Meet Ryan Terriquez: From the Army to Business Owner
Ryan didn't come from tile and grout. He came from two careers that demand precision and accountability.
What the Army taught him
In the Army, Ryan learned to lead, to own his results, and to perform when the pressure was on. Those habits carry straight into running a business. When a schedule gets tight or a job gets complicated, you fall back on your training. Ryan's training is solid.
What machining taught him
As a machinist, Ryan worked in a field where a fraction of an inch matters. That kind of work builds a real eye for detail and a lot of pride in the finished product. In grout and tile restoration, that same eye is what separates an okay job from one a homeowner brags about to their neighbors.
Why he chose to own a business
Ryan put it simply. He wanted to build something of his own while giving people an honest, valuable service that helps them improve their homes. Most of all, he's doing it for his family.
"More than anything, I'm building this business to create a better future for my family and leave a lasting legacy through hard work, integrity, and exceptional service." — Ryan Terriquez, owner, Sir Grout of Murrieta
Why Veterans Make Strong Franchise Owners
Franchising and military service have a lot in common. Both run on a proven system, clear standards, and a team that has your back. That's why so many veterans find a natural fit in franchise ownership.
You already know how to follow a system
A franchise gives you a playbook: how to do the work, how to market, how to run the numbers. Veterans are used to learning a process and executing it well. That's a big head start.
You know how to lead a team
As your business grows, you'll hire and train technicians. Leading people, setting expectations, and holding the line on quality are skills many veterans bring on day one.
You stay steady under pressure
Every new business has busy weeks, tough customers, and surprises. Owners who stay calm and keep solving problems are the ones who build something that lasts.
You're not doing it alone
Owning a franchise means you're in business for yourself, but not by yourself. You get training, support, and a network of other owners who've been where you are. For a lot of veterans, that sense of team is what makes franchising feel right.
What Sir Grout Does (and Why Murrieta Is a Great Fit)
Sir Grout specializes in restoring hard surfaces so homeowners don't have to rip out and replace them. That includes cleaning, sealing, and color-sealing grout, restoring tile, and caring for natural stone. Instead of an expensive remodel, customers get floors, showers, and countertops that look new again for a fraction of the cost.
It's a simple pitch customers understand right away, and it's work you can see. Before and after photos sell the job for you.
Why Murrieta
Murrieta sits in southwest Riverside County, in a region full of families and established neighborhoods. Lots of homes there have tile floors, tiled showers, and stone surfaces that need regular care.
What Makes a Great Sir Grout Owner?
We're not looking for people who already know everything about tile and grout. We teach that. We're looking for people who bring the right mindset. Ryan is a great example of what that looks like:
- You care how the finished job looks. Details matter in this business, and customers notice.
- You treat people right. Honest pricing and clear communication turn first-time customers into repeat customers and referrals.
- You're willing to put in the work. The early months take hustle. Owners who show up consistently build momentum.
- You want something of your own. The best owners aren't just buying a job. They're building a future.
