Not all stone care is created equal — and hiring the wrong company can cost you.
When your marble floor loses its shine, your granite countertop gets scratched, or your travertine holes start to show, you might be tempted to call your regular cleaning crew. But here's the truth: stone restoration requires specialized training, knowledge, and equipment that most janitorial and carpet cleaning companies don't have.
Each type of stone behaves differently. Granite is much harder than marble, so refinishing it takes different tools and techniques. Some pros who work on marble every day won't even touch granite because they know it's outside their skill set. Travertine has those natural holes that need custom-tinted fillers, precise floating techniques, and diamond-pad finishing in multiple grits to get the look right.
Beyond Stone Solutions has been working exclusively with natural stone since 1976. We've seen what happens when well-meaning but unqualified companies try to "upsell" stone services they're not trained to perform — and we've fixed a lot of those mistakes.
If your stone needs repair, refinishing, sealing, or deep restoration, make sure you're hiring a contractor who specializes in natural stone — not just someone who cleans floors.
