Tile And Stone Restoration San Diego
Natural Stone Maintenance, Restoration And Preservation
Each stone has distinct qualities of its own and should be handled appropriately. Every stone has a different set of needs. When evaluating the fashionable benefits of stone restoration and preservation, this distinctiveness must be taken into account and discussed. Only a small percentage of stones are thought to be repairable. This must be controlled by placing the stones in the hands of a professional who can decide whether or not they merit reclaiming them based on his artistic judgment and level of expertise.
Work on reclamation projects calls for in-depth knowledge of mined stone, including where it came from, how it was introduced, and the best ways to repair some of the damage it has caused.

INITIAL WALK THROUGH
Before beginning the work, our technicians will walk you through it with them. Any pre-existing problems in the stone and/or circumstances unrelated to the stone will be covered by this. (Adjacent surface conditions or requirements, etc.)
ADJACENT SURFACE PROTECTION
Since we use manmade chemicals and water in our work, we go to great lengths to protect the nearby surfaces in areas where your activity may be disruptive. To protect them from any liquid spills or splatters, baseboards, dividers, cabinets, furnishings, and so forth are secured and hidden. When you see the workplace area, you’ll be happy.
NEATNESS
When working on your property, our reps are extremely cautious and meticulous in their work habits. Their work station is kept perfectly clean and private. Even when walking around your house, they conceal their shoes.
COMMUNICATION
Throughout the different stages of the effort, we always explain to you how we are progressing. You will be advised on what you should hope to be possible every day and how to prepare for that day’s worth of effort if the task you have given us requires more than one day.
RELIABILITY
In our Service Agreement, we explain what we promised and agreed to do. You won’t experience any escalation or surprise. There won’t be any price increases unless you require additional labor.
SUPERVISION

When the work is finished, our technicians will walk you through it one last time to make sure you’re completely satisfied.
After The Job
Our Services Include
Cleaning: Cleaning is done either by machine or by hand using the right cleaning products, and grout joints, angles, and edges are always specified with extreme care.
Grouting: In some unspecified work location, grout is used to fill voids. When applicable, grout removal and replacement would be mentioned. Our experts use a range of colors available from Custom Grout to match replacement grout as precisely as is humanly possible. In the course of the procedure, the customer may offer various products that they would prefer.
Honing: A wet process that is done with polishing and sanding disks, diamond disks or honing powder, to reduce or remove etches or scratches. Diamond disk grinding is a professional way to reduce or remove lippage problems. Diamond polishing will bring floors up to a nearly finished polish.
Polishing: Marble and other cleaned regular stone are polished to the desired sheen using a mix of grating powders applied wetly. (Diverse mineral synthesis and distinctive stone surfaces permit some stone to clean at more elevated levels than others).
Repairs: Some of the general repairs include color matched epoxy to fill cracks, hole or chips but ask us for detailed list of repairs that we perform at San Diego Tile Grout Cleaning.
Sealing: To help safeguard and to repel water, all surfaces are treated with our company’s preferred penetrating sealers.
Poultice: A poultice is a thin, glue-like substance that is applied to the surface of a stone in an effort to attempt the removal of any stains or color loss from a neutral stone using immersion, disintegration, and evaporation techniques. No poultice can ever be guaranteed to work, but when given the opportunity of time (3-6 days, depending on application) and the benefit of extensive experience, good things frequently happen.
Types Of Stone Surfaces We Clean And Polish
We steam clean a variety of stone floors and surfaces at San Diego Tile Grout Cleaning, removing grime and leaving you with a beautiful, clean space. Depending on the type of stone surface you need cleansed, our services may vary slightly. The characteristics of the most popular stone materials that we meticulously clean are listed below to help you identify the type of stone you have on the off chance that you are unsure.
Marble
From marble kitchen ledges to marble restroom ledges, San Diego Tile Grout Cleaning provides skilled cleaning and reclamation services for a variety of marble. Marble is distinguished by its veined, powdery look. It has a smooth surface and a variety of colors. When cleaning your marble surfaces, you should keep vinegar and other abrasive or acidic cleansers away from them because they can damage the stone.
Granite
Granite is different from marble in that it is a stone made primarily of silica or quartz rather than calcium carbonate. Granite has almost no veining and a stunning crystalized design. When you have a granite countertop or backsplash in your kitchen, be sure to seal it to protect it from spillage and stains. Fixing improves the effectiveness of your stone cleansing. While vinegar and other acidic cleansers don’t directly damage granite as much as they do marble, they can eventually dissolve the sealant.
Terrazzo
Terrazzo is undoubtedly a rare type of stone. Instead, it consists of an adhesive substance that cements embedded marble, rock, and other neutral stone pieces to create a magnificent and exquisite material. Particularly when it is incorrectly fastened, terrazzo can be sensitive and permeable. This setup makes proper cleaning and maintenance essential. Terrazzo can be permanently damaged by using an ineffective cleaner or cleansing method. This material can be cleaned using a comparable technique to marble and granite stone.
Travertine
Travertine is a calcareous material that is mined from the ground, similar to marble. It has a lengthy history of use as a building material, most notably serving as the main building block for the construction of the Coliseum in Rome. Travertine is very alluring, and it comes in a wide range of neutral and corroded tones in addition to its traditional sinewy appearance. It is frequently cut into blocks and used as deck or divider material because of its durability. Similar to marble, travertine shouldn’t be cleaned with vinegar or other acidic cleansers.
Slate
Slate is a siliceous stone similar to granite. It is available in dim, red, dark, and green tones and will typically have faint shades. It is appealing as a substance for floors and roofs because of the distinct style of parted surface. Slate’s surface can be very slick after being cleaned and cleansed; use caution when stepping on it. In order to properly clean your slate surfaces, be sure to remove any wax buildup. You’ll also need to remove additional grime and debris. Vacuuming shouldn’t be done with stone because it could damage the surface. The best methods for washing your slate surfaces are brushes, wet mops, and specialized stone cleaners.
Benefits Of Sealing Your Stone Countertops, Floors And Other Surfaces
Stone accents are a beautiful addition to any house. You probably weighed the benefits and drawbacks of these typical materials before choosing this one to add the finishing touch to your kitchen, bathroom, or home’s overall design. Stone is typically a flexible option for your flooring, backsplash, and sills. In any event, daily mileage can be permanently harmful if these materials are not properly maintained.
You should regularly have the surfaces of your marble, granite, and other stone features fixed and polished if you want to keep them in pristine condition. By sealing your stone, you can ensure that it has a lengthy lifespan. Additionally, you’ll experience a number of benefits when you have your neutral stone surfaces protected.
Prevent Staining And Water Damage
Unintentional spills are a frequent occurrence in many houses. However, if water or another liquid is spilled on a neutral stone surface, it may result in unsightly recoloring or water damage. This is especially true for stone that has a pale color. Before the liquid soaks deeply into the surface, sealing marble and other stone materials in your house enables you to quickly wipe them clean.
Reduce Etches And Scratches
Some types of stone, such as marble and onyx, are more susceptible to damage from everyday use. A new seal helps shield stone from scratches or etches brought on by cleaning agents, food, or even cutlery.
Enjoy Easier Cleanup
When stone is freshly sealed, it’s much easier to wipe away a variety of messes from food accumulation to fingerprints from the stone’s surface. This feature also means that you won’t need to use as much cleaner to maintain the surfaces of your stone.
Less Exposure To Harsh Chemicals
Less need for abrasive chemical cleansers results from easier cleanup. These occasionally dangerous substances can lower the indoor air quality in your house and even have negative environmental effects.
Preserve Stone’s Natural Beauty
By sealing your stone surfaces, you can lessen the amount of damage they sustain while also preventing marble, granite, and other types of stone from changing color or becoming lackluster. Sealers can also act as a safeguard against the accumulation of cloudy substances such as oils, water, and other fluids on the surface of the stone, which could harm the material’s quality and attractive appearance.
How To Know When To Seal Your Marble And Stone
Utilizing stone materials in your home is a wonderful way to create visual interest and timeless allure. Every type of stone is unique and has its own distinct grandeur, allure, and sturdiness. Whether you choose marble, granite, or another type of stone, each requires different maintenance procedures.
Some stones, like marble, are more delicate and touchy by nature, necessitating ongoing care to avoid damage, maintain its structure, and preserve its brilliant appearance. Others are sturdy and powerful, much like stone.
Having the stone accents in your house routinely sealed is one maintenance task that you won’t want to ignore. Below is a good, reliable guideline to give you a basic idea if you’re unsure how often to have your stone sealed to protect its long-lasting quality and appearance.
Granite
With typical use, granite requires polishing on floors, counters, and other surfaces every two to three years.
Marble
With regular use, you should have your marble surfaces resealed more frequently—at least twice or three times per year.
Slate
Similar to granite, slate is a durable substance that only requires resealing every three years under normal use.
Travertine
To maintain your travertine features in top condition, have them sealed every three to five years.
Terrazzo
Terrazzo is typically more delicate and needs a little more attention, much like marble. With typical use, have your concrete resealed a few times annually.
While the aforementioned guidelines are meant to help you decide when to have new sealant applied to your marble, granite, and other stone surfaces, sealant should still be applied as frequently as feasible on occasion. Get another application done if the stone is lighter in color or you observe the sealant is wearing off.
Call San Diego Tile Grout Cleaning to have your neutral stone floors and other surfaces cleaned, polished, and sealed if your stone requires a fresh coat of sealant.
How We Clean, Polish And Seal Granite, Marble And Stone Surfaces
In addition to washing and sealing for typical stone surfaces, San Diego Tile Grout Cleaning provides care for granite countertops on floors, in kitchens, and bathrooms. Granite, marble, and other common stone materials require special consideration, which is something that our highly qualified and certified experts are aware of. To ensure the best security and beautiful results, we make the effort to carefully plan, clean, and seal these materials.
Step 1 – Clean: To cut through thick grease and grime and remove debris and germs from your ledges, we use common stone cleaning solutions. For the highest degree of cleanliness, we routinely steam clean every stone surface. We never use harsh chemicals or artificial cleansers that could damage the surface of the stone or endanger the safety of your family.
Step 2 – Polish: We clean the stone’s surface to a dazzling shine using specialized cleaning equipment and stone cleaning cushions that are appropriate for your particular stone variety. Through this process, grime and debris are removed, and the stone is given a smooth, even appearance.
Step 3 – Seal And Buff: After your stone has been cleansed and polished, we coat the surface with a commercial-grade, deeply penetrating sealer to prevent further discoloration. Although adding sealant is an optional service, we strongly advise doing so to protect your stone surfaces from pitting and stains.
