Cooking oils, grease films and grout discoloration — the high-traffic restoration most pros skip.
Kitchen tile lives under a film of cooking oil and grease that mop water can't reach. The grout lines store it. Then the dirt sticks to it.
Spiker's kitchen-tile protocol degreases first, then extracts.
View full Tile & Grout Cleaning serviceColor sealing wears off and has to be redone every year for the life of the floor. It's a quick visual fix often used by sellers to dress up a home — but it locks the next owner into permanent maintenance. Spiker uses penetrating sealer that protects the grout without painting over it.
Manmade tile (ceramic and porcelain) is $1.50 per square foot under 2,000 sqft and $1.25 per square foot over 2,000 sqft for cleaning and sealing. Natural stone is quoted after we inspect it, because existing sealants may need to be stripped first.
Natural stone — travertine, marble, slate, limestone — often has prior sealants, color enhancers, or coatings on it. Cleaning and re-sealing over old product doesn't work. The old coating has to be stripped first, which is additional work and additional cost. We can't quote that blind. We inspect, identify what's on the stone, and quote the actual job in front of you.
Yes. We seal grout on ceramic, porcelain, and most natural stone installations. For natural stone surfaces themselves, that's where the inspection-based quote applies.
