When searching for re-grouting or re-caulking in Sterling, VA, rely on the professionals at The Grout Medic of Northern Virginia

Is your tile’s grout and caulk showing signs of wear and tear? If you’re seeing chipped or cracked grout or your caulking is peeling away from your tiled surfaces, then it’s time to call a professional. But, why should you rely on a professional for such a seemingly easy weekend project as re-grouting or re-caulking in Sterling, VA? The answer is, it’s not as simple of a project as you may think. Wouldn’t you rather have the project completed in just one day, the correct way, as opposed to being unsure if your beads of caulk are watertight? We’ve been performing re-grouting and re-caulking in Sterling, VA, and surrounding areas for nearly two decades, so we know which type of grout and caulk to use in different scenarios and for different tile types. Call us today for a free consultation at 703-634-4646.

Does it matter which type of grout or caulk I use on my tile?

Yes, it very much matters which type of both grout or caulk that you use when performing re-grouting or re-caulking in your shower, bath area, or on your tile in general. Different areas require different types of caulk. Additionally, different gaps between tiles requires different types of grout. The last thing you’d want is to spend the entire weekend applying grout and/or caulk only to find out you did it incorrectly and that it needs to ripped out and re-applied using the correct grout or caulk type. We’ve seen this more times than we could possibly count, and it’s never happy news to deliver to any homeowner.

Failing to apply to the correct type of caulk in your shower can be extremely detrimental. First, it won’t last as long and will begin to become grimy within just a few weeks. Second, if it’s not a watertight seal that’s been achieved, then you run the risk of tile water damage. This is when water seeps past your caulking and into your wall or floor, resulting in water damage to the wood next to or beneath your shower. Tile water damage is much more expensive than a professional re-caulking job, so why risk it? We’re both licensed and insured tile contractors in the state of Virginia and never subcontract out any work, as it’s directly connected to our business name – which we take great pride in our reputation, thereof.

How long would it take The Grout Medic to re-grout or re-caulk my tiled surfaces?

That really depends on the extent of the re-grouting or re-caulking project, so it’s really not possible to answer, as there’s no “one-size-fits-all” approach to re-grouting and re-caulking. But, in most cases, we can completely remove all the old, bad grout or caulk and re-apply new grout or caulk in just one day. We then ask that you don’t use the area that’s been re-caulked or re-grouted for approximately 72 hours, to allow everything to cure and correctly bond to your tiled surface.

So, please avoid taking on the weekend warrior approach to your home’s tile and grout service needs. It’s truly not as easy as you may think and you definitely don’t want a simple re-caulking job to turn into a tile water damage repair project. It gets much more expensive from there.
