Stripping, grinding, refinishing, resurfacing and other methods are employed to remove coatings, efflorescence, most staining, soils and other types of contaminants in order to restore a material to its original condition and presentation as much as possible.

<p>Both stone and concrete are deep-cleaned and acid-washed. The stone is then sealed with an enhancing, penetrating, matte sealer. The natural colors of the stone are noticeably accentuated. The concrete has been color-stained and sealed.</p>
<p>The concrete lost much of its color and ability to repel contaminants and water. After stripping the previous stain and coating, the concrete was re-stained and sealed with a semi-glossy sealer. Special additives to the sealer not only help to protect the concrete’s color and finish, but also improve slip resistance.</p>
<p>The stone foyer lacked color and polish due to normal wear and lack of mainteance. Refinishing and polishing restored the vibrant, polished finish characteristic of these two popular stones.</p>
<p>Some slates can have iron deposits that will rust when exposed to moisture. A special cleaning process was employed to remove the majority of rust from the stone and grout. Finally, a penetrating, enhancing sealer was applied. Even after two years and exposure to the elements, the stone is rich in color and staining much less significantly.</p>
<p>The dullness, etches and mineral build-up were removed through refinishing and honing. A penetrating enhancing sealer was applied later which enriched the stone’s natural colors and provided much better protection.</p>
<p>Soap residue, mineral build-up and etches caused the stone to dull and lackluster. Agressive refinishing and polished restored the stone’s color and finish. Afterwards, the stone was sealed with penetrating water, oil, and dirt sealers. With proper homeowner care, the stone will maintain its appearance for a longer time.</p>
<p>Excessive soap residue and chemical etching severely damaged this Portland Cement and marble chip composite. Through aggressive refinishing and polishing, the stone appears brighter and lighter. The marble chips are riched in color and add to the unqiueness of this material.</p>
<p>The concrete lost much of its color and ability to repel oils. After stripping the previous coating, the concrete was re-stained and sealed. Special materials are added to the sealer that not only help to protect the concrete’s color and finish, but also improve slip resistance.</p>
