Elegant and timeless, limestone countertops are a favorite in Newport Beach homes. However, daily use and exposure to spills can leave them scratched, etched, or dull over time. At Sureshine Care and Restoration Services, Inc., we specialize in professional limestone polishing and honing to restore your countertops to their original beauty.
Understanding Limestone Finishes
Limestone countertops offer a variety of finishes to match your style:
