You make it look so fast and easy! What are the going rates for this type of service?
Do different types of hard countertop surfaces require more labor depending on hardness of stone? ie marble vs granite etc..
Can you use it on headstones?
Are there any products that can achieve similar typle results on man-made or manufactured (fake) granite countertops? Seems to be a lot
of that here because it looks so close to the real thing and it's a cheaper alternative.
Thanks,
Bill
It is fast and easy Bill. That's the point and the chemicals I'm using won't harm any surrounding surface. There is nothing you can do in the process that can't be corrected. If this weren't true there wouldn't be a stone restoration industry. Home owners try to ruin it all the time.
Engineered stone (i.e. Ceaser Stone, Silo Stone, etc.) is maintained and restored like granite.
Marble and travertine are much softer. While they tend to stain less than granite they scratch, wear and burn or etch very easily. Both are extremely high maintenance surfaces. Marble and travertine can be polished fairly easy both mechanically and chemically.Granite is very dense and hard. It tends to stain easier than marble and travertine but does not burn or etch and is very hard to scratch. Granite is very low maintenance. Granite is polished mechanically only.
Because Marble and travertine are soft their they become dull from acids and wear. To restore color and reflectivity they must be re-polished. As mentioned above granite does not wear or burn. It becomes dull from how it is maintained so to bring it back to its showroom look a deep clean is all that is needed.
The process works great on headstones. In fact, I have three customers that do nothing but headstones.
Let me know if you would like a sample kit for the process.
