Granite Cleaning, Polishing, Repair and Restoration 

Because granite is very dense and hard, it stands up well against heavy foot traffic, making it preferable for commercial lobbies and walkways.  True granite is the hardest of the polished stones commercially available and is used in high-stress situations.  Resistant to most chemicals -- except oils which can permeate the stone -- granite is also ideal for counters and bar tops.  

Granite is a much harder stone on the Mose Scale, and therefore requires a much higher skill level to work on.  Though it is a harder stone, it is still subject to damage like pitting, scratching, chipping and absorbing.  There are also products that are sold for stone that can pit granite over time.

Composed of quartz and feldspar, granite should be sealed with an oil-repellent, penetrating sealer to prevent staining and reduce soiling.  Flamed granite surfaces are very absorbent due to the stress fractures in the stone caused by the flaming process and should be sealed to maintain the original color and appearance of the stone over time.  Do NOT try to polish or hone granite.

It should be noted that some stone marked and sold as 'granite' is actually marble.  Our professional stone technicians are able to determine your stone type to ensure the appropriate cleaning applications are used. We will leave your stone looking better than new and you will be equipped to keep it looking that way.
