Your home’s natural stone and concrete surfaces should reflect the quality of the home itself. Rose Restoration has been restoring marble, granite, terrazzo, concrete, and natural stone in homes throughout Falls Church and Northern Virginia for 47 years. From marble kitchen countertops and bathroom vanities to natural stone floors and concrete garage floors, our team specializes in restoring the surfaces homeowners see and use every day.
Homes in Falls Church frequently feature premium materials like marble, limestone, travertine, granite, and bluestone. Over time, these surfaces can become scratched, etched, stained, or dull due to everyday wear. Professional stone restoration removes damage, restores the original finish, and protects the material so it continues to perform beautifully for years to come.
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.
Most homeowners assume the only option is to live with it or tear it out and replace it. That’s almost never true. In
most cases, damaged, stained, or dull stone can be restored to like-new condition for a fraction of the cost of
replacement.
That’s what we’ve been doing for over four decades. Rose Restoration brings professional-grade equipment and 40+
years of hands-on expertise directly to your home. No demolition. No dust clouds. No weeks-long renovation. Just
your stone, brought back to life.

For more than four decades, homeowners throughout Northern Virginia have trusted Rose Restoration for specialized surface restoration.
• 47 years of restoration experience
• Specialists in marble, natural stone, terrazzo, and concrete
• Family-owned company with experienced technicians
• Trusted by homeowners, designers, and contractors across the DC region
• Professional equipment and restoration techniques designed specifically for stone surfaces
Our team treats every home with the same care we bring to luxury hotels, historic buildings, and high-end residential projects.
Natural stone surfaces are durable, but they require specialized care to maintain their appearance and integrity. Our technicians restore a wide range of residential stone surfaces including:
• marble countertops and bathroom vanities
• limestone and travertine floors
• granite kitchen surfaces
• slate and bluestone entryways
• terrazzo flooring
• natural stone showers and bathroom walls
Our stone restoration process removes surface damage such as etching, scratches, and staining while restoring the proper finish level of the stone.
Marble countertops remain one of the most popular surfaces in Falls Church kitchens and bathrooms. However, marble is a calcium-based natural stone that can develop etching, water rings, and stains from everyday use.
Our marble restoration services include:
• marble honing and polishing
• marble stain and etch removal
• marble sealing
• Marble Armor protective treatment
Marble Armor adds an additional layer of protection for marble countertops and vanities, helping prevent staining and etching while preserving the natural appearance of the stone.
Concrete surfaces are becoming increasingly common in residential design. We restore and improve concrete floors throughout Falls Church homes including:
• concrete garage floor refinishing
• concrete grinding and surface preparation
• concrete staining and sealing
• polished and densified concrete floors
• basement concrete floor restoration
A restored concrete garage floor not only improves the appearance of the space but also reduces dusting and long-term surface wear.
Grout problems are one of the most common surface issues homeowners encounter. Over time grout lines can become dark, cracked, or deteriorated due to moisture, cleaning chemicals, and daily use.
Our tile and grout services include:
• grout deep cleaning
• grout color sealing
• rake and regrout services
• caulk replacement at movement joints
• tile and stone floor restoration
These services restore the appearance of kitchens, bathrooms, showers, and entryways while protecting the installation from water intrusion.
Falls Church — the “Little City” — occupies a small but distinctive footprint between Arlington and Fairfax County, one of only two independent cities in Virginia without county status. That independence has given Falls Church a strong community identity and a careful approach to development that has preserved much of the city’s residential character. The housing stock reflects the city’s layered history: 1940s bungalows and Cape Cods in the original residential core, mid-century colonials and split-levels from the postwar boom, and more recent infill townhomes and single-family homes on teardown lots.
The older bungalows and Capes often feature original bathroom tile, slate or flagstone entry features, and cast stone fireplace surrounds that are increasingly valued by buyers and owners who appreciate the authenticity of original materials. Restoration of these features — rather than replacement with modern substitutes — preserves both the home’s character and its value in a market where original craftsman details command premiums.
Falls Church’s newer construction and renovation projects bring a more contemporary stone restoration profile: Calacatta marble kitchen countertops and waterfall edges, large-format porcelain tile with stone-look finishes, and quartz composite surfaces that require professional care different from natural stone. Rose Restoration is equipped to handle the full spectrum — from original 1948 slate to a 2022 marble island top — in this eclectic, architecturally diverse city.
Q: How much does residential stone restoration cost?
A: It depends on the surface type, size, and condition, but most residential projects range from $10–$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.

Start with an assessment call — we’ll come out, evaluate what you have (cast stone, marble, ceramic tile, or a combination are all common in Falls Church bungalows of that era), and tell you honestly what’s achievable. Painted cast stone surrounds can often be carefully stripped, cleaned, and sealed. Original marble hearths can be honed and polished. Damaged or missing pieces can sometimes be matched and replaced. Knowing what material you’re working with is the essential first step. Call (703) 327-7676 to schedule a visit.
Etching on marble countertops is normal and very common in kitchen applications — marble is a calcium carbonate stone that reacts chemically with acids from food, wine, and cleaning products. The solution is professional honing and polishing to remove the etch marks, followed by sealing and guidance on protective practices. Some homeowners also opt to have us hone the marble to a matte or leathered finish, which hides etching much better than a high-gloss polish. Call (703) 327-7676 and we’ll walk you through the options.
