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’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: Does soapstone crack easily?

• <div><p>No, soapstone does not crack easily. The softness of the material protects it from cracking but makes it prone to other types of damage such as scratches. Scratches may need to be buffed out occasionally using fine-grit sandpaper. You can also conceal minor scratches in your soapstone countertops by rubbing the surface with mineral oil.</p></div>

Q: Are DIY repairs for stone countertops effective?

• <div><p>DIY repairs can address minor issues like small scratches but may not effectively fix larger problems like major cracks or stains. Professional repair ensures proper materials and techniques are used to restore the countertop fully.</p></div>

Q: How can I prevent future damage to brick and stone flatwork?

• <div><p>Routine sealing, avoiding heavy loads, and proper drainage improve lifespan. Regular inspections help catch and remedy problems early.</p></div>

Q: How do I maintain cleaned tiles and grout?

• <div><p>Seal grout annually, clean spills promptly, and use mild cleaners to prevent buildup.</p></div>

Went fine. They need to be able to accomodate people with more of a variety of polish colors and definitely more of an ability to do better nail art. The owner is very good doing acrylic fill in's.

"Keith arrived early, set up shop and went to work. He did a phenomenal job. Took his time and did it right. Great price too. I have vinyl floors that were dirty, stained, and sticky. My floors now have their original shine! I would definitely recommend him to anyone in my building."
