Where it all started
120 Estimates from One Booth
In 2004, Mark Anthony Torres set up at the San Rafael Home & Garden Show with a simple banner and a stack of business cards. By the end of the weekend, he had booked 120 free estimates — and The Grout Guys of Bay Area was born.
That same commitment to showing up, doing honest work, and treating every home like our own has driven us for over 20 years. We're still family-owned, still based in Richmond, and still answering our own phones.
Commercial work
Building exterior tile restoration
We don't just do bathrooms. This decorative green and black tile facade on a Bay Area commercial building had failing grout and damaged sections. We restored it without replacing a single tile.

"My shower looked disgusting no matter how much I scrubbed. The Grout Guys regrouted it in one day and it looks brand new. I can't believe it's the same bathroom."
"Mark came out, gave me a fair price, and did exactly what he said. No upsell, no surprises. The kitchen floor grout went from brown back to white."
"I was about to spend $12,000 remodeling my master bath. The Grout Guys cleaned, resealed and recaulked it for a fraction of that. It looks new."
"Professional, on time, and they cleaned up everything. The shower regrout is flawless. Wish I'd called them years ago."
