Granite Refinishing in NYC

Granite Refinishing

Granite has always been a popular choice for home surfaces and has a wide range of other uses. This is because of its unique qualities and peculiarities. It is incredibly hard, brittle and very resistant. Its ability to resist stress and the heavy traffic that comes with daily use makes it one of the top choices for surfaces like countertops at home and for walkways and lobbies in places of business. Statewide Stone Care has been specializing in granite refinishing in NYC for over a decade. We understand the unique beauty of granite as well as how to care for it when it needs a touch up.

Granite Refinishing in NYC 

Unfortunately, we often take these qualities for granted and misuse our granite. We do this by failing to follow simple tips like cleaning up spills immediately, regular cleaning and not using abrasive cleaners. The use of harsh chemicals continuously will damage the granite and leave it looking unappealing. Overtime, our granite surfaces can lose their beautiful shine and become very dull. This continuous wear and tear aided by acidic substances leads to rapid fading of the granite surface. As part of efforts to minimize the effect of such substances, there is a need to seal the granite surface. Sealing protects the surface against abrasive substances and goes hand in hand with the granite refinishing process. There is often the temptation to try and remedy the situation by going at it on your own with experimental cleaners.

It takes professionals who have the proper equipment and the requisite experience to prevent damage and give your granite a lasting look. Trying to fix your granite on your own might mean incurring more costs as a result of damages caused by your efforts.

Why you need a granite refinishing professional

Acquiring the necessary equipment is only one part of the major task that granite refinishing is. The skill and experience of a professional is indispensable when it comes to granite refinishing. A professional will be able to assess the extent of your problems as quickly as possible and proffer appropriate solutions.

A lot of companies offer this service but as it is such a delicate task, you should look out for one with a track record of delivering exceptional granite care. People who engage in home installations of granite surfaces are not necessarily qualified to handle your granite refinishing.
