What is Stone Restoration?
Page 2

How is the job charged?

Professional restoration companies will usually charge by the job as square footage pricing is not practical.  Each type of stone will present its own unique challenges as will the consumer’s desired result for each surface.  Other considerations are also factored in, such as where in the building the stone to be restored is located, water and electricity supplies, etc.  Regardless of the cost, it is always less than the price of replacement and most times you will have an installation that looks as good as, if not better than, new. 

How long does it take?

Each type of stone and the desired finish for each as well as the size of the job will set the pace for the length of time needed to complete a project.  If you are looking to restore over 300 square feet of any stone, chances are you are looking at more than one day realistically. More can be done in one day, but not with the proper set-up and protection of other surfaces.

What can I expect when it is finished?

You can expect to have your stone looking like new again and be given the proper maintenance instructions for long term care.

What can be resolved?

Scratches, etch marks and wear can be removed Also advice on how to avoid any future need for restoration for a considerable length of time.

What is the process and how soon can someone get there?

Be prepared to pay a deposit and wait at least 2 weeks for service.  Crews are busy and need to be scheduled.  Without a commitment (deposit), customers may decide to change days or not show up for appointments.  Lost days of work cost professional restoration companies too much money to schedule work without deposits. The greater the need, the sooner technicians can be scheduled.
