The Wellington Chamber of Commerce Proudly Welcomes
Grout Works of South Florida As A New Member
The Wellington Chamber of Commerce is pleased to announce that Grout Works of South Florida has become a new member. The business is owned and operated by Robert and MiMi Pastor who reside in
Loxahatchee, Florida. They opened their doors in June 2012, however, neither one is a novice to the industry. Robert has 30 years experience in the flooring business and MiMi has 24 years experience operating her own interior design company.
Robert was born in Miami, Florida and lived in various places along the east coast. He settled into the West Palm Beach area about 15 years ago. MiMi was born and raised in New Orleans, Louisiana. She moved to Greenville, South Carolina July 2005 – six weeks before Hurricane Katrina devastated the area. MiMi and her daughter are equestrians and would come to ride and compete in Wellington, Florida in the Winter Equestrian Festivals. They participated in Hunter/Jumper Competitions. Along the way, Robert and MiMi met and got married. MiMi moved to this area to live with Robert in June 2011.
Robert and MiMi were introduced to Grout Works through Mimi’s brother who owns the Caribbean division and her nephew who owns the New Orleans, Louisiana division. They purchased the Palm Beach County division and intend on expanding to St. Lucie, Broward, and Dade Counties in the near future.
Grout Works of South Florida is a service that cleans and protects the grout used in flooring. They service all types of flooring and materials including indoors, outdoors, and commercial. When they arrive at a location, they start by washing and cleaning the area with a detergent and acid solution. They get the grout soft so “the pores of the grout are opened up.” Once everything is thoroughly clean and absorbent, they add a patented, one of a kind color sealer. They have a large selection of colors to choose from in order to match an original shade or create a new one.
It should be noted that unlike other companies who offer a similar service, the sealant Grout Works of South Florida uses does not simply dry on the surface of the floor; it seeps into the grout and seals it so that it cannot be stained. They back this statement up with the fact that the chemical they use was developed by a Dupont engineer in 1994 and patented. In addition, they provide a 10 year warranty that their product will do what they say it will do.
When asked what message she would like to share with the community, MiMi said, “I want the community to know that we are a nationwide company; we’re not just a fly by night small mom and pop company. We stand behind our service with a patented product and a 10 year warranty. That’s what sets us apart from everyone else.”
