This Old Grout & Stone believes in the value of training.  We also fundamentally believe in not just doing things...but doing things better!.  The companies trainers bring together their cumulative years of knowledge in natural stone, tile and grout restoration field to one place, The Stone House.

The Stone House is located in Tempe, Arizona and was purchased by This Old Grout & Stone for one purpose only – to give contractors a level of training unheard of in the tile, grout and natural stone restoration industry – real world hands-on experience in real world settings.

“No one else is teaching in the most obvious way the craft should be taught.  It’s the only way to properly prepare the contractor for what he or she will experience when they take on restoration jobs in the field.” explains Ken Sherman, President of This Old Grout & Stone.

Inside this 2000 square foot house you will receive training on travertine, marble, limestone, granite and many other types of stone encountered everyday in consumer’s homes.  Each room will offer different types of stone with a different set of challenges to overcome.

You will learn the most advanced techniques of restoration and polishing available today.  Every aspect of the job will be taught to prepare you for the moment you enter a real customer’s home.  From bidding, site identification, preparation, restoration and finishing – you will be confident to take on most any stone, tile or grout job with the knowledge you receive- and get paid for it!

“Over the years, we’ve all receive the same training from various companies – standing around in a group watching one individual move a floor machine on an open floor.  None of that prepares you for a real career in stone and tile restoration”, notes Bruce Perkins, Chief Trainer of The Stone House.

There is no other facility to learn in that compares with The Stone House.  There is no other group of individuals that will provide you with the total level of information needed to be successful in the natural stone, tile and grout restoration industry.

Simply stated, there is only one place to come,
