Marble is Elegance and Class
These stones are considered softer and porous in nature. They are susceptible to etching when something acidic comes in contact. Naturally occurring acids such as Citrus Fruits (lemons, limes, and oranges) may etch the stone causing a cloud or watermark type spot. The use of Acidic Cleaning Solutions are also a big cause of dullness and marking.
Our 5 step Renewal Process is designed to restore your stone back to its natural beauty.
Step #1 Consultation / Evaluation
First, we inspect your stone to determine the type of stone. We will inspect the wear patterns and damage on the stone. After reviewing this data we will diagnosis the problem and develop a plan to restore your stone and determine if your stone should be sealed.
Step #2 Trainec
Our Technicians are highly train and have been certified in Stone Restoration. We use state-of the-art equipment and materials to restore your stone surface to its original beauty. All work is completed in a professional and timely manner.
Step #3 Sealer Protection
Many stones are susceptible to stains from coffee, soft drinks, soiling from normal foot traffic, oils and many other things. It can be protected against these stains by the use of an impregnator more commonly known as a sealer. Sealer is an integral part of an ongoing, proactive stone care program. We use only the best sealers available on the market. Sealers facilitate an easier, cost effective maintenance program for natural stone by offering long term protection against stains and dirt penetration. Although Sealers protect against staining they do not protect against etching.
Step #4 Daily Maintenance Training
Most people use what they consider to be “safe” techniques and cleaning products on their stone to care for it on a daily basis. What may be safe for tile or ceramic, can be damaging to marble, limestone and other natural stone. After we restore your stone surface to its original beauty, we will educate you or your cleaning people on how to maintain a restored appearance on a routine basis.
Step #5 Periodic Follow-Up Restoration
Even after stone has been restored and sealed, its new beautiful appearance is not permanent. Proper daily care will greatly extend the beautiful appearance, but on-going foot-traffic and other factors will always be wearing away at the bright, clean appearance. A periodic maintenance program will mean additional expense, but it will ensure and prevent the need for a complete restoration in the future. After restoration we can design a periodic restoration schedule. The frequency will be determined by both the needs of your specific stone and the appearance level that you would like to maintain.
