Are the before-and-after photos from real jobs?

Yes. Every photo on this page is from our own work. We leave out client names and addresses, so each photo is described by the damage it shows. The case studies further down are buildings we have worked in.

Can you show me work similar to my stone?

Send photos when you ask for a quote. We'll tell you what your stone needs and how we would go about it.

Do you only restore homes?

No. We also work in condos, hotels, shops, offices, schools, and government buildings. The steps are the same for a kitchen counter as for a hotel lobby.

Case studies

Hotels, condo towers, and public buildings.

In busy buildings we work in stages around the people using them, and we restore the stone instead of replacing it wherever it is sound.

Restore vs. replace

Why worn stone rarely needs replacing.

Factor	Restoration	Replacement
Typical cost	A fraction of replacement	New stone plus installation
Timeline	A day for a counter, 1 to 3 days for floors	Weeks of demolition and rebuilding
Disruption	Low, we work around you	High, the room is out of use
Waste	No demolition debris; slurry is collected	Old stone goes to landfill
Result	Original stone, like new	New stone, new seams
