Q: How much does residential stone restoration cost in Tysons?
A: Pricing depends on the surface type, size, and condition of the material. Most residential restoration projects range from $10–$20 per square foot, which is typically far less expensive than replacing natural stone. We provide free on-site consultations in Tysons with a detailed written estimate.
Q: How long does the restoration process take?
A: Many residential projects are completed within one to two days. Smaller surfaces like marble countertops can often be restored in a few hours, while larger floor or patio projects may take two to three days depending on the scope.
Q: Can etched marble countertops be repaired?
A: Yes. Etching caused by acidic substances such as lemon juice, wine, or cleaning products can usually be removed through professional marble honing and polishing. Many homeowners also choose Marble Armor protection to help prevent future etching and staining.
Q: Can outdoor patios and pool decks be restored instead of replaced?
A: In many cases, yes. Bluestone patios, flagstone walkways, and travertine pool decks can often be restored through cleaning, mortar repair, repointing, and sealing — which is usually far more cost-effective than replacement.
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.
