|---|---|
| Hone | Honing virtually erases dull areas on marble and limestone associated with wear patterns, scratches, etches and spots. |
| Polish | Polishing your marble or limestone using the appropriate diamond-infused pads or polishing powders is the final step of the refinishing process. Our expert technicians can achieve the exact finish you are looking for. |
| Grind (Lippage Removal) | We can grind away excess stone to create a flat, level surface if your marble or limestone tiles are uneven or if you want your tile floor flattened to the grout lines to facilitate easier cleaning. |
| Repair | Don’t replace your damaged marble or limestone! Chips, cracks, and broken tiles can be repaired using filler and specialized equipment. We can hone and polish to match the repair site with the existing finish. |

| Stain Removal | We’re here for you, whether you are seeking guidance on how to remove marble or limestone stains and discolorations yourself or you want us to treat them. |
| Clean and Seal | The more porous your marble or limestone is, the more susceptible it will be to staining. We professionally deep clean using non-acidic, highly-effective cleaning solutions, followed by an application of high quality sealer, if needed. |
| Maintenance | Regularly scheduled maintenance is customized per your specific needs and requirements. |
Popular Questions
What does marble and limestone restoration cost?
Unlike many other services, we can’t quote a price per square foot. There are too many variables to consider. How bad is the damage? What kind of damage is there? What level of sheen are you looking for? All of these things, and more, need to be factored in to give you an accurate and fair quote. We do provide free estimates and will be happy to discuss your specific needs. Call (205) 540-4559 or contact us online for a call back.

How is professional marble and limestone cleaning different from regular cleaning?
Professional deep cleaning helps keep your floors and surfaces in top condition, minimizing wear due to contaminants or grit and grime. Regular cleaning or janitorial services are valuable for day to day care, but professional cleaning is necessary for long term care. Professional cleaning is extremely thorough, flushing away deeply embedded contaminants. When it comes to marble and limestone, refinishing may be required to achieve the look you want. We can also seal and protect kitchens, baths, outdoor living areas, and more to inhibit staining and make regular cleaning more productive. Regular cleaning and janitorial services are usually not appropriately trained or equipped to handle these types of specialized services.
Can I reseal marble or limestone myself?
Although technically it is possible to seal your own marble, it would not be advisable to do so. Anyone without the proper training and experience can expect potential problems. There are many factors involved, such as determining whether sealer is needed, selecting the appropriate product, applying the appropriate amount, allowing proper dwell time, and so on. It’s a job best left to qualified professionals.
What happens if you don't seal marble or limestone?
Once your marble or limestone is cleaned and restored, we may recommend you have us seal it to enhance its stain resistance. We say, “May” because not all stone needs to be sealed. Highly polished stone may not even take an impregnating sealer. But, if sealing is recommended, know that sealing represents an inexpensive, preventative measure against stain damage, because it buys you time to wipe up spills before they become stains.
