No. We use wet diamond polishing techniques that keep dust contained at the stone surface. You do not need to leave your home during the process. We protect surrounding furniture, cabinets, and fixtures before starting. Most residential projects are completed in a single day.

In most cases, restoration is the better option. Dull finishes, etch marks, scratches, stains, and even cracks can be repaired without replacing the stone. Replacement is only necessary when the stone is structurally compromised or severely broken. A free inspection will tell you which approach makes sense for your situation.

Polishing restores the shine and smoothness of the stone surface using diamond abrasives. Sealing is a separate step that applies a penetrating protectant into the stone’s pores to guard against stains and moisture. Most stone surfaces benefit from both. We always seal after polishing to protect the finished result.
