What is happening
Stone loses its shine over time, from foot traffic, grit, the wrong cleaners, and years of buildup. Unlike an etch mark, the dullness usually covers the whole floor or counter.
What to look for
A floor or counter that looks hazy all over
Walking paths duller than the rest of the floor
Fine scratches you can see in low, angled light
Wax buildup that traps dirt and dulls the stone

If any of these sound familiar, send photos and a short description. That is usually enough for us to size up the job before a site visit.
A whole room or lobby is dull, not one spot
Terrazzo with cracks, missing chips, or old wax
An occupied building where the work has to happen overnight or in stages
You want a regular maintenance schedule afterwards
Daily habits and the right products matter as much as the repair, especially on marble, limestone, and travertine.

Limestone entries with patchy wear, honed across the whole floor to an even matte or satin finish.
