Tempe tile takes rental turnover, student traffic, and entries that open straight onto a walkway. Here is what cleaning it costs, by the square foot, from South Tempe and Warner Ranch to The Lakes.
A price a landlord can plan around. The rate per square foot is on this page, so a property manager can price a turnover from the floor plan before the keys come back.
Getting out what mopping left behind. In rentals, tile often goes through several tenants without a deep cleaning, and soil builds under the surface of the grout each time. Dwell time, agitation in the line, and extraction pull it back out.
An honest call on set-in staining. When discoloration has set across several tenancies, another cleaning will not fix it. We tell you so, and the color seal price sits right next to the cleaning price.
Homes in South Tempe and Warner Ranch that are not rentals get the same process and the same rate.
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: a rental that turns over often, since a clear seal slows how fast the next tenant's soil works into the grout. Also condo entries where outdoor grit comes straight through the door.
Not worth it: grout sealed recently that still beads water, dark grout in a low traffic room, or a unit about to get new flooring.
Color seal instead: grout that darkened unevenly over multiple tenancies and stayed that way after cleaning. Color sealing gives the unit one uniform grout color again and carries a one year guarantee on floors.
5.0 on Google, on rentals and family homes alike.
For a condo or apartment, the tile is usually the kitchen, the entry, and the bath, which often comes in under the $300 minimum on its own. For a South Tempe house, the kitchen, hallways, and baths are a bigger number but still well short of the home's total square footage.
Measure each tiled room and add them up. If you manage several units, doing the same for each one gives you a turnover budget before the first one is empty.
Cleaning and clear seal at the online rate. Color seal is not discounted. The $300 tile minimum counts once per visit.
At the regular rate the turnover is $600 clean or $900 with a clear seal. The $500 color sealed kitchen also sits right at the color seal visit minimum, so more grout added to it only adds its own square footage.
Total tile. One unit or one house, measured.
The option. Clean, clear seal, or color seal.
Damaged grout. Cracked or missing grout around a rental entry or tub gets repaired before any sealer, from $150, priced once we see it. You hear about it before work starts.
Not a factor: whether it is a rental, how many tenants it has been through, or how rough the kitchen looks at move-out.
Rental showers in Tempe often carry years of soap film and mineral layered together. Some of that has bonded into the grout and glaze and will not come off. Razor blades scratch and chip, and acid cleaners etch any stone in the bathroom, so neither is part of how we work.
We use the right product with enough dwell time, remove what is removable, and tell you plainly what stayed. Shower prices come from a photo, which is easy to get from a tenant or a property manager.
Saltillo is unglazed clay, and it relies on its sealer for both looks and protection. If a Tempe saltillo floor has an old coat that has clouded or yellowed, the only real fix is stripping it before resealing.
Strip, clean, and reseal is $4.50 a square foot with a $500 minimum. Day one strips, neutralizes, and rinses, then the clay has to dry all the way, because sealing damp saltillo turns it white. Sealer goes on the second day.
For a quicker turnaround, clean it at the regular tile rate or clean it with a fresh coat on top for $2.75 a square foot. Both look better, neither fixes clouded sealer, and we will tell you which you are dealing with.

$0.85 a square foot online to clean, $1 regular. Adding a clear seal makes it $1.27 online or $1.50 regular. Color sealing is $2.50 to $3.25 and not discounted. Tile visits have a $300 minimum, or $500 with color sealing.
Yes. We can coordinate multiple units and send one invoice rather than one per property. The best window is after the unit is empty and before the next tenant moves in.
If the unit turns over often, usually yes. It slows how fast the next tenant's soil works into the grout, so the floor holds up longer between turnovers.
Yes. Add the carpeted rooms in the quote tool and the whole turnover becomes one quote and one appointment.
From a photo. Have the tenant or manager text one to (480) 389-8415 with the buildup visible, and we send a price back.
It gets repaired first, from $150, before any sealing, since sealer will not hold on cracked grout. We do not do caulking, so a failed caulk line is a separate trade.
No. The square footage and the option you chose are the price. If we find grout that needs repair, you know before we start.
