The Increasing Demand for Natural Stone Countertops Provides Great Opportunities for a Sir Grout Franchise

According to a US forecast made by the Freedonia Group, the demand for countertops in the US will increase 4.2% annually to 810 million square feet in 2019. Among the preferred materials for countertops, laminates will maintain their leading position. However, natural stone countertops will increase 19.1%, reaching one-fifth of the market share (154,710,000 square feet). Due to the drop in granite prices, high-end homes and businesses will choose granite and other natural stones such as, marble. With numbers like that, investing in a hard surface restoration franchise seems very promising.

As a result of the market growth in natural stone countertops, propelled by a rebound in new building construction activity and an increase in the expenses to improve and repair existing structures, natural stone countertops will become more popular over the years, offering excellent opportunities in the hard surface industry. Hard surfaces will always need maintenance, cleaning, honing, and polishing to keep them looking shiny, clean, and smooth. Therefore, investing in a hard surface restoration franchise like Sir Grout seems like an outstanding opportunity.

Owning a Sir Grout franchise is like owning five franchises for the price of one since it specializes in tile and grout restoration, stone restoration, no sanding wood restoration, slip-resistant applications, and decorative concrete coating service. This means franchise owners will have multiple revenue streams.

What makes Sir Grout a great opportunity is that it follows construction trends. The demand for natural stone countertops will increase over the years, and Sir Grout has plenty of services to satisfy the needs of homeowners with natural stone countertops. Among the services that Sir Grout offers to keep countertops looking pristine are the following:

1. Stone Countertop Sealing

In regular homes, spills occur on a daily basis; this can cause lots of damage to natural stones. If the spill is from acidic substances like lemon juice, or if the homeowner cleans the countertops with acidic solutions, it will leave unattractive etch marks or stains. Sealed countertops provide a stronger barrier that will protect countertops against stains.







After laminates, the preferred materials for countertops are granite and marble. Sir Grout's granite honing and polishing services will restore granite countertops, vanity tops, and even floors to make them look like new.



2. Stone Honing and Polishing

For instance, marble has become one of the most popular choices for countertops. It offers elegance and style for homeowners who want an upscale look in their property. However, as any other natural stone, it requires proper maintenance. Its porous composition makes it prone to damages and in time it will etch, scratch, stain, and discolor. Sir Grout's advanced processes can restore marble countertops, vanity tops, and floors to their freshly installed condition.






There are also other stone services offered by Sir Grout, such as stone cleaning and sealing, stone cleaning and color enhancement, slip-resistant applications, travertine honing and polishing, and slate cleaning and sealing.
