Considering Concrete Floors

Big Shoutout to Patscolor.com. If you’re considering polishing your concrete instead of adding additional flooring material, check out the pictures at the blog Pats Guide to Polished Concrete Flooring. It’s a great place to start.

“Polished concrete flooring has a number of benefits when compared to other flooring options. First of all, it is more cost effective than most, especially as it needs slightly less treatment and maintenance.... read more at”

Pool Tile Coping Hard Water Stain Removal in Lahaina Maui

Pool tile and hardwater are not happy partners. Clean the hard water lines too aggressively and it damages the tile and your problem gets worse. Media blasting is the best, gentlest way to treat your pool tile. Using an experienced stone and tile expert ensures the proper media choice is made to protect the surface of the tiles from damage during cleaning.

Travertine Lanai Stain Removal

Some really great results from using the proper methods to gently remove staining while protecting the integrity of the travertine stone tiles. It’s important to use a stone restoration expert rather than a janitorial company to treat travertine because stone requires a fine balance of treatment without cleaning the stone too aggressively. Getting the stone clean can be done in a way that compromises the life span of the stone or it can be finessed and cared for to restore the original look of the travertine while extending the lifespan of the floor, shower, or counter. Proper protection after cleaning is a must to prevent the porosity of the surface from collecting deep stains that can’t be removed. We don’t recommend letting anyone who is not a natural stone specialist apply products to your stone floors because fixing an error is almost always more costly than just getting it right the first time.

Brown Moroccan Limestone Counter

Limestone counter high polish in Kula, maui

I love working upcountry in awesome kula maui. It's nice and cool, with great views and ten minutes from my house (bonus). This is one of our long time clients. This counter my look familiar because I posted pictures before, we've restored and polished it a few times. It's a beautiful stone you don't see very often. Beautiful but requires a lot of care and maintenance. This time we applied a new protective product which is ideal for sensitive stone counters. It makes the surface etch proof and stain proof. Along with that as you can tell the reflection is excellent. It will make stone last longer and make daily cleaning a lot simpler.  If you would like to know if your counter is a good candidate for this process call 808.877.0222

Crema Marfil Marble Floor

This floor was in really bad shape. Lots of etch marks, dirty grout, lots of holes and chips to fill, missing grout. We had to deep clean to get tiles and grout nice and fresh. We had to diamond sand to remove wear and damage. We finished by top polishing and sealing. 

This is a very difficult stone to maintain. Especially if it is in a high occupancy vacation rental. We will work with the managing company to put together a regular program.

LIMESTONE FLOOR CARE

Marble Floor Lahaina Resort : Polish project

We had the privilege of being part of a big renovation of a major hotel. This floor needed a little face lift. We did a 1 step diamond sand to prep for a high polish finish. The budget for this project didn’t allow us to do a deeper restoration but we still got great results. Notice how the before is dull and non-reflective, and the after is a high polish, so reflective you can see the light from above.

Granite boarders

We were on this project for a while. This client had lots of stone inside and out of her home. All her pathways had these pavers and granite boarders. It was a little challenging because of the landscape and different treatments of the two materials. Red dirt had stained this granite and needed to be cleaned and resurfaced. We sealed it with a high grade empregnator and expect to get long lasting protection

Marble Polish

This home had a lot of beautiful marble. We had to cut marble by diamond sanding to get a good prep to achieve an even high polish finIsh for both floors and counters. 

As you can see we got great results. Another satisfied customer.

SRN Mash Up

Went to Rochester NY for a three day work shop with the SRN ( Stone Repair Network ) Met up with some of the alumni and had a great time. 

Practiced on some white carerra marble did a 7 step polish from 50 grit to powder polish.  

The granite was broken in 3 pieces. I color matched and epoxyed back together. After I had to grind down to smooth seams and polish to get full reflection back

We tried out some various polishes on the stone grid pallet.

Granite Floor

Working on hotel projects can be challenging. This floor had been sealed improperly with a topical coating. It was re coated over without removing the dirt and grease stains, which locked them in. We had to do multiple applications of coating remover while preserving all the surrounding areas. We used a biodegradable citrus smelling remover so as not to disturb the guest too much more than we were. This pic is after it was stripped clean. We finished off with a color enhancing sealer to bring back some of the greens and blues. 

Another successful stone job.
