2. What is the difference between polishing and sealing?
• Polishing: This process restores the natural shine and luster of the stone by removing surface scratches and imperfections.
• Sealing: Sealing involves applying a protective layer to the stone surface to prevent stains, moisture damage, and everyday wear. While polishing enhances the stone’s appearance, sealing ensures its durability.
3. How often should I have my stone surfaces polished or sealed?
The frequency depends on the type of stone, its location, and usage. As a general guideline:
• Polishing: Every 1-3 years for high-traffic areas.
• Sealing: Every 1-2 years for kitchens and bathrooms, or sooner if the stone is exposed to heavy use or spills.
4. Can you remove scratches and stains from my stone?
Yes! Our resurfacing and restoration processes are designed to remove scratches, stains, etching, and other imperfections. For deeper damage, we may recommend a combination of repair and polishing to achieve the best results.
5. Is your process safe for my stone?
Absolutely. We use industry-leading tools, techniques, and eco-friendly products to ensure your stone is treated with care and precision. Our methods are designed to preserve the integrity of the material while enhancing its appearance.
6. Can you restore historic or antique stonework?
Yes, we have extensive experience in restoring historic and antique stonework. Whether it’s an ornate marble fireplace or century-old flooring, we use delicate yet effective methods to preserve its original character while revitalizing its beauty.
7. Do you offer maintenance plans?
Yes, we provide customized maintenance plans to keep your stone surfaces looking their best year-round. These plans include periodic cleaning, polishing, and resealing based on the specific needs of your space.
8. How long does the process take?
The duration of a project depends on the size and condition of the stone surface. Most residential projects can be completed in 1-2 days, while larger or more complex projects may take longer. We’ll provide a detailed timeline during your consultation.
9. Are your services eco-friendly?
