Overview

About The Groutsmith

- Service is in high demand - Modest fixed monthly royalty - Low cost of entry

The Groutsmith is the market leader in tile, grout, and natural stone cleaning, restoration, repair, preservation, and anti-slip services. Our proprietary products and techniques yield exceptional results and give our customers a viable option to renew their hard surfaces at a fraction of the cost of replacement. We are a home-based, mobile franchise service that caters to residential homeowners and commercial business owners. With multiple revenue streams across multiple markets our company and franchisees have grown and thrived regardless of outside economic factors. The Groutsmith franchise uses a fixed royalty system, which requires no financial reporting, eliminates unnecessary red tape, and gives franchisees the opportunity to prosper. The more the franchisees make, the more they keep. Look around- tile, grout, and natural stone is everywhere. Complete replacement of tile, grout and natural stone surfaces can be cost prohibitive to many consumers. Giving the customer an alternative to complete replacement at a more feasible cost keeps our service in high demand. It’s quite simple- products, knowledge, and people. Products: Groutsmith professional products are specially formulated to provide amazing results with less effort and for less cost. Knowledge: Our hands-on training program and knowledge transfer protocols provide every franchisee the opportunity to become the true expert in their own exclusive territory. People: The Groutsmith franchise system is comprised of good people from various backgrounds and different life experiences. Collectively, The Groutsmith operates as a large “family” business, always eager to help one another. Where there’s tile, grout, or natural stone there’s a potential customer.
