Common Stone and Tile Issues We Expertly Address

Marble: Revitalize That Gorgeous Mirror-Like Finish

Frequent foot traffic can result in micro-scratches that dull the natural brilliance of marble. Our diamond grinding technique effectively eliminates lippage, levels grout, and polishes the surface to beautifully reflect light, restoring its original radiance.

Travertine: Erase Grimy Pits and Holes

Travertine is notorious for its small pits that trap dirt and grime. We perform a thorough deep cleaning, replace any missing fillers, and seal the surface with a breathable protector to maintain its warm, honey hues while keeping dirt at bay.

Limestone: Transform Etched Surfaces into Elegant Finishes

Spills from wine or citrus juices can lead to unsightly acid etching on limestone. We skillfully hone away these blemishes, smooth out uneven edges, and finish with your choice of a soft sheen or silky matte to restore its timeless beauty.

Terrazzo: Durable Yet Beautiful

While terrazzo is recognized for its durability, it can lose its shine under the pressure of groceries and high heels. Our multi-step polishing process rejuvenates the surface and applies a protective stain-guard sealer, guaranteeing that spills can be easily wiped away.

Sandstone: Thorough Cleaning for Hidden Areas

Using rotary brushes, we effectively eliminate dirt from between the grains of sandstone, while pressure rinsing clears away any residual debris. A UV-stable sealant locks out future dirt while allowing the stone to breathe naturally.

Slate: Achieve Striking Beauty Without Dust

Cleft slate’s natural grooves can collect dust over time. We carefully strip away old coatings, scrub the textured surfaces, and finish with an enhancer that beautifully highlights the color variations.

Terracotta: Rustic Charm with Trusted Protection

Unglazed terracotta tends to absorb oil readily. We systematically strip, neutralize, and dry the surface before applying a durable, natural-looking seal to protect its rustic allure.

Victorian & Edwardian Tiles: Preserving Heritage with Precision

Old wax, paint specks, and remnants of carpet glue can cling to these historic tiles. After a thorough cleaning process, we apply a color-boosting impregnator and finish with a micro-wax to achieve a refined, low sheen.

Quarry Tiles: Revitalizing Classic Kitchen Surfaces

Sturdy red quarry tiles may appear hopelessly dirty, but beneath the grime lies their inherent beauty. Our alkaline degreasers, hot rinses, and breathable sealers work together to reveal the rich terracotta tones.

Porcelain: Stain-Resistant but Not Invulnerable

Affordable porcelain can trap dirt within its microscopic pores, leading to a dull appearance. We use specialized pads to dislodge the grey haze and apply a nano-sealer to prevent future staining.

Ceramic & Grout: Quick Solutions for Everyday Shine

Glazed ceramic tiles are easy to clean, yet grout lines often darken first. We utilize steam cleaning to refresh the grout, apply a clear stain-blocker, and revitalize your kitchen to its former glory.

The Art of Restoration—An Inside Look at Our Process

1. Thorough Inspection & Testing
   We meticulously apply various solutions to inconspicuous areas of your floor, observing their reactions to ensure no surprises arise during the restoration process.

2. Grinding & Honing Techniques
   Think of this process as exfoliation for stone surfaces. Coarse diamond tools flatten any lippage, finer grits eliminate scratches, and ultra-fine pads create a luxuriously smooth finish.

3. Precision Polishing or Sealing
   Hard stones like marble, granite, and terrazzo can be polished to achieve a natural gloss, while softer or textured stones such as travertine and slate maintain a matte finish but gain protection through high-performance sealers.

4. Meticulous Detailing for Flawless Results
   For cracks and chips, we use color-matched resin fillers on-site. Missing grout is seamlessly blended with new lines to match the original shade. We ensure edges are expertly buffed, skirting boards are wiped clean, and furniture is carefully repositioned.

5. Comprehensive After-Care Kit Provided
   You will receive a bottle of pH-neutral cleaner, a microfiber pad, and quick care tips: avoid bleach or vinegar, and instead, take a moment to admire your beautifully restored floors.

Your Questions Answered: Gain Clarity on Our Services

Q: How long will my space be out of use during the cleaning process?
Most kitchens and hallways can be ready for light foot traffic within four hours, and you can wear shoes the following morning. Larger spaces or significant grinding may require an additional day.

Q: Is the cleaning process dusty?
Our advanced machines utilize continuous water feed and vacuum extraction, keeping dust levels significantly lower than those typically encountered in DIY sanding projects.

Q: Can you repair deep chips or cracks in the stone?
Absolutely. We color-match resin fillers on-site, and after polishing, the repairs become virtually invisible unless you know exactly where to look.

Q: How frequently should sealing or polishing be repeated?
High-traffic commercial floors may require annual touch-ups, while residential areas typically maintain their shine for three to five years before needing a brief maintenance visit.

Q: Will I need to move furniture prior to your arrival?
It’s beneficial if you can move smaller items like rugs, chairs, and potted plants in advance. We are happy to carefully slide larger pieces and place felt pads under their legs before returning them to their original spots.

Every stone has a story to tell, with each mark and layer of grime revealing a rich history. By removing the dirt, you unveil the cherished narrative of your floor—the stunning veins, the warm colors, and the reflections that enhance the atmosphere of your home.
