Every Mrs. Grout team is made up of women who have embraced and mastered this trade, bringing genuine care into every home they touch. This is the story of the team supporting Ocala, Sumter County, and the neighboring communities.
Hi, I’m Lisa Council. I know what it means to take deep pride in the character and comfort of a home here in our region—whether you’re maintaining a beautiful horse property in Ocala, enjoying life in a vibrant neighborhood in The Villages, or caring for a family home in Bushnell.
Our local crew is made up of hardworking tradeswomen right here in our neighborhoods. We travel straight to your driveway with fully equipped trucks. When we walk into your kitchen or bathroom, we treat your home with the same care and respect we show our own.
Lisa Council started Mrs. Grout with a neighborly mission: to give Central Florida families floors they could be proud of—clean, bright, and built to last. As a longtime realtor, she’d seen how spotless grout and tile could lift a home’s value and spirit. But after hiring a grout-sealing company for her mother’s house and watching the shine fade quickly, Lisa knew families deserved better. She rolled up her sleeves and looked for every method she could find. After plenty of trial and error, she discovered the 7-Step Process that sets Mrs. Grout apart—a system that keeps grout looking fresh for years.
In those early days, Lisa’s crew looked like most others—young guys ready to tackle tough jobs. Then Bonita walked in. A mother of grown kids and a seasoned professional looking for part-time work, she brought a quiet confidence that changed everything. Lisa worried the demanding labor might drive her away, but Bonita proved unstoppable. Her care and precision turned every job into a “WOW!” moment, and soon, clients were sending their friends to Mrs. Grout.
Bonita reminded Lisa of Rosie the Riveter—strong, steady, and proud of her craft. She showed that the real strength behind beautiful floors isn’t muscle. It’s heart, care, and pride in a job well done. Those qualities in Bonita, well-aligned with Lisa’s mission, became the standard at Mrs. Grout, and we encourage them in every woman who has joined the team since.
Today, Mrs. Grout is women-owned, women-led, and powered by teams who treat every home like their own. With Mrs. Grout headquartered in Brooksville, Lisa carries the same spirit with her as when she first began the business, as well as the belief that the best person for this job has always been a woman who cares.
When we step across your threshold, we treat your living space with the exact same respect and meticulous care we show our own homes.
