The following are the restoration services we offer and what they entail :
Stone Fabrication :
Stone fabrication involves the planning stage, where we help in picking the type of stone to be installed. The area would then be measured and prepared for installation. Finally our installers lay the stone and adhere it to the surface.
Hole and Crack Repair :
The severity of the hole or crack that needs repair will determine the best mode of renovation. In some cases honing is the best solution, other times the cracks are so deep that alternative measures of repair must be taken.
Grinding :
To remove deep scratches and remove lippage (uneven tile edges).
Done by machine with diamond abrasive pads and water that creates no dust.
Honing :
To remove minor scratches and wear from everyday foot traffic. This process is also done by machine with diamond abrasive pads and water that creates no dust.
Polishing :
To give marble or stone the sheen you want, enhance the veining in marble and to protect the marble or stone from everyday traffic and spills. (Utilizing the same compounds that are used in the fabrication process).
Cleaning :
To remove dirt stains and bacteria and to remove waxes and polymers that have become embedded.
Sealing :
To protect and preserve natural stone. (Using penetrating sealers/ impregnators).
Color Enhancing :
The use of penetrating sealers/ impregnators formulated to enhance or enrich the color of your stone.
Stripping :
To remove coating that block stone’s ability to breathe which causes spalling (when the stones crack, pop and shale). Some examples of common coatings are crystallization, janitorial waxes, polyurethane etc.
Grout cleaning and sealing :
Dirt loves to hide in grout. Brushes cannot penetrate into the micro pores to get all of the contaminants out. We use a patented system to clean your grout to like new and then we seal it to facilitate easier maintenance for the long haul.
Grout Recoloring :
Changing the color of the grout for a uniform look.
