Does water stain marble?

• <div><p>Since marble is a porous material, it is more prone to water spots than other countertop options. Fortunately, pure water doesn’t damage your marble, but if the water is acidic, it can cause stains or water spots. Resealing throughout the year can help increase marble’s water resistance, too.</p></div>

What does a mason do?

• <div><p>A mason lays brick or stone together, sometimes with mortar in between the bricks and stones, and sometimes without mortar, also called a dry-stack or surface bonding. Examples of work masons do include:</p><ul><li><p>Brick, stone, or cement block houses and buildings</p></li><li><p>Freestanding stone or <a href="https://www.angi.com/articles/brick-wall-cost.htm">brick walls</a></p></li><li><p>Chimneys with wood-burning fireplaces</p></li><li><p>Cement block basement or crawl space walls</p></li></ul><p></p></div>

Q: Does German smear need to be sealed?

• <div><p>You don&rsquo;t need to seal German smear; the mortar is already acting as a sealant for the bricks. You can seal the mortar, though, if you wish to further protect the area from stains, moisture, and dirt or make it easier to clean and maintain. Note that a sealant will make the mortar appear more glossy.</p></div>

Q: What are the benefits of stone restoration and polishing?

• <div><p>Stone restoration and polishing enhance the beauty and longevity of stone surfaces by repairing damage and restoring their original shine and functionality.</p></div>

Q: Can Silestone be used outdoors?

• <div><p>Silestone&reg; isn&rsquo;t recommended for outdoor use because UV rays can damage the surface. Long-term exposure to direct sunlight can cause discoloration. Instead, choose an outdoor-friendly countertop material like tile, concrete, stainless steel, or natural stone. If you do choose a natural stone, make sure you either seal it or avoid highly porous stones. For example, choose soapstone over marble. </p></div>

Highly recommend not using Lynn for any shower tile work. I paid him $3,400 in materials and labor for a tile shower job. Beautiful materials, but put together with the utmost care. So many of the tiles are not lined up. They’re either sunken in or sticking out from the next tile. He didn’t even...

I love going to Sass for my manicures and pedicures. Kelly is the absolute best. She's very careful and detailed and is so pleasant to talk to! Also my polish lasts longer than it ever has from any other salon.

I went in to morrow farrar jewelers to get my engagement ring tightened. They inspected my diamond thoroughly, and then informed me that the jeweler would be on vacation for the next five days. They also explained that they do everything in house, so all work would be done by this jeweler. Since...

Years ago, I ruined the finish on the one and only tub in my 1960 home. I attempted to repair myself (using a product from Sherwin Williams) only to find drips and uneven surfaces inside the tub. Hot baths led to my finish peeling and, well, by the time I decided to call a professional, the...

Prices are more than fair or probably even cheaper than standard at this salon. Quality is top notch there and you will most likely never be disappointed with the way your nails come out there, no matter who does them. So, if you want a sure thing, especially if you are going to a wedding or...

Lesher was the subcontractor to Ed Lank Kitchens on our kitchen update, so I'm not exactly sure how much the cost was. They sent a technician to the house to measure for the countertops and asked us to come to the showroom to select our granite slabs. The installation went well and we were...

As always, it went extremely well. They had the stock information for the laminate in my house, gave me a ballpark estimate on the phone so that I could decide if I wanted the work done, and came out to take measurements for the installation. The flooring was installed promptly as scheduled, and...
