We can clean your stone

In most cases, the first step we take is to clean the stone. We use a pressure washing equipment adjusted to the right temperature and pressure for the specific surface we’re working with. This cleaning process can get rid of residue from other surface treatments, dirt, mildew, algae, and other debris that’s preventing your stone from looking its best.

We can remove stains

You may be surprised to learn that some spots you thought were just water marks or dirt are actually stain. Once your stones are thoroughly clean, it’s easier to see what’s a stain and what’s not. We have several methods for cleaning stains, depending on the type and severity of the stain. Some options include lifting them out of the stone with specialized products or using diamond abrasive compounds to buff them out.

We can repair cracks and chips

No matter how serious the imperfections are, whether they’re simple surface issues are more significant cracks and chips, our experienced techs are here to help. Once again, the right treatment varies based on the type of stain and what needs to be repaired. Some options include polishing the stone or using a high-quality epoxy tinted to exactly match your stone.
