Stone restoration NYC

When the stone is broken, or worn out, it needs to be restored to the state in which it originally was. Whether the surface should be restored or a part of it depends upon the amount of damage. In both cases, you are required to hire professionals such as ours at Statewide Stone Care to carry out the job efficiently. Here’s what you would expect out of the job when you hire a contractor for stone restoration in NYC.
Stone restoration NYC 
Grinding
We start with the first, most essential and aggressive step of the procedure, grinding. It is done so that there is a clean surface before we can begin with the rest of the process. What happens during grinding is that, the technician grinds down uneven surfaces and makes it even so that it doesn’t affect the appearance of the stone. A metal bonded, heavy weighted floor buffer is used in the process to remove deep scratches. To reduce the settling of dust, you can even choose to perform wet grinding that gives the surface a fresh and clean look. Once the process of grinding has been finished, the surface will be flat, even and have a radiant finish.

Honing
This is a much less aggressive phase as compared to grinding. The materials used are not as hard and coarse as in the previous stage. A lot of technicians tend to skip grinding and start with honing, as honing also removes moderate scratches but in a softer way. After honing, you get a flat floor just like you would in grinding but grinding gets rids of scratches better than honing. Make sure you know the difference as both processes are important to be carried out for long lasting finish.

Polishing
After grinding, the surface has to be polished thoroughly so that the stone has a fine lustrous look by the end. A combination of higher grit compounds is used in this process to achieve an appealing and glossy finish.

Sealing
Sealing is another significant and final step of the process. After the stone has been thoroughly ground, honed and polished, it is time to finish it up by sealing the surface. A sealant is used for the same, to protect the stone from any damage or wear and tear in future. The sealant also makes the stone resistant to oil, liquids and any other fluids that might leave a stain. After successfully sealing the stone surface, it adds to the beauty and appearance of your home giving it a brand new, glossy look.

Notify your contractor about the extent of the damage. It is necessary that you let them know everything in detail so that they can fix the problem without damaging the surrounding area.

When you hire a contractor from us, you can be sure that they not only fulfill the basic requirements of being licensed and insured, but you can also ensure that they are experienced. At Statewide Stone Care all of our contractors have years of experience and are experts in their field. We have made many clients very happy with our work and have always kept the customers concerns in mind, holding them at top priority.

Marble Repair in NYC

There is nothing quite as pristine and as easy to clean as marble surfaces. For the modern home, whether it is in the kitchen or the bathroom, marble counter tops are a clear favorite.  Every interior decorator and designer will tell you about how much of a difference an authoritative marble can make to a room, especially, after a renovation project. However, individuals are often worried about the inevitable edging and cracking that comes with prolonged use.  Marble is a moderately soft stone, which means that it is prone to marking owing to its calcium carbonate composition.

Marble Repair in NYC 
We at Statewide Stone Care would like to discuss when marble repair in NYC might be necessary and what happens during a repair.  

When acid reacts with the calcium carbonate, it corrodes and affects the lining of the surface, which results in dull spots that are commonly known as etches.  Marble kitchen countertops are especially prone to etching owing to the sauces from food such as lemon or tomato juice.  Please note that etching is not the same as staining.

Etches actually change the structure and the color of the marble, much like a scratch.  Aside from etching, marble is also a magnet for cracks, chips, and scratches that may occur as a result of accidents. Industry grade marble, which is mostly found in homes, is not as strong as the marble found in a community center or on a staircase. While etches are easy to fix, the scratches, holes and the cracks will typically require the assistance of a professional so as to get the right epoxy treatment. Although people often attempt personal marble repair, the process is better left to the experts like us at Statewide Stone Care.  

Marble Repair in NYC

Depending on the scope of damage to the marble, marble repair, especially for etches can be done individually at home.  A round of epoxy or a reactive maintaining solution can be used to take care of etches, stains, glass rings, pits and sometimes small scratches. However, where cracks are involved, expert help is needed.

The procedure for stain removal depends on the substance that caused the stain as well as the extent of the staining.  For etch marks, the solution depends on the finish of the marble. Marble can have a polished, honed, hammered, tumbled or a flame surface, etc. Therefore, the method that you chose should pay attention to the surface finish of the marble.

Large projects typically require intensive repair such as diamond polishing. Diamond polishing is a process that creates a new surface using specialized pads and equipment.  When professional restoration or repair is required, an expert has the capacity to which technique and products to use so as to avoid further damage to the surface.
