The Ultimate Guide to Stone Restoration: Choosing the Right Service for Your Needs
Maintaining beautiful stone surfaces like marble, granite, or travertine isn’t just about keeping them clean. Over time, they can develop scratches, stains, and other signs of wear that impact their look and longevity. But how do you know what kind of service you need to keep them looking their best? Here’s a complete guide to choosing the right stone restoration service with Sureshine Care and Restoration Services, Inc.
Three Levels of Stone Restoration: Which One is Right for You?
At Sureshine, we offer three distinct service levels to meet your needs. Whether you need a full restoration or just a bit of sprucing up, we have you covered.
1. Full Restoration: Bringing New Life to Worn Surfaces
Best For: Deep scratches, stubborn stains, and heavily worn or damaged surfaces.
Full restoration is our most comprehensive service. It’s ideal for stone surfaces that have seen better days and need a major facelift. Our technicians use specialized equipment to remove scratches, deep-clean stains, and apply a protective seal, leaving your stone surface looking like new.
Includes:
- Grinding down scratches
- Polishing for a high-shine finish
- Full cleaning and stain removal
- Sealing to protect from future damage
2. Deep Cleaning, Polishing, and Sealing: Maintaining Beauty and Shine
Best For: Moderate wear, light scratches, or dullness.
If your stone surfaces have started to look dull but aren’t damaged, this second-tier service is a great choice. It includes deep cleaning to remove embedded dirt, a polishing service to bring back the shine, and sealing to protect the surface from future stains.
Includes:
- Intensive cleaning to remove built-up dirt
- Polishing to restore shine
- Sealing for long-lasting protection
3. Basic Cleaning and Sealing: Routine Care for Long-Term Durability
Best For: Routine maintenance and protection for newer or well-maintained stone surfaces.
Our third-tier service is perfect for surfaces that don’t need much restoration but still benefit from periodic cleaning and sealing. Regular maintenance keeps your stone surfaces in top shape and helps prevent the need for more intensive restoration in the future.
Includes:
- Professional deep cleaning
- Application of a durable seal to guard against wear and stains

Frequently Asked Questions
Q: How often should I have my stone surfaces cleaned and sealed?
A: For routine care, once every 3-5 years is a good rule of thumb. However, high-traffic areas or heavily used surfaces may benefit from more frequent cleaning and sealing.
Q: How do I know if I need a full restoration or just a deep clean and polish?
A: If you notice deep scratches, significant dullness, or stubborn stains, a full restoration may be necessary. For light scratches or general dullness, a deep cleaning and polish should suffice.
Q: Does sealing make my stone surface stain-proof?
A: Sealing provides a protective layer that resists stains, but it doesn’t make surfaces completely stain-proof. Regular maintenance is still important to keep your surfaces looking their best.
Q: Will polishing make my stone surface slippery?
A: Polishing brings back the natural shine of the stone but doesn’t necessarily make it slippery. However, in areas prone to moisture, adding non-slip treatments can be beneficial.
Q: Can I use any cleaner on my stone surfaces after they’re restored?
A: No, avoid acidic or abrasive cleaners as they can damage the stone. Stick to pH-neutral cleaners designed for natural stone surfaces.
