Cleaning
Our natural stone cleaning services remove deep-set dirt, grime, and stains while preserving the integrity of marble, granite, travertine, and limestone surfaces. Using pH-neutral solutions and advanced extraction tools, we restore original luster without damaging porous materials. Each project includes a thorough assessment to determine the optimal cleaning approach for long-lasting results.
Restoration
We specialize in comprehensive stone restoration that addresses scratches, etching, and wear through diamond grinding and surface refinement. Our process combines cleaning, resurfacing, and sealing to revive aged stone floors and countertops. With attention to detail, we match restoration techniques to each stone type's unique properties for optimal durability and appearance.
Polishing
Our polishing services utilize diamond abrasives to create glossy or satin finishes on marble, granite, and travertine surfaces. This process eliminates surface imperfections while enhancing natural veining and coloration. We apply protective sealants after polishing to maintain shine and resist future wear in high-traffic areas.
Sealing
We apply premium sealants that create invisible barriers against moisture and stains for porous stones like marble and limestone. Our sand-fortified formulas provide lasting protection in kitchens and bathrooms while maintaining natural aesthetics. Technicians perform water absorption tests to determine resealing needs during routine maintenance visits.
Honing
Our honing process smooths stone surfaces to remove scratches and etching while achieving a non-reflective finish. This technique works particularly well for restoring worn marble and travertine floors to a sophisticated, low-sheen appearance. We follow honing with appropriate sealing to protect the refined surface texture.
Questions
Can I use Clorox bleach on natural stone?
Clorox bleach and other harsh chemicals can damage natural stone surfaces. We recommend using pH-neutral cleaners specifically formulated for stone care to prevent etching and discoloration.
Is steam cleaning safe for natural stone?
Yes, professional steam cleaning effectively removes deep stains and bacteria from stone surfaces without causing damage when performed by experienced technicians using appropriate equipment settings.
How often should natural stone be sealed?
Most natural stone surfaces require sealing every 1-3 years depending on porosity and usage. High-traffic areas like kitchen countertops may need more frequent protection to maintain stain resistance.
Does vinegar damage stone floors?
While vinegar can clean some stone surfaces, its acidity may etch calcite-based stones like marble and limestone. We recommend using stone-specific cleaners to ensure long-term surface protection.
How do I maintain polished stone floors?
Regular cleaning with pH-neutral solutions, immediate spill cleanup, and periodic professional maintenance help preserve polished stone surfaces. Avoid abrasive tools that could scratch delicate finishes.
Can honed stone be polished?
Yes, honed surfaces can be polished to achieve glossy finishes through diamond abrasion techniques. This process requires professional expertise to maintain stone integrity while transforming surface texture.

Very informative about marble care. I learned what to do and what NOT to do to take care of marble countertops and floors. The formerly etched and water ringed counters look so much better now with the matte finish. Service: Countertops

My travertine floors were orange and dirty. They cleaned and honed them and they look so much more modern now. I highly recommend them! Saved thousands not replacing them. Will continue to use them in the future. Service: Repair flooring

Jarrett and Mark did a great job in our house. They revived our marble kitchen island. They fixed a pitted marble bathroom counter and made the marble floor look like new. We would highly recommend them and will use them again in the future.

Mark and Jarred were a pleasure to work with. They were prompt and knowledgeable. They were able to match my marble coffee table to my marble dining table!

Jarret and Mark were great! I had a challenging job. They stripped a weird sealer off my travertine, then they cleaned, sealed, polished and repaired some holes. Now every time I walk into the kitchen or family room I think there's water on the floor because it's so shiny. Scheduling and communication with Jarret was easy and straightforward. I will have them clean my stone every couple years. It makes such a huge difference. I would highly recommend them.

Had a sealer taken off our travertine floors, Jarrett and Mark did a fantastic job. They cleaned and polished the floors after getting the sealer off and now they shine even more and look like new. Would definitely recommend this company they were a pleasure to work with, and would definitely use again. Service: Flooring
