How do I maintain repaired stone countertops?

• <div><p>Use a pH-balanced cleaner, avoid abrasive materials, and reseal porous stones like granite annually to maintain durability.</p></div>

What are the dull spots on my marble floor?

• <div><p>If you notice dull spots on your marble floor, that could result from etching. If you’ve used the wrong type of floor cleaner in the past or left a spill unattended for too long, your marble floor may have suffered some surface damage. While there are ways to <a href="https://www.angi.com/articles/stone-and-countertop-etching.htm">protect your natural stone from etching</a>, you may have to call in a professional for repairs.</p></div>

How do you clean natural stone tiles?

• <div><p>To clean stone tiles, first sweep or vacuum to remove dirt particles. Use a mild, pH-neutral detergent and warm water to mop. Be careful not to use acidic cleaning solutions, such as vinegar and lemon juice, which can damage the surface.</p></div>

Are stone steps slippery?

• <div><p>It depends on the material. Sandstone, slate, and granite can be slippery in wet weather. Applying a sealant to the stone can often stop it from absorbing moisture and may reduce the likelihood of slipping. If you're concerned about losing footing, a safer option might be bluestone or concrete.</p></div>

Does white quartz yellow over time?

• <div><p><a href="https://www.angi.com/articles/white-quartz-countertops.htm">White quartz countertops</a> can yellow over time if exposed to sunlight. To prevent this, avoid installing white or light-colored quartz countertops in a kitchen with a lot of natural light, and never install quartz in an outdoor kitchen.</p></div>

"Was unable to attend the inspection but I was very pleased with the results. The report was highly detailed and included items that I never noticed during my two visits to the unit, such as missing grout against a threshold. Was pleased with attentive customer service too. One drawback was it was more expensive than I was expecting, but I think I received value for my money. Would use again and would recommend to others."

We are the largest wood floor re-finishers in the world. Completely 100% dust free and certified green. Most jobs completed in just 6 to 9 hours and you can walk right on your floors as soon as our service is complete.Call us before you sand!

"Terrible. Floor boards replaced and they looked great originally but eight months later the floor is sinking and mr. Sandless says there is nothing they can do. Paid $1200 and the floors don’t look any different. The best part of the work was the board replacement and now that’s a loss. Would never hire again. Rude to my wife…yelling “ I ain’t moving no stove”. Just awful but we endured it hoping to see floors that were shiny and beautiful…going to just replace entire floor."
