Why Oceanfront Stone Surfaces Need Deep Cleaning and Sealing

Living by the ocean is a dream—but for your home’s stone surfaces, it’s a constant battle with the elements.

This luxury property recently got the care it needed: a deep restoration cleaning, followed by a polish and seal. The result? A fresh, clean look and long-term protection for the stone.

Ocean Air Is Tough on Stone -

Salt air, UV rays, and constant moisture can wear down even the best stone surfaces. Pool decks and patios take the biggest hit, especially with construction dust and debris nearby.

Why Deep Cleaning Matters -

Regular cleaning just isn’t enough. Over time, salt and grime get deep into the stone, making it look dull and worn. A professional deep clean removes all that buildup and preps the surface for restoration.

Polish and Seal = Protection + Sheen -

After cleaning, polishing brings back the stone’s natural beauty, while sealing helps protect it from future damage like stains and salt erosion.

Keep It Looking New -

Stone is a big part of any luxury home’s look—and it’s worth protecting. With regular deep maintenance, you’ll keep your stone surfaces looking great and lasting longer.

CONCRETE LANAI REVIVED

/

Kapalua, Maui, Hi

This concrete pad had many years of wear and tear. Between red dirt stains and lack of up keep this lanai was in pretty rough condition. Not to mention the air conditioning unit above was dripping rusty water down the side of building and splashing the pad, causing another layer of staining. Fortunately we were able to remove stain from not only the concrete but also from stucco wall. This gave us a fresh canvas to re stain and seal this concrete lanai. Client was very happy with this transformation.

ANTI SLIP TEXTURE (BUSH HAMMER FINISH)

/

Wailea Maui, Hi

I posted a blog earlier for slip treatment on a marble floor, in particular bush hammering.

This is limestone. As you can see it has years of wear and staining. Traditional cleaning and restoration methods didn’t really work for a long term solution.

This is a close up of the finish. We created texture for slip resistance, and really changed the appearance for a whole new look.

Instead of ripping out and wasting materials in the dump, why not see what options are out there to preserve your existing material.

POLISHED FLOORS

/

Wailea Maui, Hi

We’ve done quite of few of these marble floors. They can be tricky to maintain due to the soft nature and natural veins.

For projects like these, they usually require a restorative cleaning, Diamond sanding, chip repairs, and grout work. We also have to consider extra protection of all surrounding surfaces because of the extent of work.

A great character of this stone is that it look great in a high polished or matte finished. So it can be go along with trends or new finishes.

MARBLE COUNTER TOP RESTORATION

/

Wailea Maui, Hi

Found this in our archives.

We did this marble counter a while back. This is in a hotel lobby next to there banquet halls. As you can imagine it had a lot of wear and tear. From large etch marks caused by spills, to the common ring from bottoms of cups. These etch marks are caused by acidic substances like cocktails or lemonade for example.

We did a full restoration to remove damages and bring back its high polish sheen. In the end, looked and felt brand new.

We service and restore a variety of countertops materials, natural stone and engineered.

Please give us a call if you need some restoration or maybe just a freshening up to your surface. You can reach us at 808.877.0222

MARBLE SLIP TREATMENT

/

Wailea Maui , Hi

This property had just installed this beautiful marble. It just had one big problem. The guest were slipping and falling ever time it got wet.

After talking the situation over we came up with a solution, instead of slip treat the traditional way with topical coating with grit in it, which needs to be redone regularly. We decided to go with a process called bush hammering. This not only adds texture and lots of grip, but it really looks cool.

With some regular cleanings by staff, this non slip should perform for years to come

We also provide micro etching as a different solution for ceramic tile and some natural stone

In this case client didn’t think it was enough for this situation.

HOTEL ROOM FLOOR

/

WAILEA, MAUI, HI

This was a sample room for a hotel renovation. This was a porcelain floor with stained grout. There was multiple colors installed from repairs done through the years.

We deep cleaned floors and light polished the tiles to revive the dingy and aged finish. Normally porcelain doesn’t need polishing but the added step made a big difference on this particular floors appearance.

We then carefully cut out every grout line to a 1/4” depth including verticals.

We then proceeded to regrout with laticrete permacolor grout. Floor was finished off with a penetrating sealer for added protection

Some might say this is over kill, but I say it’s thorough. Very happy to bring back to life an outdated floor

INTERIOR LIMESTONE FLOORS

/

KIHEI, MAUI, HI

Another white limestone floor. This was a brand new install and had problems from the get go. The contractor did an awesome job installing it. But unfortunately the nature of white limestone floors are, you can see traffic areas right away. The matter the finish the more it tends to grab dirt and oils from your feet.

We have been trying different products and methods of honing to help surface of stone become more resistant while keeping and matte/satin finish. Every stone and floor is different and can have it own challenges.

We work hard to have great results.

This material will need an ongoing maintenance schedule, a little more than the other materials. But it’s a beautiful stone if properly maintained.

We handle all natural stone materials, but if you have limestone floors or showers, call us at 808.877.0222

We can give you the help you need and deserve.

DRIVEWAY STAIN AND SEAL

/

WAILEA, MAUI, HI

This concrete driveway was integrally colored with this salmon pink color. There was a mix up with color codes.

Integral colored concrete is super expensive already. Especially when it’s the wrong color. The contractor tried to remedy by painting a concrete paint that immediately failed as soon as it was driven on. We had to strip off coating or paint in order to get to bare concrete. This also added to the cost.

We used a WB stain with heavy pigments to cover over the pinkish color. Fortunately the client wanted a dark walnut color and didn’t care about over saturation. The goal was to hide the pink.

Mission accomplished

EXTERIOR QUARTZITE POOL DECK, KAANAPALI, MAUI

/

This quartzite pool deck had a topical coating style sealer. At some point before the sale of this home, a wet look sealer was applied right over all the years of red int and build up. It looked shiny but had no color except a red tone over everything.

Our service included stripping off coating and a restorative cleaning to bring back stone to original state. We finished off with a color enhancing penetrating sealer to bring back vibrancy of stones colors. The coping of the pool and spa was concrete, so we cleaned it and gave it some color with a water based stain to freshen up.

New owners were surprised to see so much color and character in their stone. Another happy and satisfied customer.
