more sensible grout color. Highly recommended!!! read more

We've used Groutsmith on some of the rental properties we manage with good results, we will use them again. Patrick and the LCHomes.com Team read more

I just wanted to say that I agree with all the previous reviews about how outstanding Groutsmith is. Frank came by to replace the caulk in 2 bathrooms and took the time to explain to me the entire process while he did it. I had a minor issue several days later which Jan immediately made sure was resolved soon after. It's rare to find a company that stands behind what they do, but you'll find exactly that when you hire Groutsmith. read more

We just had almost 1000 sq. ft. of floor tile repaired and refreshed by The Groutsmith. Our only disappointment is how sorry we were to have waited this long to get this done! The floor looks brand new, the workers were professional and on time. Just can't say enough good things! read more

Groutsmith did a thorough and impressive job refinishing our master shower. I believe the shower had never been sealed by the original owners, so the grout was absorbing water and growing mildew. They drilled out, deep cleaned, repaired, and color sealed it all, and now it looks better than new. read more

It was my first time working with this company and it was a real pleasure. I spoke to Jan and described what I needed - to correct a seriously botched caulking job on a shower pan. Learning that I am a realtor, Jan understood the necessity of timely address of my issue and provided a quote over the phone and offered options for fitting my small job into their busy schedule right away. After receiving two other quotes, one higher and another much higher, I contacted Jan again not only due to price but because of their other excellent reviews - I needed the job to be done right for my buyers this time. I sent Jan photos asking her to confirm that she could indeed do the job for what she quoted. Upon seeing the photos she said it appeared to be more work than she had originally envisioned but would honor her original quote. Technician, Brent, kept in timely communication on appointment day, was knowledgeable, courteous and did a beautiful job. He took care to protect the surrounding area; cleaned up without leaving a trace; he even went ahead and caulked a short corner section on the outside of the shower that had a gap in the grout which wasn't part of the original job because he said it was easy enough to do. Every aspect of my experience working with The Groutsmith was top notch. I would definitely use again and recommend them highly! read more

I moved into a newly constructed townhome and had a lot of questions about grout. The owners of the Company, Dave & Jan, answered all of my questions throughout the process despite me probably being a pain. All of my grout is now properly sealed. I will be a repeat customer and recommend to friends. read more

My tile looks like it did the day it was put in. Jan , your guys did an amazing job. I have a lot of clients and friends that could use your services. read more

I had Groutsmith over to clean / seal grout and replace caulk in a few bathrooms, showers, and kitchen sink. They did a fantastic job. The owner, Dave, came over a few days ago for the initial demo / estimate - cool guy, straightforward, no pressure, good vibe. He cleaned a section of my entry floor tile to show me what it could/should look like and then proceeded to spec out the work for the remaining areas. Huge shout outs to Joshua and Alberto for their awesome work. They took their time, made sure to do a very thorough job. Again, very friendly, total pros. I went with Groutsmith b/c of these Yelp reviews and am very happy and relieved to say that they absolutely earn their high ratings. read more

We are in the process of selling our house and needed to get all our bathrooms re-grouted and caulked as well our kitchen's granite countertops sealed, cleaned and re-grouted. Jan came by the next day I called her and her team came out the following week to get everything done perfectly! Jan was very meticulous and consultative during our initial meeting and helped me pick out a good color for the grout for our tile flooring. Jan and her team did such a great job that everything looks so new! I wanted to use a coupon that I found but Jan ended up giving me a bigger discount - which we appreciated greatly! I highly recommend The Groutsmith and will definitely use them again. read more

We were looking for someone to do a deep clean of our white tile floor. It was installed only 3 years ago. However, because it wasn't sealed, it quickly became dirty - even though we mopped it on a regular basis. Dave came to give us a quote and a quick demo. We were amazed at the difference and quickly booked an appointment. Albert and Anthony came on time and did an absolutely wonderful job. In fact, the tiles look like they were just installed and our countertop looks brand new. An amazing team and an amazing small business. I will definitely use them again! read more

Jan and her crew were awesome. Start to finish they are professional and reliable. I love my new kitchen back splash Grout. I went from thinking I would be spending thousands to replace it after we bought the home to being thankful for this company and their expertise in resealing and updating the look. read more

The grout in the house that my wife and I recently purchased was filthy, basically black when it should have been white. We considered replacing all of the tile because it was so bad. We contacted Grout Smith to see if it could be salvaged. Dave came by and did an in home demo. We were floored (get it?) by how great the grout looked. The cost was extremely reasonable, especially considering we were thinking about replacement. The crew was just out and cleaned, sealed and colored our 750 Sqft. It looks brand new. Unfortunately I didn't get any before pics, but take my word, you want to do this. read more

When I got my porcelain tile floors installed I didn't realize that the grout hadn't been sealed. When the pandemic started I spent a lot of time trying to clean the grout in my kitchen to no avail. I hired a company to clean and seal it; while the company I won't name gave me a good demo their work didn't live up to it. Then I heard about grout color matching and sealing, and after evaluating a few companies selected Groutsmith. They did an astounding job, and now the grout matches so well that you can't even detect it. Even better, their sealing method is supposed to last five years or more (unlike the previous company's six months). So I made a mistake the first time but am very happy I chose Groutsmith now. Not only were they very accomodating on the phone and answered all questions, but Dave has an astonishing memory, recalling everything we had briefly chatted about three months earlier. I even asked them to come back a few days after the work had been completed to move a concrete table that I couldn't life and they did so cheerfully. I highly recommend Groutsmith. read more

Had a shower that was SUCH A MESS that I thought I was going to have to replace it, My home had been a rental and it was not kept up at all, so you can imagine how awful it looked. But I called groutsmith and a few others and groutsmith won out on the bid. Thank goodness they did because in 4 hours of not even knowing anyone was in my house, I had a brand new shower for less than half of what a shower door would have cost! Don't look anywhere else, trust me...this is the best game in town for making your grout and surrounding areas look amazing for a low price! read more

Start to finish a great experience. Jan set estimate appt., hubs Dave prompt and detailed to set pricing on 3 bathrooms then kitchen...reasonable $ for amount of work. Tech Albert in communication prior to both appts and in-out within 3-4 hours each time. All looks good...will use again. read more

I honestly can't say enough good things about Jan and the team at Groutsmith. We had a very challenging project (the ceramic tile floor in a 3500 square foot laundromat that really hadn't been properly cared for in many years) and they did a fabulous job. They went above and beyond to ensure our satisfaction and there is no question in my mind we will use them on a regular basis to ensure our flooring remains in the best condition possible. read more

Groutsmith of San Diego fulfilled their mission statement promises! Dave provided a detailed estimate in a friendly and professional manner. He also provided a thorough explanation of the appropriate process to remove the stubborn dirt, grime, and mildew on our tile, marble, granite showers and countertops-especially the hard-to-reach areas. Jan was also a pleasure to work with as she scheduled the date for the restoration job and she answered any additional questions I had. Colin and Andrew arrived on time and worked diligently until the job was done. They renewed the appearance of the tile, marble, granite, and grout and even provided instructions on the proper maintenance techniques to protect our investments. Thank you for providing exemplary service and I will be calling you again to do the same cleaning and sealing on our marble floors! read more

We just had the tile in our three bathrooms cleaned, repaired and sealed along with our laundry room and kitchen floors in our Carlsbad home. All the areas that were cleaned look like the day we moved in eighteen years ago. My tile looks brand new. The crew was very professional. They showed up on time, went over everything in advance and went through a final walk through. I highly recommend Groutsmith for all your tile cleaning and repair. We will definitely use then again. read more

Love this Company. They cleaned and sealed our tile grout and it looks like new. The work was awesome, but the customer service from this family- run company was better than any I've seen. They gave me tips and tons of advice and were just unbelievable. If you don't love this company, there is something wrong with you!! I will definitely have them back to do my bath and kitchen countertop tile. read more

The Groutsmith did an excellent job. Grant re-bonded some loose tiles in my kitchen to protect them from cracking. Grant and Fernando also cleaned and color sealed the tile and grout and I am thrilled with the results; the kitchen tile floor looks like new! Jan was very friendly and helpful on the phone, explaining in detail the services they offer. Grant initially came to do the estimate and was never pushy, even giving me some helpful tips if I decided to clean the grout myself. When doing the job, Grant was very careful, thorough and made sure the tiles bonded the way they were supposed to, staying longer than scheduled to make sure the job was done successfully. Because The Groutsmith provided me with such top rate service, I will definitely use them to re-bond, clean, and color seal my tile in the future. read more

If I could show you pictures of what my shower looked like before Groutsmith came I would but am too embarrassed...lol...if I knew my bath/shower was going to look this brand new I would have definitely done it sooner...thank you Groutsmith!!! read more

Five stars is definitely not enough to show our appreciation! We recently closed on a new construction home in San Diego. Since this was the first time we bought a new construction home, we didn't know anything about sealing tiles and groutlines as well as applying protectants to our kitchen and bathroom quartz countertops. We have 3.5 bathrooms, a laundry room, and a large kitchen so this was a big job. Our sincerest thanks to Jan for being incredibly gracious listening to our many questions and empathetic towards our trying to have these important services completed before we moved in. Many thanks to Cheryl for her follow-up call which made the consultation visit seamless. We greatly appreciate Dave visiting us in our new home for the on-site consultation and in a very thoughtful manner explaining not only the services recommended but also the rationale why each service was recommended. We've had previous experiences with other service providers who were either dismissive of our concerns or tried to upsell major renovations when far less intense solutions would have been sufficient. Dave is an excellent teacher. He pointed out findings which we did not notice during our final walkthrough with the builder and proposed quick and easy remedies. His taking the time to show us what he saw has made us much more educated homeowners. We also wish to extend our sincerest thanks to Bobby and to Dave for the excellent results of their efforts. Our new home is 4 stories, and the stairs are challenging. Bobby and Dave carried their tools and supplies up and down the stairs and always had very pleasant smiles and kind words. We finally would like to point out that Bobby and Dave were extremely mindful to lay out a drop cloth to protect our new floors, they were meticulous in cleaning up afterward, and the final results are showroom worthy! :) read more
