What is Stone Restoration?
Web Page Clicks : 11/10/2008
Restoration of stone is the restoring of worn stone to the state in which it was installed. It may also entail the altering of the stones surface to match a desired finish of the installation?s owner or management. In some cases an owner may desire a polished surface to be honed or visa versa.
Restoration is a process that can only be done by a professional stone restoration company. Your typical maintenance/janitorial or carpet/tile & grout cleaning company will not have the proper tools or experience to restore natural stone. True stone restoration does not include just cleaning and sealing of your stone, this will do nothing to change the look of your stone's appearance except to make it look cleaner. This is not said to be critical to these types of companies. The investment of knowledge, equipment and experience needed to understand and work with stone properly is greater than what your average cleaning company can afford to pay for qualified technicians to stay with the company.
A qualified stone restoration technician will on the other hand, be too busy to do routine maintenance work which pays much less then they can make working with stone. It is like asking a Ferrari mechanic to fix bicycles for the same wages. Looking at it from reverse, would a bicycle shop owner pay to keep a Ferrari mechanic on duty until a customer with a Ferrari came in? Only a Ferrari dealer (or specialist) is going to be able to warrant keeping a technician with the specialized knowledge, tools and equipment on payroll as customers will be more regular and make the investment worthwhile.
