Why The Grout Boss

Eric Tirado has created the ultimate franchise for grout and tile restoration that is deeply rooted in training and marketing. The marketing piece is the difference maker–but the roots of the training program and systematic approach to how the franchisee schedules and coordinates his employees has its foundation in what he learned in the military.

The military teaches you many things, but the most important things is that you need to follow a plan and execute the plan that has been provided to you. Eric believes strongly that this is your business–however you are not in business by yourself and the systems that he has put in place will help you build a home-based business that you can grow.

The scholarship is in his Honor. With this scholarship, all honorably discharged veterans will automatically qualify for our $4,000 scholarship towards their Franchise Fee. We hope that our veterans can seamlessly take the next step into entrepreneurship and continue to serve their communities.
