Tile Cleaning

By
Real Estate Agent with eXp Realty of California, Inc. (lic. #01878277) DRE# 00949880

Our house goes on the market in about two weeks and one of our big projects to get accomplished before putting it on the market was getting our pool tile cleaned. 

We have some very hard water in Elk Grove.  Believe it or not, the build up on our tiles happened in just two years.  The tile is only two years old!  We did try to maintain it.  We purchased pumice stones and rubbed until we only had little nubs left.  It helped, but only by about 50%.  I didn't think there was much I could do, but a friend recommended Hess Tile Cleaning to me. 

They drained about 6 inches of water from the pool and then blasted the calcium deposits off the tile with little glass beads.  It is pretty amazing how well the process works.

Hess Tile Cleaning in Action

David Nieves and Austin Hess did all the work. They were a pleasure to have at the house and did a fantastic job. They made sure to clean up around the pool very well after all the tile was cleaned. They also removed most of the glass beads out of the pool to re-use on their next project. The filtration system cleaned the rest of the beads out of the pool in the next day or two. The cleaned tile looks great. I think it looks brand new again.

The Completed Project

If you ever need the tile around your pool cleaned in Elk Grove, call Tom.

That is a really cool process. I would have loved to have watched a longer video of Tom working his magic. The tile looks great again! Thanks for the information.

Hi J.R. Schloemer, CRS.  I probably should have gone a bit longer, but with these YouTube Shorts, the music only goes 15 seconds and it seems kind of awkward to have the music go off and the video continue.  I wish they would change it to one minute.  Thank you for taking the time to stop by and comment.

Good morning Ray - I know how frustating hard water is.  We have it.  I wreaks having on the boiler of our heating system.

Hello Raymond - a terrific testimonial.  Sometimes a cleaning project for a particular issue demands a professional.  Obviously, Hess Tile Cleaning did a thorough job.  Good luck in advance with your other efforts as your home hits the market for sale soon.  The countdown continues.

Good morning, Ray... this was an interesting read even though I don't have a pool, tiled or otherwise! I recently had my tile bathroom floors professionally cleaned... they put a solution on the floor, let it set, washed it off and all was perfect!

Wow, that looks great!  That company certainly knows what they are doing and every pool owner in the area should have their number.

Ray, have to say, that looks like a lot of maintenance to have a pool, but sure it will look good when you are done.

Good morning, Grant Schneider.  At our last house, I acid etched and stained our backyard patio and nice, deep brown color.  It was beautiful until the yard sprinklers came on and left white stains everywhere.  You would think I would learn and choose light colors, but it seems like I am a glutton for punishment!

Thank you very much, Michael Jacobs.  We have put a lot of work into this house.  I need to write a post about it sometime.  It is the most unique purchase story of any house that I have purchased.

Good morning, Kat Palmiotti.  We are moving to Goodyear, AZ.  We were on the fence about moving there and then we met Brian England.  We decided that if it was good enough for Brian, than it was good enough for us. 😃

Do they make California house calls, Nina Hollander, Broker.  🙃 It is good to know anyone that can make tile look good again.

Raymond Henson, eXp Realty hi Ray... I know my guy would go to South Carolina... California, not so much. He did an amazing job cleaning my tile and hardwood floors.

And they were so nice, Brian England.  Our little Russel was fascinated by the process and the two guys in space suites.  They treated Russel like gold.

It is a lot of maintenance, Joan Cox, especially since we purchase a house with an old pool.  We have had to replace the plaster, the tile, the heater, the sweeper (twice) and one of the pumps.  My wife says she is done with pools, but I think we will need one in Arizona.  Of course, with 1.1 vote to my 1 vote, MM will win this one too!

This is great! I also like the fact that you get payed by being at the pool. Really cool job for those who are detailed oriented and have the patience to remove the build-up.

Hi Norbert Fabre, MRSA.  They did look liked they enjoyed working in the pool.  They sure did a good job and made the pool look really nice so it will show well tomorrow when we put our home on the market.
