Rose handles complete residential stone restoration across marble, granite, travertine, limestone, slate, terrazzo, and engineered quartz. We cover countertops, vanities, floors, showers, fireplaces, exterior patios, and pool decks. If it is a hard surface in a home in the DC, Maryland, or Virginia area, we have likely worked on it.
Yes. Photos are usually enough for a written estimate on small jobs — a single foyer, vanity, or shower. For larger projects, we schedule a 30-minute on-site assessment within 48 business hours of the request, free of charge. Send photos here or call 703-327-7676.
Most residential clients use Rose for one-time projects (a kitchen counter that needs etch removal, a foyer that needs floor honing). For homes with extensive stone — a whole-house marble program or a luxury condo with multiple bathrooms — we offer scheduled annual maintenance plans that include sealing, light polishing, and grout/caulk inspection.
Specific problem-by-problem guides to the most common residential stone damage we restore. Each page walks through what causes the problem, how we fix it, and what the typical project looks like.
Different marbles and granites respond differently to restoration. These guides cover the specific approach for the most popular residential stones in the DMV.
Most homeowners call us with the same three questions before they call about price: can this actually be saved, how long will my kitchen or bathroom be unusable, and what do I need to do before you arrive. Here are the honest answers.
Restoration works on damage that lives in the surface. Etching from acidic cleaners or lemon juice, scratches, dull and worn traffic patterns, staining that has penetrated the stone, tired or failing sealer, minor chips along an edge, and open or lipped seams are all repairable in place. So is a finish that was simply never right in the first place. In those cases grinding, honing and polishing remove the damaged layer and expose sound material underneath, which is why the surface comes back rather than being covered up.
There are conditions restoration will not fix, and we would rather tell you at the assessment than after a deposit:
Short of those, replacement is usually the more expensive way to solve a problem restoration already solves. If you are weighing the two, we have set the comparison out in detail on restoration versus replacement.
Most countertop and vanity projects are finished in a single visit. Beyond that, the schedule is driven by four things: the area being restored, how deep the damage runs and therefore how many passes are needed, whether repairs have to cure before polishing can start, and whether a sealer or Marble Armor is being applied at the end.
That last point catches people out. On most jobs the polishing is not what decides when you get the room back, the cure time is. A surface can look finished and still need to be left alone before it is sealed, and sealed surfaces need time before they are exposed to water or cleaning products. We give you the actual sequence and dates after the on-site assessment rather than a generic estimate, because a small foyer with one deep stain and a large floor with even wear are very different pieces of work.
Very little, and none of it is heavy work:
We mask adjoining surfaces and cabinetry before starting and work with dust containment at the tool. At the start of the job the technician walks the surface with you and points out what will come out completely, what will improve, and anything that will still be visible afterwards. At the end you walk it again before the crew packs up.
All Rose Restoration work is backed by our 1-year written workmanship warranty. Marble Armor installations carry an additional 10-year protection warranty against etching and staining.
Not sure which category your surface falls into? Send us photos and we will tell you honestly whether it is a restoration job before anyone comes out.
