Stone Countertop Cleaning & Restoration in San Diego
Cleaning and restoration for granite, marble, limestone and travertine countertops in kitchens and bathrooms, starting with an inspection of your counters.
Quick answer
How Are Stone Countertops Restored?
Countertop restoration starts with an inspection to find the specific problems and the right methods. Grime, stains and buildup are removed with stone-safe products, the surface is honed and polished with pads suited to the stone to bring back an even luster, and a penetrating sealer is applied to help prevent staining. Chips, cracks and failed seams are repaired with color-matched epoxy.
Why it matters
Methods Matched to the Stone
Marble, granite, limestone and travertine each have their own properties and care requirements. We use products that remove grime, stains and buildup gently but effectively, without damaging the stone.
The same honing, polishing and buffing techniques used on marble floors apply to countertops, vanity tops and table tops, so kitchens and bathrooms can be restored consistently. You receive a clear estimate up front and updates throughout.

Before & After
Countertop Results
Worn counters can usually be restored rather than replaced. Results depend on the stone and the damage.
Care
Keeping Restored Counters Looking New
Simple habits protect a restored countertop.
- Use coasters, trivets and place mats, especially under drinks with alcohol or citrus.
- Never put hot items directly on stone.
- Blot spills immediately.
- Avoid vinegar, lemon and other acids on marble, travertine and other calcium-based stone.
- Buff streaks with a clean white cloth, and reseal with a food-safe sealer when needed.
