"This is the third job David has completed for me and I highly recommend him for anything stone related. The 1st job was a restoration of a 100 year old marble table which had a cracked top and was missing a corner of the base pedestal. He completely rebuilt and then polished the whole table on site. The next job involved releveling and regrouting a bluestone patio. The 3rd job was restoring soapstone countertops. David shows up on time, has a good eye for detail, cares about and is knowledgeable about his work, and is honest and respectful."

"I was told by many contractors that the job I had couldnâÂÂt be done. Lionize came to give an estimate and told me that they could remove the stain on our fieldstone. At one point I honestly believed that I was going to have to replace the stone. Lionize is professional, timely, courteous and knowledgeable. I wouldnât hesitate to have them back. Couldnât be happier."
"Marble floor looked great after they removed slippage and restored. Friendly conscientious workers. Returned promptly to fix a small area that needed refinishing"
"I absolutely LOVE the countertops Laser Marble installed in our kitchen. I worked directly with Jennifer to discuss everything from style/type of countertop to details of the installation. They were extremely thorough and accommodating throughout it all. This quality of the stone and the customer service were provided were impeccable. Jennifer sent me videos and pictures of the stone I picked out and explained everything! I would HIGHLY advise anyone looking for any type of stone or tile for your home or business to please consult with Laser Marble. I’m the president of my HOA and will definitely be passing on their information to other homeowners in my neighborhood!!"

Standing water can lead to surface discoloration if your granite countertops are improperly sealed. However, it’s possible to remove hard water stains with a baking soda paste. Take more care with acidic liquids, such as fruit juice or red wine, which can leave more permanent stains. That’s why it’s so important to reseal these surfaces regularly.
Yes, stains can often be removed using a poultice paste that draws out the stain. The paste is applied, allowed to dry, and then removed, lifting the stain from the stone.
For most homeowners, quartz and quartzite countertops are similar in price. The average quartz countertop installation costs $80 to $220 per square foot, while quartz countertops cost $70 to $200 per square foot. Of course, there are outliers, like if you choose a highly customized, rare natural stone with high-end finishes.
Extensive chips and cracks may require a full replacement of the countertop. The cost to install a new countertop is around $3,100 on average. But, if the damaged area is relatively small, you may want to consider repairing it yourself or calling in a qualified professional. Depending on the material, some epoxy and sandpaper may do the trick. Or you can consider painting laminate countertops or refinishing butcher block countertops.
Unsealed granite is more susceptible to staining and other damage. Regularly sealing your granite countertops decreases the chances you’ll need to repair damaged countertops 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.
