Our restoration process begins with a thorough inspection of your marble staircase. We assess the extent of scratches, etching, stains, and any structural issues that need attention before restoration begins.
Next comes the cleaning and repair phase. We clean the marble using specialized solutions, then repair any chips or cracks with color-matched fillers. Our advanced techniques allow us to complete 99% of the work on-site without creating dust or major disruption to your home.
The restoration itself involves progressive honing and polishing using diamond abrasives. We work through different grits to remove scratches and etching, then polish to achieve that mirror-like finish.
