Home 9 Commercial 9 When to hire a stone refinishing service

As experts in stone care, we understand the reasons behind people’s love for stone. They want marble, soapstone, tile and other natural stone surfaces that are clean, easy to maintain, smooth, and attractive. Stone can be both strong and beautiful, making spaces look fresh and polished. However, it’s important to recognize that maintaining stone is an important part of a home upkeep plan and even with a material as timeless as marble or granite.

Stone care professionals are helpful in two important scenarios concerning property ownership and management. Firstly, their expertise is indispensable when it comes to updating or restoring antique, vintage, worn, or damaged stone surfaces. Secondly, after the installation of new stone surfaces, an expert can efficiently address any issues that may arise like lippage or staining. In all cases, they can also help finish the stone surfaces by apply sealing and coating solutions, ensuring the stone remains functional, practical and easy to maintain in the long term.

Hiring a Stone Restoration Pro for Antique, Vintage, Worn, or Damaged Stone Surfaces

  • Cleaning: Stone surfaces accumulate stains, mold, built-up dirt, soap residue, and more. A stone care professional effectively restores their beauty through thorough cleaning.
  • Honing: Rectify minor imperfections, scratches, and discolorations by honing or grinding the stone’s top layer with abrasive pads, resulting in a smooth, consistent surface.
  • Polishing & Shining: Achieve glossy finishes seen on marble slabs, countertops, and tiles using polishing machines and special abrasives. Choose from finishes like glossy, matte, honed, antiqued, leathered, brushed, satin, or natural, tailored to your preferences.
  • Protection: Collaborate with our professionals to determine the best protection strategies based on stone type, location, and use. We apply or install suitable solutions to minimize future maintenance needs.
  • Chip Repair: Expertly repair countertop chips to restore their appearance and functionality.

Hiring a Stone Restoration Pro After New Stone Installation

  • Lippage Correction: Address uneven tiles to ensure a flat, uniform surface through precise grinding techniques.
  • Sealing: Protect countertops with a penetrating sealer to fill stone pores and minimize staining from spills or improper cleaning.
  • Coating: Shield acid-sensitive stones with a super-thin, ultra-low visibility coating that prevents staining and acid etching. Enjoy a 10-year warranty on our proprietary product.
  • Stone Finish Alterations: Modify stone finishes to meet your preferences, whether glossy, non-glossy, honed, antiqued, leathered, brushed, satin, or natural.
