Common Stone and Tile Problems We Skillfully Resolve

Marble: Revitalize That Gorgeous Mirror-Like Finish

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

Travertine: Eradicate Unattractive Pits and Holes

Travertine is notorious for its small pits that trap dirt and grime. We perform an extensive deep-clean, replace any missing fillers, and seal the surface with a breathable protector that maintains its warm, honey-colored hues while keeping dirt at bay.

Limestone: Transform Etched Surfaces into Refined Finishes

Spills from wine or acidic juices can cause unsightly etching on limestone. We expertly hone away these flaws, smooth out uneven edges, and finish with your choice of a soft sheen or silky matte to restore its timeless elegance.

Terrazzo: Combining Durability with Stunning Aesthetics

Although terrazzo is celebrated for its durability, it can lose its luster under the weight of groceries and high heels. Our multi-step polishing procedure revitalizes the surface and applies a protective stain-guard sealer, ensuring that spills can be effortlessly wiped away.

Sandstone: Comprehensive Cleaning for Hidden Areas

With the use of rotary brushes, we effectively remove dirt trapped within the grains of sandstone, while pressure rinsing eliminates any residual debris. A UV-stable sealant locks out future dirt while allowing the stone to breathe naturally.

Slate: Achieve Stunning Beauty Without Dust

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

Terracotta: Rustic Charm with Dependable Protection

Unglazed terracotta is prone to oil absorption. 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 splatters, and remnants of carpet glue can cling stubbornly to these historic tiles. After a thorough cleaning process, we apply a color-enhancing impregnator and finish with a micro-wax to achieve a refined, low sheen.

Quarry Tiles: Refreshing Kitchen Classics

Sturdy red quarry tiles might seem hopelessly dirty, but beneath the grime lies their inherent charm. Our alkaline degreasers, hot rinses, and breathable sealers work harmoniously to reveal the rich terracotta tones.

Porcelain: Stain-Resistant Yet Vulnerable

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

Ceramic & Grout: Quick Solutions for Everyday Shine

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

The Art of Restoration—A Behind-the-Scenes Look

1. Thorough Inspection & Testing
   We carefully apply various solutions to inconspicuous areas of your flooring, monitoring their reactions to prevent any surprises during the restoration process.

2. Grinding & Honing Techniques
   Consider this process akin to exfoliation for stone surfaces. Coarse diamond tools level any lippage, finer grits remove 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 while benefiting from high-performance sealers.

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

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 Queries Addressed: Understanding Our Services

Q: How long will my space be unavailable 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 areas or significant grinding may require an additional day.

Q: Is the cleaning process dusty?
Our advanced machines utilize continuous water feed and vacuum extraction, significantly reducing dust levels compared to those typically produced 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 undetectable unless you know precisely where to look.

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

Q: Will I need to move furniture before your arrival?
It’s helpful if you can relocate small items such as rugs, chairs, and potted plants beforehand. We are more than happy to carefully slide larger items 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. When you remove the dirt, you uncover the cherished chapter of your floor—the dazzling veins, the warm hues, and the reflections that enhance the atmosphere of your home.
