Project timelines vary depending on the scope of work and square footage. For example, a standard shower cleaning and sealing with re-caulking typically takes 1 full day. A grout replacement for a shower floor usually requires 1.5 days due to drying times. Larger projects like full floor re-grouting or new tile installations can range from 3-5 days to 1-2 weeks. We'll provide an estimated timeline with your detailed quote for your specific DFW project.

While both seal joints, grout (cementitious or epoxy-based) is primarily used to fill the spaces between tiles. It provides structural stability but has limited flexibility. Caulking (often silicone or acrylic) is a flexible sealant used in areas prone to movement, like corners, changes of plane (e.g., where a wall meets a tub), or around fixtures. Its flexibility helps prevent cracks and water penetration. Straightline Grout offers expert application of both in DFW.
For floor projects, we kindly ask that you clear the work area of any furniture, appliances, or personal items that can be easily moved. For larger items, please discuss this with us during the quoting process, as additional arrangements may be necessary to ensure an efficient and safe working environment.
We primarily focus on the expert installation of tile and grout. While we do not typically provide the tile, we can offer guidance on material types and quantities needed for your DFW tile project. If you provide the tile, we expect it to be on-site at the project location prior to our arrival; we do not offer tile delivery services.
After shower re-caulking or re-grouting, we typically recommend waiting 24-48 hours before using your shower. This allows the new materials to properly cure and bond, ensuring maximum durability and water resistance for your North Texas bathroom.
For grout replacement or epoxy color sealing, we advise staying off the treated floor for at least 24 hours. This ensures proper curing of the grout or sealant. We'll give you specific instructions for your project's particular materials and conditions upon completion of our service in DFW.
No, it's crucial to avoid walking on the newly treated floor for at least 24 hours after grout replacement or epoxy color sealing. This allows the materials to fully set and cure, which is essential for their long-term durability and appearance.
While sealing significantly protects your tile and grout from stains and makes them much easier to clean, it does not make them impervious to dirt or grime. Sealant acts as a protective barrier, reducing porosity and preventing liquids and dirt from penetrating. Regular maintenance cleaning is still necessary, but much simpler. We apply high-quality sealants designed for lasting protection in DFW homes.
The lifespan of a sealant depends on factors like traffic, cleaning habits, and the type of sealant used. Generally, transparent grout sealants can last 1-3 years in high-traffic areas and longer in low-traffic areas. Epoxy color seals, being more durable, can last 5-15 years or more. We'll discuss expected lifespan and reapplication recommendations for your specific project in North Texas.
Grout is naturally porous, meaning it has tiny holes that can trap dirt, oils, and cleaning residue, making it look dirty quickly, especially if it's unsealed or improperly cleaned. Common culprits include using dirty mop water, harsh cleaners that strip sealant, or not thoroughly rinsing. Professional grout cleaning and sealing by Straightline Grout can reset its appearance and provide a protective barrier to keep it cleaner for longer in your DFW home.
