With experience since 1978 restoring marble, terrazzo, granite, and natural stone throughout the Washington DC area, our team helps homeowners bring damaged surfaces back to life.
It happens slowly. A dull spot on the kitchen counter. A scratch on the marble foyer you keep noticing. The bathroom vanity that doesn’t gleam the way it did when you moved in. Then one day you realize — your stone looks tired.

Many homes in Annapolis incorporate stone surfaces in kitchens, bathrooms, entryways, and outdoor spaces. Over time, natural stone surfaces can become dull, etched, or scratched due to regular use and exposure to moisture and cleaning products.
Our stone restoration services include:

• marble stain and etch removal
• natural stone floor restoration
• stone sealing and protection
These services restore the natural beauty of stone while helping protect the material from further damage.
Tile surfaces in bathrooms, kitchens, and showers often show wear in the grout lines first. Because grout is porous, it absorbs dirt, soap residue, and moisture that cause staining and discoloration.
Rose Restoration provides professional:
• grout deep cleaning

Annapolis presents a stone restoration environment unlike anywhere else in the region. Maryland’s capital sits at the confluence of the Severn River and the Chesapeake Bay, and that waterfront location profoundly shapes the challenges facing stone in and around the city. Salt-laden air accelerates the weathering of exterior stone — particularly the limestone and brick common in the historic district around Maryland Avenue and State Circle — and the moisture cycling inherent in a marine climate stresses mortar joints, accelerates biological growth, and wicks into stone in ways that inland properties rarely experience.
The historic downtown, anchored by the Maryland State House and the Naval Academy, features Georgian and Federal architecture with characteristic brick and stone detailing that requires careful, period-appropriate restoration. Annapolis’s designation as a National Historic Landmark district means that restoration work in many areas is subject to the Historic Annapolis Foundation’s review standards. Rose Restoration understands these requirements and can work within them.
Beyond the historic core, Annapolis’s boating culture has created a robust market for outdoor stone restoration: pool decks, patios, outdoor kitchens, and dock-side entertaining areas made from bluestone, travertine, and natural fieldstone all endure intense seasonal use and Chesapeake Bay moisture. Proper sealing and periodic maintenance are essential in this environment to prevent the rapid deterioration that neglected outdoor stone experiences near the water.
Q: How much does residential stone restoration cost?
A: It depends on the surface type, size, and condition, but most residential projects range from $6–$20 per square foot. That’s typically 70–90% less than replacement. We provide a free on-site assessment with a detailed, no-obligation written estimate.
Q: How long does the restoration process take?
A: Most residential projects are completed in 1–2 days. A single marble countertop can often be done in a few hours. Larger projects like full-floor restoration or pool deck repointing may take 2–3 days. We’ll give you a specific timeline before starting.
Q: Will restoration make my floors slippery?
A: No. We can customize the finish level to your preference. For floors, we typically recommend a honed (matte) finish that provides excellent traction. For countertops, a polished (glossy) finish is more common. We’ll discuss the options during your assessment.
Q: Do you move furniture?
A: For floor restoration projects, we ask that furniture be moved from the work area beforehand. We’re happy to discuss logistics during the assessment and can recommend movers if needed.
Q: What areas do you serve?
A: We serve homeowners throughout Northern Virginia, Maryland, and Washington, D.C., including Fairfax, Arlington, McLean, Great Falls, Potomac, Bethesda, Georgetown, Alexandria, Tysons, Reston, and surrounding areas. For unique projects, we travel further.
Q: Is there a warranty on your work?
A: Yes. We stand behind every project. The specific warranty depends on the service performed, and we’ll outline it clearly in your proposal. We also offer maintenance programs to keep your surfaces protected long-term.
Q: Can you fix etching on my marble countertops?
A: Absolutely — etching is one of the most common issues we fix. Those dull rings and spots from lemon juice, wine, or cleaning products can almost always be polished out completely. We can also apply Marble Armor to prevent future etching.

Yes. Failed or improperly applied sealers are a very common issue on waterfront properties in Annapolis, where the combination of salt air, direct sun, and moisture creates challenging conditions. We begin by stripping the failing sealer with appropriate chemical and mechanical methods, then deep-cleaning the stone to remove biological staining, rust, and mineral deposits. Once the stone is properly prepared and dry, we apply a high-performance penetrating sealer suitable for exterior stone in a marine environment. Call (703) 327-7676 for an on-site evaluation of your patio.
Yes. We work regularly on historic Annapolis properties and understand the material standards and sensitivity required when working in the historic district. This includes matching original mortar compositions for repointing work, using appropriate consolidants for deteriorated limestone, and avoiding cleaning methods that could damage historic surfaces. If your project may require Historic Annapolis Foundation review, we can provide the technical documentation they typically require. Call (703) 327-7676 to discuss your specific property and project.
