In 1997, there were hardly any offerings for recaulking and resealing; rather, homeowners were left to completely replace or remodel tile flooring that needed attention.The Grout Medic entered the franchising space in 2001. With over 50 locations, the concept was ready to bring the support systems and resources it had developed over the years to passionate entrepreneurs.The Grout Medic Holds a Key Position in the $20 Billion Ceramic Tile Market, Providing Tile Restoration Services“Everyone has tile in their home, so a lot of people will look at tile getting dirty and think that they need to rip up the floors and completely remodel,” explained brand lead&nbsp;<a href="https://www.linkedin.com/in/david-muirhead-7898b77/?utm_source=1851franchise.com&utm_medium=article&utm_campaign=grout-repair-and-restoration-concept-the-grout-medic-works-to-exceed-the-100-unit-mark-2721185" target="_blank" rel="nofollow">David Muirhead</a>. “The Grout Medic comes in and can restore what they already have, making the floor look brand new with far less time and effort.”In addition to more cost and time-effective services, The Grout Medic works to educate its customers; this encourages strong customer relationships and positions franchisees well to secure repeat business.The Grout Medic focuses on these core services: regrouting, recaulking grout cleaning, grout sealing/color sealing and small tile repair, and water damage repair. However, these services can be applied to a range of prospective customers.“It is a niche home service, and we service two kinds of customers: those who need the service and those who want it,” Muirhead added. “There are some issues that must be fixed right away in order to avoid further damage. The other side of the coin is the want — those who see before and after pictures and realize their dirty floor can be cleaned up and look brand new again.”Because of the versatility of tile, The Grout Medic owners are able to establish relationships with both residential and commercial clients, including restaurants and hotels.Franchisees Receive a Bank of ResourcesGrout Medic provides a prime opportunity for franchisees to enter the market with a smaller initial investment and turn a profit quickly with the support of the team.“To get started is very simple. You don’t have a lot of tools to carry, it’s easy to ramp up and you can make a profit very quickly,” he explained. “It is a low-cost model compared to other home services out there, and&nbsp;<a href="https://1851franchise.com/premiumservicebrands">Premium Service Brands</a> has a tremendous amount of support. Whether it is contact center, coaching, brand lead support or marketing, we have everything in place for new franchise owners to tap into.”Muirhead notes that the contact center is a key aspect of franchisee support as it manages customer relations, leads and scheduling,&nbsp;allowing the franchise owner to spend more time working&nbsp;on the business instead of&nbsp;in the business, and freeing them up to manage crews and other aspects like sales, marketing, and ensuring crew production. They also have a better opportunity to network with other vendors and home services professionals and focus on the local community.The initial investment also includes comprehensive training on the Grout Medic model, sales, marketing and leadership. Franchisees also have access to ongoing corporate support from the powerful team at Premium Service Brands and robust coaching.“20 years ago, we were just a small operation,” he said. “We didn’t have any real systems in place. But as we have evolved, we’ve built call centers, developed software and created the systems franchise owners need to succeed. Every year, we improve on all systems.”In addition to the internal support available through Grout Medic, franchise owners have access to the larger network of Premium Service Brands owners. As a group of home service providers, owners within the Premium Service Brands network serve as a built-in network for potential customer referrals.The Future of The Grout MedicWith 57 units currently, The Grout Medic is working diligently to surpass the 100-unit mark. As it grows, it is seeking passionate franchisees to join the team.“I’ve seen people from corporate, restaurant and retail backgrounds. They come from all over,” Muirhead said. “You don’t necessarily have to have a background in construction or home services to succeed with The Grout Medic. As we move forward, our goals are to continue providing great support and growing the franchise base with dedicated businesspeople.”To learn more about franchising with The Grout Medic, visit: premiumservicebrands.com/the-grout-medic/ &nbsp;
