  • What are the advantages of granite?

    In addition to the appealing beauty of granite, it maintains its colorful beauty easily and is a durable material. According to American Granite, around 64% of new houses use granite countertops. Granite has different textures, beautiful colors, and intricate designs. Most importantly, it resists stains and scratches and is heat and moisture-resistant. Reach out today to learn more about natural stone restoration in Naples, FL or nearby areas.

  • How do I get the shine back if my granite countertops are no longer shiny?

    Most of the time when a customer asks us why their granite countertop isn't shiny anymore, it turns out that some sort of film is sitting on the surface. This happens when one doesn't use the proper cleanser or when they clean their granite surface with water and dish soap. This will eventually lead to soap film build-up. Give us a call today and we'd be happy to provide solutions for your natural stone restoration in Naples, FL or surrounding areas.

  • Why is it important to seal my stone?

    Most stone floors can benefit from sealing. The requirements of each type of stone differ. Sealing your natural stone flooring makes it less porous and more stain-resistant and protects the stone’s original beauty. Once your flooring is installed, it’s important to maintain all caulked areas to guard against water damage. Contact All Surface Cleaning today if you need natural stone restoration in Naples, FL or neighboring areas.

  • If I have a beautiful entry rug, will it harm my stone floor?

    Rugs are a good idea to catch dirt and grit. However, there are a few things to keep in mind. It is important to use rug holders designed to go under rugs to keep them in place. Sliding rugs are not only dangerous, they are a constant source of new scratches. Do not use rugs that are backed with rubber or latex. If your stone floor needs natural stone restoration in Naples, FL or nearby areas, call us today.

  • Does granite have a completely smooth surface?

    No. Many granite stones contain pits and fissures that are natural characteristics of granite. Some granite stones exhibit these characteristics more than others, and the lighting of the room can make these marks more or less visible. As the experts on natural stone restoration in Naples, FL, we're here to answer all your questions.

  • Can granite get chipped?

    Granite is one of the toughest stones available. In the case of normal wear and tear, it's not expected to chip. However, abusive use with heavy or hard materials can result in chips. The great news is that we can repair the chips in your granite with natural stone restoration in Naples, FL. We do this by filling the chipped areas with material that blends seamlessly into the surrounding area.

  • Is there routine, daily, or weekly maintenance I should be performing?

    The #1 culprit of damage to marble, travertine, limestone, and other natural stone floors is dirt (grit, sand, and dust). The best treatment for your floor is a dry, untreated microfiber dust mop or vacuum used every day when possible. Damp mopping is recommended weekly and whenever there are visible spills. If you need natural stone restoration Naples, FL adores, call us today.

  • Can my floors' original beautiful shine be restored?

    Yes! If your floor isn't deeply scratched, surface polishing may bring back an acceptable shine. However, existing scratches may remain. If your floor has worn badly, you may need complete natural stone restoration in Naples, FL. We'll be happy to help you make this decision.

  • What is the best way to get rid of dull spots and bring the normal shine back to my marble natural stone floors after the sealer gets discolored?

    When acid (vinegar) comes into contact with marble (calcium carbonate), it causes a chemical reaction. The result is called etching. Natural stone sealers penetrate the stone and do not prevent this natural reaction. If you do in fact have a polyurethane coat on top of your stone, then you have a different problem altogether. If the stone is etched, we can refinish it. To get started with quality natural stone restoration in Naples, FL, reach out today.

  • Will there be dust if I'm having my marble floor restored?

    Our process of natural stone restoration in Naples, FL requires the use of water to lubricate our diamond abrasives to cut the stone smoothly. This system creates no dust. If at any time we need to make a repair and cut something dry, all our tooling is encapsulated by dust-capturing devices.
