Most Ahwatukee tile went down in the 1980s and 1990s, smaller format with more grout line per square foot. Here is what cleaning, sealing, and color sealing it costs across 85044, 85045, and 85048.
One published rate in every neighborhood. Mountain Park Ranch, Foothills Club West, Lakewood, Cabrillo Canyon, and The Foothills all price from the numbers on this page.
Work on grout with decades in it. A floor laid in the 1980s and mopped ever since holds soil below the surface that mopping never reaches. Solution with dwell time, agitation down in the line, and extraction is how it comes out.
Honesty about the result. Grout this old usually recovers a great deal but rarely returns to a uniform color. We would rather show you that on the walkthrough and talk about color sealing than clean it twice.
Foothill homes along South Mountain take a heavier fine-dust load, so entries and hallways are usually where the difference shows first.
Cleaning and clear seal are 15% off when you book online. Color seal and grout repair are not discounted.
Showers and backsplashes are quoted from a photo. Text a picture with the buildup visible to (480) 389-8415 and we will price it. Price a floor in about a minute in the quote tool.
Worth it: entries and halls that take the foothill dust off South Mountain, kitchens with lighter grout, and any floor that just came back from a deep cleaning and should stay that way.
Not worth it: grout that is still beading from a recent seal, darker grout in a room no one uses much, or a floor you are about to replace.
Color seal instead: thirty-year-old grout that cleaned up unevenly. That is a color problem, not a soil problem, and color sealing replaces it with one shade from 40+ options, guaranteed a year on floors.
5.0 on Google, and every Ahwatukee floor priced the same way.
Ahwatukee floor plans from that era often have tile in the kitchen, entry, family room, and baths, with carpet in the bedrooms. The tiled part is usually a fraction of the total home size.
Measure each tiled room, length times width, and add them. With smaller tile, color sealing lands toward the top of its range, so if you are pricing color, plan on that end.
Online rates on cleaning and clear seal. Color seal is not discounted.
At the regular rate the Lakewood floor is $1,100 cleaned or $1,650 with a clear seal.
Square footage. Measured room by room.
The option. Clean, clean and clear seal, or color seal.
Grout that is cracked or missing. On older floors this comes up, and it is repaired before any sealing, from $150 after we see it. We flag it on the walkthrough so it is never a surprise.
Not a factor: how old the house is, how dirty the grout looks, or which side of the foothills you are on.
Showers that have been in use since the 1980s or 1990s can carry decades of hard water layered into the grout. Some of it is permanent. Scraping with a blade chips glazed tile, and acid etches marble or travertine, so we leave both off the job.
We work the buildup with the right product and dwell time, take off what will come off, and show you where it ends. Shower prices come from a photo.
Saltillo is soft unglazed clay, and its appearance depends on its sealer. An older Ahwatukee saltillo floor with yellowed or cloudy sealer needs that coat stripped before resealing, since sealing over it traps the discoloration.
A strip is $4.50 a square foot with a $500 minimum and takes two days. Strip, neutralize, and rinse on day one, a full dry because sealer on damp saltillo turns white, and new sealer on day two.
Not ready to strip? A deep clean at the regular tile price, or a clean plus a fresh coat at $2.75 a square foot. Both improve it, neither reverses discolored sealer, and we tell you what we see first.

Booking online, cleaning is $0.85 a square foot and clean plus clear seal is $1.27. Regular rates are $1 and $1.50. Color sealing runs $2.50 to $3.25 and is never discounted. There is a $300 minimum on tile visits, $500 with color sealing.
Usually it comes back a long way but not uniformly. On grout this old, color sealing is often the better answer, and we will tell you on the walkthrough.
Fine foothill dust off South Mountain collects in the grout lines at the doors first. A clear seal after cleaning keeps it from settling in as easily.
Cleaning is the same rate per square foot. Color sealing lands toward the top of its range on smaller tile, because there is more grout line per square foot.

No. We clean, seal, and repair grout, not tile. If a tile is cracked or loose, we tell you before we start, since that is a tile contractor job.
