Q: Can chipped or cracked granite be salvaged?

• <div><p>In most cases, chipped or cracked granite can be salvaged, but it depends on the size and scope of the damage. For example, a pro can smooth out small chips on the edge with polish pads or an angle grinder, but a crack that runs through the stone's surface has little-to-no chance of being fixed easily.</p></div>

Q: Can you use a power sander to clean mortar from bricks?

• <div><p>No, using a power sander on brick is not recommended because the force of the sander can destroy brick's fragile outer layer. Even using sandpaper on brick is discouraged because of the damage its abrasiveness can cause. </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>

Q: Can you make granite countertops darker?

• <div><p>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&rsquo;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&rsquo;t get the best outcome if you try to stain over granite to make it darker.</p><p>Instead, consider honing, painting, or applying another material over the top of the granite to make it appear darker.</p></div>

Frank and Joe did a fantastic job mitigating the mold in our basement crawl space. It was a tough job, and they worked hard. There are lots of ways to try and remove mold. But if you donâ t do it rightâ ¦ most of them just seem to make the mold bloom more. The Failsafe team knew their stuff,...

We last had our system pumped out several years ago, and that company had trouble finding it, and had to dig into my wife's garden. George and Eddie came out and had the technology and tools to find it and pump it. The digging was hard, and I had a lot of questions about the tank and its...

Tony and his crew were amazing! They did the work quickly but safely. They took down several trees near my home and made it look easy. They left the site clean and looking so much better. Their price was very fair. I have more work to be done and will be hiring them again.

Greg was wonderful and did a good job. (There's still a minor problem, but he wasn't the cause.) He, however, was expensive. But you get what you pay for. He graciously wrote up an invoice for me when it appeared the moving company was going to pay for the repairs. A very happy ending.
