#1 PREPARATION ; The perfect start to a great restoration is protection of
surfaces adjacent to the serviced material. We use high quality 3M company
masking films and blue painters tape as well as heavy duty tarps and plastic
runners. (see picture page for example)

#2 CLEANING; We use site specific chemicals and in most cases they are
environmentally safe. We machine clean, hand scrub grout joints, corners and
edges then a powerful commercial wet vac removes all the dirty solution and
then we use a neutralizing rinse.

#5 SEALING AND FINISHING; After the stone or material has been restored
we apply only premium quality penetrating sealers and finishes. These are of
utmost importance to protect from staining materials. Almost all natural stone
and grout is porous and requires sealing. Penetrating sealers are best with
smooth cut stones such as marble, travertine, granite and limestones. A
finish is generally used on porous pavers or rough cut stone such as slate or
flagstone but penetrants can be used as well if you prefer the natural
appearance of these materials
