Signs Your Stone Needs Restoration

Restoration is for stone that needs more than a cleaning. Common signs:

  • Heavy dullness and wear. The whole floor looks tired, not just a spot or two.
  • Etching and scratches throughout. Years of spills and grit have taken the finish off.
  • Stains in the stone. Oil, water, and other stains have soaked in.
  • Open holes and pits. Travertine holes open up over time and collect dirt.
  • Dirty, stained grout. Grout lines and stone no longer look like one surface.
  • Old coatings. Wax or topical sealer has built up and yellowed.

Our Stone Restoration Process

  1. Detailed inspection. We identify the stone, map the problems, and recommend the steps your floor or counter actually needs.
  2. Preparation. We protect walls, cabinets, and adjoining surfaces. Our technicians can move small, light furniture. We don’t move heavy or fragile items, so please clear those before we arrive.
  3. Deep cleaning and stripping. We remove dirt and, when present, old coatings through tile stripping.
  4. Stain treatment and filling. We treat stains and can fill open holes in travertine and small chips.
  5. Honing. We remove etching, scratches, and wear with stone honing.
  6. Polishing. We bring the stone to the finish you choose, from satin to shine, with stone polishing.
  7. Sealing. We seal the stone and grout. If we seal, allow 24 to 48 hours for the sealer to cure before normal use and mopping.

Aftercare for Restored Stone

  • Let the sealer cure. Allow 24 to 48 hours before normal use and mopping.
  • Clean with a pH-neutral stone cleaner. Vinegar, bleach, and acidic cleaners undo restoration work.
  • Use mats and felt pads. They keep grit and furniture from scratching the surface.
  • Clean spills right away. Especially wine, coffee, citrus, and oil.

How long results last depends on foot traffic, sealing, and daily care.
