Re-Grouting in Fairfax, VA. Is it a DIY Project or Not?
How dirty, grimy, and dingy is your tile’s grout? If you’re like most, you probably waited until your grout became significantly discolored, as it’s something that often “creeps up” on you, slowly. Years and years worth of dirt, grime, and mold from foot traffic and spills will leave your tile’s grout looking quite nasty if you allow it. Furthermore, if your grout isn’t properly sealed, then it’s going to be much more susceptible to these discoloring agents. So, is re-grouting in Fairfax, Virginia, a DIY project? The short answer is, “not really”. It’s not a weekend warrior DIY project simply due to the fact that you most likely don’t have the tools and know-how to properly perform the job. While plenty of videos on YouTube can assist you in your re-grouting endeavor, they may not always be correct. Remember, you can’t trust everything you see on the internet.
