"Greg is very experienced and skilled in all facets of tile and stone projects. He is honest, meticulous and a genuine craftsman. Although my project was somewhat small, the replacement of a water-damaged granite fireplace hearth, he made excellent recommendations as to options. Greg was prompt and kept the work area very clean throughout the project. I highly recommend GM Tile & Stone!"

Natural Stone is our specialty and we dedicate 100% of our time perfecting the art of natural stone installations and in creating a mesmerizing one of a kind marble, granite or quartz countertop that you have always wanted. We strive each and every time to create a beautiful, custom tile masterpiece installation on any tile setting subtrate. We specialize in tile floors, walls, showers, tubs, backsplash, outdoor landscape veneer stone as well as flagstone. We know that natural stone can withstand the test of time, but only if it's installed correctly, the first time. We can tell when an installer "is doing his job", "likes his job" or "loves his job", and not by speaking to him about his experience but by looking at his finish product, it speaks for itself. Our many years of experience have thaught us that not every stone is created equal, meaning that you can't always apply the same tactics to every installation, which includes materials used, preparation of subtrates before install, handling of the stone, the layout and pattern of tile, the way the cuts are made, among so many other things. Knowing your stone is an essential part of the installation process. We have learned all we know by the many, many years of hands on experience we have, by trial and error and by the dedication we have to perfecting our trade. Regardless of job size or stone being used, we always strive for perfection. We don't offer any other services. We are not plumber's, electricians or carpenters. We are not "Handyman" or "Jack of all trades" but proudly an "Ace of one ". Our Tile Setters ONLY install tile and our Granite Fabricators ONLY frabricate/install Granite Countertops.

"They did a good job. We purchased the Angie's Deal for new granite countertops for $1499. Of course we ended up choosing a higher priced granite, needing more granite square footage than the deal covered, and upgrading the sink for additional cost. They also needed to move up the electrical outlets to accommodate for the new 6 inch granite backsplash. Bryan and his team did the entire job in 2 days and were great. One thing to mention is that they do not hook back up the sink after the job. They were very clear about that in their estimate. We called a separate plumber for that the next day. Overall, very happy with my counters. Now if someone else would just do the cooking in there!"

Granite Restoration 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.

In many cases, it’s worth it to restore stone. Stone restoration generally costs less than replacing the stone entirely, helping to save on the cost of your project while still giving your home’s stone a polished appearance. However, if your stone is very cracked or crumbling to the point of compromising the structural integrity of your home, you may want to consider replacing it. Stone flooring costs range from $6 to $20 per square foot on average.

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.

Both buffing and polishing increase the longevity of your floors by removing scratches and buildup, but they are different processes. Polishing removes the top layer of your floor, removing surface-level scuffs and scratches. Buffing your floor involves filling the scratches and scuffs with a buffing solution. No matter which method you choose, you can rest assured that both techniques will leave your floor looking shiny and new.  

Stone restoration and polishing enhance the beauty and longevity of stone surfaces by repairing damage and restoring their original shine and functionality.
