"I had a broken piece of stone in my kitchen countertop, right in the front of the sink. There was a vein in the stone that I think water got in and eventually caused a crack. Eran quickly came and quoted the job for me and did the work the next day. He did the job fast and cleanly. The stone repair could have been a little smoother in my opinion, but it is well sealed and the glue matches the stone well and nobody will ever see the repair. While he was there, he re-caulked the entire sink to prevent that kind of crack from happening again. All in all, a great experience."

"The whole procedure was too simplified than I was expecting.
Basically, he seems to clean one section and not the other.
Simply got some type of wax and buffed the granite...that's it.
I am not sure if the service was worth the cost.
I have doubts in my mine

"Well. The team was on time and did a great job. I gave a B for professionalism because they did not dress professionally. Well fitting jeans and a tucked in solid colored or company branded t-shirt would raise the score for professionalism...but that is the only mark against them. The service was otherwise excellent."

"Great job. These ladies kept their noses to the grindstone. Asked questions, do you want this or that cleaned? To what extent and how or what do you want us to use on that? Really appreciated that they kept an open dialog about things and how we liked them. Did not waste any time nor did they chit chat with each other until the very end. They coordinated well with each other, could hear "you do this and I will do that" which makes for great teamwork and faster finish. Awesome company and very personable staff."

"After wour father passed away in January, we decided to keep his home and prepare it for a rental.  As we needed new carpeting and window coverings throughout, we contacted several companies for bids one carpeting and for mini-blinds.
After reviewing Angie's List, we walked into Felikian's on a Saturday morning.  We were immediately greeted by Andre, the manager.  He listened as we explained our situation and then offered to show us samples.  He did not try to up-sell us but rather explained what he thought best for a quality rental property.
We made arrangements for Andre to visit the property to measure the floor and windows.  He called a couple days later and gave us the estimate for carpeting and then mini-blinds.  We returned to see him the following Saturday and paid for the work.  Although I had my Angie's List ad for Felikians, offering no sales tax, in my briefcase, Andre presented us with his written estimate and it already included the no tax offer.  We were pleased.
Andre called a few days later and said that they would be ready to install the carpeting and mini-blinds.  We delivered the keys to him and explained how to turn off the home's alarm.  On the day they arrived to install, our handyman, a trusted friend, was there to do other work.  He called me later to tell me how professional, efficient and friendly the installers were.
When we visited the property a few days later, we inspected everything and were amazed at the qu ality of the products and the work as performed.  Andre and Felikian's Carpeting are outstanding!
If we need any floor coverings or window coverings in the future, we're calling Andre.  Thank you, Andre and thank you, Angie's List.

"It all went very smoothly and on schedule. Blanco and 2 helpers showed up the first day right on time they quickly moved the furniture and removed the carpets.  They sanded the floors then applied the stain. They let it dry overnight and applied urethan the next morning. They came back that evening and the finish was still not completely dry the weather was unseasonably cold so they waited till the next day to put back the furniture. During the process they were also careful not to contaminate the rest of the house with dust by putting up plastic barriers on all the doorways. There may have been some other steps in between but I was at work most of the day. Blanco was easy and pleasant to work with and did everything he said he would. I would definitely use them again."

"I am very happy with every aspect of the work done by Gaby and Lisa of Dust Away Maids.  They showed up on time, were both very pleasant and professional, and they worked non-stop for two hours to clean my very dirty home.  Due to personal matters, I have not been able to do any proper housecleaning for about two months, so they had their work cut out for them. The two bathrooms were scrubbed, the carpets were vacuumed, the furniture was dusted (everywhere, nothing was missed),  the floors were mopped, the horizontal blinds were dusted, the kitchen cabinets were wiped clean along with all the counter tops, the embarrassingly-crusty stove top is now cleaner than it has ever been.   They even dusted the picture frames -- something I often forget to do.   I would surely hire them again in the future.

Buffing and Polishing questions, answered by experts

You generally cannot change the color of the natural stone, such as making granite countertops darker or lighter. Some people claim that certain chemicals will lighten or darken granite, but those will damage the stone and not provide uniform, expected results, so it’s better not to try. Similarly, some people ask whether they can stain over granite. Granite is beloved for its stain-resistant finish, so you probably won’t get the best outcome if you try to stain over granite to make it darker.

Instead, consider honing, painting, or applying another material over the top of the granite to make it appear darker.

Marble is high maintenance, like most other types of natural stone flooring. However, because it is naturally a more porous stone, there are a few added care instructions. You will need to clean it often to prevent dirt and grit from scratching the finish and surface, keep it dry, clean up spills immediately, and have it professionally sealed and refinished at least once a year to maintain the shine and water-tight surface. However, investing in maintenance is a smart move because marble floors are among the most beautiful and valuable types of flooring when properly cared for.

The frequency for sealing granite countertops depends on several factors, including the type of sealant used, the color of the granite, and how heavily the countertops are used. As a general guideline, resealing is often recommended every 12 to 18 months, but some sources suggest it could be as often as every few months or at least once a year.

The type of sealant is a major factor: water-based sealants may need reapplication every six months to a year, while more durable solvent-based sealants can last for five to 10 years. Additionally, factors like heavy kitchen traffic, frequent use of acidic cleaners, and lighter granite colors may require more frequent sealing to prevent staining.

To determine if your countertops need resealing, you can perform a simple water test. Place a few drops of water or a wet paper towel on an inconspicuous area of the granite. After 10 to 15 minutes, check the spot. If the water has beaded up, the seal is still intact. If the water has been absorbed and darkened the stone, it's time to apply a new coat of sealant. You can choose to seal the granite yourself or hire a professional to ensure it's done correctly.

White quartz is a very low-maintenance countertop material. It’s nonporous, so it won’t stain, even if you spill dark liquids on it. The light color will make dirt show up much easier, but a simple wipe-down will keep the countertops looking fresh and bright for years to come. However, it might not be the best kitchen countertop idea on a budget because it's expensive.

Routine sealing, avoiding heavy loads, and proper drainage improve lifespan. Regular inspections help catch and remedy problems early.
