Restoration by Design Stone

Restoration by Design Stone We provide expert repair, restoration, maintenance and protection for all natural stone, terrazzo, tile and grout surfaces.

Your marble and other natural stone floors and surfaces, whether polished and pristine or scuffed and dirty make a lasting impression— for better or worse— on your customers and visitors. If your natural stone and tile surfaces have become dingy, scratched, stained, or just dirty looking, even with regular cleaning or janitorial services, it’s time to call the restoration experts at Restoration by

Design Stone. Whether you need a complete restoration or ongoing maintenance we can help you make the best possible impression. Regular cleaning and maintenance of tile and grout, even the back-breaking, knuck-bruising kind, only goes so far. That’s because you can’t reach into and under porous surfaces, where dirt and grime gets trapped. We can also seal your grout to form a protective barrier against stains, dirt, and bacteria, or color seal the grout to give it a brand new look. Either way, the life span or your grout is increased, and regular cleaning becomes much easier. You can read more about our grout color sealing services in this article, “Color sealing your grout… is it all it’s cracked up to be?”

Your marble isn't shiny because of wax.
In fact, one of the biggest myths in natural stone care is that adding more sealer or wax will restore shine.
It won't.
Here's what actually creates that beautiful mirror finish—and why understanding the difference could save you money.
The beautiful shine on natural stone isn't created by a coating or sealer—it's created by the stone itself through professional polishing. That's why adding more sealer won't fix dull spots, scratches, or etching.

In this article, we explain:
✔️ What actually creates the shine
✔️ Why sealers don't restore a dull finish
✔️ What causes stone to lose its luster
✔️ How to protect your investment

If your natural stone has lost its shine, understanding why is the first step toward restoring it.
