Thanks to Another Successful Stone Sealing in Needham, MA, This Travertine Floor Now Boasts a Wonderful New Look

July 26, 2021

A resident from Needham, MA, needed Sir Grout's help. The owner was hosting a party for her family, but she was not happy with the condition of her travertine floor. While preparing the house for the event, she noticed the grout lines were dirty, and the stone looked unappealing. This was a problem for her because she wanted her home to be perfect for her guests. Determined to solve the issue, the owner tried using some DIY cleaning routines she found online. She followed the instructions and spent time mopping and brushing the floor. Unfortunately, there was no improvement.


Frustrated by the negative outcome, she decided it was best to hire professionals. Thankfully, one of her friends was a loyal Sir Grout of Greater Boston client. He highly recommended our services and advised her to contact us as soon as possible. The owner followed his suggestion and visited our website. After browsing our picture gallery, and reading the glowing reviews our satisfied customers leave us every day, she filled out the "Request a Quote" form and asked for a free inspection. Our Needham Stone Sealing experts successfully restored her travertine floor, and now the house is ready to receive her guests.

Following her request, we arrived to perform the in-home consultation and to offer a solution for the problems. We immediately noticed the travertine tiles looked dull and the grout lines had accumulated dirt. Because of this, the entire surface had an unsightly appearance. We also noticed the grout lines were unsealed. It was necessary to address this problem as soon as possible because common grout is porous and can absorb all sorts of external agents, which can lead to damage and deterioration. After finishing the assessment, we concluded that regular cleaning methods wouldn't provide an effective restoration. To successfully address the issues, it was necessary to use Sir Grout's professional process and high-end equipment. We proposed a stone sealing service to improve the stone with a new look and give the surface a resilient protective shield. The owner was happy with our offer, hired us, and we set up a date for the job.

We began the stone sealing job a few days after the evaluation. For the first step of our thorough restoration process, we cleaned the travertine floor using our exclusive stone-safe cleaner and a high-speed scrubber. Our product won't cause any damage to the tiles or grout because it doesn't contain harsh components. It also offers many other benefits and doesn't leave a residue. After effectively removing the soiling, we proceeded with the grout repairs. To address the damages and fix all the issues, we used professional diamond saws and worked on the entire floor. Once we finished cleaning, the surface was ready for the sealing process.

To ensure long-lasting results, we used Sir Grout's ColorSeal. Our flagship sealant is made with high-quality ingredients and provides unmatched protection. It wards off dirt, grime, and other external agents, making cleaning routines easy and fast. A coating of our sealer also offers UV defense, for areas subjected to solar damage. ColorSeal greatly improves the surface by giving the grout a uniform color and a brand-new appearance. It comes in a wide range of colors, allowing homeowners to match the tiles with the grout. When we finished all the steps, the floor had been completely restored and the travertine tiles had a gorgeous new look.

Our client loved the renewed appearance of her floor. She was very happy because the restoration had been fast and cost-effective. Impressed by our excellent performance, she thanked us and assured us she would recommend Sir Grout of Greater Boston to everyone.

Travertine tiles are a great choice for flooring, offering style, beauty, and durability. The surface can last for a long time, but the stone requires proper care. Following our recommendations is the best way to keep these surfaces in top condition. To prevent the accumulation of dirt, we suggest setting up a weekly cleaning routine. When performing this chore, use only pH-neutral, soap-free cleaners like Sir Grout's Natural Hard Surface Cleaner. Unlike store-bought cleaners, our product doesn't leave any residue and offers many benefits. It is non-toxic and safe for everyone in the house, including pets. We don't recommend using soap-based cleaners or substances that contain acidic properties. These products can harm the travertine tiles, causing dull spots, etching, and other issues.

It is also important to keep the surface as dry as possible. Avoid leaving spills lingering for long periods. To dry spills, soak them up with a paper towel or an absorbent cloth. Don't wipe or spread them and don't use abrasive tools like steel wools because they can scratch the stone.
