Your countertops don’t need to stay damaged. What you’re looking at right now—those etched spots from lemon juice, the dull areas where the shine has worn away, the chips along the edges—all of that can be fixed.
Professional restoration brings your marble, granite, and stone surfaces back to their original condition. You get the beauty of new countertops without tearing out what’s already there.
The process removes scratches, restores shine, and seals the surface to prevent future damage. Your kitchen becomes a space you’re proud to use again, and your investment in quality materials pays off for years to come.
We’ve been serving Riverside and surrounding areas since 1998. We specialize in the kind of challenging restoration work that other contractors won’t touch—historic floors, century-old marble, and complex stone projects.
Riverside’s beautiful historic homes deserve craftsmen who understand both the materials and the methods that preserve their character. As an owner-operator business, every project gets direct attention from experienced professionals who’ve been featured in the New York Times for our restoration expertise.
We know the difference between a quick fix and lasting restoration. That’s why property owners throughout Riverside trust us with their most valuable surfaces.
First, we evaluate your countertops and discuss exactly what you want to achieve. No surprises, no upselling—just an honest assessment of what’s possible and what it will cost.
Next comes the restoration work itself. We grind down rough areas, hone the surface to remove scratches and etching, then polish the stone to achieve the finish you want. Finally, we apply a protective sealer that guards against future stains and damage.
Most projects are completed in one to two days. You’ll have full use of your kitchen or bathroom again quickly, with countertops that look and perform like new. The whole process happens with minimal disruption to your daily routine.

We handle marble, granite, concrete, and other natural stone surfaces throughout Riverside’s historic district and surrounding neighborhoods. Each material requires different techniques, and we’ve developed expertise in all of them over 25 years of hands-on work.
Riverside’s older homes often feature original stone surfaces that need careful restoration to maintain their historic character. We understand the importance of preserving these details while bringing functionality back to modern standards.

We also offer concrete restoration and polishing—a growing service for homeowners updating their spaces with contemporary materials while maintaining the craftsmanship standards Riverside is known for.
Restoration typically costs 70-80% less than full replacement. While a complete countertop replacement in Riverside can run $3,000-$8,000 or more depending on materials and size, professional restoration usually ranges from $600-$1,500 for most residential projects.
The exact cost depends on the current condition of your surfaces, the type of stone, and the level of restoration needed. We provide free estimates so you know exactly what to expect before any work begins.
Most homeowners are surprised by how much money they save while getting results that look just as good as new countertops.
Yes, etching from lemon juice, wine, vinegar, and cleaning products can be completely removed through professional restoration. These acidic substances actually dissolve the marble surface, creating dull spots that can’t be fixed with cleaning alone.
Our restoration process involves carefully grinding away the damaged surface layer, then honing and polishing the stone back to its original finish. We can match any sheen level, from high gloss to matte, depending on your preference.
After restoration, we apply a protective sealer that helps prevent future etching and makes maintenance much easier. The key is addressing etching promptly—the longer it sits, the deeper it penetrates into the stone.
Most residential countertop restoration projects are completed in one to two days. The timeline depends on the size of the area, the extent of damage, and the type of restoration needed.

The restored surfaces need 24-48 hours to fully cure after sealing, but you can use your countertops for light tasks almost immediately. We’ll give you specific care instructions to ensure the best long-term results.
