Estate, Penthouse and Historic Home Stone
Your home isn’t ordinary — and its surfaces shouldn’t be treated that way. Rose Restoration specializes in marble, granite, limestone, terrazzo, and natural stone restoration for luxury residences across McLean, Great Falls, Potomac, Georgetown, Bethesda, and Chevy Chase.
Since 1978 we have restored the surfaces that define the DC metro’s most distinctive properties — from hand-carved marble mantels in Georgetown rowhouses to imported Italian floor slabs in Great Falls estates. Every project is led by a senior Rose technician, using diamond abrasives chosen for your stone type.
What We Restore in Luxury Homes
Marble Floors & Countertops
Calacatta, Carrara, Statuario, Thassos — we know every variety and how each responds to honing, polishing, and sealing. We remove etch marks, scratches, stains, and lippage without removing more material than necessary. Your marble has a finite life — we extend it, not shorten it.
Granite & Quartzite Surfaces
Deep cleaning, chip repair, polishing, and professional-grade impregnating sealers. We handle everything from kitchen islands to master bath vanities, matching existing finish levels precisely.
Limestone & Travertine
These softer stones require a different approach — lower diamond grits, careful honing pressure, and fill compounds that match the stone’s natural color and texture. We restore limestone floors, shower surrounds, fireplace hearths, and exterior cladding.
Terrazzo Floors
Many luxury homes in the DC metro have original terrazzo from the 1950s–1970s. We grind, polish, and seal terrazzo back to its original brilliance — revealing the beauty that’s been hidden under decades of wax buildup.
Marble Armor Surface Protection
After restoration, we apply Marble Armor — a transparent, removable film that protects marble and natural stone from etching and staining. It’s the same system we install in luxury hotels. When it wears, we replace the film instead of re-polishing the stone.
Metal & Wood Restoration
Brass handrails, bronze fixtures, stainless steel elevator panels, wood doors and cabinetry — we restore far more than stone in your home. One contractor, one standard of quality, every surface.
Fireplace & Hearth Stone
Smoke stains, heat discoloration, and soot damage on marble, limestone, and granite surrounds. We clean, hone, and restore fireplace stone without damaging the patina that gives it character.
Why DC’s Most Discerning Homeowners Choose Rose
We don’t subcontract. Every technician on your project is a full-time Rose Restoration employee with years of specialty training. No day laborers, no temp workers, no learning on your stone.
We protect your home. Full containment, dust suppression systems, floor protection on all adjacent surfaces. We leave your home cleaner than we found it.
We understand the stone. Before we touch your surface, we test it — Mohs hardness, acid sensitivity, porosity, existing sealers. The right approach depends on knowing what you’re working with, not guessing.
From one table to the whole house. Recent work runs from an 8-foot black marble dining table restored in a Logan Circle penthouse in a single day to a whole-home marble floor refinish at a private Washington-area estate. See the projects above.

Frequently Asked Questions
How much does luxury stone restoration cost?
Marble restoration typically runs $6–$20 per square foot depending on condition and finish level. Countertop projects start around $300–$500. We provide exact pricing after our free on-site assessment — never over the phone, because every surface is different.
How long does a whole-house restoration take?
A single countertop or vanity is usually one visit. Whole-house work runs room by room on a schedule set with the household, and cure and sealing time decide when each room is back in use. You get the actual sequence and dates in writing after the assessment.
Do you work in occupied homes?
Yes. Most of our residential work is done while clients are home. We contain every work area, capture dust at the tool and clean up daily. Grinding is loud, so we plan the noisiest passes around your day.
What’s the difference between Rose and other stone restoration companies?
Three things: our technicians are full-time employees (not subcontractors), we test every surface before we work on it (not guess), and we have been doing this since 1978. We also offer Marble Armor protection — something no other company in the region provides.
Can you restore outdoor stone — patios, pool decks, driveways?
Yes. Flagstone, bluestone, slate, limestone pavers, and natural stone pool coping. We clean, repair, seal, and restore outdoor stone surfaces throughout the DC metro. Learn more about outdoor stone care →
