Is your grout stained, discolored, or outdated? Carter’s Carpet Restoration offers professional grout color restoration in El Dorado Hills to bring your tile floors back to life. Our process not only refreshes the look of your grout but also protects it with a permanent, waterproof sealant that makes cleaning easier than ever.

For over 20 years, Carter’s has been the trusted, family-owned company for tile, grout, and stone cleaning and restoration throughout El Dorado Hills and surrounding areas.

What is Grout Color Restoration?

Grout color restoration is the process of cleaning and sealing grout lines while also giving you the option to restore or change their color. Using a durable, waterproof sealant, we can:

  • Protect grout from absorbing dirt, water, and spills
  • Make routine cleaning simple — spills wipe right up
  • Transform the appearance of your tile by refreshing or changing the grout color

This is an ideal solution if your grout is permanently stained, faded, or just doesn’t match your style anymore.

Why Choose Grout Color Restoration?

  1. Permanent Waterproof Protection
    Unsealed grout acts like a sponge, soaking in liquids, dirt, and stains. Our restoration process creates a barrier so moisture and soil stay on the surface for easy cleanup.
  2. Update the Look of Your Tile Floors
    Changing your grout color can transform the entire look of a room. Whether you want to lighten, darken, or refresh your grout lines, our technicians will show you color options that complement your home.
  3. Low-Maintenance Cleaning
    Once sealed, your grout is protected, and routine maintenance becomes quick and easy with just warm water or mild cleaners.

Grout Color Restoration FAQs

1. How do I get my grout back to its original color?

The best way to restore grout color is with professional grout color sealing. Carter’s Carpet Restoration deep cleans grout lines, removes embedded soil, and applies a durable color sealant that brings back or enhances the original shade while protecting against future staining.

2. Can grout be recolored without replacing it?

Yes, grout can be recolored without removing or replacing it. Color restoration uses a tinted sealant that bonds to the existing grout, covering discoloration and creating a new, even finish. It also seals the grout so it stays clean longer.

3. How can I make my grout darker or lighter again?

You can darken or lighten your grout by applying a color sealant. Carter’s offers a wide range of color options, so you can refresh the original tone or completely change the look of your tile floors.

4. How do you change grout color without regrouting?

Changing grout color does not require regrouting. Carter’s applies a color sealant over existing grout after it has been professionally cleaned. This process permanently changes the color and adds a protective waterproof layer that resists dirt and moisture.

5. What is grout color sealing?

Grout color sealing is the process of applying a tinted sealant to grout lines. The sealant restores or changes color while protecting the grout from stains, water, and soil absorption. It is a long-lasting alternative to regrouting or constant scrubbing.

6. Does grout color restoration really work?

Yes, professional grout color restoration provides lasting results. It covers stains and discoloration, restores uniform color, and seals the grout so it repels moisture and dirt. With proper care, the finish can last for years.

7. How long does grout color sealing last?

Professional color sealing typically lasts 5 to 10 years, depending on foot traffic and cleaning habits. Carter’s uses high-quality sealants designed to withstand daily use and make maintenance easier.

8. What cleaners are safe for color-sealed grout?

Mild, pH-neutral cleaners or gentle soap-and-water solutions are best for color-sealed grout. Avoid harsh chemicals or acidic products like vinegar, which can weaken the seal over time.

9. Can vinegar or bleach ruin grout?

Yes, both vinegar and bleach can damage grout, especially if it is unsealed. They can erode the surface, cause discoloration, and weaken the bond. Carter’s always recommends pH-neutral cleaning solutions for safe maintenance.

10. How soon can I walk on my floors after grout color restoration?

Floors can usually be walked on right after the process is complete. Carter’s uses fast-drying, durable sealants so your tile floors are ready for use immediately after service.

Carter’s has always been a reliable business over our many years of having them clean our carpets.

The technician, Jose, was polite and on time. He took time to first check over everything for special cleaning needs and was efficient finishing in time for us to leave for another appointment as requested.

The young man who cleaned our carpets was very friendly & did a great job. There were a few spots we weren’t sure would come out. But he got them out.
Shawn Rogan
Another great service experience from Carter's Carpet. We have used Carter's several times over the 17 years of owning our home - sometimes due to a dire pet-initiated emergency and others for upkeep on our carpet to get as many years out of it as we can. Our recent service was for some pet stains and odors and to brighten up the stairway. The scheduling was easy. The day of service went smoothly with a prompt and well-mannered technician and the end result was what we expected. We appreciate being able to support a family-owned local company that does a great job.

Carpets look great. Jose was very professional and did a great job. Will use Carters again.
Sara Harris
Carter’s Carpet Cleaning did an amazing job for us! They cleaned our rugs, upholstery, and carpet, and managed to get out every stain. Best of all, there was no weird smell left behind—everything looked and felt fresh. The technician arrived right on time, was very thorough, and clearly cared about doing the job right. Their pricing is fair, and the quality of work far exceeded my expectations. I will definitely be using them again for their other services. Highly recommend!
Laura Taylor
I had an excellent experience with Carter’s Carpet Restoration. They arrived on time and were professional and pleasant. They removed stains that I thought would not come clean. My carpet looks brand new. I will highly recommend them.

Friendly, professional, and thorough. I was scheduled right away; they were on time and completed the job. My carpet was very clean. I've used them in the past and would recommend this company.
Katie Volpe
We had a minor job but needed attention to detail. We also were hoping for a quick repair. Carters was locally operated, replied very quickly, had great communication, and did the service quickly. The carpet patch looks great. Exceeded expectations and a value. Thank you.
Steve Hutchings
Great job on both our carpets and kitchen floor tile. I have not seen the grout so clean in years! Glad to have it sealed so it will stay that way. Our technician was great. Efficient, polite, got the job done, and paid attention to details. Will use this service again.
Jan Evgenikos
Excellent work! I cleaned my couch and recliner at least five times with the number one cleaner on the market. By the way, the smell of that cleaner was about as bad as the kitty urine odor. Anyway, I couldn't get the smell out. I finally used a steam cleaner, but still couldn't get the odor out. Carter's Carpet Cleaner was successful in removing the kitty urine odor leaving a very pleasant, refreshing smell. Also, the two employees were excellent, highly experienced, kind and respectful.
charles hummer
Excellent and courteous!
Antonio Monterrubio
So if you happen to notice that your 9 x 12 white wool carpet doesn't like it should and you wondering why did I spent so much cheddar on it? Well let me tell that Carters Carpet brought that joy back after they finished cleaning and the results were perfect, like new !!
Protect your investment and let Carter's Carpet help you maintain that look. Second time I request their services, 1st time was to refresh my white linen couch, and yes awesome job, so let's just say I no longer worry that much about being careful around these two items for I know Carter's Carpet knowledge and equipment is current, as well as their technicians. Overall I'm well pleased with their service.

Give them a try, it's rare to find customer service like this!
Bryan King
They did a great job of cleaning my stone flooring and shower. The grout looks it did when first installed
William Thompson
When I called the company, I could tell it was one of the owners who answered the phone. Their business was very important to them as was getting my business. At first the prices seemed a little bit more, but the other company’s nickel and dime you. The technician was nicely groomed, kind, confident, professional and was so easy to work with. The other companies I called locally really could’ve cared less that I was on the phone. I definitely recommend this company

I have used Carter's for over 10 yrs. They are fantastic. This yr was harder because of a new puppy in my household. Austin did an amazing job restoring my cream colored Berber carpet. They are the best.

The staff was very professional and thorough. Our carpets look great.

I use these guys every year in the spring and fall. They always deliver great service and happy customer service. I highly recommend them.
Robert Kilburg
First and foremost, got everything clean - all carpets and cloth dining room chairs. Second, total pros - conscientious, meticulous, and courteous. This is our fourth time using Carter's, and we will continue to do so.
Julie Parsons
Austin was professional, thorough and very friendly. He did an excellent job and I will definitely use Carter's Carpet again. Thank you!

Carter's did a great job re-stretching our carpet. After several years we ended up with a pretty good ripple in our master bedroom carpet. Carter's technicians came out and were able to work around our heavy bedroom furniture without moving the bed. The carpet looks great, very happy.
Cleatta Simpson
I've used Carter's Carpet for a number of years. They never disappoint!
