Q: What happens to granite if you don’t seal it?

• <div><p>Unsealed granite is more susceptible to staining and other damage. Regularly sealing your granite countertops decreases the chances you&rsquo;ll need to <a href="https://www.angi.com/articles/can-i-repair-damaged-countertop.htm">repair damaged countertops</a> in the future. It also keeps it looking shiny rather than becoming dull over time. You can check whether your granite needs resealing by putting a few drops of water on the counter and waiting 15 minutes to see whether the water permeates the surface.</p></div>

Q: Is it worth it to restore stone?

• <div><p>In many cases, it&rsquo;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&rsquo;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. <a href="https://www.angi.com/articles/natural-stone-flooring.htm">Stone flooring costs</a> range from <b>$6 to $20 per square foot</b> on average.</p></div>

Q: Will Bar Keepers Friend remove the etching on stone counters?

• <div><p>Unfortunately, the product Bar Keepers Friend won&rsquo;t remove etching from stone countertops. In fact, it can make it worse. Bar Keepers Friend contains oxalic acid, which can cause further damage to natural stones like marble or limestone.</p></div>

Q: How long will it take to complete stone restoration work?

• <div><p>How long it takes to complete stone restoration work will vary from home to home and project to project. Overall, a professional can complete a one-room project in one to two days. When vetting your local contractors, be sure to ask them how long they think the project will take to factor in any that could speed up or prolong the completion of the project.</p></div>

Q: What’s the difference between buffing vs. sanding?

• <div><p>Buffing is a less expensive and less time-consuming alternative to other floor repair techniques, but it&rsquo;s only ideal for removing surface-level scratches and damages. Floor-buffing machines work to gently smooth out the floor&rsquo;s top layer rather than removing it the way that sanding does. </p><p>This process is ideal for gently worn floors, but it won&rsquo;t have the desired impact on floors with severe damage. On the other hand, sanding fully strips the floor&rsquo;s top layer so damages beneath the surface are accessible to remove or repair. Since the process is more involved, it requires more time, tools, and experience to achieve the best possible results. </p></div>
