Sir Grout of the Lowcountry stands out from competitors by providing exceptional hard surface restoration services. We offer customized solutions, expert guidance, and impeccable results, ensuring a seamless process that saves our clients time and effort.

Right on schedule, we returned to our client's home, swiftly prepared the equipment, and proceeded with the multi-step process. First, we soaked the floor with an alkaline-based solution and deep-cleaned it with a professional-grade extraction machine.

Then, we cleaned and rinsed the surface with a neutral cleaner. This solution is stone-safe and contains premium ingredients, ensuring effective results without leaving a residue or damaging the surface.

Next, we applied a special sealant to reinforce the surface. This protective shield guards the stone against spills, water damage, etching, and stains. It also enhances its natural beauty, simplifies maintenance, and can provide long-lasting durability, keeping the surface in excellent condition.

After meticulously completing every step, we achieved a flawless restoration. We added the final touches, cleaned up, and invited the homeowner to inspect the results.

She was delighted with her beautifully restored travertine floor and sincerely thanked us for exceeding her expectations.

As part of our commitment to customer satisfaction, we explained the importance of proper maintenance to prevent surface damage and minimize deterioration. We always provide practical tips and expert recommendations for routine care.

Our guidance includes consistent cleaning, periodic sealing, and addressing issues promptly with the right products and techniques. Effective maintenance begins with clean water and fresh mop heads—never reuse dirty water, and always use non-abrasive tools to prevent scratching or dulling the surface.

It is best to use only pH-neutral, soap-free cleaners like Sir Grout's Natural Hard Surface Cleaner. Our cleaner is gentle on stone surfaces, delivers excellent results, and is safe for the entire household, including pets.

Store-bought cleaners are often soap-based and contain harsh chemicals that can cause significant damage. They also leave a residue that can seep into the surface, causing discoloration, staining, and other long-term issues.
