3,000 SQ FT Commercial Kitchen Restoration – Qualcomm Corporate Campus

Castle Stone + Tile was commissioned to perform an extensive tile restoration within the high-traffic corporate kitchen of a major Qualcomm facility. After years of industrial use, the grout had become porous and discolored, compromising both the aesthetics and the hygiene of the space. Working alongside City Wide Facility Solutions, our goal was to repair, regrout, and seal 3,000 square feet of tile to restore the facility to “like-new” standards while ensuring the kitchen remained compliant with corporate health and safety regulations.

• Scope: 3,000 square feet of commercial-grade floor tile.

• Grout: High-performance, stain-resistant industrial grout designed for commercial kitchen environments.

• Sealant: Professional-grade penetrating sealer to protect against oils, grease, and heavy foot traffic.

• Repair: Matching ceramic/porcelain tiles for localized structural repairs.

• Partnership: Coordination with City Wide Facility Solutions for industrial power washing and substrate preparation.

• Strategic Partnership: Efficiency was key for this large-scale project. We coordinated closely with City Wide Facility Solutions, who performed a deep industrial power wash ahead of our team. This ensured the grout joints were completely free of debris and grease, allowing for maximum grout adhesion.

• Commercial Repairs: Before regrouting, our team identified and replaced damaged tiles throughout the 3,000 sq ft footprint to ensure a level, trip-hazard-free surface.

• Precision Regrouting: We removed failing grout and replaced it with a durable, non-porous alternative specifically formulated to withstand the rigorous cleaning chemicals and high heat typical of a corporate kitchen.

• High-Traffic Sealing: The project concluded with a premium sealing application, creating an invisible barrier that prevents future staining and makes daily maintenance significantly easier for the facility’s janitorial staff.

The result is a revitalized corporate kitchen that meets the high standards of the Qualcomm campus. By choosing to regrout and seal rather than replace the entire floor, the client saved significant capital expenditure and avoided weeks of downtime. The floor is now fully restored, easier to sanitize, and aesthetically refreshed. We would like to extend a special thanks to City Wide Facility Solutions for their excellent prep work, which allowed us to deliver a seamless finish on schedule.
