OUR MISSION: To provide the highest quality of tile and grout cleaning, restoration and repair; to enable homeowners and business owners to enjoy and appreciate the beauty and functionality of their tile and grout surfaces; and to instruct proper maintenance techniques and provide the best products to keep their tile and grout beautiful. We will make you love your tile again! In 1992, we recognized the strong demand that existed for a professional service to clean, repair and restore tile and grout floors and showers. The work, at that time, was being done primarily by handymen and amateurs. There needed to be a professional who could analyze the condition of grout and tile and then determine which service, repair and products were needed to professionally restore them to their original condition. Thus, the Groutsmith was born. As the owner of The Groutsmith Brandywine, my job is both interesting and rewarding, in that my customers are happy when we arrive and even happier when we leave! The difference between before and after is just that great!
"Excellent. Prompt, efficient, work done as explained at time of estimate, extremely satisfied, marble looks better than first installed"

"We were quite pleased with the work performed. Prior to starting the project, the scope of the work, with discussion of the many options involving construction and design, was very carefully reviewed. Santos offered good ideas when requested The general construction and tile work were excellent. The tile patterns were laid out and carefully aligned. The grout and caulk were applied and smoothed very neatly. Plumbing and new fixtures were properly installed. The shower floor and ledges have the proper slant. The work crew arrived on time and took care to clean at the end of each day. After the job was completed, we found a couple minor items that needed to be corrected. Santos responded immediately to our request and returned right away to fix them with a cheerful attitude. We definitely will hire him again for any future construction project."

Labor costs for ceramic tile installation range from $3 to $15 per square foot, varying based on your location and project complexity. Basic grid patterns on well-prepared surfaces fall toward the lower end of this range, while intricate designs or installations requiring extensive preparation command premium rates. Most professionals calculate charges based on square footage rather than hourly rates, with labor representing 60 to 70% of the total project cost.
For a 1000-square-foot ceramic tile installation, expect to pay between $12,000 and $45,000 total, though most standard residential projects trend toward the lower half of this range. This breaks down to $12 to $45 per square foot for materials and labor combined. Projects of this magnitude often qualify for volume discounts, potentially reducing your per-square-foot cost, especially when using standard tile types and straightforward installation patterns.
Tile installation requires significant expertise, specialized tools, and meticulous attention to detail throughout multiple labor-intensive stages. Professionals must properly prepare surfaces, apply appropriate adhesives, precisely cut and place each tile, and finish with proper grouting and sealing. The process involves critical waiting periods between steps for proper curing. Improper installation can lead to expensive problems, including water damage, cracked tiles, and mold growth, making professional expertise particularly valuable.
The 3/4/5 rule uses basic geometry to ensure tile layouts begin with perfectly square corners. Installers measure three feet along one wall and four feet along the perpendicular wall, then verify that the diagonal between these points measures exactly five feet. This triangulation technique, based on the Pythagorean theorem, confirms right angles and helps prevent alignment problems that would become increasingly noticeable as installation progresses across the room.
