Natural Stone Care

We offer cleaning, honing, polishing and sealing of most stone floors including travertine, limestone, marble, slate, and more. The following procedures will help us bring your floor back to its original condition.

Pre-Inspection

All natural stone cleaning and restoration as well as sealing jobs must be preceded by a thorough pre-inspection. Here we determine a customized care plan to meet your specific needs for your specific floor.

Preparation

Because your home is important to you it is important to us. We will take the necessary precautions to protect all areas surrounding your floors and ours is a dust free process.

Honing

Stone is mechanically resurfaced using diamond abrasives and water to achieve a uniformly honed surface sheen. This process removes walking patterns and all but the deepest scratches and etch marks.

Polishing

Stone is mechanically finished to produce a high gloss shine. Very light etches, scuffs and scratches may be removed with the polishing process, but more resurfacing would be needed to remove medium etches and scratches.

Cleaning

Cleaning processes will vary from floor to floor but will generally involve applying the proper cleaning agents, machine or hand scrubbed and brushed, and rinsing with clear water.

Sealing

We apply a clear impregnating sealer to help protect the stone and make it easier to maintain. Depending on the stone type, an enhancer or high gloss protection can be applied.
