Our Client’s #1 Complaint

Bathrooms.

Bathrooms and the surfaces within are the source of more facility complaints than any other place in a commercial building. The reason for these complaints is usually related to the tile and grout being… gross.

Improper nightly cleaning compound the problem by depositing dirty water below the floor line making it more difficult to properly clean and sanitize. Over time, your grout gets darker and darker as bacteria and dirt settle in the pores.

Sadly, a lot of solutions come packaged with issues.
… But not with APEX tile & grout services!

Issue: No warranty.

When you read the fine print, most service companies (or the products they use) don’t offer any warranty past one year. However, that is when most coatings begin to fail. APEX offers a comprehensive three-year warranty.

Issue: Too expensive.

Rather than provide a single solution to what may be a variable issue, APEX provides a suite of services in order to give our customers options based on budget and performance expectations.

Issue: You're stuck.

We can’t remove old coatings so we are stuck with the old system. APEX has been called to remove a wide variety of failed coatings and we can convert older, failure prone systems to a longer lasting, better performing product.

Issue: Too much downtime.

Our tile and grout solutions require no more than one day of downtime in most circumstances.

Issue: Poor lifespan.

Six months to a 1 year later, the floor looks just like it did before you restored the tile/grout. We hear this a lot and can provide training for housekeeping on how to properly clean a tile floor. Our Everclean services extend your warranty for life and help provide consistently clean sanitary floors.

We understand how important it is to your reputation and your facility’s reputation to keep the facility bathrooms fresh and sanitary. It shouldn’t be so difficult to achieve and maintain a high standard of cleanliness. We agree that’s why we have created a suite of services to give our customers options based on budget and performance expectations. Our tile and grout maintenance is quick, thorough, and environmentally friendly, with visually outstanding results.
