General Manager, Mike Brown
Mike Brown's passion for the tile business began at a young age. At just 12, he spent his summers working alongside his father, learning the fundamentals by doing basic chores like handing over tools and hauling boxes of tile. Even during elementary school, Mike was already helping, and his responsibilities steadily grew.
By middle and high school, he had moved beyond the basics—learning to make precision tile cuts, crafting intricate designs, and developing a specialty in custom stone renovation and installation. His progression in the field mirrored his growth as a student-athlete, where he served as the captain of his club's national travel soccer team and led his high school team for all four years. Leadership, discipline, and teamwork became second nature—both on and off the field.
With over 40 years in the industry, Mike's father served as a mentor and role model, instilling in Mike the importance of family, craftsmanship, and building a lasting reputation. Working in the family business was never just a job—it was a calling.
Upon graduation, Mike took on a full-time role in the company and quickly earned a promotion to Foreman. He managed residential and commercial projects, including work in apartment complexes, law firms, and the prestigious FBI Academy in Quantico, VA. He served the DMV in various leadership roles for over two decades.
Mike honed his expertise across various materials, including marble, travertine, slate, glass, ceramic, porcelain, and plank tiles.
Today, Mike leads Sir Grout Washington D.C. with the same passion and integrity instilled in him from childhood. His mission is simple: to earn the trust of local homeowners and build long-lasting relationships grounded in professionalism and outstanding results. He believes that success starts with a strong internal culture, and he sets high standards for himself and his team, ensuring each employee thrives while mastering the art of surface restoration.
With a deep commitment to the community and a relentless drive for excellence, Mike Brown continues to raise the bar in the restoration industry across the Washington, DC, area.
